Just really competitive and can get quite fiery, but not in a bad way. Fantastic footballer and dictates a game beautifully from that 6 position. Think he's absolutely class.

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Unless he's improved shit loads since he was playing for Arsenal its a solid no from me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 (edited) 7 hours ago, KaKa said: Why man? He is quality. Another we were very strongly linked with after the takeover, when Howe came in. Think he will end up at Villa though, as Emery was the one that signed him for Arsenal and apparently wants him again. I disagree, he was a player who was typical of the old Arsenal in that despite being technically good he has the heart of a pea and will disappear when it matters. Having followed him at Marseille I don’t see any improvement in that issue and think he’s a really bad fit for what we are going for. it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say there are 50 better options out there Edit: Also he’d be useless as a 6 against quality opponents. There’s a reason he plays as one of the front 3 in tougher games where he can run around more. Edited April 20, 2023 by Ace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manxst Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 8 hours ago, The Prophet said: Isn't he meant to be a bit of a cunt? Yep. Got exiled by Arteta for his attitude issues. Grabbed Maupay by the throat after having gobbed off all game about how much he (Maupay) earns compared to Arsenal players and that he’d never reach their wage. Blames others for shit games and never himself, including in training where he falls over in disgust at a misplaced pass etc. Fallen out with various Marseille players and every single manager he’s played for. he’s competitive when playing but a definite no in terms of character.

Dr.Spaceman Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Always thought it was a bit odd how he went from one of the greatest ever teenage sensations the league has ever seen (according to every commentator each time he played - "Wow, it's easy to forget he's only 19 LOLOLOL!!!!!1111") to almost immediately being dropped and banished forever. He must have done something to someone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its funny with Botman, everyone said he would give away a million fouls a game as you cant get away with that in the PL, but at the same time we say strikers cant handle the physicality of the PL when they get kicked to fuck in other leagues.

St1pe Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Linked with him in the past. Controversial but I’d rather him than Madison. It’d allow Bruno a more advanced role. A midfield if Joelinton, Neves and Bruno would be devastating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 I'm all for Bruno playing further forward, but if it's a choice between a DM and Bruno, or Bruno sitting deep and Maddison further forward, it's the latter every time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Tierney, Neves, Thuram/Diaby & Maddison for the first-team. Up and coming centre-back and forward to fill the squad out and aim to take the likes of Schar and Wilson's place in the side and bench within a year or two.

STM Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 I always presumed it would be: Quality ready made DM + Young exciting attacking mid. Or Young exciting DM + Quality ready made attacking mid. Probably spunk 40m one and 20m on the other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I want Tierney, I dont think hes tactically flexible which I think Howe will want, he cant really invert and cant play CB so we would be changing our system. I think we need an Ake type.
