UCL R16 PSV v Arsenal Tues 4 March 8pm

Sicario2 - Tier 1 · 2025-03-06T09:59:59+00:00

Burnwinter you underestimate Cesc. For a 17 year old to come in from a foreign country and replace an Arsenal legend (Vieria) takes some doing.

Cesc was running rings around galacticos in the bernabu at 18. He also scored decisive penalties for Spain and was our youngest ever captain at 21. That doesn’t happen for no reason.

He def has something about him and if you watch him on tv as a pundit not many come close. Man is articulating the game in his second language putting some native pundits to shame.

He is a leader and his career to date shows you everything you need to know and as per our bet he will go to the top as a manager. Wouldn’t be surprised if he is our manager post Arteta.

Sicario2 - Tier 1 · 2025-03-06T10:04:49+00:00

Burnwinter Cesc is charismatic and very likeable so he will win hearts and minds of his players. And his career and football knowledge is second to none so he will get instant buy in.

Sicario2 - Tier 1 · 2025-03-06T10:05:55+00:00

Mirth he was a kid playing in a team of underachieves and punks like Eboue and Denislon. Cesc in our current team wouldn’t fade second half of any seasons.

Imagine hating on Henry leaving at the end of his career and defending the guy who went on strike as he neared his peak age.

daredevil · 2025-03-06T10:37:59+00:00

Just saw the highlights, Kvara already looks so good.

QuincyAbeyie · 2025-03-06T11:08:54+00:00

daredevil unfair for one team to have Dembele, Kvara, Doue and Barcola.

JazzG · 2025-03-06T11:16:25+00:00

QuincyAbeyie We'd kill just to have one of them

Mirth · 2025-03-06T13:47:44+00:00

Sicario2 - Tier 1 if you read the link, it also includes his time at Barcelona and Chelsea where he’d faded away in the 2nd half of the season

Claudius · 2025-03-06T14:30:09+00:00

LOL. Arsenal fans
Saka is better than any player at PSG.
What we need is one more top player like Ousmane or Kvara. We don’t need all 4 of these guys.

QuincyAbeyie · 2025-03-06T14:32:41+00:00

Claudius That sounds like exactly what Jazz was saying..? Unless you're just referring to Arsenal fans somewhere else.

Burnwinter · 2025-03-06T15:26:32+00:00

RowJimmy Don't get me wrong, Henry definitely knows his shit. I just don't think he's got the consistent, optimistic personality that draws others into battle to fight for him. He's brilliant, moody and critical, more the wizard or prophet rather than the king.

Burnwinter · 2025-03-06T15:29:14+00:00

Sicario2 - Tier 1 I'm pretty sure Cesc will falter and crack up if he ever gets his chance managing at a Champions League club and kicks on (I'm not sure that he will). It's happened to plenty of strong personalities. But then we've got that handy bet to settle this disagreement already ...

Could have taken Asensio.

GooneriC · 2025-03-06T18:14:44+00:00

Should have taken him , we were linked with him a lot in previous windows

QuincyAbeyie · 2025-03-06T18:28:48+00:00

Doing well at Aston Villa, but I really didn't like what I saw of him at the end of his RM spell.

Sicario2 - Tier 1 · 2025-03-06T19:22:26+00:00

QuincyAbeyie knowing what you know now based on his first 6 weeks at Villa would you have still not taken him? #quincystylequestion

Tam · 2025-03-06T20:35:45+00:00

Sicario2 - Tier 1 QuincyAbeyie knowing what you know now based on Sterling’s first few months at Arsenal would you still not have taken him?

QuincyAbeyie · 2025-03-06T21:30:45+00:00

Sicario2 - Tier 1 I would've taken him instead of signing nobody. I wouldn't have been excited by the signing.

QuincyAbeyie · 2025-03-06T21:31:00+00:00

Tam I would've taken him instead of Sterling. I wouldn't have been excited by the signing.
