Kushanov has been great for Lens.

Don't Barcola and Doue play primarily on the left, same as Kvara? I don't watch PSG outside of champions league, but feel like they need a 9 more than a LW.

They do but Ramos is finally back healthy so that will help.
Doue plays 10, false 9, LW and RW.
Barcola is really Lw (can play rw). Dembele can play either wing.
I think Kvara will be asked to play either 10 or false 9. Just my opinion though.

PSG also doesn't have huge depth at wing. Doue and Lee can play there but if Barcola or Dembele go down, they'll struggle.
They also need a 9 replacing Kolo.

Honestly Kvara is the one that Arsenal should be signing. PSG is a very dumb move for him, but I think he’s just trying to get out of Napoli ASAP

And this was before that post:

 

[Vasilevskiy]

I also don't like the fit for PSG. Let the french players develop there.
Liverpool would be better IMO especially since Salah looks potentially done there after this year.

Of course FCB should be all over him as well but considering we don't have €€€ it is what it is

 

[Epictetus]

Doubt Liverpool can hijack the deal then if he's agreed to personal terms with PSG.

I think LFC would be better than PSG, but also think there would be better places than LFC for him (in the Prem alone). Don’t think this has anything to do with Salah though.

This would also be a good spot for him

I think LFC would need to be very decisive. Basically they need to show Kvara they are legit to the point where he doesn’t want the PSG move. It’ll be tough but it’s not impossible. Honestly I don’t know how LFC let Joyce and Ornstein get this story if they don’t think they can pull it off because another failed transfer is going to be horrible PR/received terribly by the fan base. But they are also obviously behind the eight ball here.

What you guys miss is that PSG have been after him for a long time. That counts for a player.
Also important are the coach and City they'll live in.

I assure you, this is not lost on me whatsoever. This definitely matters, but who knows maybe he really wants to play with his best friend Mamardashvili? Maybe he wants to play in Champions League this season past the group stage, maybe he wants to be on the current PL favorite? It’ll just depends what he priorities are. But it’s hard to fault the player if he wants to go to Paris. I certainly would not say no to going to Paris

Again I just go back to LFC’s transfer policy where they basically have decided that they only hunting for unicorns. Which is a fine policy ONLY IF you can get those players signed. It’s what drives the fan base crazy. If they are going to take that approach they can’t be letting guys like Yoro go to Man Utd, letting Kvara go to PSG, etc.

If there are only a handful of players on a list they HAVE to do a better job of locking in those players

 

[S E P H]

- Inter Milan is preparing a bid for Zinchenko.

- Also, Arsenal is getting a percentage of the sell-on clause for Mika Biereth after he moved to Monaco from Graz.

- Arsenal looking at Mbeumo as Saka's replacement.

- Arteta is confirming that it will be hard to strengthen Arsenal in January, so I guess this season is a complete loss.

Good luck bringing him in for your PSG mate.

I really don't need a Lw (could use a RW though). Who has him anyway?

That doesn't really align with your "he'd be dumb" post...
