Gabby Paulista

Saw that after having visited the Arsenal forum. 🙂

I didn't see him other than that video. Sorry to be negative, but I saw nothing special. You can see there why he gets many interceptions, but I could also see a guy who will cause us and team mates several heart attacks. Far from that reassuring feeling you get seeing Kos. Hesitant, looks like not the greatest at decision making, and I didn't see something special on the ball (as you'd expect from a Brazilian player). But that is very little to go by, admittedly.

Seemed to me like much of the youtube footage was taken from the games where he played as a fullback and not a centreback.

Gabriel left out of Villarreal squad to face Levante tomorrow night.

I think we should change his name to Keowncielny.

Does this guy prefer to play on the left or on the right in central defence, by the way? All I could find about him suggests that he's capable of covering for the fullbacks on both flanks.

Not exactly proof, but I checked Eurosport's lineups for the last five matches. They've set him up on the right side every time.

Looks like he can play either side but seems to like that slide pass out to the right back

He looks like he can put some muscle on his frame. Worried a bit about his first touch, I think it's a bit shaky. Upside seems there though, we'll see what Wenger can make out of him.

Gabby is not a good name for a guy.
He's a mystery to me as I've never seen him play a game live.

QuincyAbeyie

By the way he goes by Gabriel.. Since I'm guessing people will call him Paulista. When I ask friends who follow La Liga what they think of Paulista, they don't even know who I'm talking about.

Gabriel pronounced the Spanish way sounds fine.

Rex

You mean Gaabrizhej? 🙂

QuincyAbeyie

I'll probably just use the Norwegian way.

Klaus

Isn't that just the wrong way but faster?

Rex

😆
Ah, all them Norway jokes are coming back to me now.

lorddulaarsenal

Quincy are you a Norwaynder?

QuincyAbeyie

It's called Norweger.

What Norway jokes? People joke about us?!

lorddulaarsenal

Nah don't worry. Nobody jokes about your condition
