As requested 😍
I love the romance 😂😂😂
@TheGoonerverse do you think he can play DM
Mikel really wants to concede 0 goals next year goddamn
The match against bayern still haunting him. He use all 3 lb option but still not good enough.
One thing about Calafiori that I LOVE is his aerial ability. His anticipation of the ball when it comes out of the air is elite
Great to hear. Haven't watched a single minute but it's Arteta, so we straight.
@@Mago_7 err, Lakonga, Vieria etc.
The move is absolutely perfect. A left footed LB/LCB who can defend brilliantly, dribble, pass and overlap which is exactly what we’re missing. I personally believe his comp is more of a Gvardiol
I believe u need to lay off the pipe...

Interesting take on Maldini from George, good take on him but only relevant for Maldini in his latter half of his career. As a younger player he was phenomenal over long distance sprints and had a fantastic engine as a fullback. Of course he would then move more into the centre as he got older and lost some athleticism but as George mentions was the best at the usage of his body is spot on.
I will never forget how a near retiring Maldini absolutely pocketed a young CR7 who had a massive speed advantage over him. He never got away from Maldini, he was too clever, so savvy, too experienced and used his body fantastically well to dominate CR7.
Maldini is the best defender I've seen in the near 35 years watching football.
Maldini was an okay cb. but the times have moved on, there are over 100 Cbs now that are better than him.
The Maldini-Baresi partnership was incredible. Top players.
Keep in mind baresi and Nesta. Maldini was covered by pure football defence genius
@@Rooler694 They were all quality players
In a nutshell, from my own analysis; Calafiori is bringing the ability to play in midfield as a defender from (LB/LCB) adding to our ability to progress the ball against an aggressive press, adding quality in ball progression thru midfield allowing us to push forward more players from midfielders into the final 3rd while keeping us secure defensively against a counter attack, because of his pace and tackling ability.
The fact he can occupy a lot of positions and be dynamic and securely comfortable with the ball, with very strong passing and chance creation qualities, means Rice can be deployed as the DM even though he’s still not that good progressing the ball vertically. That would mean we can buy in this window a world class LAM (no8) like Musiala to aide with the left sided duties similar to what Odegaard and Saka do on the right.
Significantly, Timber can do the same on the right, what Calafiori does on the left; carrying the ball into and thru midfield with consummate accuracy and authority. This will be determined by the opponents style on the day.
Last season Odegaard dropped in goals output because he came too deep to do what was supposed to be done by Rice; carrying the ball deep from the defenders and turning into a press, beating it and getting the ball out from the back thru midfield upfront into the final 3rd, too much work for one man but Odegaard did it game after game every time Rice played, because Rice is still pathetic at this key aspect, you saw the Euro group games so far, and the fact that all the points we dropped last season was when Rice played no6.
So Calafiori and Timber ability to invert into midfield and progress the ball upfield with quality will mean Odegaard can predominantly spend more time in the final 3rd where his ability on the ball will definitely hurt opposition like he did the previous season scoring 15 non penalty goals, add that to the possibly new left sided offensive no8 profile like Musiala.
Another key factor; a definite upgrade on Martinelli whose main weakness is failure to scan while on the ball! We lose a lot of quality when we play a low block because Martinelli is deadly running behind into spaces, less scanning needed as the decision is made once early. But a low block means tight control under pressure and Saka is king there because he plays with his eyes ⬆️ up all the time and is able to change decisions, direction, feints, and deliver a different pass or cross or take a shot as the permutations of opposition positional play allows. Not Martinelli! That’s why in the Brazil team they just bring him in later when the game is very open. That’s why Trossard eventually got more and more of the game time last season. It had nothing to do with Martinelli being poor, we faced more and more of games with a lot more deeper blocks; neutralizing his effectiveness for us. Trossard like Saka is comfortable in tight pressure situations because he is good with the ball and plays with his eyes up ⬆️ like Saka. So I definitely believe Nico Williams is a solid possibility for this reason; he’s faster than Trossard and then has everything Trossard has if not more; two footed, crosses/shoots both feet, devastating dribbling/takeons; plays with his eyes up ⬆️ like Saka and we need that on the left a lot! And he can cover Saka on the RW consummately.
Kai Havertz is UNTOUCHABLE @9🔥🔥🔥📈 he keeps everyone ♻️ devastating and cannot be marked out of the game like Halaand (who registered Zero shots against us 3 games in a row!)and doesn’t get involved with the team build up play often or with any effectiveness.
Trossard will play no9 backup, as the Nketiah upgrade inhouse and already polished and weaponised by Arteta technologies!
Martinelli will have games that suit him when we play CL or big teams that are arrogant and think to go toe to toe with us opening large spaces behind for the weapons of Martinelli to click into devastation.
Bring Calafiori, goal scoring offensive no8 and Nico Williams please. Either way, let’s trust Mikel Arteta. He’s proven everything and more!
Kudos and COYG! Looking forward to see the boys here in preseason 📈
Who asked you!!! 😂😂😂 Jokes 😂😂😂 Great analysis my guy, first time I have read a 'post' for a comment and agreed with 90%+ 👊🏾 COYG
'LAM' FFS 🤦🏻♂️ stick to fifa - there's not such thing
Top analysis dude
11 paragraphs of absolute nonsense from a plastic who's never been to an EPL game in his life who clearly plays too much FIFA 😅
I think your adderalls have been spiked with meth
George's dream of Timber in the midfield is flourishing
he isnt a midfielder.
@@Jay-bc7khyet
@@Jay-bc7khhe’s previously played in midfield
@@Jay-bc7kh
We all know that but it doesn’t mean he can in that John stones rule playing along side either rice or partey as a pivot
Please add the player's heatmap and their playstyle wheel (comparing it to an existing Arsenal player in a similar position). That would take these videos to full 💯. Great video!
I wonder why we aren’t looking at Kvaratskhelia?
That guy is the real deal and would fit amazingly in our team - perfect profile.
If Napoli have no will to sell, it's just going to cost too much.
Napoli are very difficult to deal with, we don't have time for their nonsense, Osimhen will eventually go on loan because Napoli want to make billions from him. Khv10 is not an Arteta profile.
@@ThePundit99 why isn’t he?
He is not gonna fix in arteta profile. He is a problem maker and egoistic
This timing is perfect. I was just thinking to myself 'I hope they do a scouting video on Calafiori'. Sensational.
Well done guys, I enjoyed the show
I hope we see the best of Martinelli with someone like Calafiori behind him.
Yes, we’ve missed Xhaka left foot pass down the line on that side
I think double fracture displacement of lower leg might be up there but dislocated knee is crazy. Pro players today are fortunate have access to the best of specialist surgeons and rehab experts
I think you should stick to Aussie Rules
Says the Australian "expert" and RUclips surgoen 😅
JFC, George. I was hyped, now I'm MEGA HYPED.
You guys are amazing I love the break down.lotsa love for Ricardo. repn Kenya🇰🇪
Tbh we have not seen enough of him in an arsenal shirt, plus how he comes back from the serious injury.
YES
Amazing
I’ve always thought a second Ben white on the left would be great. Could help Martineli explode
Hope he's quicker than Benny Blanco!!
I really hope we get him.
I think this is a brilliant signing. There's a spot in that left back spot for whoever wants it, not to mention the cover of that LCB role as well. Calafiori will be a world class player in both of those positions. 50 million price tag is very reasonable too. It'll look cheap in 3 years time. A backline of White, Saliba, Gabriel and Calafiori is going to dominate for years to come.
It's funny how he's 'perfect' and no one mentioned him before a link
Great show, points made are solid. This guy is going to complete our defense
The word "soccer" originated in England in the 1860s as a shortened version of "association football". Interesting. I prefer football as an American soccer coach. Irony.
You guys are making me excited 😍😍
We need to get a quality free kick specialist because we're going to be even more dangerous on set pieces this season I would love them sign Eze 😎😎😎😎
The option without Gabriel makes so much sense.....especially against the smallet teams. I think we'll see this a fair amount.
Timber at RB - inverting into double pivot, right of a diamond or holding the width allowing Saka to play inside
White - Saliba - Cali with White and Cali overlapping at times
I think we need a left 8 unless Kai or even Saka plays there at times.
Havertz or Saka as an 8 💀
Don’t ever cook again bro holy f
@@BeforeThisNovemberHavertz played left 8 a fair amount last season and Saka could easily play there, if we had an alternative RW
@@tomjenkins5602 and he sucked there. Saka is our RW.
Outstanding, well done lads
What are your views on using Zinchenko in a backup No. 6 role, especially if Partey leaves and we don't get Fofana or Merino? Apart from him playing there anyhow when he inverts, his defense (though dodgy in isolated 1-on-1 scenarios against wingers) is every bit as good as most DMFs, and his passing/reading of the game is excellent. Thoughts?
Not a priority signing for me but see who else we can bring in
What about a 5-4-1 with White RWB, Saliba RCB, Gabriel CB, Calafiori LCB, Timber RWB, Rice CDM, Saka RM, Martinelli LM, Martin as CAM, and then you put havertz or whoever we sign at CF
Lb. lcb. rcb. rb
Cala. Gabriel. Saliba. White
Zinni. Kiwior. Tomi. Timbs
Tell Rodri to come for a mentality challenge with Clafiori 😂😂😂😂
Thanx lads ,,hv yuh hearrrddd chiesa at 25m is a steal for any club
chiesa is finished. If Juve don’t even want to keep him that should tell you story
Please do your research on Calafiori aside’s from this season for Bologna in terms of getting passed by dribblers he’s statistically similar to Zinchenko not only in passing and possession but in aerial duels won go and check for yourself. Some things are too good to be true sometimes similar to Mudryk when a player overperforms and gets sold for a lot of money. Also has a similar muscular injury that looks repetitive. Check his injury history too
He's in the 95th percentile for Aerials won compared to CBs & missed two games this season. - Alex
@@TheCannonPod read the comment previous seasons at least the ones presented on Fbef that you read from. And the 95 percentile is for players in the Serie A. Of course not to say all the stuff he does is bad in any way but in the future as a suggestion look at if there are changes in his game I’ve the years in every small statistic. I’ve known watched Calafiori since he was at Roma and he’s just an okay with good potential but not great. The % of getting dribbled past is what you can judge a defender for cause it shows they have good anticipation, composure and decision making. Tackles in interceptions aren’t useful statistics if you don’t know how it’s being used.
You don't play in an Italian team at the euros if you are not a solid defender, Defence is Italy's strongest department. Califiori must be very good at his age.
@@ThePundit99 I never mentioned he wasn’t a solid defender I just said he’s okay. Plus if they were good defensively Italy would’ve used that to their advantage like the press was suggesting to Spaletti but was adamant on playing his own style and tactics. Also there’s a high chance that he might’ve not even play but did due to scalvini and Acerbi’s injuries during the training camp. Also also Maguire played a lot for England based on bias but he was still preferred over many better players and without him not were still very close to the final. Overall Calafiori would’ve gone to Juventus straight after the euros if it weren’t for the injuries of their choice CB, he’s a okay defender and not every nation in that tournament it’s best starting XI e.g. Saliba first starting international tournament and would’ve played a minimal part if it wasn’t for Konate’s influenza (except for the nations league)
The meltdown when the team sheet gets revealed on game week one will be glorious 😂
I can't wait😅 we dreamt of moments like this! We deserve this😂
And the meltdown on game 38 after you win nothing again for the 5th year running will be hilarious 😅

White, Tomiyasu, Zinchenko, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafliori and Kiwior is a lovely amount of defences options. Lets see who we part ways with out of Tomiyasu, Gabriel, Zinchenko and Kiwior🤔
Gabriel is going nowhere mate, neither is Tomi. Do you really need to ask that
Alex if we sign Califiori would you sell Gabriel if we got an offer of 80m
as a Mexican American in America if I call soccer football, I’ll be threatened especially by the Texans!!
Left back FC
I'm thinking he's a Gvardiol type project!?
Three days ago I didn't know who this guy was. And I like to think of myself as someone who pays attention. You guys sold me on him. Anyone whose super power is mental acuity always has a space in my team.
Who's you team?
That back three with a Rice and Timber double pivot is god-like.
Back THREE?!
We're not playing with a 'double pivot'. Never have done under Arteta, aren't going to start now.
@kunimitsune17 We've alsp never won a major totle with Arteta and that's not changing anytime soon
Could Timber be turned into a top class DM? Becoming the perfect replacement for Partay??
need you guys on spotify so i can listen at work😩
Would u say these coupla lads are working classes?
An Unpopular Opinion, Ben white will see more bench this year than anyone would have imagined. Timer will start at RB and Cali will go on the Left. The CBs remain thesame. We simply can’t just change the best CB paring in the world Last season. Remember this comment
Ben White in fact needs some rotation...like Saka he was overplayed last season, even sometimes with a knock.
11:38
A better way to describe him would be a more defensive minded Declan Rice that can underlap & overlap.
I think he'll be playing LB inverted into midfield alongside Rice with Timber and Odegaard ahead.
Sorry, where do you think Timber will play!?
@@danparsons1423On his XBox...
Any way Calafiori could play in the 6?
he is literall the left sided Ben White. Exactly what Arteta wants.
Cala-fyor-aye?
His right knee. Not his left knee.
Yeah apologies it was the right.
@@TheCannonPodcan he play DM
The signing is perfect, especially from a defensive perspective, I think tomiyasu will be playing RCB in quite a few games to give saliba rest, and also because of Calafioris LCB game Gabriel can rest some games too, the minutes will definitely be spread around while keeping high quality defenders
The only place tomiyasu is playing is the bench or the treatment table.
Can't wait for the Wharton one. We gotta get him
This position is the weakest in our team and arteta is plugging it. Smart move.
50 million for unproven rubbish...whats gonna happen to white timber saliba kiwor zinny gabriel tomiyasu
Great Video Guys... Now Viktor Gyokeres
Imagine back 3 of calafiori, Gabriel and saliba.. Nobody is passing through. Another golden glove for Raya on a silver platter
Timber got over the rehab worries with youth squad appearances and 2nd half vs wolves. He starts preseason training full bore no worries and with plenty of time in preseason he will be ready to rock
Kiwior Chiesa swap deal!
I don't understand the tomi is our best at duals comments. I feel like every single game he has some clumsy fall after getting beat by his man. He seems pretty uncoordinated for a professional athlete.
Im just gassed.Once this goes through. Im gonna smile massively.Been a while we went for a ''flavour of the the month'' player.But I only noticed him when we were looking at zirkzee & then just watched bologna based on Motta's style of play. I watch Cala ball out & I was like. He needs to be at the carpet.Wished it & here we are on his way. I think kiwior, Tierney will go. I think we keep zinny unless a great offer comes in. But I think we keep zinny has experience ,age, depth. The funny thing for me is. We are gonna get 1 more defender a right footed CB. Yes its the one we all want from sporting. But a CB is coming in. And our defense set is complete & full stacked.
You really need to try to get put more chavvie
We need a star forward and proper midfielder to improve on declan sideways and star boy. i am sure these mutants had no idea who calafiori was before euro

Wagwan with Timber?
What's a "wagwan"?
Thanks
We shld go for him buh personally I prefer sancho , sancho is a top talent en so gifted technically xo 40m wldnt be bad for a SANCHO
What does a Lb/Cb have to do with sancho?
if we do sign calafiori, what do y'all think about timber or white playing defensive midfielder with rice playing as a left 8 ?
It's an interesting idea but I am curious - because the CB>CDM shouts have always been said by fans over the years - has it ever actually happened and worked to a high level?
I think no.6 is the hardest position on the pitch and I think its a bit more complicated than just put a good ball playing CB there and they will play the position to an elite level (which is what we need)
Rice Jorginho Odegaars midfield unless we get another 8 then we’d move Rice back to 6.
No need to change anything too much. Timber/White in midfield is a waste
@@bengreenwood1734
Ben White has played defensive midfield for Brighton, so you can say it has kinda worked.
But with Timber I'm not so sure but i feel like he has some qualities to occupy it. just like Stones from City
@kabelokekana5558 stones didn't play 6, he was playing CB who moved into midfield. Completely different. Just like Zinchenko inverting into midfield is different to him permanently being our 6.
I just don't know of any examples at any club where the transition has worked to an elite level.
@@M0J0-RL236
it's not really changing much, just rotation and versatility plus jorginho does have much mobility

I don't think so. His press resistance is one of his best qualities and we need that in midfield. He isnt the best passer though. He does however make fantastic runs.
