Premier League 2019/20 Gameweek 6

Maybe, I thought Sven trusted Sokratis and went for experience over potential at the time.

Our signings under Sven and this window have been very questionable tbf. It has maybe put us back a few years in our quest for PL trophy.

Pundit : what does Maddison have to do to get the England shirt from Southgate?

Joe Cole: just give him the shirt

People like Joe Cole need to be part of the England set up.

 

[Fewtch]

You think? If anything you'd think he was a Sven target given he was playing in the Bundesliga. We probably opted for Sokratis instead as Caglar ended up costing quite a bit.

Yup

Speaking to Turkish-Football, Dogru said: "Sven Mislintat has been keen on Caglar since he was at Borussia Dortmund. He first scouted him back in Germany. Sven is interested in Caglar.

There are concrete talks, all that remains is for a fee to be agreed. We will see what happens next.

It's somewhat of a similar case to Luiz/Upamecano imo.

We probably wanted both. But ended up signing the experienced one instead given how much the younger one cost. In these scenarios I don't blame the club for going with experience.

@OnlyOne had his pants down for this player too.

Destined to be crap.

Just seen this. Still can’t believe we missed out on that gem. I reiterate I’m a very strong poster, rarely wrong.

Neither, people also assume we’ll get him in Jan and have a pairing of Saliba and Upa next year, as good as they could be 0 PL games and aged what 21 and 19?

Luiz and Holding next year probably.

btw, @yousif_arsenal, I consider Son to be a good player, but I do think Sp**s can look back at some chances where Kane should have done better and also regarding Son, he will have to be a little careful, imo, because at times in this one it seemed to me that his eyes only seemed to be on goal and not so much on teamwork and linking up / teeing up of other players where that was perhaps a better option.

 

[GDeep™]

Compare this to how our bum manager started against Sp**s?

 

[Toby]

We were after him and all but that homeless stench Sven thought otherwise.

Söyüncü cost twice the money Sokratis did and he had a horrible, horrible first season at Leicester. Pretty clear Arsenal wanted someone a) cheaper and b) established and experienced to reinforce the backline, which made sense at the time given Koscielny's age and injury woes.

Yeah ofc, I’m not arguing the decision. It was correct.

 

[kraphtous]

In fact it was because of Mislintat that we were interested in the first place

Someone then must've suggested a more experienced option (and cheaper) so he went for Sokratis. At the end of the day, Mislintat was just a head scout, he couldn't sign the players he wanted. That's why he wanted to become Technical Director.

Did he even play for the first team at all last season? Can't remember a single game.

We were outplaying Sp**s until Sokratis made mistake ww created many chances against them and its unfair that ended with 2-2

So unfair and unlucky?

 

[Iceman10]

Pre-season predictions for Kevin De Bruyne being PL best player look good. Outstanding quality.

 

[NieThePiet]

City already 2:0 after 6 minutes against Watford.

City already 2:0 after 6 minutes against Watford.

Looks like Watford aren't the prime Barcelona we made them look last week.

 

[Ewarwoowar]

Farg Man City playing a blinder against world class Watford

 

[Pepes blue pill]

City finished Watford of within 6 minutes, make me more mad about last weeks performance

 

[rich 1990]

Watford are dreadful really.
