Villarreal would be better off telling the truth. They do not care about violence towards women. They have no "commitment" to any meaningful values held by their fans: they will actively insult them given the chance.
They're just as bad as Arsenal were for entering into contract talks with him.

It's been so much fun watching Guardiola take a guy who's essentially Supercharged Beckham and just plugging him into different roles around the rest of the team – but this version of him where he'd float all over that right-hand side, safe with Silva/Fernandinho alongside, was special

Kevin De Bruyne's best three-game run at Manchester City:
- 2-0 vs Shakhtar (Sep 26 2017)
- 7-2 vs Stoke (Sep 30 2017)
- 1-0 vs Chelsea (Oct 14 2017)
His absolute peak of dropping into full-back to bait a press, before being the creator in the final third. Complete midfield displays, each of them.

The issue isn't that Arsenal don't have any quality attackers. It's that every wide attacker is stuck outside the box.
The wingers hold the width in Arteta's 3-2-5 creating space centrally for Ødegaard, Havertz and Rice. How are Martinelli or Sterling supposed to be dangerous from these positions?

If I was building a team from scratch, I'd want Abdukodir Khusanov as an early signing. Huge potential as an aggressive, Tottenham type CB and not necessarily one to build around – but the kind of player who raises the standards of intensity off the ball.
