Lisandro Martinez

[Yousif Arsenal]

I think its likely given the strong links to Grimaldo over the last day or two.

If Arteta want the player we'll pay but look the player and Ajax playing the long game we could moved on. Still nothing clear

Guy said whole of nothing he just say in his opinion think Martinez might chose utd because ten hag

Well that is obvious

 

[Riou]

Tell him he is playing DM here.

And if he says no...then it's thank you, **** you, bye.

Let him enjoy getting 10th place with Yanited... imagine this midget at CB, with that fossil Varane or that fridge Maguire, in the Barclays...with that fat mess Shaw in the mix too, hilarious.

That was worth waiting for.

[El Duderino]

Basically he's leaning towards Ten Hag.

Would guess it's the agent trying to paint Ajax in a bad light to try and get them to hurry up.

When baldie Ten Hag knocks it’s a different knock

Its not looking good brev.

Imo there is a much stronger argument to learn from a new coach new things and join the team that is on the rise big time rather than to join the same coach at a club that is in a deep decline.

For any kiddo starting that **** of Arteta being a clown coach that cannot teach anything, spare me with that. Guy knows 10000 times more about football than anyone on this forum

The fact that he know more than you doesnt mean that he know more than all of us. Arsenal is also in decline btw and you have to have zero ambitions (like Aaron "5th is progress" Ramsdale) to not realise that.

Leave him at it.

He’s gonna choose Utd isn’t he this little pr!ck. No big deal let him go to Manchester and bvm Ten Hag if that’s what he wants. We move on. Zinchenko is there for the taking. Chukwuemeka for midfield and we’re good to go.

Whether we can emulate City is irrelevant to the argument. The point is that inverted full-back is a clearly defined role, and not at all a nebulous term like you claimed.

I'll still answer your other question though, it's commonly used by managers who like a 2-3-5 setup in attack while having cover for the counter. Mancini used it with Italy in Euro 2020, using Di Lorenzo as an inverted full-back. Bielsa used it with the Chilean national team and Leeds.

Of course it is defined. My comment was not in the literal sense. For Arsenal, how have we used inverted fullbacks? Explain our intention to use inverted fullbacks. Its nebulous in the sense that it is not defined here at Arsenal, so therefore we shouldn’t recruit as if we have such a plan to play with inverted fullbacks.

I like the player, I just don’t really see how he fits as of yet, but I ‘m not going to attempt to define a position for him that he hasn’t played and that we haven’t played, just to recruit him.

I will recruit a LB. Simple. Problem solved.

This is ****ing stupid, feels like the final of X factor. Might have to delete Twitter

Is this football or the fvcking bachelor?

Well, it's pretty simple. Tomiyasu and Lisandro both tuck in and play as inverted full-backs, creating a 3-man defensive midfield base along with the #6. This allows the two number 8s (Ødegaard and Vieira most likely) to push further up and play as two attacking midfielders, giving us an attacking unit of 5 when you include the frontline. 2-3-5.

Guardiola uses Cancelo and Walker as inverted full-backs (Cancelo as a creator and Walker as a defender mainly) and B. Silva and KDB as 8s in the same manner. We'd basically be looking at a City-type approach. Lisandro instead of Cancelo, Tomiyasu instead of Walker, Vieira instead of B. Silva and Ødegaard instead of KDB.

I know how it works. You are saying we will change what we do to compensate for the player’s limitations. Madness to me, but I guess we will see. What do we do when Tierney is starting?

So we arent spending 50 million on a defender messi towers over? Edu saved from himself.
