Is that Jamal Blackman on the right? Is he still with us? Isn't he like 40 already or smth.

Pace to get away from defenders would be a good start.

Personally I wouldn't want Giroud even as 2nd choice. 3rd choice okay for plan B,C(lump the ball!), but ideally our first two choices would be of similar characteristics, so we wouldn't need to change our approach drastically when one can't play. Giroud simply doesn't fit the style we're playing.

I also don't think there is much chance that she is doing the identifying... her workload would be insane if that were the case. I think it's more likely that the head scout submits a list of recommendations to the board, put together with the head coach. Now Cech will most likely be in charge of that.

Thought his shooting was dangerous too, had great power and could cut in to his left.

Preach! Your best post in my eyes. I will not blame Frank for anything this season (unless he literally comes to training naked and foaming from mouth), enough blaming the managers, everybody will lose their shit with a toxic criminal mob incompetently running the workplace. I'd rather try this with RLC than Mount. He is strong enough to offer a long hold-up option, quick enough to make runs in behind and good enough technically to create for others and himself.

Lampard is getting bent by us not having a proper striker. Giroud, Tammy and Bats are just horrible choices for any top 6 team, let alone one that is going to play Champions League. With a striker, we'd probably have won against Liverpool and got 3 points against Leicester. The team can create all they want, but if there is nobody to put shots away, it won't matter. If Tammy doesn't come good big time this season (and I doubt he will), our upmost priority has to be a striker.

There are also other things that you can't really compare to football. Like for example a basketball game lasts only 40 minutes; you can make unlimited subs and no one plays a full game; you have a break between each quarter and many timeouts; requires less running. Also imo playing with feet and head is much more draining physically than with hands. When I played basketball I could easily last full games (with subs of course), but I'd probably die in a full football game.

Cba to watch the whole thing. What minute is his goal?

Lamps probably isn't eager to keep an unhappy player and would rather invest more energy into Tomori, who definitely isn't going on loan now if this happens. On one side it's lol that arsenal are looking at Luiz to strengthen their defence, but the sad part is that he actually would, he is better than anything they've got. I was pissed when I first read about this, but thinking about it we will have plenty of options - Rüdiger, Zouma, AC, Tomori, Reece. All have sick potential, everybody will need to compete and no-one will feel entitled to an automatic starting place (bar maybe Rüdiger, but he will have to fight for it like everybody else after the injury). Luiz is past it and a defensive liability. His passing is not a necessity, most teams don't have anybody nearly as good as him in that regard, this can be worked around with different approaches. Personally I would like to see now Rüdiger Christensen partnership, who complement each other quite well, have nose for defending and are comfortable on the ball. Zouma is crude on the ball and Tomori inexperienced, I don't think as a whole package they are better than those two. I'm really hoping to see AC now grab this chance and take that leap forward in his career, would justifiably reward his patience.

"doubts about his desire to move to OT, the player’s wage demands & exorbitant agents’ fees." That's rich coming from United

What, seriously? Just his basic wage?

A contract is a contract. The club is to blame.

Not to arsenal tho [emoji848] Sent from my Mi A1 using Tapatalk

Why?

I have a feeling people on here differ in opinion on what a pub team is. Anyway, I've seen enough pre-seasons to know not to give a shit about them. Seldomly it translates to the actual season, where motivations and tactics are different.

I would love to hear at least once what the fuck the players who commit blatant fouls complain about all the time. Very rarely do I see somebody accepting that they fucked up (Kante being one), most times they have this shocked look on "it wasn't me!"

Ronaldo also was accused and acquitted. I just can't see them being rapists, why would they be unless they're psychos or incels? Which I very much doubt they are. They can get any women they want, why risk it all to forcefully fuck someone who doesn't want it when millions of others do? I smell opportunism in such cases, seriously undermining real victims while doing that.

Agreed, and I think even 16th is flattering. The only one with 0 trophies and no serious career highlights, the least experienced of the lot. Isn't ranked bottom last probably only because of his reputation, I am pretty sure some randomer who appeared out of nowhere and did the same with Derby would be put last without hesitation.

Not a single hit googling those quotes. Where did you find them and how did you verify the legitimacy of those quotes if I may ask?

I don't know if I'm finally reaching the acceptance stage, but I'm now actually more excited to see how we'll play without him. For 6 years we were bordering on being a one man team and often it showed on the pitch, but now there will be no go-to guy. Like Frankie explained, the collective must compensate for that loss. I'm expecting to see great improvement in teamwork and cohesion.

So it was a joke then. Good to see he is able to take the piss out of himself.

Wonder if it was a tongue in cheek comment. Actually doesn't matter, get rid!

Any fact checking done on that quote? Sounds fake like most photoshopped pictures with quotes circling social media are.

Probably because nobody has shown interest in buying him.
