This. Separate note. Pretty sure we (as fans) won't be the only ones fuming over the incompetence seen to bring in a striker we knew we needed 6 months ago. Nothing like leaving it to the last minute. Apparently Bill leaked the Costa story, probably to save face and show "we were "trying" to sign a good player but you'll have to make do with this massively over paid dross that was the only thing available at the time" signing. Moutinho MK2

And they are completely bullshit.

Seems like another pointless Everton 30+yo defender loanee . We've had a couple of shitters like this before, haven't we?

Good price imo.

Some other arsenal fans have mentioned this today.

Joined Celta Vigo.

Made a lasting impression did they Newts aha

Hate thinking like this but I do fear that this is the case.

Aha this.

I'm in the camp that doesn't believe he'd put 100% into any deal. No incentives to do so. He'll not want to risk his career (getting injured playing for us) at AM. If it were permanent, I'd think differently.

Haven't been overly sold on Koeman from the off but to want him gone already is ridiculous. Maybe he's just being cautious knowing our start? Once the tough games are out the way, he may deploy a much more attack minded approach to games but we won't know until he's gone a few months in.

Think we're missing something? https://twitter.com/beanoefcjones/status/902103546220437505 Would like to know the average SOT per game with Ross and Rom involved previously.

There's no way it would be a permanent move. Costa will believe he's better than us and there would be bigger suitors out there for his signature. The loan til Jan works for all parties though and much more viable than a permanent transfer.

Yeah, even under Martinez it was odd. Think he can still do a job. He's a much better option on the wings than some members of the squad.

Watched it last night . They've ballsed it up big time. It's too emo and ridiculously unlikable. Ryuk is the only positive for me, Defoe nails it.

Congrats Holy' hope you have a wonderful day pal.

Joined Bayern.

Wouldn't want Hoffenheim for any other reason than because "they" spanked them and can't be doing with the abuse we'll get if we struggle.

This. It was a quality strike. Saved 2 pens he's faced for us. How people are writing him off, I have no idea. Kept us in the comp imo.

Did alright again tonight. Some of his crosses are fantastic.

This for me.

Draw away. Win at home. Every game. That's my view. I have doubts about Koeman but yesterday he got tactics spot on. Of it wasn't for the ref, the outcome could have been different but that's all ifs and buts. A point at City is VERY good. How anyone can see the negatives in it, I have no idea!

But as many have pointed out before, play DCL in his natural position and you'll see what he can do. We all saw what has capable of up top. Well done dude for knuckling down and terrorising a £150m+ back line.
