Very fair. thanks for educating me. Guardiolas #2 is huge tbh.
I also feel like, of the types of players that tend to convert best to managers, itās usually the organising central midfielders, 6/8 types, as with Guardiola and Conte, or versatile types who played a number of different roles, like Luis Enrique (and Conte as well). Both descriptions fit Arteta, as not only was he versatile in terms of adapting to a number of different leagues and tactical styles, but also positions (played on the wing, played as a #10, played as an 8, and played as a 6).
All of this could mean nothing, because in the end whether youāre a top manager or not is basically just down to who you are as a person and playing experience really isnāt that important, but if I were a betting man and based on what I can deduce/have seen from Arteta as a person I would be betting on him.
You know what when it comes to manager perception I truely just havent got a clue.
I automatically recognise the managers at top clubs, but there are probably far better managers in lesser leagues/teams, and equally i tend to rate managers of teams i like.
Good example is my adoration of Pulis at Crystal Palace. Couldnt stand him or credit him until he worked with them, and I only like them because of where Iām from.
Wenger is however the only manager ive taken time to truely follow, so make of that what you will.
Well in 9 months time heāll be a PL winning coach
Full video, proper good bloke is Per.
Iām pretty confidant per can come in and we will barely miss mustafi
Brilliant header from Big Per! His first goal in the PL in under 4 years :per:
When Per is making faces at the front page of the CNN :per:
Per is a legend but he really shouldnāt play for us again. Should be Holding or Chambers getting the minutes
Agreed, hate it when he steals their minutes, heās ancient now, should just be a dressing room speaker
Yeah just hang up ze boots big man. Was a rock for us during his time here, his awareness and positioning was second to none. But now is the time to call it a day.
He is?
Like as of right now
Aah I see. Tbf not his fault Wenger picks him
4 - the number of minutes it takes him to turn around
Just like Wenger honestly should have gone out on a high winning the FA cup
This is just sad shit to see.
Such a liability now, yes heās capable of getting away with it if properly protected but shouldnāt be near the team. Get him out there at Colney by all means but I do hope thatās the last we see of him in the 1st team.
Really interesting read.
