We shouldn't. I'm still sad, but thats how it is.
And Benatia deal is done. He is there tomorrow in Munich for the medical. Contract details: 5 years, 4 million net. a year. Good.

Good bit of business. Roma were looking to sell him for at least 40m so getting him at 26 + bonus is a great get.

Elite central defenders who are strong, fast, good in the air, and confident on the ball are pretty hard to come by. Very happy with the signing given that we could've cheaped out and gotten somebody worthless like Wollscheid or whoever.
 
Benatia himself said he asked for 3m Euros, didn't he?

He felt insulted that Roma didn't even offer him that.

That was according to one of the Italian papers I read.

Which, let's be completely honest, is a far more likely scenario than the ludicrous 8m a year claim. In fact, I never saw much about that quote again so I assume it's true and the agent told him to not talk about it anymore.

I guess Giroud getting injured is a blessing in disguise. Wenger will have to get a CF now.

In other news, I can't believe a Pokemon fighting game is coming out.

Funny to think, what could've been England's best ever midfield was not used because no manager (in nearly 15 years) would play a 433.
