"He's basically a left-footed Ben White" - Not good enough for Brighton and has won nothing It's hilarious to see Arteta signing more defenders to replace his previous disaster defenders who like all of his 27 signings have won nothing under him. Priceless..
He’s brilliant, we watch Serie A as well as I’m half italian and never did I think Arsenal would end up signing him. He may end up being the best defender we have in a couple years THAT’S how good he is!
we need clincal attacking finishers, and players who can break through a low block, etc. A Lb alone isn't going to make us win especially with havertz, jorginho or partey, we need more.
As an italian...let me tell you, i will be shocked if in his first season he is going to make that much of a difference, Prem fans, stop saying that Serie A/italian players are not good when you keep overpaying our young players that have not yet proved themselves.
Yall lemme warn you guys Nwaneri and ESR might start getting the gametime they need maybe Nwaneri can slip in the Rw position to give Saka the rest he needs

@@ptptpt123 potentially, the reason I think Calafiori will be a CDM is because he is younger than the other defenders making him more trainable and adaptable.

@@lerenarddekonoha58Not true. Madrid were only willing to offer £18m for Yoro & nothing more given he had 1 year left on his deal. They tried to bully Lille to accept less. Madrid weren't desperate for a CB & were willing to wait 1 year to get him on a free. They were confident they could get him on a free & have him stay if they didn't take there £18m offer. Lille wanted Yoro gone immediately & not leave on a free but also not get bullied into taking £18m for an elite prospect. Man United met there asking price & Madrid underestimated that happening. Lille pushed Yoro out the door & threatened to not play him that next season if he stayed. It was a win for United, win for Lille and a massint L for Real Madrid who thought they could bully Lille.

Arsenal convinced Calafiori to join, Arteta sold him the project. He then pushed Bologna to lower there asking price to get the deal done. Arsenal got Calafiori for £33m after they wanted £42m.

Because they had to. United need to overpay to ensure they have no competition for players because top talents often have multiple options. They had to throw tons of money at Yoro to get his club to force his hand… if they hadn’t then he would have just waited a year and gone to Madrid.
The only thing that worries me is even though he can play LB he is more of a CB that's why he was moved from LB because CB suited him more it's like Ben White but the opposite started CB but RB suits him more and if we start Calafiori at LB will we see the best of him?
Incorrect, if you know football at a high level you know Timber is already the best Defender in England and will be the first name on Arsenal's sheet week in week out. You just don't know this because you only know his name at Arsenal and didn't see him last season due to injury. Don't be sad because you don't know as much about him as me, be happy because Arsenal have the best defender in the world at their disposal.

He's basically a left-footed Ben White. We had vulnerability down the left last season. It's good to see Arteta finding solutions.
Nope a bit higher than Ben white in offense
This is the best description of califiori
I think he’s a better 1v1 defender than White.

bro i love this channel, i use everything i learn hear in an argument why we will win the league 😅

I feel like he will play that Xhaka role
Yeah I agree. Dude looks like he could be a big presence in the midfield
Hmmmm, actually would love to see that. He looks like a good fit for that role
Absolutely, bcoz I don't see rice playing as number 8. He suits the 6 and that's it. We have to embrace it.

Very good efence we have with Tieney still in the team. I would consider Zinny at midfield 8 in some of the games
