• 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.

Gyökeres needs to slim down. He must be pushing 85 kg. And he can't play with his back to goal or win headers. Arteta should surround him with as many technicians as possible and tell him to make runs all down. He shouldn't have more than twenty touches per game.

Ah yes, that has worked so well for our Captain. :lol: I think when you can throw Saliba out of the way after spending a half tussling with Gabi (something Haaland can't do) and score almost 100 goals in 2 seasons, you're probably at a good weight.

TalkSport had an interview with some head journo of one of the Portuguese papers earlier.

The guy seemed to think that the deal will be done by Friday as that is when Gyok is supposed to return to training and they want to avoid him not turning up.

I cant remember exactly what paper it was, but it was the one mentioned in here quite a bit.



Starts around 3mins in, no idea if the guy knows anything or not, he did also say Gyokeres has been the most impressive player in Portugal in the last 30yrs.. :slap:

Juat watched Sporting last game of the season against Benfica. Guy cannot be a reference up front. Every kicked ball fron the keeper hit him like it hit a brick wall. First touch is really poor. He is also so poor at heading that it looks comical. He is rapid fast though. If you give him space and a channel to run into , he will create separation. He desire to shoot from everywhere is admirable.
If we are gonnna sign him (by the looks of it is gonna happen ) Arteta will have to change his tactics. Gyokeres cannot do Havetrz job, so either someone else needs to be the reference point from goal and long kicks or we to invite pressure and play quick balls over the top for him to run. I will be really interested in seeing Arteta tweak things.
And the alternative is Sesko, who has a better touch but couldn’t find the back of the net if you drew him a map.
Rather we take our chances with a guy who fancies himself to score from anywhere than the guy who shoots like he’s still learning to kick a ball!

Comparing Mbappe with Gyorkeres is like comparing a Hummer with a Fiat.

Comparing Pulis to Arteta just shows your true lack of understanding for the game though.

Doesn't need to be said more than once.
Gyokeres is much better striker than Havertz

Sesko can finishes very well when he gets chances, but he get less chances/shots less then Gyok/Ekitike as he was playing deeper more as link up CF in Leipzig's 442 and has Openda as poacher CF playing further forward. Ekitike is the opposite of Sesko, he gets plenty of chances, shots plenty, but a bad finisher. Gyok got both high shots volume and quality as very good finisher. Problems are he did it against weaker defences and his chances/shots volume will decrease against stronger EPL defences. So none of them are perfect. At the right price, any of them can be great deal.

if Gyokeres hieght is 1'89cm then the perfect wieght for him is 80-85Kg i don't know why we even talking about this watch the videos of this guy and he very quick he don't need to slim down specially in PL

Excited about the signing but just watched all his goals for Sporting and have`t to say it worried me a little bit. Some really good goals of course but a lot of really bad defending and goalkeeping.

I mean, that's probably the least accurate description I've seen.
