I know what you mean. Arteta has kind of hinted that we’ll play him all over the place and then decide his position laterNos89 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 20, 2022 10:05 amIn Vieira, we seem to have signed a player without having a specific plan or role for him in the squad. It's totally random and for me, not a great recruitment strategy. I think someone mentioned it was cover for ESR, but that doesn't seem clear as they both played in the u-21's the other night.
In fairness, if Arteta wants us to go the Citeh way of having lots of technical players who can play multiple positions (which he clearly does) then a player like Vieira might make perfect sense as it seems you could move ESR, Saka, Odegaard, Vieira, etc around a bit without disrupting the style of play.
I reckon it’s best to see him play a bit before saying it’s not a good recruitment strategy but I get what you mean
