Seriously, who knows. Did we expect the performance we see now from White and Saliba when they were signed ? Or Gabriel. It might take a season or two to really know. The build up play may change with Timber starting on the right with Califiori on left - either could move into a pivot role in build up with their passing ability. White was once a midfielder - what he does on the right wing with Saka is not replicated on the left with Martineli. I think this signing foxes that problem and gets Martinelli scoring goals again - can Califiorni replicate that Xhaka role during build up play.

Calafiori was the victim of an intentional leg breaker by a guy called Svoboda. You can't call someone "injury prone" because they've been intentionally injured, Every player is prone to having their legs broken by bad tackles. "Injury prone" are players like Darren "sick note" Anderton or Pedro Nero who plays 10 games a season...

Riccardo Calafiori is Arteta's answer to what Bayern and Porto tactically did to them in UCL last season. Where they both basically just allowed Arsenal space down the left wing or left half space because they knew Arsenal didn't have the quality to build up from deep an effective attack on that side as they can on the right. Calafiori also helps solve the problem of breaking down a low block by being more direct.

great video. thanks guys.

I am enthusiastic about the potential acquisition of Riccardo Calafiori. His deployment as a left-back could significantly bolster our defensive solidity and enhance our attacking options. Historically, some of our most critical defeats have resulted from vulnerabilities on the left flank. Since Granit Xhaka's departure, our offensive output on that side has also diminished considerably. Jakub Kiwior, who was intended to be an upgrade over Oleksandr Zinchenko, lacks the attacking impetus required for a modern fullback, being more suited to a traditional center-back role. Calafiori, with his balanced defensive and offensive capabilities, presents a promising solution to the issues we have faced on the left flank. Nevertheless, there is a potential concern. Mikel Arteta has a preference for versatile players who can perform in multiple roles. While this adaptability is commendable, it has led to some challenges. For instance, the integration of Declan Rice, capable of playing both as a number 6 and a number 8, has yet to result in a clearly defined role within the squad. Similar issues have arisen with other versatile players, leading to excessive experimentation and a lack of positional certainty. It is crucial that Calafiori's versatility does not become another source of tactical inconsistency. The preseason should serve as the testing ground for such experiments to ensure a more stable and effective deployment during the competitive season.

Some of those defenders are gonna become wingers, midfilders arteta is great with youngsters ben white is so underrated , could definitely play cdm or even an 8 love this versatile thing arteta has done with the squad

Transfer strategy: Remember Arteta really hated Lisandro Martinez at that Left side of defence. This didn't work out cos Zinchenko was a back up plan. Timber was a decent option but got injured in his first game. It could be argued that Arteta is still looking for a perfect fit in that position

I dare anyone to say the first 4 seconds of this video three times fast

I think this guy will help push Martinelli into the box more when Calafiori is playing at left back . We’re wasting Martinelli too wide , he is not the best 1v1 winger , he is better at finishing. Him in and around the box his goal numbers will definitely go up.

Riccardo Calafiori will definitely be an Arsenal player. He is naturally a centre back, but he can be a left full back. My fellow Arsenal fans,shouldn't worry. He will join us.

These guys are talking like Arteta bought a lot of players to play LB when in fact it's just 2 and 1 of them is Tavares. Also Zinchenko was playing with an injury last season that's why Kiwior came in for those few games.

Its been the same with Ben White, Trossard, Tomiyasu, Xhaka and others all of whom demonstrated attributes that are useful in the team but not necessarily in the positions they were playing.

I don’t feel like he’ll be playing CB I foresee him playing left back. Similar to how we transitioned Ben white to the right

If he sells for a figure, that is the true market value.

If he won’t start he can give much needed rest time for Gabriel and Timber. This should be the way. The bench should be strong enough to start ahead of players playing. Kiwior we can get $20 mil Zinchenko not good against top 4 sides.

26:10 “we can talk about the money-side all we want…” yes we can. And we Should. The argument that follows is whether Artera will be like Klopp and challenge in cycles, or more consistent like Pep. Well. To be consistent like Pep, you have to break the rules allegedly 115 times. Mind you, it’s the very own League that they play in that has charged them. Pep has been able to buy a player for £50-100m and try them out for 1 season, then buy their replacement the next season if it doesn’t work out. On multiple positions. Sure, he’s probably one of the best coaches/managers in the world. But we will never be able to fairly judge him considering the referee scandals in Spain and the financial fraud in England.

While he is exciting. He does leave a hole in the back. I would not play him against good counter attacking sides or transitional teams. Good player but a gamble.

Arsenal's transfer strategy seems to be ... "Who can we sign to drop our xGA to 4 goals a season and our control to 99%." It is sensible, it's helped them a lot (as it should for the net spend)... but it's getting incredibly tedious. I have gone from liking the approach to being woefully bored of it as a neutral.

Why is Joe Devine sounding so posh! ( Or some one trying that accent ). Reminds me of the Key and Peele skit about local customs.

FM 2025 new feature -> New role for centerback -> roaming playmaker

Arteta does not know how to manage a squad so that the players do not get tired by the end of the season. They also have difficulties selling players he has brought in. Who has he actually signed that has turned out to be reallt good for Arsenal Odegaard? Rice? Ben White ? Kai Havertz ? Everyone else has not been worth it spent so much money on Fabio Veira , Kiwior , Tomiyasu and so on. His main players in the squad weren't even bought by him and he has failed to develop any of the youth from the Arsenal academy. Edu has accountability in this too failing to sell players for years and when they do sell they are severely underpriced.

First time watch from 🇿🇦SA, love the show. 🙏🏼

My question is "WHY ARE WE SELLING KIWOR?"?

Beautiful head of hair too 😉

He is the next maldini

Have Joe Devine and Klamer ever been seen in the same room at the same time?
