GWT: EPL - Matchweek 27

[Savant]

Lot of bad takes/good comedy in here, but you really have me laughing trying to pass off an oft-injured bum in Chiesa as a huge loss for Liverpool. Just because you can say "their only summer signing" doesn't mean it's had any meaningful impact.

Our friend that I spent most of the day talking to loves to use Arsenal's bad transfer window as an excuse. I am simply using Chiesa just to illustrate that Liverpool had an even worse transfer window than Arsenal did. We brought one guy in and all he has done is be injured. Maybe he would be a big loss, maybe he wouldn't but either way LFC has only gotten 25 league minutes out of the only player that they added to the squad

They abandoned their strategy when signing him in the first place. We knew he was often injured, the price was just too good to pass up. Now contrast that to last summer's midfielder signing binge where none of them were often injured and none of them have been injured, selling every often injured midfielder along the way (hence a strategy).

I disagree with the notion that 90 points means it's hard.
It can also mean your league sucks. Except for 2 teams that steamroll everyone.

La Liga.

Can't say I do. He's much better than what he's shown so far.

He chose United though.

If I had access to Arsenal's transfer window, you wouldn't believe the work I would put in.

It would be Gardens of Babylon type of insane beauty, elegance, and supreme aura that you couldn't look away.

He chose United though.

Did he?
He chose Real over PSG, but they wanted to give up 20M max for him. When he got that info, he reached back to PSG and PSG said no (and Lille asked for more from them) because he chose Real over them.
United was the only big team left. That's the reason they signed him.
He's IMO the best CB youngster in the world and it's a pity he's now developping in somewhat toxic environment. I was happy to see ETH gone, but even then it's hardly ideal. At least he can toughen up mentally in such a situation, but he's still awfully young to deal with this crap.
