🚨 BREAKING: Pep Guardiola shocks Arsenal with bold Manchester United title prediction: “I would put my money on Untied and Michael Carrick.”
🗣️ Pep Guardiola: “Arsenal are the defending champions, and of course you have to respect what they have achieved. But if you ask me today who I believe will win the Premier League, I would choose Manchester United.
Their attack is simply more dangerous. Arsenal have quality, they can control games and they can dominate possession, but when it comes to the final third, I don't think they are on the same level as United.
Manchester United have players who can change a game in seconds. They have pace, unpredictability and the ability to punish you when you give them even the smallest opportunity.
Arsenal can play beautiful football, but beautiful football doesn't always win you the Premier League. You need goals. You need players who can decide matches.
And honestly, I think United have more of that right now.
If Arsenal don't improve their attack, they could be defending champions today and watching somebody else lift the trophy at the end of the season.”
Arsenal legend Thierry Henry on Arsenal forward Viktor Gyökeres after the preseason game against Dortmund:
🗣️ Thierry Henry: “I have to admit it, if we want to defend the Premier League title this season or even win the Champions League, we need to sign a quality striker. For me, Gyökeres isn’t the striker we need. He’s not good in the air, and his link-up play doesn’t sit well with me.
This game against Dortmund just justified it. He had a very bad game, and this match wasn’t the only time he has gotten away with a lot. We’ve been seeing it all last season, so I think Mikel Arteta and the Arsenal board should be gunning for a finisher and an all-round striker like Julián Álvarez, who would definitely complete this Arsenal jigsaw.”
🚨PAUL SCHOLES: “ARSENAL MUST SIGN A CLINICAL STRIKER BEFORE THE SEASON STARTS.”
🗣️ Paul Scholes: “Listen, Arsenal are a fantastic team, but there is one thing they are still missing in the forward position, a truly clinical, all-round striker.
They need someone who can do a lot more than just score goals. Someone who can create chances, take chances, link the play, bring others into the game and still be in the right place when the big moment comes.
Kai Havertz can give you a lot. He understands positioning, he can attack space and he can contribute in different areas. But Arsenal need another level of consistency in front of goal.
And honestly, with Viktor Gyökeres ... I'm sorry, but I don't see it. He's too limited for what Arsenal need. He's a penalty-box player who waits for opportunities rather than creating them. At this level, you cannot afford to have a striker who disappears when the game becomes difficult.
If Arsenal are serious about winning the Premier League, they cannot keep hoping someone will suddenly become clinical. They need to go into the market and get a striker who can create the chance AND bury it.
Because let's be honest, Arsenal don't have a midfield problem anymore. They don't have a defensive problem.
Their biggest question is whether their forwards can actually finish the job.
And if they don't solve that before the season starts, they might once again dominate the football... and watch somebody else lift the trophy.” 🔥
Season 2 of The Agency is sheer Cinema. Dear God. My list of summer television is long & includes finishing Cape Fear, Sugar Season 2, Silo Season 3, and Widow’s Bay. But my dad actually called me last week & told me The Agency needs to cut the line. Three episodes into S2 & I’m blown away. Michael Fassbender is so, so good here. My full review coming this week.
