Player:Saliba
Haven't watched Boating in years but everything I hear is bad.
I think it's more like we don't want to spend 7m on him.
Country: Canada
Longest 3 day saga ever.
Hard to care really.

On loan? If we could just loan him I'd carry him here - he's actually getting minutes for Bayern, of course he's an upgrade.
Just not a longterm contract and a fee for him, that's my problem.
The guy's been the best defender in the world at some point, he's getting old and maybe less hungry, but you don't lose it all all of a sudden

Emery Gone, Telly Back On
He's never been the best, lol
No one at all. The only reason I like loan signings is if I think they’ve got a fair chance at being made permanent. Boateng would just be here to make up the numbers for 4 months.

He was.
Treble season with Bayern and World Cup win, Boateng was the best performing defender in the world by a landslide.
Would rather sign nobody at this rate if we only want loan then we won't get good CB just leave everything until summer

League is very weak
Doesn’t make sense me.

and very few players are going to put in maximum effort if it makes no difference to their future - the only exception is someone like Kallstrom who knew he was never going to have another chance to play for a big club for the first time in his career

Does make perfect sense to me - Raul, Edu and co obviously always seek to minimize the risks as any mistake is going to fall back to them.
They do not seem to be ready to commit any fee for him as they thought they could loan him first which would have them being able to assess the player for 6 months, ultimately leaving them convinced of his abilities or not.
Problem is, you just gotta be naive to think Flamengo would just follow along so easily as there's no upside for them to have a first team player loaned out like this.
We should've known better, that's the dumb part.
Country: England
Missed the whole thing.
I see absolutely no upside to bringing Boateng on loan. Denis Suarez mk3.
Even worse, given how some people at the club wanted to extend Emery, they'd likely buy Boateng after one or two mediocre performances.
Missed the whole thing.
Id like to say it's been a ride, but this was more of a stroll, really.

We're a classy bunch aren't we?

Because it’s social media and anything goes.
What a bunch of dicks. Edu went to Brazil & picked the dude up.
Not on him we are too broke to buy a journeyman CB. He must be fuming.
