• To all AM members and guests.

    For the start of the new season, Arsenal Mania has relaunched the news side of the site. All articles are written by genuine Arsenal fans with no hidden agenda. You can visit the site via the menu at the top of the forum pages or go direct to our homepage

    Additionally, Arsenal Mania is now sending all its registered members a bi-weekly Briefing Bulletin containing a digest of news and views from both parts of the site. Some of you may have already received the first edition and those that haven't should do so before the big kick off against United. If you are a guest visitor to this forum then if you join as a member, you will automatically receive the Bulletin.

    Please support both these initiatives and help ensure the long term future of our site.

Riccardo Calafiori: The Italian Stallion

Disaster signing so far if we’re being real.

Looks like he’ll be another Tomi/Tierney. Not impressed.
think instead that italian newspapers as gazzetta was surprise to find Saliba in ballon d'or list instead of Calafiori.
my opinion: Riccardo is a fantastic talent , i think if he will remain healthy will became a great player but i'm also worry about how often he pick up injuries :(

He's been good every time he's played and the first injury was a complete fluke. Stunning reading here
ok, how was his injury record in Italy? I'm not going to agree or disagree with people on this but I do wonder what's so stunning here

People writing him off already? will be a stand out player for us when he gets into the rhythm of this team, great player.
He has the quality to be that, but after seeing how things played out for Partey and Jesus, it just tells you can't be sure with players who are constantly interrupted by injuries

Poor at Roma, which isn't surprising for a teenager recovering from a possible career ending injury. Since he's played regularly he had a 34 day injury at the start of his time at Basel Sept/Oct 22, since which time before now he hadn't missed more than a week, with little knocks making him miss 9 games in total between Oct 22 and last week.

I’m starting to think this guy is what makes our whole attack work. We need him back. Without him it’s just Saka and inshaAllah.

No, Ødegaard is what makes us tick. We've played much better football the last few seasons than we did this year with Calafiori. Who has been injured more than he was available.

He’s become orange 50% on FPL. What’s the latest here? With white being injured for the foreseeable we need Cala to stay fit and also Tomi to stop moving like Diaby.
 

Arsenal Quotes

The coach's role is to make the player understand everything that serves the interest of the game. To do this he must speak to the child within each player, to the adolescent he was and the adult he is now. Too often a coach tends only to speak to the adult, issuing commands for performance, for victory, for reflection, to the detriment of the child who is playing for pleasure, living in the present.
