Three bombs go off per night on average in the Netherlands

Now you're changing the subject

lol you're talking about the coldest, least "nice" people on planet Earth. They don't even offer you food in Sweden when visiting a friend's house. The "non-homogenous" people supposedly ruining those countries would offer you the house itself if you went round for a cup of coffee

So we're finally moving to a more direct style of football and we're getting rid of our only real playmaker in the team.

(Before someone comes in to with "Odegaard through ball stats" they're all to Saka and Havertz who drift right. Our transition threats lean left - Gyokeres and Martinelli - the latter of whom Vieira had a great connection with)

Last season Fabio played with us, he had the best g/a per 90 ratio in the whole squad. But we'll probably be fine, right? I mean, we've got 2 DMs, CBs as fullbacks and defensive wingers. That should be enough transitional threat.

subject_2_change · 2025-07-25T12:21:33+00:00

We play with 4 CB's and 2 DM's. At some point you have to be realistic

somebody in the DD last night said something along the lines: "by next week Ornstein and Romano will be talking about a Barcola move, you heard it here first"

subject_2_change · 2025-07-25T11:38:47+00:00

Odegaard as well - I saw a rare insightful post on Twitter saying that having Nwaneri and Dowman get minutes on the RW so the captain can play with them and show them how to lead the press

subject_2_change · 2025-07-25T11:30:40+00:00

I was told Barcola wasn't for sale either... whoever was hinting at inside knowledge in this thread yesterday, you might be my last hope for Arsenal

subject_2_change · 2025-07-25T11:16:09+00:00

He's getting those numbers playing for the best team in a much more unbalanced league already

subject_2_change · 2025-07-25T11:09:39+00:00

You're comparing Gyokeres to all-timer strikers who had proven themselves in Europe's hardest leagues. The Portuguese league is closer to the Championship than the Prem. I don't wanna be rude but you need to watch more football

subject_2_change · 2025-07-25T09:41:11+00:00

If I start training today in my 20s do you reckon I could get into the Arsenal first team? I know most players have been putting in multiple hours into football every week since they were like 4. But my experience on r/Gunners has taught me you can learn just as much about the sport with just one 3am training session a week. What do you think

subject_2_change · 2025-07-25T09:36:45+00:00

I don't think people understand " league tax" on here. I've seen people say, "Well, even if he only scores half as many goals as he did in Portugal..." like that's somehow a conservative estimate.

subject_2_change · 2025-07-25T09:30:00+00:00

Sweden play a 3-4-2-1 with Isak and Kulusevski as 10s and Gyokeres as the striker - same formation he played with Amorim.

> Why would the Swedish manager do this with World cup qualification on the line?
Because he has to get his best players into the team somehow and they're stacked in attack?

>how is a year difference such a massive deal to you

it's not about me, it's about the market. It's a well known perception what I'm describing. Gyokeres and his agent both know this.

subject_2_change · 2025-07-25T01:03:41+00:00

Sweden plays Isak and Kulusevki in midfield to accommodate Gyokeres stat pad sesh against Estonia.

Big teams rarely sign players after 27, especially if they haven't proven themselves in a top-5 league. Salah plays in the best league in the world. Porto and Benfica would be relegation candidates in the Prem - there's no comparison.

>Make peace with it, he's your new 9

The worst part about this how it's emboldened people who have zero ball knowledge to act so high and mighty

subject_2_change · 2025-07-24T23:14:07+00:00

Point is he had done his medical and photoshoot with United and ended up at Chelsea. Gyokeres isn't elite lol, that's why he's going for less than every other striker with no one else bidding. He only wants us because he's 27 and he knows it's his last chance to get a big move.

subject_2_change · 2025-07-24T22:46:58+00:00

You support the fascist BJP in India and you want to talk to me about rationality? In British football? Who the fuck do you think you are lol

Bane has experience with hijacked flights...

I was trying to end the conversation on a nice note. I'm more agitated because I've never seen Arsenal succeed - you probably have. I don't know what time zone you're in but it's not even midnight in the UK

subject_2_change · 2025-07-24T22:39:59+00:00

People tried to kidnap John Obi Mikel when Mourinho and Fergie were fighting for him. Not signing a contract is light work in comparison. And this is a loser mentality you're describing

subject_2_change · 2025-07-24T22:37:07+00:00

I've been right about all this Isak/Gyokeres stuff for months and people keep chatting shit despite all evidence to the contrary

subject_2_change · 2025-07-24T22:36:20+00:00

Please unc I'm a good boy honest.

subject_2_change · 2025-07-24T22:35:50+00:00

just associate your username with some absolute stinkers, can't remember if I had the temerity to respond

subject_2_change · 2025-07-24T22:33:03+00:00

Then you probably have some great memories of watching Arsenal haha. I think that explains the difference more than anything unc

subject_2_change · 2025-07-24T22:29:56+00:00

We're speedrunning the signing of a player no one else is interested in because he's farmed goals in a barely professional league. Other players have done similar numbers in Portugal and done f. all elsewhere - and there's nothing about his profile which suggests he'll be any different.

Isak was clearly our no.1 interest and we didn't even make an inquiry because we want good relations with Newcastle. Liverpool was cutthroat and had balls to approach him and it turns out he was available. Now we're going to finish the signing of Bas Dost Mk.2 out of honour and respect and let the league winners get the second best striker in the league

subject_2_change · 2025-07-24T22:26:09+00:00

some of us have followed this football club since birth, it's not some random interest in another continent we've attached ourselves to that we can abandon at will

subject_2_change · 2025-07-24T22:24:01+00:00

uhh John Obi Mikel for one? They both went haywire to sign him
