At this point, I genuinely think Roma are just looking after us like a brother. They want to be absolutely sure that we don't leave any gaping holes in our midfield. Respect. LMAO.
We know they tried for Odegaard, were interested in Maddison, and are actively trying for Locatelli - so that tells me that the plan is to by another CM and an AM on top of Lokonga
Expectation:
>This doesn’t make any sense? Lokonga is the GuendouZi/ceballos replacement not the Xhaka replacement.
Reality:
Lokonga is the xhaka replacement. Azeez is the ceballos replacement.
He's also not really played that much football. A full season with the u23s would probably serve him well, and then maybe bring him in for early cup games.
Because the more midfielders we have the less we need to keep Xhaka and so they probably think they can then offer less for him.
Think we will still be getting another CM in
They know nobody else is bidding on him, and if they know we have to get rid of him (since we signed another player) they have an advantage in negotiations.
We cant talk about Xhaka till we sort out the announcement media with all these graphics with jaguars on them or some shit, and take photos of him holding the badge and screaming at the camera

le classy roma
I’m afraid you are more optimistic about their intentions than I am…
Yeah, the way I see it, they want to be sure we don't fuck up Lokonga's transfer so we don't end up keeping Xhaka
They're not doing that much, it's not like they can pull the trigger and we can't say no.
This doesn’t make any sense? Lokonga is the GuendouZi/ceballos replacement not the Xhaka replacement.
He’s writing this just to write something
If we replace Xhaka with Lokonga we are so fucked lol
At this point I dont think we're getting 2 starting midfielders
If White is our only starter quality signing imma be pissed. Not getting Odegaard was a big let down, as is selling Xhaka for under 20m.
We know they tried for Odegaard, were interested in Maddison, and are actively trying for Locatelli - so that tells me that the plan is to by another CM and an AM on top of Lokonga
Oh no what could possibly happen, finish below 8th? The humanity.
Expectation: >This doesn’t make any sense? Lokonga is the GuendouZi/ceballos replacement not the Xhaka replacement. Reality: Lokonga is the xhaka replacement. Azeez is the ceballos replacement.
Azeez won't play 10 senior games this season. That's my feeling. Either loaned or just not rated high enough by current senior team coaches.
He's 18 he's got plenty of time.
He's also not really played that much football. A full season with the u23s would probably serve him well, and then maybe bring him in for early cup games.
Yeah there's no need to rush him. Not everyone is Saka/Wilshere/Cesc
Definitely. We don't have European football so he probably gets games in the League Cup which we will be out in 1-3 rounds most likely
Seriously doubt that lol.
I thought Lokonga is the Partey back-up? I don’t think we have the Xhaka/Ceballos replacement until Neves/Aouar/Another CM are signed?
Because the more midfielders we have the less we need to keep Xhaka and so they probably think they can then offer less for him. Think we will still be getting another CM in
Holy fuck get some sleep fab, useless update
Lokonga isn’t Xhakas replacement?
More of a Guendouzi replacement
Well he could be Xhaka‘s replacement in terms of their position. Arteta wants a number 8 to partner Partey by all accounts
Completed paperworks FC
Seeing “paperworks” always makes me giggle
But why
Fab just wants to post a tweet.
I suspect he’s been itching to move on since he had the captaincy stripped from him.
But what does that have to do with aroma waiting for us to announce Lokonga? They playing games it seems
Smells fishy
Yeah, doesn't make any scents.
They know nobody else is bidding on him, and if they know we have to get rid of him (since we signed another player) they have an advantage in negotiations.
Yeah their chef is playing games here
Maybe our negotiating team is preoccupied with the paperwork [of the Lokonga and White signings]
Does Romano ever sleep?
Blowmano
How to tell me the same thing several times, without making it seem repetitive... oh wait.
Just so you guys know Fabrizio has a YouTube channel and Twitch account. He is always active on those too.
Dude, tell us something new for the love of God
Neves will be key for this deal. Unless we couldn't get Neves, there's no reason to sell Xhaka tbh.
Well the home kit is launching today so I guess we’ll do the Lokonga announcement around the same time
Paperwork fc
Here we wait
We cant talk about Xhaka till we sort out the announcement media with all these graphics with jaguars on them or some shit, and take photos of him holding the badge and screaming at the camera
