Jean Seri

[El Granit-Coq]

Am I the only one who will be very disappointed if we get him? He screams of a mediocre StatDNA signing, meanwhile Chelsea might be getting the vastly superior and more talented Corentin Tolisso......

What makes you think Tolisso is more talented?

 

[Red London]

I think in the modern game a tall CM really isnt required whatsoever. Physicality is a factor but it can be offset by other strengths such as tackling, aggression and workrate like Kante has shown.

Buying a tall CM just because 'we need height' is too loose of a demand. We shouldnt be influenced in our decision for our choice as a b2b player because of how big he is.

Maybe that is something we should have considered when buying CB's but I think lets say Kos,Mustafi,Holding,Xhaka,Kola would be good enough at defending corners.. otherwise height doesnt mean much these days apart from influecning a players physicality

 

[Red London]

In terms of steel, we have aggressive players like Kos, Mustafi, Xhaka and Kola (sanchez is rugged for a winger too) and holding has shown he can play dirty. Coq is like that too off the bench and Wilshere as well.

Not to mention the fact that Seri may himself be an aggressive player too, I dont think Arsenal are considered push overs anymore like we were a few years back when we played arteta as our CDM

Well i disagree, the only reason Sp**s are doing well is because of physicality. you see how they fared in europe... they were humiliated. In england the tactical game is so bad that you can actually do well with limited brutes like wanyama,dier,walker and the likes.

lol with your implication that physicality plays a massive role in success you might as well call Barca, Liverpool, City average teams.

A team must play to their strengths. Wenger isnt the type to make a lot of use of rugged limited CDMs for example, they'd just look like sloppy ****s in our team these days..

Poche has created a very physical and strong team who rely on their structure and shape to win games. Stick Wanyama or Dier to play CM for us and I guarantee they wont be very good in our system.

Well he isn't coming here then

On the countrary brittle bones is really Arsenal DNA

a big factor in why Sp**s failed was because of the Wembley home games tbf, we struggled with that in the 90's I believe

not to mention they are new to the CL, Liverpool and City were rubbish in their first couple seasons there.

 

[carlito'sway]

I can't remember if @carlito'sway said he was good or bad.

Good. I compared him to Kante with the added bonus that he is more technical and better offensively. I would be happy to see him next to Xhaka.

 

[Slartibartfast]

So Seri is 4 centimeters shorter than Cazorla. I don't see the problem. If he comes, it won't be to be "the new Vieira."

 

[Red London]

what is he like in terms of his tackling and aggression? is he an energetic dribbler or more of a passer?

 

[carlito'sway]

He is very energetic, excellent vision and good passing range. He is also very mobile and competent defensively. He does not tackle a lot, he tends to stay on his feet.

 

[Sanchez11]

We need a brick sh1thouse in midefield height is an issue

 

[Gegen Pressing]

I noted somewhere we are lacking our usual armada of technical midgets.
Seri is the midget but is he super technical like Carzola (yep Car Zola)?

 

[carlito'sway]

What makes you think Tolisso is more talented?

Seri is a far superior player than Tolisso at this stage.

 

[El Granit-Coq]

Seri is a far superior player than Tolisso at this stage.

Thats why I asked the question... He didn't really give any justification so was waiting for it.

I know you rate him highly.

 

[Trilly]

He is very energetic, excellent vision and good passing range. He is also very mobile and competent defensively. He does not tackle a lot, he tends to stay on his feet.

This guy or Cyprien? I really liked what I saw of Cyprien.

 

[HairSprayGooners]

What's the issue with Seri next to Xhaka who himself is 6ft? Kante and Matic don't have any problems.

 

[Trilly]

Get it done before he becomes Barca's first choice then, for **** sake.

Who is this guy anyway?

 

[Trilly]

I don't care how good he is tbh, he's definitely not as good as Naby Keita and that's a fact.

 

[El Granit-Coq]

I don't care how good he is tbh, he's definitely not as good as Naby Keita and that's a fact.

Chances of Keita leaving Leipzig this season for less than 50mil are low. Think thats their asking price.
