I have been a fan before his Barca debut. When Barca signed him I was heartbroken and thought we would never see him here. I can't believe we have the opportunity to sign him.
There are not so many talented and young DLPs in the world that are better than Arthur.
I would only rate de jong slightly higher than him. He is by far the best thing we can get in his position this window.
I see people don't rate him much, just wait until he starts for us.
Tbh I watched more of him at Gremio than I have at Barca, as a player alone I like him, never hidden the fact I believe he's a better fit for us than Pjanic is. He won't solve our midfield alone but it's a start. Imo he's a better player than Tonali so probably just as well we're not getting him now.
I really think some people here haven't watched him at all, and just looking at the negatives which tbh everyone keeps mentioning injuries, however he hasn't suffered anything serious to date. And the fact he wants to stay at Barca, well ok but he's never said he doesn't want to join Juve, and the fact he's keen to prove a point still I think will work in our favour and bring fresh motivation. His wage increase from Barcelona again its expected it would be an increase, he's nearly 24 it's not like any potential suitors will give him the same wage, I don't think 5 mill is unreasonable either, compared to some players on our books who earn similar amounts if not more.
Definitely rate this move, it allows us to use the money to improve other areas, Arthur improves our current midfield
