Player spotlight 💡

Kerim Alajbegović ⚡️🇧🇦 | Kerim continues to show why he is one of the most exciting young wingers in Europe, combining dynamic 1.86 physical tools with lethal ambipedal finishing and fearless direct dribbling.

At just 18, his trajectory highlights a forward with immense tactical versatility and genuine match-winning potential. Already establishing himself as a creative force and a set-piece specialist, his ceiling suggests a future world-class attacker capable of anchoring any elite fluid system.

While Arsenal are on the verge of signing Jeremy Monga seems like with the new links to E.Mbemba, sounds like we are reinforcing the floor of the youth team.

Reassuring to understand it was metric and Micheli driven.

While we are at it…

I would recommend one more winger name.

Jesse Bisiwu. A highly talented 18-year-old Belgian winger playing for Club Brugge's reserve side, Club NXT. Nicknamed the "Contortionist," his profile is defined by blistering pace, exceptional agility, and sharp 1v1 dribbling that allows him to cut inside effectively from the left flank.

@billycarpy Hey Billy , this is brilliant topic at hand leading down biomechanics and how this affects technique. Funnily enough i have quantified this below as expected Pose (xP). Check it out..

Don’t price the guy out of a decent move.

You can not justify £80m when Anderson is in the same market for £100m.

Realistically it has to be around £60-70.

[Dom Smith @MrDomSmith]

West Ham internally believe Mateus Fernandes can go on to become one of the “best players in the world” within one to two years and have set an aspirational £80m asking price for him. #WHUFC

PSG faces a low block in virtually every domestic Ligue 1 match they play, translating to roughly 75% to 80% of their total games across a full season.

Aston Villa’s relationship with the low block is completely different from PSG’s. While PSG faces a low block out of pure obligation because teams are terrified of them.

Aston Villa is a team that actively tries to bait opponents out of playing a low block.  Villa faces an intentional low block much less frequently roughly 30% to 40% of their games, typically only against bottom tier PL sides fighting for survival, or in specific home fixtures where a lower-table side is content playing for a 0-0 draw.

For a total football team you have a player like Barcola who time & time again finds himself in the final 3rd.

Almost inevitably.

Decision making in shooting can be fixed but the athelticism, blind runs, pausa and PnP…can’t coached as easily.

Rogers is PnP beast generates thar battering ram runs with space in front of him on a break.. but can he adapt to have more micro touches and link with players around a set block…remains to be seen.

@DataMB_ for the 📊

If the choice is one. I think i know mine.

[Kash @kashONdaCounter]

Scouting Goal keepers is an intriguing niche….

- how quickly do they get down covering near and far post drilled shots
- repeat save actions , reflexes
- quick scans to set ball into space
- touches and reverse passing long+ short
- starting position when up against counters
- concentration over time

Theres a ton more but i am looking at some of these categories refining the GK scouting knowledge, interesting stuff.

Player spotlight💡

Dženan #Pejčinović | Emerging as a clinical offensive standout despite playing in a struggling side, this forward excels at converting high probability chances inside the box with his devastating left foot. His imposing 188 cm frame gives him an elite aerial presence, making him an ideal target man capable of robust hold-up play and dominating central defenders on the end of crosses. 

While he lacks elite top end speed over vast distances, his sharp short-burst acceleration allows him to react instantly to loose markers in tight spaces.

Combined with highly mature spatial awareness, this quick burst makes him a constant threat to drop deep, link play, or anchor the attack.

[Kash @kashONdaCounter]

Hes about to go Bournemouth or another progressive club.

😭 its okay, as long as one of Kroupi, Esposito or kofane comes.

[Kash @kashONdaCounter]

Player spotlight💡

Alvaro #Rodriguez| Displaying an impressive offensive output relative to his peers, this forward excels at generating a high volume of quality shots, both created independently and won through genuine 1v1 dribbling ability. His imposing aerial presence makes him highly effective in hold-up play and dangerous on the end of crosses in the box.

While not explosively quick, his long strides allow him to act as a reliable outlet capable of making strong runs in behind the defense once he builds momentum.

Coupled with solid out-of-possession work and a rapidly developing capacity as a facilitator evidenced by his rising assist metrics he profiles as a highly versatile and increasingly complete attacking threat.

[Kash @kashONdaCounter]

Shouldnt really sell. I really love the profile.

But everyone has a price and if its north of £70mil we should be tempted.

[Nicolò Schira @NicoSchira]

#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

[Kash @kashONdaCounter]

If this happens and we see Palestra come in..

I am confident and doubling down on what i said last year.

We are moving to a 3 ATB formation. Or at the very least Mikel will be giving it a go.

🚨 Arsenal are following left-back Nathaniel Brown (22), with Bayern Munich also interested. He is expected to leave Eintracht Frankfurt this summer. 👋🇩🇪 [@SebSB]

Vasilije Novičić 🇷🇸🎯| Continues to show why he is one of the most promising teenage deep-lying playmakers in Eastern Europe, combining elite technical vision and tempo dictating passing with a maturity that has already seen him captain FK IMT. 

Only 18 years old, his masterclass performances in the Serbian Super Liga highlight a structural anchor with immense system fit upside and genuine game winning potential from dead ball scenarios.

[Kash @kashONdaCounter]

Has had a strong season will get a big move soon.

Needs to improve on his cross catching to take his game up a gear.
