He's got them looking more solid/less chaotic but the style of football they play is diabolical. Time will tell if it's a temporary measure or if that's his style but we can only go by what we've seen so far and it's world's away from what Pep plays and like i said, more in tune with managers like McLeish and Moyes who he played under (incidentally he's got Moyes' ex assistant on his coaching staff). And they weren't great against us either, decent in the cup final but rubbish in both league games. kellzfresh and oldportblue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been pretty content with being a number 2 at a top club for years, I'm sure he'd jump at the chance to carry on doing such a gig.

Can't see us getting another keeper this summer, unless an opportunity presents itself with a decent free agent out there. Otherwise, the club would likely only make their move for next summer.

Hutcho 8,443 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Willy is a decent enough number 2 as he proved yesterday. The issue comes if he has to play long periods but to step in for a game or 2 it's not crazy. If we really need goalkeeper help them just chuck one of the loan army in and give them a go Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This whole narrative has come out of that fa cup final. If Pully doesn't get injured and we win that then they don't win that or the community shield and its just 8th place arsenal rather than this amazing arsenal everyone in the media goes on about.They were by far the worst team vs West ham on Saturday Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were by far the worst team vs West ham on Saturday It started when they played Liverpool at The Emirates when they did a lot worse than we did on Sunday but shithoused a win because Alison and VVD were in generous mood.

Hutcho 8,443 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Don't get me wrong other than the fact he's arsenal manager I have nothing against the guy and he may be a good manager having been through the pep school. But from what I have seen of arsenal they look a threat with auba, lack any midfield quality and are still somewhat shaky defensively. But thats pretty much the same as before. They've always been a threat in attack but their midfield was never good enough to dictate games and auba had to do a lot himself.

All about protecting the value. An established international footballer like Rüdiger would still command a good fee in non-COVID circumstances (guessing around 25-30M) so with two years left on his current deal it makes no sense to loan him out without a one-year extension. Otherwise his value will plummet next summer with only one year remaining in his current deal and the loaning club will surely not pay fair value anymore, even though they've already got the player since he still had 2 years left. Obviously the priority would be a straight sale but if there are no clubs with that kind of money right now, a loan is the only option.Same with Batshuayi a while back and Bakayoko now.

As for Barkley vs RLC, very confused. RLC has something our mid does not have, physicality. But he is not going to get that confidence back until he actually plays. So probably loan him this season and hope he gets his game back. I think talking about Reuben getting his game back is a very generous assessment. Reuben has quality and physical attributes but he has never, not even in youth football, turned those into consistently effective performances. His reputation, and his career to date, are both built on the promise of what he might be capable of doing, not on what he has done. What he has done amounts to more or less nothing. You seem to be prepared to keep waiting at the station but I don't think the train is coming. bigbluewillie and Muzchap 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
