He's still so young and really hasn't achieved that much yet, to be asking for that kind of money. Really strange. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Amadou Haidara's name has popped up again as a player we will be looking to sign. Was linked very heavily after the takeover and probably would have been signed in the summer had he not got injured towards the end of last season. Interestingly enough Brighton were looking to sign him in January as a replacement for Caicedo if he had left. And so that is a really good sign too.

Every time I’ve seen him he looks to be all over the pitch almost like Kante. Think if we are going to spend big I’d rather it be on a 6 but think he’d be a great fit as a Longstaff upgrade Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
