One thing I know for sure is that this dude is a big presence in the midfield, and you can rely on him to give you goals from headers and late winners too
@@kb101ist Wish we could sign him, but I think he’s going to Barca unfortunately. He’s clearly close with Yamal too, so makes sense. Neto is who I think we’ll sign and he starts over him too.
Rice will be playing 8 throughout the season with either partey/jorginho as 6 and merino will play 6 if rice is in the team but can also play 8 as cover for rice
@@applenuts yeah think it’ll be more a double pivot similarly to what we saw with Jorginho and Rice. Merino and Rice will have the freedom to go forward or drop in at 6 for each other. Odegaard will have more of a free role this season
He would be very effective in the big games when the need for defensive solidity is crucial ...he also seems to have the sliding ruler pass behind the lines ...Martinelli thrived with those types of passes when Xhaka was in the team.
Is anyone else struggling to pick him out in any of these videos? He seems to have an amazing ability to be heavily involved in play but also be completely invisible
I'm from seeing a clip when he was at Newcastle...yeah, I'm also surprised he's been in the EPL and he was good. Arteta will dust this one off in ways you can't begin to imagine. I want rough midfielders who can pass...
@@homoerectus3355kid is right watch him cook this season ODEGGARD is already superior on the right with saka and Ben white. This dude with his range of passing and defending with an strong defender dehind him also Declan rice or partey arsenal I'd gonna cook believe me😮😮
@@homoerectus3355 I disagree with that I just think he fits arteta system well. Great box to box midfielder to have. martinelli can finally flourish with his range of passing. Another good defensive player as well
It's great that we have a new left hand side possibley of merino at the left 8 then calafiori or timber at lb it will really help martinelli who struggled last season without xhaka
The Spanish Granit Xhaka, with more Flair, more Techniques (he's Spaniard) & An Arial Monster In The Box...28 Years of Experience, Welcome To ArsenalFC
Looks good defensively and physically but with only 1 assist and mid passing highlights (ik doesnt mean everything) i doubt he replicates xhaka’s last season and im hesitant to believe if he will revive “the triangle” of zinchenko, gabi, and xhaka
Please add a player highlighter, or pause a moment before every clip. Its difficult to even spot the player, whether he is attacking or defending etc. Or you can group clips jersey wise or play-wise. Thanks.
@@gasarasifabian9814arsenal is just trailing behind Barca's transfer target LMAO. Hansi Flick has been eyeing this player way before Arsenal, who’s just FOMO-ing Euro
We don’t need him, we need a more of Modric type of midfielder that would support Odegard in Attacking and Rice or Partey in defending and that’s not him 🙅🏻♂️
You literally just explained why we need him he will be Xhaka replacement in that LCM spot Rice will be Holding mid long term although Partey will play some games as CDM too
Everyone who mentioned martinelli further supports why we don't need Merino. Whilst more skillful than xhaka his passing range and ability is not at xhakas level so he wont be helping martinelli, secondly we don't need a left sided 8 as we already have rice (and if we did want to get a left side 8 it would have to be an offensive player like olmo or eze) and finally why do we feel the need to accommodate martinelli who is terrible and has no ability whatsoever when we can buy proper skillful and technical winger like kudus eze bakayoko etc?
@@nikhilpanwar3126he trusted Zinchenko and Jesus 💁♂️ he can’t get it right all the time bro, this guy isn’t worth the hype and if we have rice we don’t need him, Arteta should focus more on our attacking strength in the midfield
his forward passing is excellent but he he cant stay on his feet in duels, his tall which is good for EPL but his stamina & balance is bad his recovery pace is not good too. i haven't seen much but i think we we should have gone for youssouf forfana, his strength, his forward carries and passes. height speed he was closest to partey. this guy is not good enough am sorry
As an Arsenal fan it's my duty to see the quality my team is getting and that's why I'm here .
And this is one quality player we missed for the left hand side to get the best out of our other star boy martinelli since xhaka ain’t here no more
You one of those Africans that think they support arsenal but you've never been on the same side of the planet as the stadium
wow the deal has been rumored for 4 weeks now....and everytime fab says the deal is "very close" 😂
@@user-pt1do2ss2p It's fucking done boiiis
@@user-pt1do2ss2p well, he is already on his way
One thing I know for sure is that this dude is a big presence in the midfield, and you can rely on him to give you goals from headers and late winners too
Why?
He doesn't seem to be scoring too many in these videos
Omg, Martinelli will actually flourish with Merino next season
Keep seeing this from Arsenal fans lol. The team will also flourish when we get a winger who doesn’t need special conditions to flourish
@@smellslikefreespirit i mean they're linked to nico williams, so nelli better buck up his ideas next season

When Mikel recognize Mikel
He intercepts the ball and looks for the forward pass immediately, pin point. If Arsenal sign ‘em he’ll be a great addition
He is already done ❤

Sounds like a proper team player then lol
Same with me, yes😁
Very good analysis
I can’t pick him out
I'm from seeing a clip when he was at Newcastle...yeah, I'm also surprised he's been in the EPL and he was good.
Arteta will dust this one off in ways you can't begin to imagine.
I want rough midfielders who can pass...
This guy is moving like he's mix of rodri, de jong and busquets... Very unique playstyle.. Suits arteta system perfectly
What the hell are you yapping about

@@smusic835 I don’t have a problem with the player just the comparison op made
The calmness, skills, composure and aggression in his game is one thing I fancy about him.
That’s not one thing, that’s four things but I absolutely love the way that he plays. UTA ❤️🤍
@@vilgotperwe5551😂😂😂 u just made my day..
I was struggling to find him on most plays lol, seems to be a guy who loves to break up play, reads the game so well.
Thanks so much for this Scoutinho pls do a full season show on Alex Baena 🙌♥️
Scoutinho! I love that!
wins so many duels arteta will never be upset ever again
I cant even tell who im supposed to watch in these clips 😅
Are you blind tf
He is a good passer an a good left foot 2 things i love about him...
Vamos Arsenal
Santi cazorla vibes🥳🔥👣COYG🙌🏼
Vision 98% ❤❤
Its a done deal..here we go!!!🎉
He is the invisible machine
Spanish Aaron Ramsey... for any arsenal fans that do remember
It's great that we have a new left hand side possibley of merino at the left 8 then calafiori or timber at lb it will really help martinelli who struggled last season without xhaka
that 8 role needs a balance of attack anf defense
why i understand arteta liking to him, nothing flashy but a balance
now thats a proper Xakha upgrade.
Can tackle and sees passing lanes...not bad
Dudes got some smooth tackling
Welcome to Arsenal ✈️🔥
He is literally a Xhaka with better mobility. Arsenal would be perfect with him in the team.
The Saka and Ben White crosses are gonna be cold next season he’s an aerial machine
Calafiori, merino, Williams or isak or Watkins. Dream transfer window.
Gyokeres
Giving me Edu vibes 🔥
Exactly what I was saying the other day to my mate
arteta knew
The Spanish Granit Xhaka, with more Flair, more Techniques (he's Spaniard) & An Arial Monster In The Box...28 Years of Experience, Welcome To ArsenalFC
The amount of duel he win. Insane
Great signing! COYG!
Great video👍
Mikel Merino would be an asset for AFC
He plays like xhaka
Yes
Poor mans left footed Declan rice. I love it! COYG
This is Mikel's attempt at finding a "Rodri-esque" type profile in midfield.
legend, brazinho can you please make brais mendez next ? i want to know more about the players’ style😢 no one on youtube made a recent one
Very clever player
Looks good defensively and physically but with only 1 assist and mid passing highlights (ik doesnt mean everything) i doubt he replicates xhaka’s last season and im hesitant to believe if he will revive “the triangle” of zinchenko, gabi, and xhaka
Would prefer Dani olmo at Arsenal
True! The boy is a baller for real
Buy him from barca
Please add a player highlighter, or pause a moment before every clip. Its difficult to even spot the player, whether he is attacking or defending etc. Or you can group clips jersey wise or play-wise. Thanks.
Song pls?
Arsenal or Barca?
Bro barca cant afford buy player before selling their player.
🔴⚪️
Barsenal
Already flopped in prem
@@falsemanager654lol for Newcastle...isn't hard to flop there
If Arsenal get this guy im not sure how you stop them this season, especially in the midfield area
bro looks like arteta on the pitch lol!! kinda plays like him too
Perfect for the Premier League tbh
He played already in the EPL it won't be his 1st time
I'm not sure about him ....time will tell
4:49
Next move should be olmo or kudus to give competition to saka and odegaard.
Do gundogan bro
Has ball sense though
dont even got any idea the way he play , just see later when he play at emirates😅
experience, prime age, cheap great tutor for nwaneri.
Angel Gomes please...
Instrumental?
George Ilenikhena
Next please
Mikel oyarzabal please
Martinelli top scorer or joint top scorer incoming
Only thing am seeing is he is good defending d midfield
Marcus Rashford 🤝🐐
Man Arteta and Arsenal always after the same players that Barcelona want to sign. 😅😅😅
xhaka upgrade?
Palninha of Fulham 30 years old went to Bayern for £50m straight up cash. Merino is 10 times better and costing Arsenal £17m
this guy may help but why not go for a good world class no 9 doubling his price?
Welcome To Barca❤️💙
Jokes on u he's a North london bruv 😂😂😂
@@gasarasifabian9814arsenal is just trailing behind Barca's transfer target LMAO. Hansi Flick has been eyeing this player way before Arsenal, who’s just FOMO-ing Euro
but i thought Arsenal needed box to box that can carry the ball forward? why would they bring another DM? poor Ø will have to carry bums in midfield
I don't know y left footers are always like this
Is he a CDM?
Please come Arsenal
速来
Arsenal need a striker... so they look to buy a midfielder, so Arsenal.
Welcome Atlético de Madrid
He will bring out the best in Rice that’s the hidden Truth 😊
Giving rice loads of freedom with completely change the team
We saw that last season when partey was fit!
We don’t need him, we need a more of Modric type of midfielder that would support Odegard in Attacking and Rice or Partey in defending and that’s not him 🙅🏻♂️
Sell rice for 40m buy this guy for 30m, quids in
Lmao
Welcome to Arsenal!
Bit like xhaka but not what we need at Arsenal
I think we did. We needed a left footer to help Martinelli as xhaka did. And to help Rice in the middle so that he's relieved off the ball
You literally just explained why we need him he will be Xhaka replacement in that LCM spot Rice will be Holding mid long term although Partey will play some games as CDM too
He’s exactly what we need at arsenal. A left footed creative LCM. Martinelli will love this guy
He seems sluggish, really low reaction time, we need players in that position who are more dynamic. He would not add anything different
Everyone who mentioned martinelli further supports why we don't need Merino. Whilst more skillful than xhaka his passing range and ability is not at xhakas level so he wont be helping martinelli, secondly we don't need a left sided 8 as we already have rice (and if we did want to get a left side 8 it would have to be an offensive player like olmo or eze) and finally why do we feel the need to accommodate martinelli who is terrible and has no ability whatsoever when we can buy proper skillful and technical winger like kudus eze bakayoko etc?
I really don't get the hype. I would not sign this player as Arsenal
I kinda agree but if gaffer trusts him then I am all in. COYG
I agree
@@nikhilpanwar3126he trusted Zinchenko and Jesus 💁♂️ he can’t get it right all the time bro, this guy isn’t worth the hype and if we have rice we don’t need him, Arteta should focus more on our attacking strength in the midfield
Preety slow for premier league.
Same speed as xhaka and Casemiro lol
goes to ground too much
If we wanna compete with city again next year we need better than this
So confusing to watch
Sometimes he’s attacking and sometimes defending
You’ve just described a midfielder😂
What??😂
@@luyolojele8206😂😂😂😂👌🏽

I agree. I'm not excited about this signing at all. I hope we sign a striker at least.
Is he really all that tho?
WTF
partey will play at six, merino at 8. where will declan sideways play then??? send him back to westham
He is invisible
Slow, this is the problem
Don't want him
Plz baris alper yilmaz
Medio tronco
28 …too old
Average player
Trông ko hay lắm
He is not that good
Very slowly
Base on this click, this guy no be upgrade to Wetin Arsenal get already!! 👎👎👎
Fabian Ruiz is a better player and younger
Younger???😂😂😂
