James I've never seen him play (apparently I have because he played all the games at the WC) but now that he's coming to Arsenal I can confirm he's better than Maldini.
Clrnc Just based on this video - which admittedly means fuck all - he doesn't look like a DM for our style of play
Mirth let's try again.
Him against the best Winger in the world currently.
He actually reminds me of Pablo Mari for some reason
Big Gabi backup. Appreciate that.
James Youtube tells me he looks like a left footed hybrid between Cannavaro and Ben White.
hmm, don't see it myself
What is going on here?! I've been away for 2 days and we've signed 2 players 😱
Never heard of this guy. Hope he's good and able to show it too in what may be limited minutes.
Oh another CB, every window a new CB 😂
Yea, getting strong LB-in-the-mold-of-Ben-White vibes.
Don Pacifico you didn't watch the WC? 😜
Clrnc Poland and Sweden are the last teams to watch imo, they turn everything into a borefest. Did watch Poland against Argentina, that's about it.
Clrnc Not really tbh. Not sure what it was as everything I read about the tournament (football specifically) sounded like it was great but I didn't ever get into it. I barely watched any of it.
Guardiola: I'd like my team to be a thousand midfielders.
Arteta: Si, pero tengo unas pequeñas modificaciones ... [uses a little broom to pull Pep's 1,000 Subbuteo figures into the defensive third]
Saka isn't in that video.
And yeah he looks a bit like Mari
If Dortmund wants him, he must be good.
Against our top target striker Vlahovic.
Really like all the targets we have these days since we sacked our scouts and went analytical style like Brentford. Gone are the days even one signing is hard to come by under Wenger and depends on his eyes and contacts
Clrnc He doesn't look fantastic in the air from the clips i've seen. Looks very assured on the ball though.
Someone on Twitter claiming that Chelsea were in for him before they signed Badiashile.
Between Tierney and Holding, I have to imagine Tierney will move on as he’ll command a decent fee.
There’s a great player in Tierney and a solid teammate, just doesn’t work with Arteta’s demands.
James With the frame hopefully it should just be a question of coaching him. No reason why he shouldn't be a monster in the air.
