No idea why we have Vivell (ex Leipzig) as a technical director if we miss out on such a talent to Liverpool. Release clause was well known, and would have been the perfect replacement for Mount and at the same fee.
Szoboslai's issue is his pace, much like Hakim Ziyech he is a very technical player but without the ability to burst past defenders in top-tier leagues. That said, he will be a very good player in Liverpool's system as they need him to play deeper and more centrally.

Should also point out that Vivell "missed out" on Haaland from RB Salzburg to Dortmund lol

Not sure we need him. 

Are we going to sell chuku?

He is years ahead of Chukwuemeka development wise, and I am still not sure of the plan with Santos, Chuks & Casadei.

He isn’t lightning fast but definitely quicker than Ziyech and has way more tools in his Arsenal. My worry is Liverpool have added 2 quality midfielders with goals & creativity for the same amount we are about to pay for Caicedo who doesn’t offer any of those qualities. If the idea is to add Caicedo & Veiga after gutting the midfield, it’s going to be a long season.

Seeing as we are signing all of these kids, where have we been on this one? Usually you can tell just from seeing a player a few times if they are going straight to the top, I would be shocked if he doesn't end up being one of those players. I don't know if this is accurate, but apparently he has a clause in his contract and can leave for as little as £20m. It's looking like he is going to end up playing for one of Real Madrid or Barcelona though.

Bit like Endrick mate we sign top young talents as long as the likes of Barca and Real are not serious about them.

that's what i was wondering as well. We are dropping 25 million on a "random" Brazilian, why not go for this kid? I think if you offer Fenerbahçe a decent amount of money and you let them loan him back for a year they would probably take it.

These aren't random Brazilian kids though. These are 17-19 year old's who have been playing against men, and performing very well, in a physical and demanding league. It's no mystery as to why South American players have little to no issue adapting to the Premier League.

i mean relatively, that turkish kid is relatively well known in comparison 

 
Not exactly rivals, But how do you all think Burnley will do. Will they stay up ?. I reckon they will. Interested because I am based in the North West. Some of my friends support them.

The most incredible thing about Arda Guler is that he has Michy Batshuayi seeming like a proper striker!

Can't help but think he has made an Odegaard-sized mistake in choosing Real Madrid though. Camavinga is just 3 years older yet has proven his worth to Madrid despite competing with Kroos/Modric, and on the wings Vinicius, Rodrygo and even Endrick are just a different class altogether.

It is difficult to say. For teams who come from championship it is all about player investment (money) and can you adapt your game when you have less talent. 

 
Comical own goal from Jorginho today in Arsenal's opening pre-season fixture. Havertz very anonymous by all accounts as well LOL.
