Stats 7,158 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 57 minutes ago, mkh said: Arsenal are close to reaching a verbal agreement with Sporting CP centre-forward Viktor Gyökeres (27), who wants to join the Gunners, according to L'Equipe. No brainer for me. I get that people have reservations but for me, he is a striker worth the risk for Arsenal. I think he will score for fun there. 10 minutes ago, mkh said: Antoine Semenyo has signed new long term deal at Bournemouth valid until June 2030! Crucial move for AFCB to keep one of the most wanted players on the market. Surprised at this. He must have been offered huge wage increase and I imagine a release clause, will be inevitable announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham Broadway 17,367 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 46 minutes ago, LAM09 said: I constantly keep hearing noise about their financial restraints, so I feel if not this summer, he'll be gone the next, whether the Geordies like it or not. An awful refereeing decision effectively gifted them CL as is. Whatever the reason, if he doesn't gel with the person picking the squad, he's a goner. If we were talking about an untouchable like Caicedo or James, we would be having a completely different convo. Yeah its all about perception/opinions. I see him as disrupter of defences with lightning speed of turn, but then 3 out of 4 ends with a low cross that is often misplaced 😅 but with the disruption defenders panic. Prob are better out there, but I dont go looking tbh. Bit like our scouts. LAM09 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,200 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 So, how I see things and the way we are buying players, especially attacking players but also the players we are being linked with and also certain players who are here now. The ilk of players we are seeing coming in, lets take Gittens and Joao Pedro as an example as a first, both are renowned for their work rate, not just on the ball but off it, and also they are players who will work like dogs to to get back and help the defensive side of the game. Here is my take on that, Maresca is looking to a box/shut off system where by these players like Pedro, Gittens, Neto, Delap all have serious pace so what I can see with Maressca and what he is trying to do is shut teams out and box them in when we don't have the ball, IE we create a line of four at the back, three mids and two wingers behind the ball, these players Gittens, Pedro, Neto, Palmer, Estavao (Not Delap as I'm talking the striker being the highest player) but us then winning the ball back fast and early and triggering a fast and killer breakout. This is one of the reasons and why I say it because the likes of Madueke and why he maybe sold is he doesn't do enough off the ball and my opinion this is what Maresca is pining for, these lighting quick players who get back, double up and create a trigger for an overload counter. Now there are players I haven't mentioned but I think you will get the gist of what I mean, he wants grafters, people who will get back and won't moan about it. The signing of Pedro is a smart one for me, Pedro can play comfortably as a 9, Nkunku can't, Nkunku is 10, Pedro offers way more as a 9 and this will take the burdon off Delap because we cannot expect 30 goals from him, great if he does but the lad will need help and whilst Pedro is only young he will help Delap and when we need to maybe change and rest Palmer we can do this with Pedro. Pedro is exactly the swiss army knife type player we need and he offers so much support and we must utilize him to aid the rest of Palmer, we cannot run him into the floor, we simply cannot. So for me,, sell Nkunku, sell Noni and sell Jacskon, fetch in another wide player but believe me it will be another dog of a worker as I can see a pattern with the signings and what Maresca is trying to do. I could be completely wrong, but just watching us play these last few weeks I'm seeing a pattern with the play and the players we are buying.

I've been his harshest critic mate and I think rightly so at times, he hasn't helped himself but at the same time I'm willing and can maybe see what he is trying to do by the way I have explained, I could be totally wrong but it's just my take. People say we have spent fortunes, but you know what? We have spent fortunes on shite, some have been good buys but a lot have been truly and utterly shite. We must go and get a keeper, it's absolutely absurd if we don't Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
