Why go looking elsewhere when there’s Florenzi? He’s a warrior, he’s got decent speed, he defends well, he’s technically gifted, he’s young and he’s Italian. If we we can get him for less than 35 m he would be a far better deal than Bellerin.

Not exactly young. He's 27. But he's probably going to be the next Roma bandiera so I say we have no chance to sign him.

cuz arsenal fans are known to be reasonable people

Hes awful defensively not worth 50 mill.... right let's get Ricardo perreira instead. Probably cheaper and a much better player all round

Is he better than Ansaldi?

Ansaldi is better at left back

If he's still poor defensively, and if Cuadrado does well at RB in the remaining games, just stick Cuadrado at RB next season.

And sign a Howedes replacement - CB-FB hybrid. We've have linked with a few. Will act as a more defensive option.

Then I'm afraid our options are very limited.

Does Bellerin know how to defend now?

Did dani alves know how to defend before he joined juve?

That's why alves was shifted to right wing

I dont get this obsession with Florenzi here. He is just not very good. Bellerin is a much better RB.

Could be interesting to give Cuad the last four matches as a RB, to access if he could have a future there. Maybe we dont need another RB of he does well.

Yeah, at his peak. (edit: not early peak)

And he was awful defensively with us save for turning into Gentile when marking Neymar.

I'm not obsessed with him haha, it's the first time I mention him. It's just that I'm not convinced by Bellerin. Cuadra is an okay option offensively, though at the defensive end meh, I don't think he's of any use.

shifted on the right wing was stupid
allegri playing a back 3 in the final was his downfall. If he stuck to the 4231 that he played all season it would have been a different story.

Was not referring to you in specific, but more the fact that a suprisingly large part of this forum rates Florenzi.
I think Cuad could be very good as a RB. He is actually quite disciplined.

Yeah but that slide tackle that allowed Perisic to cross for merda's second goal was very much avoidable if you ask me but then I can't only judge him based on one mistake. Let's wait and see how he does as a RB in the last 3 games.

Maybe it was, but Perisic is a quality player in one on one situations, and that was the only time he got the better of Cuad. Lets hope he gets to play the last four matches as a RB, maybe we will have a better idea if he will be able to play that position after that.

The tackle was good. He blocked the cross. But he shouldn't have actually thrown the tackle because there were no teammates around him. It's possible the result is the same with MDS or Licht there but it's just achieved through a different way. As in Perisic just dribbles them and scores or something.

The underrating of Bellerin is criminal.

Not even sure these people watch football with the posts I read past pages.



We call all EPL fans daft or ignorant when some tv pundit makes a silly outdated comment, but reading some of these posts it's like they don't keep themselves up to date in other leagues or its some of its stand out players. Aren't any different at all.


"Just fast, can't defend, headless chicken."



That's just nonsense stereotypical one liners.
