😂 yeh probably but would only be a max one year extension surely

Thank you

Arteta was nearly in mine but mainly because he was the manager and recency bias more than his playing ability

I mean feel that’s incredibly harsh on Ozil Ramsey and Walcott

Benayoun is a very rogue shout. Merino hasn’t played really yet at all. Same for sterling

@@ThomasJHunter I also like Eduardo and Vela.

Yeh they’re great players

not at all. I am just suggesting that Timber would play right back and white would start to play DM. Maybe because Timber is more athletic. Also because White is a better long range passer and probably slighter better defensively. White also played Midfield in the past.

May be that is a good idea

6th place…

Completely agree. Just sounded like Souness was bitter!

Happy to listen to a differing viewpoint. Why do you feel that wenger was lucky then?

@@ThomasJHunter all engagement is good engagement, I’m glad you can see that! precisely what souness said, wenger inherited a team who were title challenge ready, signed a few amazing Frenchmen and had a period of success. Steve Bruce could have won the prem with that Arsenal team. There’s a reason Arsenal were stuck in fourth for years and that was because arsene couldn’t rebuild and hence he was therefore very lucky to have inherited a team with an excellent spine which allowed to him to succeed with Henry ect Like him or hate him, souness knows football and management(with opposing success in application) and idk how you can call him a moron. It’s far too personal and far more disrespectful than anything souness said about wenger. He won the champions league 3 times as a player. The list of managers with better win rates in the premier league is quite extensive. I actually really like Arsene he comes across as a genuine person and a good man but he couldn’t tie someone like klopps shoes as a manager(who built a team from scratch and then rebuilt Liverpool again)

Whilst I understand what your saying regarding the team he inherited he still then rebuilt Arsenal to make the invincible team. Bergkamp was left over from before him but the rest of the team were players wenger brought in. Also surely you have to look at the financial constraints that took hold after the emirates? The fact prior to Ozil arsenals record deal was arshavin? Arsenal simply couldn’t compete financially and to continue to get top 4 on a shoe string is very impressive. Moron was a bit harsh. Souness is highly respected as player. But it seems these comments show a bit of ill will. Possibly from past experiences with each other but arsene is clearly still one of the all time great premier league managers imo.

Thanks

Thank you. Appreciate it 🙏🏻

I think he would be great there personally. Hes deceptively agile and good on the ball

@@ThomasJHunter if he plays there and succeeds, that would be amazing ! Just don’t think so. But who knows

maybe but surely calofori is LB long term?

Indeed. It will be interesting to see

Not trying to cause drama at all mate. Just seen a few people claiming it may be an issue down the road and had a thought of a new role that white could develop into long term. He definitely is good enough to play that role 🤷🏻‍♂️

Completely agree and I personally believe he is the better player than our other fullbacks. The idea is more the fact that he’s so versatile he can also plug other holes we may have. Especially with Jorginho and Partey leaving

@@ThomasJHunter I agree that White is probably more suited defensively against strong attacking teams vs Timber, but Timber is a better all-round player imo. He is a lot more comfortable on the ball and has the ability to glide past players or beat the press unlike White. Also the Dutchman is a much better overlapping player, more dangerous in the box with his shooting ability and he's a better passer/crosser than White. Timber can also comfortably slot in at LB, CB and midfield. If we played a 352, Timber could also be a wingback on either side. White is a lot more limited but he's defensively solid.

@@slyarsenal whilst i agree with the dribbling point i think Ben has a much better passing range.

@@ThomasJHunter Ben only has a better range when he's not running at pace into the ball. He can't keep the ball low with pace on crosses. He's good with cross-field passes when the ball is travelling slowly, and requires height to reach the intended player, but he's a poor crosser due to the faster pace of the overlapping delivery from Saka/Odegaard. Some might debate we're not a team that whips in cross after cross, but with the size of our players in the box, a better crosser would likely find them with more accuracy. White lacks crossing in fast and flat deliveries. This is where Timber is better because he hits the ball cleaner and thus why I believe he's a better overlapping player coupled with his ability to play with the ball at his feet.
