Then again Schalke have gone off the boil.
There are defenders at Arsenal who looked like the keystone cops at times and yet they looked defensively solid on Saturday.

Horrific would be too kind. 1 win all season and that even flatters them.

Yeah, I would think there is a case to be made where a young player is struggling in a side that is too. A move like this could give him the confidence to step up a gear. His dip could even be partly due to missing out on it last summer.

And that win only came in under the new manager, loan with an option to buy on a player being touted up before the season started I’ll take that alongside Davies, if Kabak takes his chance with Klopp then great, if he acts like a twat his career could be a flop before it started, Klopp is popular in Germany and around Europe his word means a lot.

Agreed with @mattyhurst.
And look no further than the American kid Weston McKennie. He wasn’t setting the world on fire at Schalke, but all the raw tools and skills were there. He goes to Juve, plays regularly, and is the talk of the town. He’s doing really well at a big club.

If we get thins lad on loan with no obligation to buy, then we have to suspect Edwards is a warlock.

Well the last few years are a welcome change to seeing us get rinsed in the market on a regular basis. I think the only deal that can be questioned is Keita and that really is down to his injury record rather than the quality of the player. And he still might come good.

The issue wasn’t so much that he spat, which was pretty disgusting, but that he did so during a fucking global pandemic.
As disgusting as flouting any Covid rules, it’s made out here he is spitting every five seconds and that he is the second coming of Diouf, we make mistakes in the heat of the moment.
If it had been 2-3 which I was asking then I’d have an issue.
I’m not sure I’d equate it to just failing to maintain a 2 metre distance.
It could be seen as a criminal offence.
The last guy we bought on January transfer deadline day that had issues with spitting at an opponent for his previous club ended up a pretty good player. Although his character issues didn’t go away in the end 
All that said we need to give Ozan a clean slate if he joins and just get behind the lad.

You will give us Kabak until the end of the season for a small loan fee with no obligation to make it a permanent deal.
You’re kidding. We’re in a relegation fight. If you want him you need to pay a fee.

15 yellow cards in 3 seasons isn’t a lot and the one spitting incident.
No reds bar that.
Win win for me, we are spending peanuts in the market and have no obligation to buy a lad before this season was being talked up at a point in which we are playing midfielders and lads with not even a 3rd of experience he has at the top league level.

It actually is incredible. Makes no sense whatsoever from the selling team’s perspective. Perfect!
Assume it works on the same premise as France outgoings are fine but ingoings aren’t.
