@jackbarsenal My bigger concern is, if he came to us, whether we can fashion anywhere near the number of chances PSG can for him.
I watched that comp of all his 25/26 shots and like 70% are him running in behind in transition
It’s good. But it lacks any charm or real story that the best Nike ads did.
Instead it’s basically relying on the (admittedly incredible) cast list.
Prefer Adidas though. This leaves me a little cold.
@alexfrco@billycarpy Not Doku?
Maybe it's simplistic, but his stocky frame, incredible feet, and surprisingly good upper body strength all remind me of JD
@naphtrax Oh, I think I'm more excited about this than I should be.
He's a great talent but realistically probably a while away from making a meaningful impact on the team
@sthsthburner What are your thoughts on Barcola in particular?
Looks like he's the highest level LW on the market and has some elite qualities, but I feel like he'd also frustrate the hell out of me too
Watching a bit more of him, could imagine MLS - Rice and Zubi - Bouaddi both being some nice complementary pairs.
Do also like his ability to fill in at RB, esp if White stays another season and we don't go big there.
@alexfrco@mulletrider Yeah I don’t see him going because I’m not sure there’s a realistic landing spot as you say.
But can totally imagine him not being an automatic starter and being used more when we have teams penned back (cf. Newcastle and West Ham (A))
@mulletrider@alexfrco I think I do too (even have a Cala shirt).
But I do think it's interesting thinking about his potential price – because he definitely has one, in a way Rice, Saliba, etc don't.
#RealMadrid have asked info for Riccardo #Calafiori (born in 2002) in the last days. No talks ongoing with #Arsenal yet, but genuine interest. Josè #Mourihho knows and appreciates him since they were at AS Roma together. First approaches started. #transfers#AFC
@mulletrider@alexfrco Basically feel that Rice, Saka, and Saliba (potentially big Gabi) should be given all the time they need to heal properly post WC. Plus need to be careful with Timber, Kai, Odegaard.
Alas think they'll all be starting Game Week 2.
