Premier League 22/23

goon

Clrnc agreed. Gakpo looks average, never quite saw the big deal myself. He's also very unlike what a Klopp forward looks like. No intensity at all.

I almost didn't watch the game purely because I didn't wan't to see Mudryk. This one's going to hurt unfortunately. We're just lucky we have a few superb talents of our own, helps to soften to blow.

Qwiss

goon Gakpos intensity wasn't his issue today, it was his shooting. Looked like Nunez.

Qwiss

flobaba Agree there. Just found after that first good dribble he was making runs in space without much coming of it and people were acting like he'd taken over the game. Certainly has potential. How soon he'll start realising it is still a big question.

goon

Qwiss symptom of the poor intensity imo. He's good technically so if it's not showing it's because he's not able to play at his slower pace and is rushing things.

Gurgen

Qwiss He hasn’t played a competitive game since mid November

Claudius

Clrnc something I said before. Gakpo is a guy you use to get into the top 4. Mudryk is the bet you take to win things. Mudryk has abilities that Premier League defenders can’t keep up with.

Sounds like we had a cash flow issue on him. It’s just annoying that we have to deal with Abramovich again

Burnwinter

Loving how much the reports are taking glee in calling this a "mid table non event" and similar. Very satisfying.

I am Arsenal Till I Die

Go back to Brighton and give them another 50M for Mitoma.

Panda

I'm just glad we have Saka & Martinelli ❤

Coombs

Rice looking quite good. Running midfield easily with some excellent progressive passing.

QuincyAbeyie

Mitoma's price rising by the week.

Clrnc

Mitoma will cost 100m by the summer.

Literally the left sided Robben

Claudius

Would love him but no way Brighton give him away. This is why Trossard was expendable after his tantrum.I really don’t want to buy from Brighton again. We have a strong set up under Edu - we don’t have to outsource scouting to Brighton and Leicester.

Clrnc

Claudius Don't really care we buy from who, as long as they are quality and improves the team.

Everton is going down btw. Bet your house on it.

Claudius

Clrnc
If you hire lampard and stick with him, you deserve to go down.

My only issue with Brighton is that, like Leicester recently, they find the players we should and then add an insane markup once they’ve proven the players. They have so many players who arrive ready for Premier League, so it’s not like they’re being putting in tons of development.

Clrnc

Claudius It's clear their scouting department is something else, so just buy their department over. You save a lot more money by doing that.

Watching Rice closely, he really isn't worth the premium. Way too stiff and not much in his game. Completely dominated by Iwobi and Gana. 30m player at most, all hype

James

Clrnc It's clear their scouting department is something else, so just buy their department over. You save a lot more money by doing that.

Don’t know if anyone else went with him, but Dan Ashworth is at Newcastle now and he set them back £5m in compensation I believe.

Coombs

Clrnc Way too stiff and not much in his game.

Don't agree he was dominated at all, he was very comfortable all game. I do agree with this, though. He's just not very dynamic, and he's boring to watch. The setup he's playing in kind of asks for that, though. We've seen some impressive moments from him when he's actually allowed to carry the ball beyond the center circle.

Clrnc

Evan Ferguson looks interesting by the way, thought so when he came on and scored against us but today's header was brilliant.

Ireland finally got their Robbie Keane replacement

Qwiss

Clrnc Hope you are right. We have a decent bunch coming through in defence and goals, generally playing decent football these days despite our limited squad but really, really need a striker.

Claudius

I’m not worried about buying their department. We seem to be able to build a squad fine. Edu’s overhaul of the scouting department has been incredible - basically this is what we should’ve done when we first bought StatDNA.

Meatwad

god damnit, just seen that mudryk dribble and side netting chance. with 25% of the fee going to the war effort we really should have just matched their offer.

and the dribbling professor at brighton would have been a damn good consolation prize though.

Qwiss

Meatwad with 25% of the fee going to the war effort we really should have just matched their offer.

What difference does that make to Arsenal?
