I don't see him leaving as disastrous given the depth that we have on the wings.
But I don't see it happening now for one simple reason. There are an awful lot of other wingers out there who would be willing to sit on Arsenal's bench, could contribute to the extent that they want, and would...
Why? If we can, they can too. The main thing holding them back is the small stadium but we know that doesnt impact PL income that much anymore.
We have similar, predominantly lower league histories. We both have rich owners willing to invest both in players and club infrastructure. We both have...
I think they'll turn it around and finish lower mid table again. Dyche is wily enough and we're only two games in, there's always a team who starts slow and recovers and a team that starts well but drops.
Disappointingly Fulham seem to be making good transfer moves now, I thought they might be...
One thing I noticed - he kept stopping himself rather than making the overlapping run past Mitoma. Several opportunities to do this but he would stop and go inside instead. Don't know if this was on instruction or because he's instinctually right sided?
Not sure that we're good value for that lead, but I'll take it.
Defending solidly but that first pass out of defence into midfield keeps missing, putting us under pressure.
Minteh more of a threat than Mitoma, João Pedro looking quiet.
Bring Wieffer, Kadioglu, O'Riley and Rutter into this...
Ugh, my stream just came on. Its the US coverage, so lots of dramatic music and vacuous punditry. Naturally the first question from the interviewer is "FABIAN, YOURE ONLY 31! HOW ABOUT THAT HUH?"
Looking at the Man United team, we can certainly compete. Our front line is better than theirs...
Why no trust in Baleba? RDZ was reluctant to trust him and now we're seeing Milner-Gilmour ahead of him? Does he train badly or struggle to follow complicated instructions?
Concerned about that midfield duo, and Hinshelwood at LB again, though with Barco on loan, Pervis injured and Kadioglu yet...
I sometimes think about this. What a stroke of luck that, as a kid my grandad (born and bred in Yorkshire but lived in Sussex for years) used to be able to get free tickets to the Withdean because he knew the club physio.
Now, 25 years later I'm indoctrinated and the run down little club in...
At the risk of derailing the thread I'm not sure what you're trying to disprove. The point I was making is where these players grew up is not the nation that they represent, there was no inherent judgment in that either, just mentioning that we've had several players in this category. O'Riley...
Sarmiento was born in Spain, moved to London aged 7. Then was in the Charlton academy before being picked up by Benfica, released and then picked up by us.
He's been around, that kid.
We've got/recently had several of these.
O'Riley - a London Dane
Lamptey - a London Ghanaian
Sarmiento - a London Ecuadorian
Alzate - a London Colombian
McGill - a Sussex Canadian
Slight variation:
Chouchane - a Parisian Tunisian
Dahoud - a Monchengladbach Syrian
Just to grow up in one...
