Maybe Rice should sit the next game out .. see how they get on without him .. 😂
As long as Rice plays well for Arsenal thats all I care about.
Neville is right on this, Rice is a great player but you can not at the moment rely on him as alone six unless he has someone like Timber inverting to help him out.
Yeh, we said the same thing Neville was saying early in the season. That's why Partey/Jorgi play along side him
Neville criticising an Arsenal player is nothing new. I'd drop Kane and play Watkins. At least Watkins actually ran. Oh and WTF is going on with 'player of the season' Foden. Nah must be Rice fault. Maybe he was just tired from carrying the team in the first match. Come on FFS.
PS that pitch was a ankle injury waiting to happen.
...but we all said the same thing Neville was saying early in the season. That's why we ended up with Partey/Jorgi play along side him?
Gary Neville lasted 8 games as a manager, he needs to sit down when it comes to talking about Declan Rice.
I genuinely think rice is knackered and it’s due to having such a long season with Arsenal, he played every game he was available and it’s a high tempo under Arteta he’ll be fine after our pre season but I do thinks it’s down to playing for Arsenal and he’s just hit a wall now.
For real! Still not sure why he is given such a platform.
@@kurtisholzshu3586 paid to spit nonsense.
Yep he didn’t do much as England assistant coach either
Get him off from the box, he's not cut out for it
G martinelli is very good he will be explosive next season.
We need to get him a proper LCM partner on that side and he will be amazing
"Proper" what is that supposed to mean?
Martinelle is amazing doesn't mean we shouldn't strengthen the team... any good talented player is welcomed. We should take advantage to stack the team, rotation will be key to success. I personally believe our luck of rotation has caused as trophies the past two seasons. ...Realize if a player is tired Arteta doesn't believe in his options so he sticks with a tired saka or saliba. We absolutely should pick this up. I wish Martinelle gives a ballon d'or worthy performance next season but I also want to see my team, Arsenal, feared by all with first team or bench starting
@@a_jesse23Not Zinchenko but maybe Timber

Arsenal need to sign him asap, nico William
2nd most highest payed player at the club it ant happening bro ihe would be the only player we sign this season
Yeah but there's still a possibility with his release clause and Arsenal wage bill
@@aboskaomi1049 He is back up for saka though
He can play on both right and left side
After watching the Spanish side yesterday, I think we should look at Fabian Ruiz. He was amazing . He will be a good no 8 . He has all the qualities for it.
I can see you've never seen him play for PSG. Maybe it's due to his confidence or something else, but still makes very unreliable.
@@adamchaoui2184he’s going to athletico Madrid I believe
he's already in the top club, too little too late
It's trust that he IS not comfortable in PSG but i think arteta could improve him
Exactly that is what I said after seeing him yesterday. He is the perfect number 8 Arsenal needs along side Rice number 6.
Good player, but I wouldn't swap him for Martinelli.
Most Def
My best mate is a Chelsea fan and I banter him all the time on how bad Gallagher is. So needless to say I pray we never sign him. 😂
There’s definitely a player there. He was great for Palace
Saliba is playing left centre back for France, and playing well. Another versatile player in our backline
I've never supported England however I am shocked how much England have been slagged off by the media
I'm over 60-and this happens every tournament. You new to football ?England has the divine right to win every tournament
Southgate can make any player look crap
It's the skill he was employed for, after all his greatest achievement as a manager was to get Middlesbrough relegated.
@@billybatson2149 If getting Middlesbrough relegated, is a bigger achievement than getting England to their first final in 50 years in your opinion, then your opinion isn't worth much..
Makes Bellingham and foden look like championship players not champions league winners
@@Letstalk-context He makes them does he, how exactly does he do that? Telekinesis?
Makes arguably the best England team we’ve ever had look like a championship team battling relegation 💀
On paper, we are probably the best current nation team too
The master tactician Southgate isn’t helping England or Rice with him being the only one showing for the ball from the back. Gallagher came in and was afraid to go get the ball from the back end and it killed the offense.
Charles, you should have painted out the samples onto card and then you can move them around the room to see how the light effects the colour.
Nico William will be a great signing for arsenal definitely
Hi Charles. I always follow you from Uganda. Thanks for the updates
Nice I've been talking about Williams for a while, would be happy if we signed him.
Xhaxa back at the Emirates for the Emirates cup as well as lacazette and Maitland & nikes
Be different if Declan Rice signed for man utd though
Rice was 1 of our best players in the first game as a 6, especially 2nd half
The reason he was moved to 8 by Arteta is Havertz was moved to play as a striker and we literally had nobody else to play the 8 apart from ESR. Whereas we had Jorginho and later Partey to play as the 6's
I do think he isnt as good on the ball as some of the other 6s, even Partey moves the ball between the lines better, and is better receiving the ball off the back 4, but when Rice plays as a 6 hes a ball winner, not a deep lying playmaker, there are different types of 6s
Agree but someone has to make the play. Zinchenko can do that but his brain farts were getting to frequent.
Given up on Tierney. 10 million down the drain 😢. We could have got 25 2 years ago? Our loans our sales and our value retention are still very poor. All need to improve drastically.
Hi Charles,
I think whomever we finally decide to sign this window, has to be top quality and the market is quite small for such talent pool.
I also don't think signing a player based on international performances like this isn't too good.
Sam from Nigeria.
Cheers.
Glad Midsommar från Sweden!
Question for you, Charles: Could we offer a sign on fee to Nico and negotiate lower wages? That way it would be easier to sell him on in future, if needs be?
Rice needs a better partner with him midfield. I watched you all the time from the US north Carolina
Rice himself needs to be better in midfield
Great content bro
Klopp would be a great option for the England job.
Also Gary Neville.. "Manchester United should have Declan Rice"
People getting over excited about players based on 1-2 games again😂
Would be nice if those wires would get done too.
Honestly id sign fofana/fabian ruiz as 8s and zubamendi...those would be my 3 options currently....IF we sign a st id go for dovbyk and wingers idk....i wouldnt get a winger for more than 40m BUT if olise wants to join us id spend 70
Hello Charles. Funny thing is watching Nico Williams at the Euros and I didn't I realised what a great player Martinelli was. He is just as fast as Nico Williams but soo more street smart than and definitely a better finisher. I think that we are getting carried away by his last season stats but no way I will swap Martinelli for Nico Williams.
Competition is a good idea
Neville although harsh isn’t wrong about Declan not being a 6. Playing as a 6 for West Ham under Moyes is not the same as playing as a 6 for Arsenal and England. There’s levels to it and there’s good reason Arsenal went on the run we did towards the second half of the season when Arteta brought Jorginho in as the 6 and moved Declan to 8. He can play as an 6/8 hybrid because certain phases he does incredibly well as a 6 but he just doesn’t have the one thing all true 6’s need to have success in Arsenal’s system and that’s progressive passing.
☝️
Given all the talk about us looking for a new midfielder in the no.8/6 role, Fabian Ruiz looked solid during that game.
KT is done…who would pay £1 for him….injured all the time…shame…I think everyone is gutted as he is easy to root for…I have his jersey 😢
Arguably our best player under Emery definitely feel for him honest and likable but his career seems almost over
I’d go with the light blue on the bottom row, just to your left as we see it on the screen Charles 😄
Hi Charles, Looking @Ukraine's game vs Slovakia @Euros; Zinchenko demonstrated both his strengths and weaknesses in the match: a lapse in concentration led to the goal Ukraine conceded, but he also provided a beautiful assist for his team's equalizer. Despite his inconsistency, I believe he can be valuable in certain games, so I would recommend keeping him for the new season
Charles, over the last 24 hours or so there has been numerous links with Nico Williams again. I thought his wages demands were too high but after that Italy game i just think we should get him now that Olise is moving to Bayern and Neto is such a injury prone player. Relatively cheap release clause for his age and performance, he will definitely be the bargain of the summer. One thing that comes to mind though is are we able to persuade him to come over to England and start as a backup for both wings. Other clubs who are looking at Nico(Chelsea,Liverpool and Barcelona) has a better chance of offering more playing time to Nico than Arsenal in my opinion.
We can sign him, good talent and a fit for asernal.
I was also impressed by Fabian Ruiz. Looks like a really versatile 8 and might be had for £30m - he's 28 but would be a good floor raiser.
I would love to see Nico at Arsenal. But not until he has time in Europa League with my other team, Athletic Club!!
Rice wasn't good but Trent was the worst of the lot imo
And tell Edu to get Lamaine Yamal with Nico too?
Yamal is impossible
Nico Williams looks a very talented player.
I will say he looks like more of a winger to me & I think we may need more of an inside forward.
Take away the fancy footwork & He didn't look any better at crossing than Nelli & less of a goal threat.
He would need to add goals if he played here.
Mudryk scored more goals than Williams last season.
So did Nelli despitesuffering with injuries & losing his place.
Williams would need to improve his output big time.
He is young though so hopefully he could.
Charles Wattage 🙌🏾
Harsh but accurate . When he's playing for West Ham he wasn't dictating the tempo of the game, it was mostly breaking up plays and tracking back.
Rice had to cover for Trent A..too much to do..
I’m a little concerned that the players we are being linked with only raise the floor of the squad, none of them raise the ceiling… it won’t be enough to end City’s dominance im afraid
Hi Charles,
Great piece as always! I'm so worried about next season and hope we don't regress especially with the pressure of winning the league. See reasons below:
1. Our key players look knackered because they haven't gotten enough rest from Arsenal and their international teams (Saka, Rice, Havertz.......even Saliba).
2. I think we need new players that would be up and running/ at least ready to compete with these 'tired' players. Saka vs Nico Williams, Declan Rice vs Onana,Havertz vs a decent striker.
3. I still think we need a striker because Jesus in terms of scoring is not dependable. What if Havertz is injured or loses form?
4. I think we should keep Partey if we sign Onana. He should learn from Partey for a year.
Hi Charles,
Great content as always!
With Olise going to Bayern, do you think we may have a chance of signing Sane or Gnabry? The Munich attack is a bit crowded with both Sane, Gnabry, Coman, Musiala, Tel, Pavlovic and now Olise (as well as obviously Kane and Muller) so something has to give…
As exciting as Williams looks, knowing what we do about the high wages he’s on, I’d personally rather put that money towards a more established player like Sane or Gnabry who we know would be an instant success on either of our flanks.
Nico Williams is the truth.
Hi Charles. After the England match Southgate laughed off the suggestion that he instructed the players to sit so deep. However, the players seemed far less convincing when saying it wasn't an instruction. What do you think is worse: Southgate instructs the players to sit that deep and be overly conservative, or he tells the players to push up and attack, but every single one of them ignores him??
I think the players have now seen through Southgate/Holland………How right was Ben White to walk away!
i was wondering who this Cruz, the fantastic midfielder you were talking about was. Then I realised it was Kroos.
Charles, the team is named ATHLETIC CLUB (English name). The enforced ‘Atletico’ was retired after General Franco was introduced to non-alive-ness
Charles anything concrete on the Viktor Gyokeres rumours?
I‘m not quite sure with Nico Williams - not if he‘s a good player or not, he‘s really good. But if the reports are correct, he wants to earn 300k… would be our highest earning player… and that for a not proven Prem player is a big risk and if it doesn‘t work out, it isn‘t a good groundwork for the contract extension of Saka and Saliba, they want to earn more than him and so on.
But my main reason for not going for him is the position. He‘s a LW - not really my priority position, due to Martinelli and Trossard there. I don‘t think he would be a rotation option (down to salary). So it would be interesting to see.
I think the reason that no sales are done is because most clubs are waiting to get into the next financial year so they don’t trigger this year PSR
Charles any news on Viktor Gyokeres
Charles, does the paint mean you will rewire the TV?????
Charles please get those cables chased in before you paint 😂😂
Kudas from West ham should have been got already
The reported Nico Wiiam wage expectation of 300k£ pw would kill the deal, if getting any traction at all. Also, physically might not be as robust
The patronising interviews with Danish manager and players before the game when the BBC interviewers asked how the Danish players would cope with the England team, must have fired up Denmark. This happens every tournament when we hear how England are the best team and then the amusing surprised studio reactions and media kicking when it goes wrong the first time they face a half decent team.
And while I'm on the subject of the England football team, the constant gushing over Harry Kane's goal scoring record in an era when penalties are given out freely is wrong. Back in the days when Lineker became England's highest goal scorer, penalties were very rare compared to now. Kane has had more international penalty goals alone than Lineker had in his entire playing career at club and international level. In addition teams like Andorra, San Marino, Liechtenstein, Gibraltar etc, did not play in international tournaments and there were very few chances to rack up massive wins against the smallest minnows which has boosted Kane's total considerably.
Are you going to finally sort THAT cable out?
Dont go with any of those paints 😂
Would be surprised if Niko on more than 100000 a week. Doubt he is going to need to be our second highest unless other big big clubs come in with more.
Williams looks a lot better than Leao from what I've seen and would cost so much less
I think England were awful yesterday (I had to keep it podcast friendly I suppose lol), Kane especially, aside from his goal he wasn't giving us any options to build attacks because he wasn't making runs in behind the defenders. Instead he was jogging around the centre circle from side to side when he should be sat on the shoulder of the last defender ready to make those runs in behind like Watkins did within his first few moments after coming onto the pitch. I wonder whether Kane's legs are starting to go? He wasn't the only player who wasn't particularly good but I just get wound up when I see Kane playing like that. Our performance certainly wasn't helped by that god awful pitch though!
He’s carrying a back injury but he needs speed around him. He had son at spurs and sane and muisiala at Bayern. He scored 41 goals last season up to manager to play to his strengths
@@ricvin2986 He's got saka and foden around him, two pretty quick players but he's no slouch himself he's still got enough pace to beat most defenders if he starts his run from where he should be but when he's playing essentially as a CM he's not doing anyone any favours. If his back is really that bad we're probably better off with him coming off from the bench and starting Watkins instead surely?
Benjamin White was right....
Sir Charles, England is still with a chance at not making it to the knockout rounds.
Even with 4 points
Charles my man I beg you, stop pretending that ESR is capable of fulfilling all of these roles in midfield, it's not happening, he very clearly isn't of the standard required at Arsenal anymore.
I don't want Gallagher but the idea that ESR could do what he does is ludicrous, it's just not true. You also said he'd be a bigger goal threat, but ESR hasn't scored a goal in over two years...
Come on
Rice has been good but well over estimated by our fan base last season. He has big limitations. He was great as 6 but.. he was big part of our lack of threat as a team playing there. Think Rice can evolve though. Idea he is a steal at 105 million is a nonsense though. I don't see Rice as world class 8 either. Hopefully he adapts and evolves to next level as Rodri did but the nerves thing is a thing. His worst games for us were often the biggest ones. Talk before pressure that he was the difference maker to get us over line was premature. He wasn't great in that Conference cuo nonsense. Ricecwill be fine but lets nit get carried away with his abilities without looking at his limitations.
Pleaseeee sort tv cables when decorating 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I'm begging you
Re Nico. Why not a sign on fee/performance bonuses in exchange for lower ‘standard’ wages, thereby not disrupting the wage structure, in an obvious way.
Hey Charles, Just about England. I think the balance in the defense is the issue more than the middle. Trent Rice and Jude should work in the middle but I can see Southgate going back to a back 3 and Saka taking one for the team and playing Left wing back. Walker or Trips wont last the full tournament..
I'm amazed with Shaws injury and how good Palace were at the back end of the season that Michell wasn't looked at especially if he was planning on playing Guehi
We're not signing anyone this summer. Facts.
This Rice thing has got way out of hand here, Rice.... alongside Rodri has been in the top 3 midfield destroyers in European football last season. The consistency that Rice showed last year was unbelievable, he didn't pull less than a 7 out of 10 all season and to be able to do that in the Premier League shows what quality he has.
Rice was a victim of Southgate's tactical ineptitude and Trents inability to play in the midfield. Trent just isn't an Odegaard, it's as simple as that, he's an attacking right back. Our midfield is all over the place, Hendo is too old and Mainoo/Wharton are too inexperienced......... maybe they'll be ready for 2026 World Cup.
Cutting off passing angles was non-existent last night
I think if we do sign Nico Williams, his talent does warrant being among the highest earners
Kid hasn't achieved anything to warrant him being among the highest earners at Arsenal. His talent isn't generational. All I see is a fast runner. Remember Mudryk? I just think fans are desperate for any signing at all but Nico Williams is not a ceiling raiser and is too expensive for a floor raiser
Y'all need to chill. Do not use your decisions to get a player on single game of tournament football .
Last game people were calling him a flop now one game later he is the greatest thing since sliced bread
Gary Neville who really cares what he says?
Gary talking rubbish as usual it's mainly coz havertz was moved from 8 to 9 that rice was moved forward
Well it worked with Arshavin so why not.
Gabby's on 180k a week and Nico Williams is on just over 200k a week how is that an issue?
Please, Arsenal. Go all out to sign Nico Williams before someone else does!
Why is Nico asking for Mbappa money ?
SO!....so was Ben White RIGHT in not going to the Euro's.
Arsenal should not focus to much on Nico Williams, he is good but trust me Gabi is better.
Nico is fire, but will never come to sit on the Arsenal bench. He will not flourish on a slow attacking team. On the other hand, he can be great at Liverpool, Spurs, Chelsea, Real.
If you want someone to beat his man thats prem ready and not on huge wages, buy Neto.
Im not worried about Rice not having the best of game for England. It’s irrelevant right now because no set up by Southgate is getting England anywhere. Rice plays great for us so I say let them banter him. Teams will just lose to us next season
Nico Williams was sensational yesterday but absolute rubbish in their previous game. This tells me he is an inconsistent player, same problem like so many wingers, not decisive enough. No thanks.
We just need to find a replacement for Kalvin Philips
Isn’t Williams on 250k a week, or did I read that wrong?
You read wrong, bro. However, he wants a move to Barça
I’m going to be selfish and say I’m fed up with seeing Tierney injured every other week which will cost the club this summer as he won’t be sold as nobody can afford to take a risk on him. Just pay him off and get rid as far as I’m concerned.
Rice had a true horror show against Denmark. Better he have those rare moments playing for England and not Arsenal COYG!!
As Arsenal fans why do we get so pressed with comments on our players. Neville was spot on. Decs is fantastic but there are players who can progress the ball and dictate the middle better than him he’s absolutely right. Jorginho & Partey are better than that than Decs so what’s the big deal😂
Also they are technically superior than Decs. Decs quality’s are different to theres
People see a figure for a release clause and forget the aspects of paying the full amount at once directly to La Liga (+ Taxes). I go back to how expensive the Partey deal was and how it required ownership to step in. I am no financial expert but with all these rules, the fact that we are yet to sell an Academy player in this transfer window and the wages he would command all have to be factored in. Deals for other wide forwards who may command bigger fees on paper atm still look more flexible and achievable.
Agreed, that’s why chelsea paid over Enzos release clause to get better payment structure.
The whole realease clause would go into next years books which would reduce the overall amount of spend available
Rice did play bad against Denmark and he makes a lot of praise when he performs. So he deserves the criticism today
Well Rice can run with the ball, Rodri can’t,He’s also quicker than him. Rodri can pass the ball better and very progressive with it!
