BlueLyon 9,359 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Werent Marseille very close to signing him though? Maybe they know Marseille was outbid by Chelsea or sth...Still not to be trusted until some more reliable sources report it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

termninja 5,290 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I dont see him as a Mikel replacement but more of a Ramires. Still I havent watched him play so Ill stay silent, but I feel he is at the point in his career where it would be a great move to move to a big club, and we need midfielders so all boxes are ticked.

Unionjack 7,531 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 From the few games Ive watched him play and the YT's Ive watched etc theres no denying the lads got some skills about him.I just hope that hes allowed a proper chance to gel and assessed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukaz 19 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 He should be playing tomorrow at 22hrs Brazilian time for Copa Libertadores against Tigres. I think you have 4 hours difference, so just in case you want to see it or record the game to see him playing. I guess he should be a starter at least.

termninja 5,290 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 From the vids Ive seen hes everything Ramires should be. If he was to come here, he would flourish under Jose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldportblue 547 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Can any Chilean on here confirm that this is indeed basically a done deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukaz 19 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Can any Chilean on here confirm that this is indeed basically a done deal?nope, the last news about it was from 2 or 3 days ago and most of the info came from England, the local media just repeated the info.

chrismada9 1,948 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Question...Does the potential signing of this guy hinder the possibilities of signing Isco? I'd love to see someone like him sign as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I have seen he is quite agressive and strong for such small size, but can he add steel to our midfield? We were overpowered last season on many occasions.But PL is whole different beast, hopefuly he will handle the likes of Schneiderlin well. Plus he is so small, he wont win a single header...

Plus he is so small, he wont win a single header...smaller players have other ways to fight in the air, moving the opponent when they jump meesing they timing for a header, they don't need to clash with their oponents, if you see in the video of Aranguiz uploaded 3 or 4 post ago, he go usually from the side to get the ball. All this techniques are not exclusive of him, I just saying that exist a way to deal with everything. Smaller player usually have a low center of gravity, so they are not that easy to push when they are holding the ball, In fact he can create fouls in those situations (I'm not talking about diving) placing his body properly so he get fouls in those situationsother thing is when they are running. In the case of Aranguiz he doesn't carry the ball too much, he is more of passes so doesn't have issues with tackles against him. He move quick enough to avoid the fouls with bad intentions.

He move quick enough to avoid the fouls with bad intentions.Obviously some small players can jump quite high and/or have different tecnhique to get that air ball.I admit I havent seen Aranguiz but I checked his stats (something I rarely do with players, but Aranguiz is someone I only saw in few Copa games and WC last year, but I dont remember him much) and he has realy poor aerial duels stats on both squawka and whoscored. While its not something truly important, if he can battle for the balls in different ways, but our team aside from defence has only Matic who is capable to beat opponents in most air duels. Hazard, Cesc, Oscar, Willian just cant do it for obvious reasons, while even Costa is one of the players with worst jump I ever saw, considering his height and strength.And the only reason Im putting this is because in Mou system, the way we play in big games, parking the bus or however you call it, you need physical dominance in midfield to protect the defence or the opponent will break through sooner than later. From what I seen Aranguiz is Ramires replacement with better technique based on his copa games. How will he fare in Premier league if we sign is another thing. Unless he is some extraordinary player with top mentality and phyisique, he will likely struggle in PL. Moving for first time in life at age 26...I dunno.

He seems small, in fact Chile was the smaller team in Copa America but they were the most physical and intense team, so don't worry about that.
