Amazing. Yup, 5 mil more. But honestly, that's not too bad.

Get Onana and Højlund and I'll unclench. Can't wait to see Mount though.

Not even "5 mil more" most likely.

Orny reports that the 5M bonuses are hard ones.

It seems like the deal we put on the table was basically 50M + 5M of fairly easy bonuses. What we agreed to is 55M + 5M of the Balon d'Or special.

Realistically, we probably aren't out any more money. If we are, it'll have been fucking worth it.

I'd gladly have us pay that 5M bonus for a Balon d'Or from him!
What’s the latest on Højlund? Atalanta still have a ridiculous fee?
First megathread of the Lemmy era!! Get in!!
Good first signing, and also before pre-season that's good. I hope for keeper next!

Do we still have enough money to get Onana, Kane, Hojlund, and Osimhen?

Joking, of course. Arsenal has really strengthened their squad so I'm hoping we can keep up.

Onana

Martinez/Varane

Mount/Casemiro/McTominay

Antony/Hojlund/Kane/Osimhen/Rashford

Here we gooooo, every game ends 9-6

I want to reserve judgment but at least he is an upgrade over Eriksen. In ETH I trust!
I’m not so sure he’s an upgrade over Eriksen. I don’t think Mount’s vision is anywhere near Eriksen.
I would argue the fitness is the biggest differentiating factor between the 2
Assuming posts regarding “that gif” will be insta deleted. Not sure if the curse transfers over but really don’t want try.
