Up the Arse! Goons Thread

[Cruyff14]

He's not better than Isak so I am not sure if Newcastle - wages aside - would interest him? Though it seems he isn't phased with playing time.

I had no appreciation for how good a footballer he is prior to this season. If I had his number I would message him my apology.

Eddie is on £100k per week with four years remaining. Our only chance to move him on would result in a significant haircut on any proposed fee. Foer better or worse, Eddie is with us for the medium term at leasst.

Arsenal apparently have episode 1 of a doco on Jesus’ recovery. Not sure if any good.

Former Premier League midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker on Football Daily: "Watching Arsenal right now is like watching Pep's Man City a couple of years ago when it was just so entertaining, it was drawing you in to want to watch them because the football and the style from front to back was just sensational."

NGL, tears of laughter. Whomever did the voiceover did an incredible job.

Yep that is outstanding.

The All or Nothing amazon doco has me craving for me behind the scenes stuff. I really enjoy the bench cam, access all areas etc videos the club puts out, am a bit of a content junkie this season. Will certainly check out the Jesus one.

On a similar note, the Bellerin series on his ACL recovery a few years ago was fantastic. Highly recommend.

Yeah seems like we a stuck with him. Hopefully it's not at the expense of Balogun, who is looking like a good talent.

Maybe he could be a makeweight in a deal for Rice? That would be ideal.

Though if we can afford to pay him 100k to be a 3rd stringer then so be it.

Tomi out for the season

I think we all know being able to afford that is a non-issue. It's playing time. He's arguably the form striker in Europe right now, and he'll be expecting to play lots of minutes going forward. Is he going to do that behind Jesus and Eddie? Probably not.

Hopefully the first choice back 4 stay fit for the remainder of the season so it doesn't hurt us a great deal.

Maybe Jesus also spends some time on the right relieving Saka?

How far the club the has come since.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

One thing I've noticed when watching Balogun's highlights is that he seems to be genuinely two footed. He scores and shoots hard with both feet.

You watch this and you won't be able to tell which foot he favors:

 

[bok_party]

Ozil retiring from professional football at 34

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Özil and Pires, my two favourite ever players to watch. Pure magic.

Özil and Pires, my two favourite ever players to watch. Pure magic.

Bergkamp & Henry were my favorite Arsenal players. Bergkamp especially. Such a graceful player, oozed class and was not reliant upon athleticism at all. There really isn't a current equivalent of him.

Henry & Ozil here.

He's a right footer with a very strong left. There's a few giveaways in that video.

As an ambidextrous person who used to lose his shit at Kieran Gibbs every 5 minutes, I genuinely appreciate that strength on both sides.

 

[windyhill]

Charlie Nicholas all time fave. DB10, **** !! Took him off Inters hands, he struggled early, sublime does not do him justice. Insane footballer, loved scoring v the filth. Statue outside The EMS, known as God.
Actually got to see him live twice. I close my case.

 

[glenferry23]

Ian Wright is who put Arsenal on the map for me, the reason I first started following the club. He’ll always hold that special place for me. As for the best, Henry and Bergkamp are hard to split.

A shame at how the relationship with Ozil deteriorated towards the end. His first few years at Arsenal were something else. Still remember the disbelief I felt when Arsenal signed him. He and Sanchez formed a formidable partnership for a few years.

 

[dirty2]

Tony Adams was my first favorite.

Bergkamp and Henry
