Kane should let him know that a proper agent might be a good idea.

I was expecting more haha. 5 in 17. I mean ok?

Well, I have my popcorn ready.

Arsenal are about to not learn their lesson from Willian, aren’t they?

Beats 4 in 23.

Hes on 310k / week. Lol.

What a terrible comparison.

 

[RossFC]

Gini would be good for Arsenal, durable player, starting quality and offers protection in midfield. Could even be a threat going forward if allowed.

Edit: They shouldn’t be paying more than half his wages though, that might be a stumbling block.

 

[RPCB]

What a terrible comparison.

I am not comparing the two. More that on those wages, it could backfire.

Yep and at the time none of the massive clubs were interested in him for good reason. So I found it funny that the press were reporting all the big clubs are falling over themselves to grab a guy who has 5 in 17. I call bullshit.

Yeah awful comparison. Willian was clearly cooked. Gini is an excellent footballer.

Have you even watched him play?

Seems weird that you are only going off a goals in matches stat.

 

[Zidane98]

I reckion Gini is regretting his move to PSG now. Sometimes the biggest wage packet isn't the best for your career.

I guess because the PL and Championship are slightly better leagues than the Egyptian league, but I'm only guessing.

Also as Chef said, perhaps because clubs don't just look at a player's wiki page for goals to games to decide whether they're worth buying.

Sounds more like we'll have a go for Origi in the upcoming window.

No, I've never heard of him. I just found the article funny. Claiming all the top team in the world are clamouring after him is usually followed by him having scored 15 in 16 games or something but then it followed up with 5 in 17. I just thought it was funny. Get in line lads for this goal scoring machine! Haha

You're missing the point as usual and pushing your own narrative. Meh.

We aren't selling Origi in January transfer window unless it's on deadline day. Will be needed for most of January with Mane/Salah away.

Don't think I'm the one missing the point.

He scored in the PL last season as an 18 year old and has looked terrific for Fulham this season.

The point of comparing to Salah was that sneering at his goal output over his first two seasons is so irrelevant to judging the quality of a player.

 

[RPCB]

Yeah awful comparison. Willian was clearly cooked. Gini is an excellent footballer.

Ah yeah sorry mate, I didnt see that and I posted my reply before seeing your follow up.

Wages will be a big concern if he is to go anywhere on loan.
