I trust Assteta to get the best out of this rough diamond. Im glad its in Asstetas hands. Had it been the job of the old past it french fart Wenger to train and nurture this raw talent i would have been very worried. Mainly because Wenger should have been sacked in 2016 and some might argue he could have been sacked way before. I mean, its not for nothing people called him Arsene Mugabe.
No he wonāt. This is the equivalent of bigweng on Cabellos.
Heās a very talented player Stroller.
Talent wise he certainly trumps Tierney.
Rapid, great stamina, can use both feet, can dribble, can cross and he has even shown some threat in the box.
Unfortunately his biggest downfall here is his unpredictability. I think thatās the last thing Arteta wants in his team, especially from his defenders.
I think heās gone within the next year.
I remember people trying this rhetoric on Kola.
He is young enough to improve, maybe.
Probably abroad long term but heās not going too be a special talent.
He canāt read the game yet or time a tackle consistently.
Letās take it a step at a time and leave twitter nerds convince themselves that day is night.
I remember watching some practice video of Ox, and he was absolutely hitting lasers into upper 90 from outside the boxā¦ buuuuttt it didnāt translate to game very wellā¦ also, that quote says nothing about accuracy lolā¦ maybe he smashes itā¦ into the stands.
I donāt think heās anything like Kola tbh.
Kola was very one footed. He wasnāt a good carrier of the ball or fast enough either.
Again, just to clarify, I donāt think Nuno makes it here.
But from a talent perspective he has the tools.

There was a time when kola pace was a big thing with people on here.

Glad I wasnāt around. 
Tavares is genuinely one of the worst top flight football players Iāve ever seen. He has absolutely no football ability.
Thereās no untapped potential there. Heās just flat out shit.

Pretty positive you praised him quite a lot earlier in the season.
What changed?
Being able to kick a ball hard is not talent. And even Arteta doesnāt seem too keen on him, dude would rather play our other players out of position at LB then Nuno.
Yeah, I donāt think thatās because of his talent though.
Heās too unpredictable which a micromanager like Mike wonāt accept.
I also do think that maybe deep down there is something resembling talent inside him. He did manage to keep Tierney on the bench for a handful of games earlier in the season.
I am not to fussed about him since he only cost us something like ā¬8M. The best that I think we can do with him is to loan him out to an āeasierā league for the next season, and then either get rid of him or give him another chance depending on how he performs.
Yeah, I think thatās a likely scenario.
Loan, hopefully he impresses and get 10-15m back for him.
Itās gonna be the same for Pepe too.
His biggest downfall is he has no football intelligence whatsoever. Heās a massive liability.

If only being fast and having a powerful shot was enough to be a good footballer. The 6 inches between his ears is where he is lacking. And I donāt think that can be coached cause when it comes to crunch time, he will revert to type and do something stupid.
Tbf, I elaborated in a further post what I meant with the untapped potential bit.
But I donāt disagree with your argument. He is an odd cat for sureā¦
Yeah I remember for a little while we were stoked with him. I think he made a few hard bastard Brexit challenges early on here which tricked us into thinking he could defend.
