I have not seen any official sources and I'm not well versed in the Liverpool Twitter pages. This could mean nothing. If David continues to develop, playing under Klopp is a great place to do that. I would obviously want him at Arsenal but we have proven to be a volatile place to play over the past couple of years.

David is an old link. Not sure Liverpool go back there. Usually their targets aren’t popular until the deal is almost done. They probably sign Tchouameni if Mbappe goes to Madrid for example. Look how quickly they got Diaz done in the winter.

Express highly unlikely that the Express would be the source to get a scoop on this either way. Most popular name connected right now is Darwin Nunez but with the way LFC operate they it could be anyone.also some rumblings that they were going to try to get Kane or Sonny out of Tottenham if Tottenham missed UCL, but nothing has really materialized yet in Terms of who a Mane replacement would be.

You taking a jab at me lol? I said Verratti was overrated, not that he sucks.
None of the French players listed would start for United best-11 right now. That's the point being made.



That's why they're shipping his ass back to Lyon when they are in desperate need of a decent striker.

Also, just because Fekir had somewhat of decent season after being piss poor does not warrant him starting ahead of Bruno - who is quite clearly the better player.
They're not shipping him. He's free to go.
And Arsenal's player decisions have been disastrous for a while so that's quite the awful argument.
Fekir didn't have a decent season (you stated the contrary before btw) he had a great season. He can start anywhere up front just in case you have no idea who he is.

As for Verratti overrated lol.

I'm not going to argue semantics with you. They don't think Laca can help them get to the next level, and I don't blame them.
Speaking of Arsenal, they have actually turned around their player decisions as of late with an emphasis of young talent, and targeting actual good players (Vlahovic before he was dead-set on Juventus).

I never said Fekir had a poor 21-22 season, but he was definitely disappointing last season. He was better this season but far from the player he was when Liverpool was after him.

ManU starting 11 consists of Rashford, Sancho, Ronaldo and Bruno up front; no room for Fekir.

Really?
I thought Arsenal had just sold Guendouzi for 11m euros and loaned out Saliba while spilling a monster check for White.
That doesn't scream good decisions to me.

You said Fekir sucked since he left Lyon. That's more than wrong.
And of the players you listed Fekir had the best season of them all.

None of those front 4 except CR7 showed anything last season. If we shipped out all of them I wouldn’t be upset based on last season.

Terrible take honestly. All four are world-class, need better coaching.
ALL 4 are world class? Yeah they scored 49 G+A in 8716 minutes. That’s a G or A every 177 minutes for ONE of those guys. Or 1 goal OR 1 assist every two games. There’s is absolutely no way that would ever or should ever be considered anything close to world class.

Do you not know how to read? Fekir doesn’t need to start over Bruno like I said before they can start together. Also Arsenal isn’t the epitome of intelligence and haven’t played Lacazette properly ever. All of those French players would break into United’s 11 pretty easily. Shit I’d even take Fekir at striker.
Outside of his first year under Wenger, it hasn't been Arsenal holding Lacazette back. I mean, there were even times where we shifted Auba out to the left wing to accommodate Lacazette in the team.

Few Lacazette stats for you all:
1) Went a full year without scoring an away goal in the PL (2019-2020).
2) Scored 4 goals in the PL this year (2 were penalties).
3) His highest non-penalty goal tally in the PL for a season was 13.

Arsenal have several positions to fill in the team, but, even for all his work rate and link up play, Lacazette was not a positive for the team this past season.

Sevilla is one of the most amazing city in the world.
I'm pretty sure Fekir is damn happy there.

I'm probably going to Lisbon and Andalucia (Malaga or Sevilla) this summer :)

My sister went to Andalucia a few years ago, at Torre Molinos (with of course the mandatory trip to Alhambra)
I’m in Seville right now and it’s an amazing city (was in Granada and got the Alhambra as well this week) Caught the Nations league game last night as well. It was stunning (except the football).

I wanted Laca to be good and at times he was, but he was drastically outperformed by Eddie Nketiah this year. The same Eddie Nketiah that we all thought was barely PL level. He's proved to be slightly more than that, but he's a mid table striker at best.

Guendouzi had a whole litany of issues going on. Saliba is coming back. White was very good this year.

Guendouzi is a very good player who's playing for the french NT.
None of the Arsenal midfielder would crack the french NT.
Saliba is starting for the french NT. None of the Arsenal defensemen would crack the french NT.

Yup.

I do agree that Lacazette had a very bad season however he's not the only forward to have bad seasons for Arteta. Other than Saka it's quite normal for these guys to not play very well or very consistently.

It wasn't just under Arteta that Laca has been inconsistent, but even if it was, Arteta is the manager next season. Martinelli also has consistently looked good, even if he's inconsistent in his end product, which is more a product of his finishing and less of Arteta.

No one said Guendouzi isn't good. You're welcome to read back the post I made.
Clearly one Arsenal defenseman would start for the French NT. His name is William Saliba. Perhaps you've heard of him?

Fact is that losing him for 11M euros is awful business.
Since Saliba hasn't played for Arsenal yet.... Maybe Arteta will send him to the u23?

I did the same thing in DC tbh. Especially when waiting for their busted Metro.
Hey now. The DC Metro is actually pretty good. You have to know what to avoid and what to take, and what's out of service, but it's pretty nice compared with some other places.


This comment is so lame.

Just be an adult and say you want to go. We all know it's because Liverpool are cheap.
