Nico = Busquets¿Quién es el 'gallego' Charlie Patiño?
La última Premier League del Arsenal tuvo el sello de los 'Invencibles'. En la 2003-04, Henry, Bergkamp, Pires, Vieira, Ljungberg, Campbell... se proclamaron campeones sin perder nwww.marca.com
National media picking up on him here!
Would love to see an interview with him in Spanish. Hope he has a fully galician accent like his dad, haha. Probably does, from the stuff included here...says he was part of a Depor fans group as a kid and went to the semi-professional games of a team formed by Galicians in London.
Ilaix next Yaya Touré, but we sign him to play next to the Galician Cesc?Nico = Busquets
Gavi + Pedri = Xavi + Iniesta
Patino = Cesc. Thankfully he’s not a Barca boy.
AgreedHis goal was all about Raul
Shame his first name's not Al...

Charlie Patiño, sangre coruñesa a las puertas de la Premier League

According to this article he struggles a bit speaking in Spanish. :/ Would've been fun if he had a super London accent on one hand and a super galician accent on the other.
In the MARCA article he says he admired Cesc and Arteta but that Santi was his particular favourite.
Don't think he would get bullied that easily. He is so agile and has a good understanding of what's going on around him, it's hard to get close to him and he releases the ball on time, very much like Cesc, although not there yet.Still needs to fill out his frame a bit. He just looks like he'd get bullied consistently at senior level. No doubting his talent, but he needs to add some size and power cause he is pretty slow, although more agile than Xhaka. He also needs to work on his off the ball play when the team needs to defend cause he can be a liability kinda like Özil used to be.

It's easier to bully Xhaka and take the ball from him as he is slow with his movement as well as with his thinking.
Patino will probably stay a bit weaker than others, but that will allow him to be more agile and he will develop his game in a different way, which I think is great.
I think it's just about getting experience now for Patino, and that could be tricky with Arteta
I don't think he has a problem giving chances to players in their early 20's, but time will tell how he integrates players from the academy, which he has zero records of so far.Not sure we can say Arteta won't give this young guys a chance anymore, we've got the youngest team in the league by far. He's handed the keys to the attack to Maritnelli/Saka/ESR/Ode, young CB pairing at the back ect. I think Arteta will use Patino more next season.
young Dennis Wise on our hands.
