Sorry, but I have to call it out. I remember when we won the CL in 2021 and everyone was saying "and we're just getting started"... Football changes quick. Salah and VVD are crucial and they aren't getting any younger. Despite how Diaz was rated, I think he added a lot to their team. On the other end, I don't think Wirtz is the top, top, top talent everyone makes him out to be. whats happening 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's literally no competition for that place which was imo Arsenal's biggest weakness. Martinelli and Trossard are jokes. Now I don't see any weak areas in Arsenal starting 11. Eze thrives playing centrally. Something that would have been a cert at Tottenham especially with Maddison's absence. 9 hours ago, Pizy said: Curious if Eze is as effective out of that #10 area. I feel the answer will be no. He'll be far easier to read as well. Edited Thursday at 09:53 by LAM09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it would be similar to us buying Xavi Simons and playing him on the LW. Yes, they can play out there but they’re more influential and effective centrally.

mkh 600 Posted Thursday at 10:49 Share Posted Thursday at 10:49 Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca on Aaron Anselmino: “He is a fantastic boy. Good player, but he needs to go and play games. He is another player waiting for a solution” (@BobbyVincentFL) Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,952 Posted Thursday at 10:59 Share Posted Thursday at 10:59 Dortmund would be a crazy good development spot for Anselmino if he actually plays. But at a club like that we risk him sitting on the bench all season not playing if he doesn’t look great straight away Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they have thew mentality to both step to the challenge and adapt to new club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see how the loan works with Strasbourg as we've already loaned them Penders and Paez. It doesn’t. Sarr is also on loan. 3 players is max.

We have literally won more trophies than them in our down period than they have in their brightest moment in 25 years. We don’t win our first game, against a team that’s beaten Liverpool and City - and this nonsense starts coming out again. Arsenal got battered around by Man United and got lucky to walk away with a win. Don't think we have bridged the gap to Arsenal. They are closer to forming a league-winning team than we are. Signing players like Zubimendi, Eze shows they are a serious tactical project and Arteta is obsessed with building a team that has solutions to break down low-blocks. As much as Maresca has found a way to play now, we don't have the same obsession as Arsenal if we are competing for Gittens/Garnacho in the same area of the pitch where Arsenal have signed Eze.

Now didn't like what Enzo said... He is so fragile and not only in his knees... To be fair the first situation you mentioned was pretty bad not only Fofana most of our black French players were unhappy with Enzo because of his participation in those celebrations. This is a separate issue unhappy with your manager so you go to social media definitely shows a lack of character. As a professional footballer you should be able to take constructive criticism especially if what being said is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duppy Conqueror 1,543 Posted Thursday at 14:48 Share Posted Thursday at 14:48 (edited) I'm not Maresca's biggest fan but whilst being somewhat impeded by our clubs policy of youth above everything else and Arsenal supposedly doing everything for Arteta to succeed,Enzo has won more in 1 season than Arteta has won in 6.

Pizy 18,952 Posted Thursday at 16:12 Share Posted Thursday at 16:12 It’s only Miguel Delaney I’ve seen report it and he gets more wrong than right, but he says Spuds will now turn to Morgan Rogers as the alternative to Eze. Would really suck to see a player I really like going there of all places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have kept the powder dry for a Rogers bid - Will cost Gittens + Garnacho money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
