Jurrien Timber (12)

This is such a funny tweet to look at now that we know he was in London to have talks with us. :rofl:

Man Utf fans were twerking. :sob:

That’s a great price considering the market.

Yep delighted with this.

Even last year I really preferred Timber over Martinez, but he was out of reach at that time. It’s worked out perfectly for us, now.

That away kit is unreal btw.

His thread on Red Cafe is fun. They’ve done well convincing themselves he is garbage.

A year ago when ETH wanted sign him, he preferred staying at Ajax to get consistent game time. Even though our CB option where Lindelof, Maguire and a half injured Varane, he preferred the comfort of Eredevise as opposed to a new challenge.

Compare that to Licha, who was all but signed by Arsenal, but gave us a call and asked ETH to sign him up.

With that type of mentality he is going to fit right in at Arsenal

Would be wary of this signing anyway, I mean what are the chances that both the Ajax cb defenders when ETH left would just so happened to be good enough for United? not very imo.

I think it’s fair to say that we’ve got the best two already.

Nothing like a bit of Arsenal fans playing spy… EDIT: (probably fake and bait)

Is it near Colney?

Yes, but I reckon it’s fake. Probably just a bit of Twitter bait tbh

Get this one announced, our defence will be set for years! If the fee is around that rumoured 40m I think it’s a steal. :clap::clap: edu

Also reduces any concern about Saliba’s fitness for the start of the season.

Ramsdale, Saliba, White, Gabriel, Timber, Kiwior all 25 or under is very positive.

I’d have liked a couple of older heads in there though for leadership.

Quick and easily digestible comp

Just remember Pep plays with 4 CBs across the back line…

Something Arteta did first. :eyes:

He plays 3 CBs, with Stones in midfield actually.

We saw at the end od the season we tried somewhat similar, with 3 CBs (White, Gabz, Kiwi) and Partey in that hybrid RB/CM role… That’s the role Timber could take next season.

White - Saliba - Gabaz

Timber - Rice/Caicedo - Rice/???

Odegaard

Saka Jesus Martinelli’s

Or maybe

White Saliba Gabriel

Timber Rice

Ode Havertz

Saka Jesus Martinelli

:martinelli:

I thought they set up and started with 4.

Yes, they move players into different positions when in possession a lot like we do, but they set up with 4 CBs.
Yes, Partey moved into the middle, like Zinchenko did on the other side, but we do set up with 4 at the back.

I made the likeness as in the end we will probably end up doing the same, especially with this guy coming in, but we will have 4 at the back and move when in possession as for me thats where the confusion of the other side and space and overloads is made.

Did he really?

When?

Liverpool at home.

Do you get now why wanted Lisandro last summer? I remember you were one of the people adamant he wouldn’t play LB for us.
