Arteta In by November
Country: USA
Player:Ødegaard
Even if he is announced today, no chance of playing vs Chelsea in the friendly right?
I guess Ben White is a project player though, I don't think we're expecting him to come in and improving us right away rather than he's gonna be a mainstay for the next decade.
This is how I view it as well, makes our possession game better which means less time spent defending in the first place. I don’t see him as a guy who is better defensively than anyone we have.A project player that will vastly improve our game going forward instantly. Will probably be similar in defence which is fine.
Saliba was already done tbh, no future for him here unless Arteta gets sacked. Might as well give the #4 to White.
He ain’t gonna vastly improve anything he’s not better than Luiz or Holding, i think the idea is he’s gonna be world class the a few years so get him now.A project player that will vastly improve our game going forward instantly. Will probably be similar in defence which is fine.
Yeah but surely you didn’t expect Saliba to be a starter? I think his price tag made people think he was ‘the mbappe of defenders’ but he’s still got a long way to go.This is how I view it as well, makes our possession game better which means less time spent defending in the first place.

That’s where I was hoping Saliba would come in, he seemed like the guy who you could trust to actually shut down the opposition but![]()

I disagree. I think you just hype up any new signing as the next big thing. He’s Brighton’s 3rd choice CB he’s got a long way to go to prove himself.You and I both know he's much better than Holding with the ball.

Again, I can’t take what you’re saying seriously because you hype up every signing to the moon, you probably never even paid attention to Ben White before but now he’s Cannavaro with Xavi’s passing to you.How can you disagree when Rob Holding bumbles the ball out of defence and can't play accurate long passes off both feet? White is also far superior to any Brighton CB on the ball, which is what we're talking about. So your argument in that sense is fairly wrong.
You really can't sit there and say Holding is better on the ball, because absolutely nothing suggests that is true. Go watch them both play, Holding turns with the ball like an absolute fighter jet whilst White is smooth on the ball, very agile, gangly player which is brilliant.

Holding is perfectly fine on the ball he passes the ball accurately and well and he’s not slow turning at all. None of what you said about him is true tbh, sounds like you don’t even pay attention.
I edited the post before you replied there’s some more there for you.I will let you see how wrong you are during the season.
Looks a lot taller than first though. Similar height to Edu probably taller.
