Monreal: Nacho 2020

[RUS arsenal]

Such a complete player and the best thing about him is his composure on the pass/cross in the final 3rd, 2nd only to Özil in our team probably. Certainly my favorite Arsenal player at the moment along with Coquelin. It is a nice feeling when the players you support pan out...

 

[Mastadon]

You have to give Wenger credit for this. He looked decent at best when we signed him and he's developed so much over the last couple of year's. The fact that Gibbs offers no competition has certainly helped him settle in. He's turned out to be a great signing now.

 

[Gooner_Stu]

And that hes getting the LB spot cemented, rather than being played every other game has helped. Having him and Bellerín play is a nice contrast for the defence and attack, they just seem to work.

Hes also underrated by everyone else too, which is a shame for him.

 

[Jasard]

Wish he was 2 years younger

 

[Big Poppa]

why?

 

[Lady_Gooner]

Just look at him

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

I'd offer him a new contract.

 

[Vinci]

I'd offer him a new contract.

I doubt he would want to come.

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

I doubt he would want to come.

, One could hope.

 

[Aevi]

Let's give him a new contract, sending other clubs the message: "He's Nacho Monreal"

(I feel like a couple of you don't get the joke smh)

 

[Nyctophobia]

Nacho Unreal

 

[TheLoneFalcon]

I doubt he would want to come.

Pretty sure he's about to there.

 

[hieuving85]

Can he make it to France next summer guys? Spain has a ridiculus amount of good LB, ffs.

 

[BobP]

He's so good on the ball, don't feel tense at all when he has it, even when he's progressing up the field with it.

 

[Goon_si]

Wenger is still beasting it when signing those less known defenders out of nowhere. Koscielny, Monreal, Gabriel are all massively outplaying their price tags, Bellerin is a soon to be rated world class right back and we got him for penauts, Per did well here given his limitations, even Jenkinson who seemed like a lost cause has improved immensely. Absolutely fantastic. When you look at the money spent on our defense and what we get out of it, incredible.

Cech
Bellerin - Gabriel - Koscielny - Monreal
Coquelin

Those 6 players give me enormous belief that our team can compete for the Premier League title. I love a strong defensive unit, it's what wins championships, attack wins games.
To have Debuchy, Chambers, Mertesacker, Gibbs, Ospina on the bench to rotate in defense is also superb depth. Now if only we had one more midfielder capable of replacing Coquelin if needed.

Hats of to Nacho though, what a player.

To a degree although he was one of the best LBs in La Liga when he signed, he's just taken a while to adapt and Wenger's developed his game too I'd imagine.

 

[haha_arsenal]

before Nacho, Wenger had failed with LBs
Clichy
Gibbs
Andre Santos

CBs were not as great neither
Gallas
Vermaelen
Squillaci
Sylvestre
Djourou
Cenderos

I'm really glad he has sorted things out and be able to send this defense into games

Very true, good point. Difficult for any player to be in full flow when they are in and out of the side.

4 very good defenders, specially TV5, he was world class when fit.

But i can see how Bould work is finally paying off, its evident that the guy knows his **** and that Arsène listens to him, Im certain that coquelin was Bould suggestion.

 

[Vinci]

Coquelin wasn't anyone's suggestion, we were down to barebones and needed a midfielder so we recalled him. It really wasn't some masterstroke, just luck. He'd have never been recalled if it wasn't for injuries.
