[Albion] Amario Cozier-Duberry - SIGNS 4 YEAR CONTRACT

[Van Cleef]

Well there's a guy destined to be forever foreshortened to 'ACD' on NSC. Or at a pinch 'Cozy-D'

Good effort, but ACD sounds a bit like a disease and Cozy-D sounds like a white rapper from Basingstoke.
If he's hitting the first team next season this needs sorting.

 

[US Seagull]

Amario Oswald Gerardo Cozier-Duberry according to Wikipedia.

 

[Motogull]

Appreciate the enthusiasm but let's wait until he sings

Conversely I was pleased to see the unfunny typo discarded. I hope this is permanent.

 

[portslade seagull]

A fair few Arse fans seemed to be pissed that he has left

 

[Whitechapel]

Don’t know if it’s been mentioned but the amount of tweets the club have put up about him does make him feel more like a first team signing than someone who’ll disappear in to the youth team.

 

[jcdenton08]

Interesting he reported as being seen as ready for the first team squad, without even looking at him. I wonder if this was a pre-condition of the transfer - after all, he is moving for a first team pathway.

 

[Han Solo]

Any relation to Michael Duberry?

Asking for exactly no one.

Might be a bit of acclimatisation time with the U21s first but agree looks more like a first team squad place beckons sooner rather than later

I’d be surprised if your weren’t right on this.

Interestingly, the club described him as an attacking midfielder in the emailed announcement. Just as well because we have another 10 or so wingers in the squad at the moment.

 

[scwiffy]

He’s a left footed right winger so will be competing with Minteh and March (although March not back until October-November).

Osman is a left footed right winger so will be competing with Mitoma and Andingra.

Of course there’s loads of flexibility from the players beyond that.

My takeaway is that ACD is cover for March until his injury return. Not sure what to make about the left wing though. Either Osman will go out on loan or we are expecting Mitoma to leave

Apologies to those who don't subscribe. This Arsenal story on The Atheltic really caought my eye.

Arsenal, their academy and why young players are rarely getting a first-team chance

Arsenal had a poor record of exposing their young players to first-team football last season. Is it going to change in 2024-25?

There is a lot more detail but the gist is captured in this table.

One of the Arsenal two was Saka, which just shows the limited opportunities for young players, with Arteta reluctant to introduce them from the bench even when comfortably winning.

Our recruitment suggests that there is going to be a lot more rotation amongst the younger players. Last season Adringa and Buonanotte I think played too much football and have faced some fairly harsh criticism from some fans as a consequence.

I think they did play too much yes. With young players you need to be able to bring them in and out, to manager their development. We basically had no choice but to play young players when out of form and looking tired

Incredible that Arteta didn't bring any youngsters on, or even along, in the 6-0 and 5-0 wins over Sheffield Utd.

Edit: Or in the other seven games last season they won by three or more goals (yes, including the one at the Amex).

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Amario Oswald Mosely Cozier-Duberry according to Wikipedia.

Is he a right winger?

 

[Van Cleef]

Co-Du?

 

[Smirko]

Is he a right winger?

just needs the old black away shirt and he will be sorted!

[pigmanovich]

Occurs to me that Arsenal's failure to give young players more game time partly explains why their record sale is £35m.

And why they can't win anything.

You would think they would be keen to blud young players, fam.

All of this, but I think Mitoma stays. Someone will go out on loan but not until later in the window when we know who is still with us, or whether or not we've picked up any new injuries.
