new name is Cristhian Mosquera. 20 year old right-footed CB from Valencia who started 37 games last season at LCB.
players are more comfortable turning different ways and some players don't even see the game as well from one side or the other. there's a clip out there somewhere of Wenger talking about it when he is explaining why he used to start young midfielders playing in wide positions.
I know im yelling at a cloud but I really dont want MLS being an out and out starter before hes in his 20s. The Prem is a grown-men grinder of a league
In an ideal world him/Cali + White/Timber are all playing significant minutes and being rotated regularly. Kinda the only way to keep fullbacks healthy in 2025 given all they’re asked to do
I think the bigger issues is the refs. He plays for the wrong team and is the wrong color to get calls. Saka got the shit kicked out of him for years.
Eze the new left wing rumor today. Tbh eze in the 10 shirt at the carpet would go extremely hard two hale end wingers in New Balances, what a world
if we get Mosquera + Eze (in addition to Norgaard, Zubimendi, and Kepa) and then get the striker we want....Berta, I apolozie, I wasn't really familiar with your game
probably. High key a chance hes going to north america 2026 100%. Calafiori needs to stay healthy and do his part Agreed, hes a tough kid at least
Playing Madrid in CL knockouts really made me understand the insane media machine that surrounds them. The Zubi rumors were slightly worrying but by the time they were saying MLS contract talks were not going well and Madrid wanted him I just laughed
Early in Arteta’s tenure someone wrote a great article breaking down how the passing angles with each foot are such a big deal (for defenders especially) and why Arteta was looking for lefties, it made a lot of sense. Apologies, I don’t remember much of the content or who it was, possibly someone at the Athletic
Might have been Cox (don’t have a sub anymore) edit: was Art not Cox (no paywall) https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5623244/2024/07/10/arsenal-arteta-left-footers/
knew Zohran was a gunner but didn't realize he was a proclaimed arseblog listener as well. it's just a shame he's not eligible to run for president.
Just fucking do something already. (No one tell me it’s not even July yet. I’ve seen this movie before #dithering)
After all the ink spilled on these guys for the last year+ ? we need a headline attacker Rodrygo is starting to feel like a pipe dream
Between the Ohio State brigade who couldn’t last 6 months after a nati before they had to have another meltdown and this. Could everyone just calm the fuck down
If Kai is really our number 9 and we believe in him and need someone who can spell him and get like 10-12 league goals, Hugo is solid business buttttt solid business isn’t enough to compete with Liverpool and Citeh and if it is Hugo I would want that Sesko/Gyokeres money to still be spent on making the team better
Rodrygo has to happen on its own timeline. Theres no swooping in for a Madrid player. Essentially you just have to have the cash and show up when the player wants to leave.
Feel like this is the biggest influence on the so-called dithering. He’s pretty clearly option one in attack & the most expensive, if available. Moving forward with lessor options prior to at least understanding feasibility of getting him from Madrid would be criminally bad We’re super active & seemingly addressing needs across the squad. Just give it some time fellas
Bigger muscles and more likely to end up on my team pretty much. I think Hugo is probably better today but they both have massive potential. I much prefer both of them to Gyokeres
