Lokonga for Partey is extremely suss right now. Even Elneny stepped up better at the back end of the season. For now these backups for Partey are reliable for maybe 4/5 games max. Lokonga has so much to prove
A young central player would appear to be the very last thing that we need. Between Odegaard, ESR and Lokonga, we have more than enough development happening in this area. If he can play wide, add Saka and Martinelli to that list.
If he plays like Aouar though and can partner Partey or Xhaka, then he might be a shrewd signing. Josh told me to BE EXCITED - I’m not.
Very interesting stats…based on this maybe we should be going all out for Gakpo on the left wing…
Martinelli/Gakpo …Odegaard/ESR…Saka/Viera
That’s one hell of a young attacking line up!
@GC-Maniac @Bl1nk …what do you think?
That graphic also reiterates how fucking quality Trent is.
It’s not just Trent being a natural baller though - Klopp deserves credit for absolutely weaponising him. But to come out so on top as a bloody RB and in the hardest league…he’s a fucking top player.
Said no one ever.
I believe that he’s ready for it.
“VIEIRA WOAH, VIEIRA WOAH, HE COMES FROM PORTUGAL, HE PLAYS FOR ARSENAL”
No rumours
No discussions on if he’ll fit
Just signed out the blue how I like it
chefs kiss
Done deal? And is he any good?
All young Portugueses these days are good.
Not sure we need another creative midfielder but for that fee we can’t pass on. Somehow Arteta is building the kind of team Wenger used to build around 2007-2010 where he stacked every AM he could into the line-up
A PLAYER SIGNED!?!?
FINALLY, YESS!!!
I have absolutely zero clue who this guy is, now let’s check his fifa stats and watch some clips and start to build THE HYPE!!
C’MON GUYS!! IT’S HAPPY TRANSFER TIME!!
Edit
He’s a CAM, similar profile to Odegaard, wtf? Do we really need to spend a big chunk of our budged on a CAM? Unless Arteta sees hum as a replacement for Xhaka in that 8 role, but he’s a mainly attacking player… I guess he’s going full on Pep.
Agree mate
I’m just picturing Arteta wandering the Colney halls stopping passers by and telling them how much he loves Vieira.
Showing them lenghty YouTube clips on his phone
Shit haircuts is hopefully the only commonality him and Ceballos have.
Great signing
Well if the best poster on the forum says that I’m in.
I didn’t say it
