Takehiro Tomiyasu: Takehiro Today, Injured Tomorrow

[Trilly]

Might be worth threadmarking.

 

[Geofranco]

I don’t see anyone mentioning Chambers as an alternative. Has he finally like Bruce Willis in 6th sense realized that is he actually dead, horrifically murdered by Jefferson Montero in 2014, and departed to an ethereal plain where slow fullbacks with the personality of dishwater are treasured?

I always forget that Chambers is an Arsenal player. He has been here for so long, but still doesn't seem like he ever was an Arsenal player to me. He does have that face and gait of a typical English defender who will get bamboozled by a quick and tricky winger.

Good enough English.

And I'm sure Japanese doesn't use the word "buzzing".

He'll certainly give us the effort and the bite in defense. Don't think he'll give a lot of attacking output on his own, but for sure hope he unlocks the likes of Pepe / Ødegaard / ESR down the right side.

 

[Barry]

Sounds like he's a company man. Won't be giving social media sass like Özil or the French boys. Good to have a bit of class and professionalism back, hopefully he doesn't get played as a striker though!

I like the "I'm an intelligent player"-part, Kola couldn't claim it

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Might be worth threadmarking.

Lovely interview actually. He's very matter of fact and down to earth and gave Simple, direct answers to all the questions. Asked about his traits, he says he's two footed, can play in any position and is intelligent! No swagger, just fact. So far, so good. If he keeps this up, we can dispense with Chambers and sell Bellerin.

Good English too, I like the signing, I said it back when we got him and I thought he did well against Norwich.

Again whilst I've not been impressed with Arteta overall I will say when I think he's done something right, this guy, Ødegaard and Lokonga do look good.

Good stuff.

 

[Atlas]

Really looking forward to seeing him in our next game. This has the feeling of the beginning of a long term love relationship.

 

[TinFish]

Might be worth threadmarking.

This is a well rehearsed and scripted interview.

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

Handsome feller, with a good leap for ze headers. In UTGs book this is nothing else but a shrewd pickup in a difficult maaarket.

 

[El Duderino]

Handled a very physical game well today. Still need to see him against proper opposition, but both him and Gabriel did really well to cover for White.

Handled a very physical game well today. Still need to see him against proper opposition, but both him and Gabriel did really well to cover for White.

Didn't McNeil spend the first half on his wing and get absolutely nowhere. Might not be world class but he is one of the more dangerous wingers outside the top 6 teams.

 

[boonthegoon]

Loving how he has settled in right away. Have to see against better opposition. Next week nld will be a good test.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

Looking very promising so far.

 

[LG10]

The reaction to this signing was embarrassing, one of the best value deals this summer.

 

[AberGooner]

Not really worried about what he does going forward as we very rarely attack down that side anyway. Looks a brilliant defender who will put in a shift. A solid 7/10 every week. Dependable.

 

[MaraDon]

Solid.
Very Azpilicueta like.

 

[OnlyOne]

Is he injured?

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

I like him a lot so far. Reminds me a lot of Sagna! Hopefully, we will be able to enable our left-back a lot more as the season progresses!

 

[Arsenal1508]

He looks like the right back version of Nacho Monreal.

Solid man - strong, fast, and technical. Looks more like a 50 million sigining than Ben White. Glad we got him.
