Thirty quid that costume cost me. Thirty quid.
Don't ever say I don't spoil you lot.
Thank you Surfshark! 🦈
Was it a 5'6" shark suit 😂😂😂😂😂
@@Jamaicanarsenalfan😂😂😂😂😂 one size fits all settings
Hope they paid you at least £40 then! Lol
Including Pearl is something I didn't see coming
Just rent it. When are you ever going to dress up as a shark again?
Maaan, your ads are something else 😂
Revanced, you're welcome
I just want to say. These are exactly how ads should be. Entertaining!!!
Truly… unique 🤣
Only time I watch ads this one was too funny🤣🤣🤣
A good sign of a quality channel is one that makes the ads entertaining.
I’m convinced Crystal Palace will announce Nketiah before we announce Merino.
Nketiah doesn't seem to go anywhere, already 2 deals have been broken outt😢
who cares lol.. Merino is an arsenal player already.. we are focusing on a forward player right now
@@drprathamprakash1408who lied to you? Nketsiah doesn't negotiate, it's Arsenal..Stop hating the innocent guy
Hahaha...
That's true...
Nketiah will be announced before Merino
Merino announcement tomorrow
I think Calafiori and Merino are the best fitting signings that Arsenal could have done this summer. I think both will have a big impact.
A bigger impact on Martinelli!
Huge signings and most of the media doesn’t even realise yet…I’m praying we get Adingra 😭🤞
@@sarryuken8786 naa.. How many more seasons will u gas Martinelli
@@sarryuken8786we need a Martinelli upgrade
The best Xhaka season was the best Martinelli season.
I agree with you and have the same observation. Xhaka was amazing in his last season with Arsenal and he served Martinelli a lot
I’ve watched Real Sociedad games for a while and Merino has always been one of the standouts, not only is he a physical player but also a really smart one. He will definitely play in that left 8 role for Arsenal as arriving late to the box is one of his strengths, kind of like Gundogan. Another thing he is also really good at is quick switches from one side of the pitch to another, which Arsenal is lacking right now, this will make Arsenal’s left side more threatening than ever
I hope to god that was 5'6" rizzan in that shark suit 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
you were born to be a content creator alex. the best sponsor ad ever on youtube
Never thought an ad would be enjoyable to watch 😂
4:33 these are the foggin estadards guise!! 🤣🤣🤣
This is the only channel I don’t skip the ads on 😂😂😂
I dont think anyone does better impersonations than this guy 😂😂😂
Love they way the club navigated this window. Not overspending on potential and hype but clever negotiating for players with enough experience that raise the floor of the squad. Its so hard to improve when u are this good already. COYG❤️
"Not overspending on potential and hype" - £40m for an injury prone LB with zero EPL experience who Arsenal fans have already dubbed 'Maldini' because he's Italian, has long hair and 2 legs
"Clever negotiating for players with enough experience" - Paying £72m signing Pepe £10 to leave the club, landing Sesko, Zirkzee & Onana and waiting for 3 months Merino t recover from the Euros
" Its so hard to improve when u are this good already" - 4 trophy less seasons on the bounce after spending over £700m
Trust the Process xx
I have a feeling that he's going to be another Trossard. A signing we weren't exactly super excited about, but turned out to be a huge addition to the club.
I agree, although I was excited about Trossard, as I saw him at Brighton and knew he was a very good fit for Arsenal. I think he's going to do a lot of little things that add up to a big difference, while making it possible for Partey and Rice to get more rest. Cheers!
@@mydancinglife730 I saw Trossard in New Mexico and Rice outside The Birds in Leytonstone
The Advertisement GOAT😅😂😂😂😂😂 🐐
Why was that voiceover on the ad so good 😂
His header stats in the box are worldclass. Hes a demon with the noggin, something that I havent seen talked about much. Will make our setpiece even better than it alteady is.
Jesus Alex that Mikel impression was actually shockingly good 😂
why aren't people mad talking about it🤣🤣
A good measure of Merino's impact would be if he were to score 3 more goals than Rice did last season if he plays regularly (so 10 ) and gets Martinelli back up to his 22-23 total of 15. That would mean a total boost of 12 extra premiership goals over last season. Defensively, he should be worth maybe 3 points (turning one loss into a draw and one draw into a win). Those sorts of numbers could make the difference between 2nd and 1st.
Those sorts of numbers mean nothing if you win nothing
4 years and counting...
True, don't mind the bellend above me.
@@3rdDantetherapist Lol, says the dry lunch still sleeping with his foster parents and gets beeast fed by a mountain goat
@@RichardJones-p2z can't even spell right.
Embarrassing
@@3rdDantetherapist Says the bacon who's has the words 'the" and "rapist" in his given name...
Alex! Alex!! Alex!!! Mark my word and remember this name Arteta has just signed the future coach of Arsenal football club. I know Xhaka is in contention but Merino is the future especially under Mikel. My response to all the clap backs is "let's watch and see".
Why
Who told you that? Julian off AFTV?
With Merino we can afford to rest Rice or even play both in those crunch matches.
Alex posts we watch even the adds😂😂
Merino could be our Best olayer. No one believed Ødegaard could one day be our best player. Merino has what it takes to help Arsenal win the league. His experience as a regular first team player will be handy.
His experience as a regular sub for Spain and getting rejected by Newcastle Utd will be handy
Everyone believed Odegaard wasn't good enough to play for big UCL winning club Real Madrid and nobody there's surprised that he still hasn't won anything in his career.
Excellent video, weird ad at the beginning.
I agree with your opinion on how Merino would help the players around him get better. In fact, I really do think that was Arteta's intention of signing him. A 28-yo who is a hardworking midfielder with no star-power who's prime is going to last for at most 2-3 more years? Yeah, he's a signing for the NOW.
Unlike Calafiori (who I believe will replace Big Gabi by January) and Timber (who will be our long term LB option), Merino will be expected to impact immediately. The fact that we got tired by the 3rd quarter of last season shows how important it is to give Rice some much needed rest and a quality cover for Partey.
I know you still want another forward. Initially I didn't think we would need one even if we sell Eddie. But with Jesus crocked again, we are quite light at the top. Unless Arteta thinks putting Nwaneri on the wings and Martinelli up top is a good idea. Or if we revisit this in January.
But all in all, I am excited by our signings. Every Gooner knows we need 3 signings at which positions, we got 2 of them and exactly who we wanted.
I've never been happy and Patient at an Advert
Bro should be a comendian
Glad to see the sponsor receiving a very distinctive ad.
Rohan is most certainly the person in the shark costume
Merino could be to us what Akanji is to City. Not the best player in the world and certainly not a superstar signing but very stable, experienced, and reliable. Im excited.
4:33 Your Mikel Arteta Impressions 😂😂😂😂I have looked into their eyes... It is ALWAYS a DIFFERENT KNOCK 😉
Can you make a video of 1. why Arsenal over the years like left footed players so much. 2. how our attackers score with both feet (stats of what they use to score or assist e.g. left, right or head)
Liverpool signed Mane, Wijnaldum and Matip in 2016 and it started their era….although Calafiori+ Merino is huge in my opinion, if we get 1 more man just one more quality attacker 😭 I feel like it’ll take arsenal to the next level. Let’s all pray and hope it’s Adingra 🤲🏾
Looking forward to the wider Martinelli conversation!
To put it briefly, I would still start Martinelli vs Brighton; I also think dropping him would not be good for his confidence right now
I also believe that Arteta will as well. Everyone is pressuring him to start Trossard and we know how he approaches these sort of situations.
Amazing Video, Like Always!
It's wise to keep expectations in check, but I believe this signing will prove to be more transformative and significant than it currently feels. Maybe even more than other blockbuster names.
He fits perfectly into the left 8 role, allowing Rice to rest (conserve energy during games and to take some games off entirely.)
Additionally, his ability as a progressive passer is often underappreciated because it's easy to overcalibrate for his modest pass success percentage. With higher-quality players ahead of him, this should address a key problem we've been facing.
The only time i watched full ads 😭
Mikel hoping Mikel will fix the issue that Mikel has created.
White covers the issue on the right to an extent as he does overlap Saka on the wing to allow Saka to cut inside. MO8 will not provide the same benefit on the overlap with him being left footed.
Timber isn't going to provide that overlap on the left as he is right footed. Rice isn't as he is right footed. Martinelli has literally no-one to go out wide to allow him to cut in. I also see Calafiori signing as a potential way to fix the left hand side issue.
This guys has the best ads.
Love how he presents his videos
...fun and informative
We are the fogin duu EL kings now
I regularly watch these videos because they are top notch Arsenal content. Now I will continue watching them for the Arsenal content AND these amazing ads. COYG! 🦈
This is a very good signing in many ways. I love the fact that he is 28 which doesn’t block the path of our young players coming through.
- who else didn’t know the video had started and was waiting for “skip ad” to pop on?
best ad ive ever seen in my life, ive never been more convinced to buy something ever
He’ll allow Rice a lot more breathing room to attack. Now if only we had gotten a Xavi Simons to help out/sub Ødegaard.
I hope they pay you extra for these ads, I respect the dedication 😂
Rizzan’s mate is literally 5’4” that shark costume for kids maxes out at 5’6”
That start. We love you Al, don't ever change.😂
DEF: Calafiori /Timber / Zinchenko (probably not at the club next season but great asset against teams who sit deep this season).
MID: Rice (long term would love to see him in the Rodri role at 6, with Partey playing there this season, currently he plays on the left) Merino Nwaneri
FWD: Martinelli Trossard
If Arteta manages to find the right combination suddenly the left side looks spicy
damn....i hope this deal works for us, don't know much about merino but i trust super Mik Arteta
Dunno why but that ad gave me internet historian vibes 😂
Awesome point made - what can Mikel do for the squad. I think a whole lot. After the international break - I suspect Merino will be a nailed on starter by the start of October with Ricardo. I really think Martinelli is going to explode and become world class at that point - but for now lets just use trossard, that bloke deserves it.
I love your adds! Keep up the good work!
Just putting this out there for fun. Here in the states, 2 1/2 weeks off a year is a LOT. We are lucky if we get ANY vacation time let alone 2-3 weeks.
Most jobs don't demand you running kilometers twice a week
Merino Just turned 28 he isn't going to die in 5 years. The way people talk about players ages nowadays is so stupid. We need ready made players not some guy who will develop.
Great presentation.
You are nuts! We love you man! Your ads are something else 😂
Don’t underestimate Merino’s passing
Please can you do a video more into detail as to why Martinelli is not performing like he did just over a season ago, and the impact of this on the team
Great stuff delivered once again.
That Mikel arteta representation 😅😅
I think Nwaneri will be our RW backup and we’ll get an RAM to replace Vieria
This idea that Martinelli needs to be unlocked is the biggest BS I’ve heard in a while. Rice does a good job in the left 8 yet he doesn’t perform but it’s a different story when it’s trossard. I personally feel we’ve outgrown Martinelli and need a new winger ASAP
Great sponsorship video🤌😂😂😂
The amount of goals / chances this guy will score / assist with headers will be ridiculous :D
Nico Jover must be dancing in joy rn ahaha
Nico Jover must be wondering why the club haven't won anything in 4 years too...
Fuck these ads are so good
Rice was loosing Doowells 😮
Arsenal is going to be Airsenal with its aerial supremacy. Gabriel, Saliba, Havertz, Calafiori and Merino attacking every inswingers and outswingers from open play or dead ball is going to be very very deadly.
Still don't know why we didn't go for Wharton
I was looking for skip button the whole first minute
@diffknock where do you watch all your epl and champion league matches please...you mentioned it in one of your videos i think.
What does "strong-foot overlap" mean, as in: what about the overlap makes it "strong-footed"?
Martinelli should be played as our striker. Spread the word. He's fast, a great goalscorer, a great dribbler and a great header.
Now that's how you do advertising🤣
@2:13 none of these guys would’ve been a better signing then Merino 😂😂 don’t be afraid to fall in to the new transfer signing hype because with Merino, the stats don’t like he’s an insanely underrated player and a 9/10 signing by Edu and Arteta.
Can’t help but think how we’ve missed a player like Xhaka since he left. Now we got the Spanish version who’s a bit faster and a better attacker. Not even gonna start with the versatility he brings 😅
I think we should play Rice as a DM, his best position!
Its a bit high. Think we could have got Merino a month ago for that price.
wow cool shark costume man
I must admit. I will go look up this surf shark now
we need a powerful striker. without which is going to be really hard seeing arsenal winning
Liked the video just for the ad alone😂
Corners really are turning into penalties for Arsenal with Merino.
That Arteta impression is spot on..!!
I think Merino is going to pleasantly surprise everyone
I wanted Joao Neves originally, but Merino is good enough
Is winning duels easier in La Liga than the prem, as we're told over and over the latter is more physical? Is that possible to prove?
I miss Alex intro videow 😢
Amazing content brother
Alex had this suit long before he needed it for the sketch 👀
“I don’t care what walk of life you’re in, two and half weeks off isn’t enough.”
American viewers who only get two weeks (OR LESS) off per year: 👉😔👈
04:32 😂😂👍🏼
I believe merino signing will also help matinelli games .Bcos since xhaka left us matinelli has been unproductive
I disagree on your take saying the left footed Merino will unlock martinelli, as far as i see nelli just isn't playing well.
Last season, nelli's poor form could be explained away by havertz being in the left 8 and their skill sets weren't compatible. However this season Even in pre-season lots of attention was given to the left side, more rotations activity etc, even with rice closer to him and offering himself as an option nelli is still ineffective.
Maybe arteta was right about him, maybe martinelli has plateaued, remember how arteta was hell bent on getting a left winger in the last couple of seasons.
Anyway here's Hoping Martinelli gets back to his best.
WELCOME BACK TOOOO!!
Best of luck brother
If Merino is going to turn out like Trossard, despite not being as future proof as it can be, I'd be happy for what he contributes in the next few years.
Quality as usual 👍👍
Tempo it’s all about tempo ..
I wish Arsenal would sign Sancho.
So basically, taller, badass Santi. Good!
Start Trossard for the next 5 games, please. I can't wait for Merino and Odegaard to rekindle their Sociedad midfield relationship.
