Reading comprehension is a lost art.
Nah, world class dribbling? Thats a massive claim to be making.

Vieira was never a DM. I think you mean Gilberto. And you’re right. Wenger didn’t respect the 6 position.Arsenal since Vieira never really respected the DM position. Wenger never cared for them and believe any fool can do it
Mikel and scouting staff talent ID look good.
Edu deserves a lot more credit than he's given on here. Guy sacked half our scouts and put a millstone around his neck. But our recruitment has been spot on.I think that’s pretty clear at this point.
Jesus, Zinchenko, White, Thomas, Tomiyasu, Ramsdale, Ødegaard, Gabriel (deciding to keep Xhaka could almost count as a a signing? )…that’s a really impressive record in terms of impact and success rate.
Even the “failures” (Tavares, ¿Lokonga?) look like good signings tbh.
The only clear failure was a free (Willian) and not betting on other options.
We’re talking post Rodgers - Liverpool CL win level quality in terms of recruitment level honestly here, in terms of overall impact + success rate.
Look they know and study very well that players they targeting and that the right thing to do. Even tho Lokonga and Tavares not failures because they aren't 23 years old yet and can easily sold with good profitI think that’s pretty clear at this point.

Yeah that’s what I meant by saying “failures”, Tavares didn’t make it here but we will surely make a profit on him and Lokonga might make it here but if he doesn’t I imagine we break even or make a profit (perhaps considerable).Look they know and study very well that players they targeting and that the right thing to do.

I guess it's settled then. Sign him up, Edu!Going by my FIFA 23 career mode, this guy might be worth signing, he's killing it for me within my 2nd season. Rotating with Ødegaard centrally, with Viera on the right rotating with Saka.
Leverkusen are in horrendous form, loads of attacking talent but basically no defenders.The Bundesliga again is just too open Lindstrom was having too much space against Leverkusen but his dribbling skills and ability using his both feets is impressive
Its fun for natural thoLeverkusen are in horrendous form, loads of attacking talent but basically no defenders.
Not like the PL doesn't have plenty of clown defending either anyway.
Brilliant red card from @ArsenesCoatMaker here . Laughed out loud.Going by my FIFA 23 career mode, this guy might be worth signing, he's killing it for me within my 2nd season. Rotating with Ødegaard centrally, with Viera on the right rotating with Saka.
Mod Edit: please don’t bump threads for stuff like this
Mudryk speed is amazing. But right now Lindstrom is better player and more experience at higher level. Just wish he wasn’t danish and I would wish list himBrilliant red card from @ArsenesCoatMaker here . Laughed out loud.
Feel like Mudryk might be playing himself out of our price range / creating too many competitors and that it might be between Lindstrom and Gakpo for who we sign, no? / Martinelli's ability and projection perhaps means that we don't necessarily need to go for a real top potential winger like Mudryk? Or should we be more ambitious and try to have two top potential wingers for the same position? (thing that worries me is that Gabigod and Mudryk both play the same position and aren't really much for RW...can say the same for Gakpo which is what makes Neto--injuries though--Pino and Lindstrom interesting)
