Konstantinos Mavropanos: Our New BFG

[grange]

More God of War than BFG

 

[Camron]

Really don't care about passing - we've needed a proper defender for years. He was smashing into Burlney players. Loved it. This is the type of CB that makes a forward look over his shoulder in fear.

This hasn't happened for over a decade in our defense. What a time to be alive.

 

[Hunta]

He only turned 20 in December. He’s already got a big frame but in a year or two he will fill out and look huge I bet.

Just out of curiousity, how did Varane's career evolve at real? I kinda remember him being slowly integrated into first team where Pepe and Ramos were the uncontested starters but eventually it turned into a senior 3 CB rotation where you could play any 2 of the 3 without much of a drop off in quality.

when did his initial breakthrough occur, i wonder, versus the time that he can be considered as a bona fide starting material.

 

[MustOezil]

I hope we bring in a very experienced and solid CB to play with Chambers/Holding/Mavropanos next year. We need someone in the last few years of his career (29/30 years old) but still playing at an elite level who can teach and contribute towards the development Mavropanos.

I would love to see Mustafi phased out and eventually sold. He's small, can't time his jumps and tackles properly, and has horrible reading of the game.

Winning 5 of 6 aerials in your second game at his age is quite incredible.

He joined them as an 18 year old, scored in his second game for them from an Özil corner.

Varane is 25 now and only really became a regular last season. He’s done it all already which is mad.

 

[Trilly]

The Chambropanos partnership is such an exciting prospect.

It was until you came up with this monstrosity.

 

[Trilly]

How nice is it to have a big fast strong **** in defence. Praying that he's a Wenger gem.

The difference with him is that his pace, height and strength will help him when his form drops mentally whereas Holding and Chambers had/have nothing to fall back on.

 

[Hunta]

No match comp.

Embarrassed to be an Arsenal fan.

 

[BBF]

Disgusted with the new title, he's better than the BFG. Better than prime Adams as well.

Fully expect him to lead Greece into Qatar and dethroning whatever poor bastard is running it right now.

I don't think it's a Wenger gem.

It's a Sven the saviour gem.

 

[El Duderino]

Just finished God (dad) of War and they sneaked in Mavo as the secret boss.

Had me and Boi on the ropes.

Judging by his comments after Mavropanos signed, it wasn't his signing at all.

I now realise that, thanks.

Imagine if Sven can have us assembling a team of top class players and challenging the big boys. I'm only now starting to realise how impressive it was for Dortmund to challenge the Bayern dominance for as long as they did.

Sven was a quality appointment. Probably the best since Wenger himself.

 

[ClubLevel]

Happy for him to play Europa and cup games next season rather than be loaned out. Think he will do well as long as our next manager has some defensive nous about him.

Anyone recon Wenger will start Zeus tonight?

Recon a weakened team tonight and a resemblance of the starting 11 on sunday minus the injured ones.
