@SelectaDonn We also needed to move on too.

Those Barca transfer saga was a pain.

Mikel Arteta ended up being Cesc Fabregas replacement that summer window, club bringing Arteta + Mertesacker as deadline day panic buys days after 8-2 loss & losing 4 of the first 7 PL games in 2011/12.

[Marrirez ✪ @Marrirez]

@SelectaDonn A La Masia boy whose entire Spain teammates played for Barca & Madrid, all La Liga players.

Cesc had opportunity to join Barca at their peak, peak La Liga to play under his idol Pep.

Or

Stay as Arsenal captain with top 4 being the target, no ambition to compete for the title

@BoehlyBanterEra @TotalFootEcon @TheSecretScout_ Again, I didn't say they were same level.

However noise surrounding them similar.

Dowman ahead at same age.

2 different mold of players.

Munoz closer to old school no.10, great goal threat from distance, quick feet.

Dowman general play better, much better athlete + dribbler.

[Marrirez ✪ @Marrirez]

@TotalFootEcon @TheSecretScout_ For the U16s Luis Munoz is making the same noise as Max Dowman was.

Munoz started this season at 13, Max played slightly more at early 14.

Munoz different type of no.10, goal machine, long range shots, insane goal catalogue in his age.

Max more close control, dribbler.

[Marrirez ✪ @Marrirez]

@TotalFootEcon @TheSecretScout_ ????
So your assuming he's not better so he doesn't get overhyped?

Why are you even comparing him to Max Dowman.

Luis Munoz got U19 debut at 13 early this season, playing just 1 min.

He's played 1 game for U18s (9 mins), scoring a 94th min equaliser on debut.

He's still U16.

@lfcynwa799 Gabriel + Saliba were Ligue 1 built.

Ligue 1 physicality mixed with having so many dynamic wingers & forwards make it a great development league for young CB.

Arteta tried to sign Jeremy Jacquet last summer, fans were crying about it being another CB.

Liverpool got a gem.

[Marrirez ✪ @Marrirez]

@STA1Butler Barcola!

People crying his finishing isn't elite.

As if any of our forward line finishing elite.

Barcola is 23...

He had 42 G/A in PSG treble season at 22.

He was PSG topscorer in Ligue 1 + 6 G/A in UCL this season.

Elite talent, elite dribbler, lightning quick, xG magnet.

Shock horror...

A rich owner who made his money selling filth & degeneracy has serious allegations...

A man who had a child with a porn star who he was with 25 years... who just 5 years ago made her a board member of West Ham...

That man has no morals or boundaries.

West Ham joint chairman David Sullivan steps down after "serious historic allegations", club says https://t.co/PMGYcO3uX8

[Marrirez ✪ @Marrirez]

@kxsmo Wenger ball & it's a season that required an All-timer individual season from RVP to get into top 4.

A season where Arsenal lost 4 of the first 7 PL games including 8-2 to Man U.

Only positive was after 8-2 loss Arsenal signed Arteta + Mertesacker as deadline day panic buys.

[Marrirez ✪ @Marrirez]

@Solo9iii O'Brien dunked on his team in that 3-3 game...

His only goal this season to...

On a serious note...

Pep has allowed guys like this to think they have some sort of football authority & superiority...

[Marrirez ✪ @Marrirez]

@UxbEconomist07 The fact you started your count from Chelsea 1st titles in 2005 + 2006.

But not counting Arsenal titles from 1998, 2001, 2004.

Football didn't begin after Abramovich financial doping.

Chelsea have 1 more PL despite Roman financial doping.

Arsenal 14 league titles, Chelsea 6.

[Marrirez ✪ @Marrirez]

@hellowelcomepod @TacoBellCanada Those holding onto that 2019 Championship core needed to let go.

The group could not move on & reset.

Siakam was what Pacers needed after they already drafted well & had development reps & were an emerging young team with exciting talent + depth.

Raptors did not have that...

[Marrirez ✪ @Marrirez]

@hellowelcomepod @TacoBellCanada Takes like this is void of context.

We are a play-in team if we kept Siakam & no depth trying to win.

Siakam would play & command max.

We also would not have had Jakobe or had development reps for Jakobe, Shead, Gradey, Battle.

Nor Scottie reps too.

Also no CMB either...

[Marrirez ✪ @Marrirez]

@ONll7i £25m for RVP who was 29, very limited window to maximise him.

Arsenal weren't in title challenge territory & he would have been washed when club could finally spend.

Win-win sale.

Arsenal got better, Cazorla-Giroud-Podolski were key in Arsenal ending a 9 year trophy drought.

[Marrirez ✪ @Marrirez]

@ONll7i RVP was 29, injury prone, 1 yr left on his deal = £25m.

Arsenal replaced his production immediately.

Arsenal spent £31m on:
Cazorla 12m
Podolski 10m
Giroud 9m.

Cazorla had 12 PL goals, 12 assist in debut PL season.
Podolski 11 PL goals, 9 assists
Giroud 11 PL goals, 5 assists.

RUN IT BACK 👑

[Marrirez ✪ @Marrirez]

@FYVidsV10 There is literally a clip in here implying Gabriel Jesus faked an injury 2x.

He hurt his knee in the first instance.

He then tore his ACL in the clip when he nudged Bruno just outside the box.

Also claiming Havertz handballed is beyond shameless.

Red was correct, pen wasn't.

[Marrirez ✪ @Marrirez]

There are enough examples.

Henry wasn't scoring goals, let alone finish.

Barcola is 23...

He had 21 goals, 21 assists season during PSG treble winning season previous year.

Salah age 25, Alexis age 24, Vini age 22 were when they became elite, but they had the attributes.

[DS🇲🇽🏆 @Arti11ero]

Has a player ever successfully improved their finishing to really make a difference? I feel like finishing is just one of those things that you either have or you don’t

[Marrirez ✪ @Marrirez]

You do realise he wasn't a Chelsea player but had a trial period there.

He did the exact same thing at Tottenham & Arsenal.

His parents then had to choose which of the clubs they wanted him to commit to & picked Arsenal.

This is like Fulham fan claiming Reece James...

[Santos @Santoss_CFC]

“hale end” una

[Marrirez ✪ @Marrirez]

@AfcLawd You don't just gain those attributes.

Doku at 17-18 was rapid & explosive winger.

I'm sure he was that when he was younger than that.

He was already a 1 v 1 monster back then and looking like a future superstar in the 2020 Euro's 5 years ago.

Doku end product did not improve
