Arsenal made a call in recent weeks to understand the situation of Jhon Durán — no offer was made.
@FabrizioRomano

This has to be Duran's agent touting him around and telling everyone what's happening

Big Coutinho/James Rodriguez vibes off Felix.

Chelsea supporter view suggests Disasi is another Carlos. Last ditch merchant and poor on ball. Chelsea is a tough place to succeed so maybe he can calm down with us. I can't recall much of him against us.

Disasi and Foyth were hardly anywhere near the top of our prospective RCB options for last 6-12 months.

Chelsea supporters would say Paolo Maldini wasn't good enough for them. Never listen to Chelsea supporters.

I've one in my family, then again you could be right 👍

Does the football knowledge run in the family? If so, ignore them, they haven’t a clue.

I know it hurts but eventually the pain will subside and Diego Carlos and his bucket of stats will eventually be in your rear view 👍

Do you think by then you’ll have worked out what those numbers mean in the corner of the telly when football’s on? They're the stats you’re dismissing and they’re  quite important, relatively speaking, as they use them to work out who gets however many points. If you work it out it will stop you from making the mistake of thinking that the team that concedes most goals actually wins.

I always thought football was a bit too complicated for someone barely literate who can’t tell the time.

You’re welcome.

Hope the Foyth thing is a red herring , saw £30m quoted ! That can't be right surely

What does that mean? We can't afford both? Or Fotyh is doing like the other guy and doesn't want to have competition for game time?

He's had his chance, twice. He's not coming here. We need a 10, for sure. But I just cannot see us signing Felix.

It means we don’t need both, presumably

Chelsea fans call him Disaster Disasi.

Villa fans called Savo Missalotovic while he was scoring more goals in his first season in England than Bergkamp and Cantona. Know-nothing football fans love trying to pretend they’re funny.

Did scoring more goals in that season mean he was a better player than Bergkamp and Cantona?

🤣

It could be a bit much for someone who can’t tell the time, but could you explain this to me?

Still waiting.

I understand your reluctance. You can’t explain it without snitching on yourself.

He was only on for a fairly short time yesterday, but I didn't think Malen looked like a wide player to be honest.  I don't know if he'd been instructed to, but he kept drifting inside and wasn't really offering Cash an option when he had the ball. 

Maybe he's more of a '10' and it's another wide player we need?

Thick as a Boxing Day turd, and homophobic. Edgy.

I’ve got six kids and am married to a woman. Not that you’d be able to work it out from that of course.

Still no answer? Illuminating. I think it may have dawned on him.

All that time* explaining a simple concept to him, and it turns out he just doesn’t understand words.

It’s about time* funding issues for remedial English were addressed.

*sorry bb, no offence intended. I’m sure many struggle with telling the time in the digital age.
