The links to Rice and Caicedo make sense now. Partey is the least mobile African midfielder of all time. The guy cannot run any more, Arsenal should look to move off of him in the summer.
Need to get BOTH Caicedo and Rice. Caicedo for his capacity to be the guy that does what Zinny does + value defensively (Reason Lisandro Martinez was No. 1 option) + other role usage.
Rice to succeed Partey.
I'd keep Jorginho for one more season in case. High end Elneny.
Had a rethink and I now believe Caicedo can play at 5 positions in our system. RB, LB, 6, RCM, LCM. I now understand the reports saying that we want both him and Declan Rice. Makes a lot of sense, actually. Bulletproofs the team's buildup.
I don't know if anyone saw it but Rodri struggled AGAIN to win his duels against Liverpool attackers in the transition. Could have been sent off before halftime.
At the very highest level, I don't want a holding midfielder who can't reliably win duels against good players.
Funny enough, this would have been the season that Zinchenko got his chance had he stayed at City.
They've had to use Rico, Walker, Stones as the proto holding midfielder and Bernardo Silva from LB.
Stay close, stay together. The only people that will have your back are your COMMUNITY.
If you got to the bottom of this. Happy New Year & I wish you your greatest ever year. 2023 will be a special one 🥂
I was dreading going to the gym to start the year. Gyms are way too packed this time of year. I just want to do a quick 50-minute workout and go. And just like I expected, I checked my app and there were 147 people in the gym. I was FUMING.
Queen Elizabeth passed and COVID is still knocking. Shit, a soft drink at Nandos is basically £4 now. We’re close to doomsday. No one knows what will happen next.
