Matteo Guendouzi - Gooner

[DB10GOONER]

MOTM in the PSG leg of the Singapore jersey selling to Asian superfans exercise. Looked strong confident and capable. Could develop into a real player.... especially without Wenger there to ruin him with tippy tappy....

[Allgunsblazin]

I am sure our Signer Upper fucked up as he thought he was getting David Luiz, another sideshow bob.....

Looks quality.

Fantastic hair as well.

[DB10GOONER]

For me he was our MOTM again last night. He makes few mistakes, is afraid of no one, looks comfortable on the ball and seems to have time on the ball (the way Fabregas used to), and has a decent touch and pass in him too. Of course he's still young and is untested in the PL etc so let's not lose our collective shit about him yet, but so far he looks like he might, just might, be a really good signing.

[DB10GOONER]

The hair has to go though.

Tbh I'd drop numbnuts Xhaka and put the Dozer in from the first game. Sink or swim. He's either good enough to be on first team wages or he's not. Let's find out.

I think we have to change the way we think about young players. Forget the old ideas of "you don't want to burn him out too early" and thinking of players as long term investments in the clubs future. The game has changed vastly. Players are no longer interested in putting 10 years in at a club. They (and their parasite scum agents) want that next signing on fee. So fuck em use them while we can and burn them out if necessary and then get rid. The best ones won't burn out and will show they are good enough.

It's an elite sport where players are paid millions. They are not entitled to be paid that money they have to earn it and if they are not good enough then tough go get a real job.

Now before the usual idiots whine about "you can't have a team full of inexperienced kids" I'm not saying that. I'm saying if you have one kid that looks good enough, then instead of the old way of drip feeding him into the team, I say throw him in and demand he deliver. Of course this won't work for every player but some will step up. I'd particularly do it where you are replacing shit like Xhaka and have nothing to lose.

How we use players should be for the club's benefit, not theirs.

And that is how you end up with shite like Iwobi

Alongside who then ? Please dont say elninny cos otherwise the men in white coats will be on their way for you. Tbh right now I would play the kid alongside xhaka unless torreira is up to speed by then

[northbank123]

And if Iwobi has been given a decent shot at the first team - say 8-10 games - and then dropped out of contention and moved on soon after that would be fine.

But despite playing consistently shit he played game after game after game after fucking game. And hasn’t been sold. It’s not to do with his age, it’s an inability to recognise a poor player.

And on the other hand there’s somebody like Gnabry. Obviously a talented kid, well thought of and did brilliantly when he got a few chances but ultimately thought of as not ready and left to drift away and rot.

No. Absolutely not true. You end up with shit like Comedy Iwobi by having a past it manager whose ego can't let him admit he got it wrong about a player. Comedy Iwobi was never good enough. Never will be. Not at that level.

Obviously alongside whichever one of Elneny, Torreira or even Xhaka is least shit at any given time or whichever one adapts the best to that role in Dick's new system, whatever that may finally be. The point is already he looks better than Xhaka and Elneny.
