[@briansmith975]

@Pythagorasin it’s very difficult to see Arsenal buying a player without nearly enough skills and awarenesses

[@yo_seb5195]

This guy would fit perfectly in a double pivot role next to FDJ. Onana is obviously more of a defensive CDM rather than someone who dictates the game, but that’s exactly what De Jong is at Barca. While Onana focuses more on stopping counters and winning the ball back, De Jong would be more of a deep lying playmaker and our outlet when we transition into an attack. They would compliment each other perfectly imo.

[@apollo-9725]

Christensen > Onana

[@aritraghosh8986]

@@apollo-9725 bro de jong is not a deep lying playmaker he is more of a ball carrier. pedri and gundogan are better deep line playmakers than him . To pair with de jong we need someone who looks to set the tempo of the game someone like lobotka, kimmich , bennacer , zubimendi or wieffer.

[@kashellz8228]

Best scouting analysis on KZbin. This isn’t the type of player Arsenal need, we need a player that can act as a foil for Rice and can also replace him defensively when he’s not available. Zubimendi/De Jong/Vermeeren comes to mind. Arsenal run the risk of having a midfield with little build up phase progression if they misprofile another slot in their midfield

[@GNORMIN]

Maybe rice can play as a CM if we move onana into a 6 role? That would free up odegaard to basically go into free roam or play as a CAM , thus diversifying our attack. Just my two cents pseudo analysis as a fan.

[@haraldurbjornsson3598]

I don't get why we shouldn't go for him. We need another beast in midfield

[@lugebeatzz8747]

Midfield is supposed to control games Onana and Rice win Duels... Arsenal will struggle to affect games with the ball

[@throwsticks66]

Partey was on all of these rankings, he's injured. I have no clue when he'll be back, but it would be interesting to see him, declan and ode in the midfield.

[@ImChandu777]

DE JONG???😂🤣🤣 WHY THE F*CK WOULD HE COME TO ARSENAL BRUH?😭

[@ln5747]

Partey's forward passing stats are amazing and somewhat surprising. Greatly missed and one of the reasons Arsenal are scoring less.

[@PythagorasinBoots]

[@MikeTHEBOSS]

[@anwarariffin4998]

i don't think it's surprising for us arsenal fans, he literally the cdm with most verticality in the squad

[@briansmith975]

Sorry that’s inaccurate! Arsenal have just broken their record for goal scoring @in5747

[@pointman345]

Definitely agree that Liverpool feels like a much better fit than Arsenal, though I'd imagine Everton would be reluctant to sell to Liverpool. I'm also very interested to watch the Belgium midfield over the next few years. Onana, KDB, and Lavia seem like they could complement each other very well if they can stay healthy.

[@askaakra99]

would be good in liverpool, if we get amorim he would be a beast in the double pivot

[@IM-yu8tw]

Could you do jean claire todibo? I know you guy are focusing on transfers. Or maybe Dragusin?

The analysis provided on this channel is elite. Informative whilst being able to provide your educated opinion is what I love most👏🏽 Feel like Zubimendi is what Arsenal should prioritise over Onana given Rice’s strengths and what we would lose with Partey & Jorginho potentially leaving in the summer

[@treacheroustiger5571]

Onana can fill the Thomas Party shaped gap Arsenal have been missing. Very impressive transition player.

[@weezyjeezy1234]

Do Rodrygo next please bro. Quite an interesting one as he’s now playing on his favoured left flank in vini’s absence, and is arguably in the form of his life

[@KidCudi72]

We don't care about Real Madrid.

[@kamto15]

I'm late to this vid but having listened to you explain his strengths and weaknesses, I think if Onana was to make a move then Man Utd would be the best fit. Especially now that Kobbie Mainoo has burst onto the scene. Onana's duelling can give Mainoo the platform to be more involved in the buildup/playmaking side of the team, and there'd be less pressure on Onana to be the main player in buildup initially. The two of them could rotate in and out of the build up phase and even in situations of who goes forward, depending upon the game state.

[@mohamadfadel7665]

I think he's similiar with Casemiro in terms of playstyle. A physical player who doesn't afraid to engage duels but could offer more than Casemiro in possession. But I believe he's still too quick to move to big clubs like Liverpool or Arsenal. Would love to see him move to UEL or UECL level clubs like Brighton or West Ham

[@cybermanne]

I think Onana could be just what United need. At least if we're gonna persist with the single pivot. Kobbie Mainoo can do it at times, but I'm not sure he's physical enough to do it against a team that are favoured to win the ball back a lot thru the center of the pitch with Eriksen (or Mount) and Bruno in the 8/10 positions. Having the choice between Mainoo and Onana depending on who we face could be really nice. And also Mainoo could be given more opportunities in the #8 and maybe develop his creativity higher up the pitch. When we would need to see out a game playing a double pivot with Onana and Mainoo sounds nice.

You could already see Onana got some talent when he played in Zweite Bundesliga for Hamburger SV. It wasnt a big surprise that he quickly moved on for 2 digit million fee to a bigger site. But IMO he wont be a "world class dm/cm". He is for sure a good Premier League Player but not more not less.

[@franco9685]

onana would be cover next season as zubimendi is the number one choice for arsenal in midfield

[@mpitsikletiuser6081]

pythagoras, do you have any good idea of why, nowadays, we see a lot of players with extremely bizarre qualities, related to the position and the role they play? i was putting the blame on their coaches but it's so annoying seeing so many times, for example a winger who is explosive but can't dribble or only able in big spaces, with no ability to cross , who can't finish, play in a team that progresses the ball slowly. This kid Onana, watching his limitation regarding his technique, how many roles could a coach fit him into? a CM like Marchisio, a box2box like Vidal or an defensive midfielder like Makelele. He has those wonderful passes but he is 100% unable to play any of the 3 roles mentioned before. The distribution of qualities is so bizarre. You can see that with wide defenders too. Can't cross, can't defend properly and even wingerlike (see Tsimikas) who begin from that deep the best they put in a pitch is a good combination, a 1-2. It's frustrating. Why are we seeing players like that a lot?
