100% true. And yet, more than Arthur.

The other three Viola mids have a better rating than Arthur. It's funny that even in his best match in years, he was still his team's worst midfielder :D

I can't imagine it, for two reasons: 1. He was injured for 301 days and 47 matches from 2021 onwards. He won't become miraculously available for most of the matches in 2023-24. 2. He gathered only 13 minutes of playing time for Liverpool and not a single minute in the EPL. The English clubs will...

If Arthur has even a passable season in Liverpool, then I know nothing at all about football. Everything about Arthur suggests that he will do even worse in the EPL. He's a small guy who looks like he's about to die after 20 minutes of running, who can't play direct football, can't send long...

He won't.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? We're tricking him into thinking that he'll sign for Pool while he actually signs for Blackpool in Championship?

Pjanic was 30 when we sold him to Barcelona.

No, your original post was better. I'll say it myself too: Fuck you bitch!

Yeah, we have to. I am shocked of the defensive (un)awareness of some of our midfielders, and by some I mean Rabiot and Arthur. Rabiot didn't follow Villarreal's mids movement for at least 3-4 times during that match, and one time it cost us dearly. I paid special attention to Arthur's movement...

Yup. I am especially frustrated how illiterate he is in reading the pitch. A playmaker should have eyes at the back of his head and on the sides, but this guy is like an one-eyed pirate. Especially when we defend.

Szczesny with more assists than Arthur this year.

I just don't see it. What is it that a good coach can take from Arthur? Is he a playmaker? He can't pass at all. Is he a DM? He can't defend at all. Is he a b2b? He doesn't run, can't tackle, and he certainly can't shoot. He can't jump. I swear that this is the first time I'm seeing a...

*Agnelli brings Del Piero to the lockerroom. * Arthur and McKennie: "Who's this?" So, no, that won't work I'm afraid :D

A joke and misery of a player. Anyone has an idea when will we have to pay those 10m euro in variables? We bought him for 72m euro+10m in variables. He signed a 5-year contract. That means that each year on his contract is worth 14.4m euro. In order to avoid minusvalenza, if we sell him this...

Yeah, never my favorite. I cruised through this thread earlier today and the posts in 2017, 18, 19 were like: "Excellent, except for...", and then in the next match "Bad performance, except for that pass/shot/goal/tackle". Never a completely great, or completely bad match. In Allegri's time he...

That's on Pirlo, indeed. We are all shouting at Bentancur and blaming him for those fuck ups, but how many mistakes of this kind do you think we'd have made in the past if we forced Vidal or Pogba to play in front of the defense and were instructed to backpass so close to our goal? How many such...

This would have been Pjanic's last season here if he stayed. We had a choice, to offer him a new long contract - because at 30 he wouldn't have accepted a short contract - or to sell him. If we kept him for one more season without offering him a new contract, we'd have lost him for free this...

And he's unsellable because we wanted a big plusvalenza on Pjanic and we inflated both his and Pjanic's price. Now he's someone we bought for 80m euro on a 5 year contract. If we don't sell him for ~65M euro this summer, it's gonna be a huge minusvalenza and our directors won't let that happen...

He doesn't read the game at all. You already discussed his limits in the offensive phase, but he's also a terrible defender. His positioning when we defend is disastrous. He can't predict where a pass will go, he's late to cover etc. Pirlo and Pjanic were slower players, but class defenders...

Is he a smoker? I don't remember seeing a midfielder who's struggling for air after 55-60 minutes. He's a bad passer and terrible defender from minute 1, but after an hour he becomes ridiculously bad at those two things.
