It's not like he'd have made an impact at arsenal or gotten big fees at any other time. Its fine to perseverate about first team talent but marginal talents like bielik are dime a dozen
this is the same shit that could have been said about Jeff, Bennacer, even Gnabry. not saying Bielik is a lock to turn into a player like that but it’s just bad business to let him go now when he’s at a tipping point in his career.
Jorts literally said the same shit about Gnabry the summer he dominated the Olympics, now he's a player that would go for 100 million. Think Jeff is wildly overrated but Bennacer is a baller and sounds like Malen has a future. The fact of the matter is some clubs sell their prospects and also their shit for a ton of money because their club has appeal while everyone at our club is viewed as damaged goods(got that from the Stillman article today)
Liverpool made 15+ million on a player that was an absolute bust in Solanke. All I'm saying about Bielik is telling a guy that was great for club last year(even at a low level) and fabulous at U21 euros he's worthless just sends a message that he's worth nothing. Even if we don't value him, should make it look like we do.
Too slow. He thrived as a DM, in front of a back 4. That said. Just gotta make it work this season & hit top 4. Gonna be a ride
My commentary was regarding his rumored attitude/work ethic, not potential... coupled with a positive spin. Really fucking sucks that he’s world class & slipped through our grasp
You know Arsecast is in America when he’s complaining about the heat and travel And noticing the COL difference between LA and Charlotte was also amusing
Excited to see the team tonight. Probably the youngsters after the game Thursday night. Hope they go bruised banana again but I doubt it
Can we just leave Mustafi in America? We’re not going to get anything for him...just tell him the buses leave at noon and then really leave at 9 am.
There needs to be a talk with him. Pay half or more of his wages with no loan fee and just send him anywhere.
Reiss needs some strength. Eddie's off ball work and deceptive strength gives him a chance to make it.
Oh my, Gab's talent is undeniable despite the miss. This isn't a Jeff/Zelalem fancy pass in preseason, he's gonna be a physical beast in a few years with talent.
Awesome time at the game. Wish there were more people, but 35000 not bad. Eddie looked very good. Love Reiss but needs something to stick.
Can confirm the game was insanely hot. Also got to meet Arseblog for a second on Friday plus that AFTV shithouser Robbie who walked up to me out of nowhere and just assumed I wanted a picture with him.
Are y’all happy with the loan? I would’ve loved Ceballos if Madrid gave an option to buy, but that was a huge sticking point for them.
