Charles discussing Eze on a Sunday morning….
What's cool about eze is the potential to play mutliple positions
Imagine him along side Captain Odegaard or down the wing, even a false 9 🔥🔥🔥
Not happening I’m afraid we’ll vault at the price needed and buy another vieira instead to then pay him off to walk away.
@@user-fv8rn4gi3ximagine being that much of a prick that you ignore all the decent signings, and moan about the one that’s had a lot of injuries. You must be well fun to know. Can we be friends?
I still have a negatively biased point of view about Eze, I watched him a couple of times (QPR) and thought that he looked for the Hollywood pass too often. He still has a bit of that imo.
@@NickBramwell I think watching a couple of times isnt really a realistic sample to judge him to be honest. he is a really good, two footed high skill, quick, English player.
@@theythinkimmadyouknow Good job if we buy him!
To many keyboard scouts. SO many said Arsenal were wrong letting go of Balogun, he was going to be able to fight for the starting 9.....If your happy with the team's management, which you should be with the trajectory we have been on, TRUST THE PROCESS!
I thought Eddie was the pick out of the two of them. I still rate Ed.... I think he should have stayed positioned as he was. When he tried to expand his positioning he looked poor. Balogan looked poor when receiving the ball from the right. Bit like Calvin Lewis from Everton. A bad habit for a striker. Would you pick Biereth as a second choice striker?
Calvin Lewis? I think you mean calvert lewin. @@NickBramwell
I don’t know whether Eze will end up being our man or not, but it feels like there’s a definite trend developing with some of these links - Eze, Simons, Doué, etc - all very similar, multi-functional attackers, happy going left, right or through the middle. Makes sense - there’ll be far more minutes on offer for a player like that, and it adds a lot of depth to 3 key areas in one move.
At this point of Arsenal’s development, lots of academy talents will turn out not good enough for the 1st team. And a 20 minute cameo against PSV will not change that. Edu & Arteta have more information on these kids than any of us. We cannot hope to contend for big titles and want the 1st team loaded with academy products, they will get there if good enough. They need to move on to 1st team on mid/lower table teams, like Reiss, Willock, etc.
Eze, thumbs up from me , the added x factor. With the interest show from Palace for esr and co , swap deal plus a few pounds sterling will sort both teams out .
Charles,
Would it be fair to say Arsenal are seemingly waiting for PSR to refresh prior to signing? Hence the quiet news
Raya was a loan with an option due to psr, and once this cycle rolls off our 3 year period will include 2 seasons in UCL which massively improves our spending power
Keep up the good work
The Arteta criticism of not playing younger players is bonkers. These same people would be screaming for him to be sacked if he played some of these players (who let’s be honest most likely aren’t even good enough for first team) and we end up dropping points. There’s no margin for error when the stakes are as high as they are now and it’s Arteta that lives and dies by these decisions.
So in all the games Arsenal won 3/4/5 Nil, your saying there was no opportunity to bring on some of the younger players?
Exactly, we dont have youngsters of the quality like liverpool and man city or even man utd possess.
@@Ty01386 No, I think they're saying that there's a bit more nuance to this. Obviously those games presented opportunities to play some of the younger guys. In hindsight, though, it would have risked the goal differential that we did stack up, ultimately only ending even with City on. I believe it's an area that we'll see Arteta grow in this next season.
@@charlesramsey3138 So when Arsenal beat Sheff UTD 6-0 with 81% possession , Your saying Arteta is sitting thinking oh cant bring on a young player because Sheffield might score 3 goals because of this 1 sub 🤣. Also burnley 5-0 , West ham 6-0. Why do fans treat arteta like hes god, he can't do no wrong can never be questioned
But we *did* end up dropping those points, so...
Now that we're interested, hopefully this will be an Eze transfer
Hi Charles, With Tierney, he gets injured so often now that I don't think we can rely on him even as a depth option, because we could put him on for one match and he could do a hamstring again and be out for the rest of the season. I agree with paying him off and let him move on. I think he should take a long look at his injury record and move on from playing too, as he's just going from injury to injury, it's not a career any more and it's probably not good for his mental health to keep repeating the process of play a few games, get injured, take months of to recover.
In Tierney, I do agree with your assessment. If I were a betting man I think you're right on a loan but certainly agree it's a good discussion point.
Couple of things Charles. 1. The Premier League look at every transfer and assess if it is of fair value. They have done that for a while. So the clubs you mentioned *could* be breaking rules. Will be interesting to see what happens. 2. Is wrong to say Okonkwo has moved on a free as because of his age Arsenal will be due some compensation and usually a % of future transfer too. Is all part of the Bosman rules. Might not be much but will be something.
Eze and Kudos to arsenal this season, we are winning the league
The most overrated players every, we don't need Eze, we might need Kudus on the RW, but ffs Eze is not the guy for that #8
Why didn’t Arteta sign Kudus when he had the chance last year?
@samboy90 PSR issues, apparently they were waiting for us to bid
Kudus like Oliseh will never play for Arsenal, unless Saka is sold.
Eze would be a fantastic signing, one thing that we've missed on occasion is an 'X Factor' player wanting to really drive at teams going for low blocks. Price seems reasonable too.
Good opportunities open in the market for sales for Arsenal, Everton have shown interest in Eddie before and if they’re losing their striker could maybe go for him, not sure he would be open to it though. Also Reiss to Palace, is that a possibility?
Charles,Fabrizio reported late night that Bayern are pushing for Chido Obi. Can't see him staying here tbh. Better environment to grow and early pro contract. Might get some minutes as there are no backup for Kane too. Our youth systems need to change. At least send the youth out loan on a proper timing and don't let their contract run until the final years. Know Chido has nothing to do with it but regarding the recent Duberry and Walters leaving situation 😢
Hie Charles Eze would be perfect for Arsenal in that left 8 role, what I like the most about him is that he can produce a goal from nothing we need that kind of a player and he will give you 10goals per season from midfield that can make Arsenal concentrate on getting a winger than a striker
Great vid Charles, love the transfer window content. On Eze I wonder if we're hyping him too much. He's obviously a very good talent who I've rated highly for a long time, but I also think playing for a mid table team allows him to be a focal point and as a result get more praise as a main man. I look at him and see a 25 year old dynamic 8 who can also play as a 10 or LW with a great first touch who's a very strong dribbler. For me, we already have one of those who's even younger in Smith Rowe. I think if Smith Rowe was at a team like Palace he'd be getting this level of praise and would have our fans begging for us to sign him. If he can't get the game time at Arsenal, why will Eze? Would love to hear your thoughts, keep up the great work!
Totally agree with your comments on the "bright young talent" leaving Arsenal Charles. For all the hype about them may not make it a champions league level, a level of player Arsenal need. Patino, will he make it, Omari H, while he may well play PL someday, the important point is that we make money from them if they're not going to make it with us.
I called at the end of last season for Eze to Arsenal,although he was released by Arsenal as a kid.
Yayyyyyy!!!!!! For Eze!
Hi Charles, great show as always Eze would be the perfect signing, in my opinion also would you like to see Mikel use the league cup for youth with sqaud players like wenger did? The league Cup is nothing we want to win league and champs league fa Cup COYG
Eze at the left 8 would be incredible. Imagine him and Martinelli or him and Nico Williams interchanging and playing on that left hand side the same as Ø and Bukayo. Would be no more excuses for Martinelli. It’d be perform or get sold
KT might well come back from the injury physically, but he has already left in his head. Sell him cheap to Celtic.
We are in four comps, plus u21's 2 comps. We need a big squad to win the quad. There are now 16 players who should get on the pitch every game. To push the squad to improve all of those players need someone pushing them, hence 30. If we want to be the team who avoids flatspots (our undoing last year) we need to use all 5 subs in all games. The rule change has only been used lightly by prem managers, someone will cotton on to what a massive tool 5 subs can be and they will win more games by being active in replacement in the tire phase between 65 and 75 mins. I would argue that we certainly need 3 names for each position. 8 fresh legs at the 65 min, not only will reduce injury, but tilt results in our favour. Without competition for those places concentration and development will suffer. (Other opinions exist).
Lots of people making uninformed comments about our academy players - one academy talent making the first team squad every two or three years is good going. Players who get to 19-20 and haven't broken through are unlikely to. We've also raised the bar and we have established players from the academy like Nketiah and Nelson who aren't good enough now for this improving Arsenal. However, I do agree we should be looking to make some money on young talent when they go, to help recoup our academy costs.
Hi Charles, I can’t be the only person that after every goal scored at the Euros hears 🎼 “Ohhhh Santi Cazorla” 🎼
It’s a very common theme, we weren’t the first to use it
@@BeforeThisNovember you’re missing the point of my comment
Eze would be a perfect signing. Rice, Partey and Jorginho are all great in the number 6 role while ESR and Vieira are our most natural number 8 options right now (beside Ödegaard). Eze will raise the ceiling without a doubt and £60m is a good price.
11:28 it'll happen with balogun, you mark my words...
Charles I spoke about this week's ago we need another creative midfielder with different qualities in terms of breaking lines, taking on players and setting up Assist in the third
Let's Get Giehi of Palace to offer defence competition, Get a 6 role, central midfield, and nico Williams...then stick to kai as CF.
I would really like to see Eze here
Hi Charles to use your analogy ‘new shiny toy’ why are we getting Eze (I love him by the way) to play you suggested left eight along side Odegaard when we’ve already got that kinda player in ESR that Arteta hardly uses! Even if you go by injuries last season Eze had his fair share.
As I said I love Eze and always have done since his QPR days but we’ve got a similar player in Emile that just needs to be given as fair a chance like the likes of Havertz.
Arteta should play the kids in the League club like Wenger used to do! We used to give talented youngsters like Carlos Vela, Fran Merida and Jack Wilshere a chance to show their potential in the Carling cup and after they performed they moved on and Arsenal got money. The League cup is a glorified shopping window until the latter stages when the big boys should play!!!
Charles, I am absolutely with you, versatile, great work ethic and would move the needle imo in that MF area. Hearing Spurs have been linked for quite some time and player keen in principle on the move...any truth in that rumour? Is that one reason why there is talk of Arsenal looking to hijack the deal?
With KT it’s not a case of keep him and play him, because he’s so injury prone he’s more than likely to break in training and not play. My belief is that he’ll end up going on a free/out of contract.
The club need to do a better job in recruiting players with better injury records.Its been consistently poor for over a decade now. Diaby,Van Persie,Rosicky,Debuchy,Jenkinson,Partey, Tierney,Tomiyasu among others.I don't blame the players,but the club need to do a better job.
Eze is my Man, stronger than Olise. Arsenal should go get him fast.
Any player that is constantly injured is about as useful as a Chocolate Teapot ! Get rid of old ' Sicknote ' asap ! Tierney is Arsenal's answer to Darren Anderton ! 😅
Definitely, definitely definitely you’ll make a squad stronger some definitely definitely definitely great player versatile as well so come on as I
Hi Charles, as much as I love seeing youth players progressing to the senior team the fact is that all are gonna be a Saka, ESR or Nelson. The fans complaining are the same one who're gonna bash Mikel when he plays youth players and lose games. It's is what it is
Hi Charles 👋, I hope all is good 👋 👦 ☺️ 👍 😊 🙏. Eze coming to Arsenal would be a good signing . The Gunners needs a strong 💪 squad to compete 💪 against Manchester City and Liverpool and win 🏆 matches and trophies God willing. Have a good day Charles 😂. Arsenal rocks 🏆 🙏 🤲 🪨 🎸 😎.
Listening to the comments on eze etc it would be a fun signing but what we lacked last season was that superstar X factor against say bayern in the champions league. We should prioritise that first and I don’t think eze is that
Arsenal has a responsibility to develop the young talent. My frustration lies in the fact that we don't even play them in the Cups. I understand why we might not want to play them in the League and Europe.
It's sad they seem to be leaving for nothing, and we need to find a way to at least generate some funds from them. I just pray we find a pathway for Chido Martin Obi, similar to what we did with Nwaneri.
Eze release clause will be triggered by two clubs this summer. Large part to be paid but Arsenal know Palace want Nketiah and Nelson. Choice will come down to the player and if one of those clubs is Arsenal as being reported the other club will not even be in consideration. Basically with Arsenal now to weigh up if they will activate or go for another target.
Eze kudus and a left back would be a class window
Kianoglu
Absolute Yes for Eze. I see him as Ödegaard alternative! Not a fan of Olise. He’s not great defensively which you have to be in Arteta’s system.
The only young player we have lost recently that I go, "I wish we kept him" was gnabry...older players that's a different story
I think there's a bit of an overreaction to young players leaving the Club. If we look back over the previous 15 years, I think there are only three young players who left for nothing that are doing well today - Gnabry, Malen and Bennacer. Our problem isn't that we don't give young players a chance. It's that we hang on to them for too long, by which time they've lost value. Maitland-Niles, ESR, Eddie and Nelson are prime examples.
I think if we're bring honest with ourselves, 60 million pounds is a fair price for a combined Nketiah/ESR/Nelson. Doing a straight swap of those 3 for Eze (no cash going either way) would be a win-win situation for everyone involved. Crystal Palace have no leverage with Eze because of his release clause. They immediately turn him into 3 players that are young, talented, fill holes in their squad, have scored Premier League goals, English, and already settled in London. It's also a good home for those 3 players. Arsenal gets a very high quality English player that can play leftside 8 and left wing. Arsenal also doesn't have to spend any more energy finding buyers for these 3 players.
He doesn't even give the squad players that much game time, let alone the academy players. You just won't know which tallent will surprise you if u dnt play them. Saka started as a LW, but take Liverpool and Man City, why can the afford to give soo many young players chance and still compete and Arsenal can't. Arteta needs to wise up. He plays the same players all the time its a wonder we haven't suffered more injuries, but that wont continue forever, the longer the players play so much games, the closer they will get to injuries. Times have nothing to do with it. Arteta needs to do better, i know the academy staff must be frustrated with all their hard work just walking out the door.
Isn’t Eze a very similar profile to ESR?
If ESR gets opportunities like Eze, he would excel as well!
I don’t get why Arteta wouldn’t trust ESR! Very frustrating
Hey Charles I agree that Eze is a very good player but one thing you failed to mention was, just like Olise, Eze is also quite injury prone. Again, availability is the best most underrated attribute for any player. It really doesn't matter how special you are as a player when you're almost never around to actually play.
Eze played 27 Games last season & 38 the season before. Injury prone?
Eze's had 1 big injury in his career and he was only out for a month last season. That's not injury prone lol, it's like calling Martinelli injury prone.
Charles when you discussed young players who have left the club, you forgot to mention Omari Hutchinson a player who has gone on to do well.
Exactly, but Chelsea might sell him because they keep buying young players.
AFC have two great wingers in Martinelli and Saka,Jesus and Trossard are also great back ups so what's with this getting another winger situation I don't get it ?
The plan seems clear from Arteta. Win the league first then worry about bringing youth players through.
GK - David Raya
LB - Jurriën Timber

HIGH WATTAGE ⚡⚡⚡
Cringe
Hello Charles, any updates about Charlie Patino?
YES to Eze! Versatile, dynamic and strong. Arsenal roots. Let's go get him. As for the Euros, sadly it looks like we will be able to start the process sooner than later unless Southgate starts to suddenly see sense. Great stuff this summer Charles. August 17 coming soon!
I wonder! Do they see Ethan Nwaneri as a wide player? If not i dont see the meaning to go for Eze.
Eze started at Arsenal from age 8 to 13 ..
Worrying about the young player pathway is such a midtable mindset. Cole Palmer had to leave city because he wasn't going to play. As a top club with top players in every position, the goal is winning, not FULLY focusing on the youth. Sure some cameo opportunities have come and gone but the focus is on the first team right now, thats where we are.
What happens if you pay an inflated price tag for an unknown player and they flop? now you are stuck with them on your books because you can't get them off it. In two seasons, these clubs could be in worse PSR problems than they are now.
Young talent....are any of them going to be a man city quality player, if not, then they cant be kept
Can’t see it happening due to the high fee
Some fans just want to criticise Arteta because it makes them feel good!
I get it if you criticise him for going out of the league and FA cup too early which would’ve enabled some of the youth players a chance to show what they’re capable of! But to criticise him because these young players refused to sign a new contract shows thaws fans just want to criticise Arteta. They said Obi is leaving because of Arteta!
Obi is not the only young to have scored 32 goals in a season! None of those players in various premier and championship league clubs have never made to the top ten clubs in the Premier League!
I agree with that comment saying you keep defending Arteta
He can't have those kids on his bench on a regular basis
We lossing Patino who is clearly a needed kind of profile and plays the position that we keep having difficulties on finding good players for
Whether you like it or not he is costing us players that we might go for again in the future like Eze
Patino didn't do well on loan, he's not up to standard but at least we get a fee from him
I actually thought the guy who said he keeps defending Arteta was a bit dim.
It's up to Mertesacker to make sure these players get loaned out earlier and contracts signed and if they aren't good enough, which they aren't, to be sold for a good fee.
It's also up to the club to get a youth setup on a par with City and Chelsea which by all reports theyre addressing.
MLS and Nwaneri are the only 1st team potential players in Artetas time.
Ye would be the first to cry if Arthur Okonkwo was getting game time or even on the bench. The issue is they didn't get money for him, which isn't on Arteta.
So Arsenal failed to keep Amario Cozier-Duberry? Sad.
That's his problem , he wants go then go 🚶♂️
Is eze better than smith rowe, or is he just a starter if esr was a starter? Would his numbers not be as high or higher
Lets leave the squad alone.
Much like nico w when we already have martinelli.
Will eze come back to Arsenal to be on the bench from being a starter
There’s players I’d prefer over Eze ngl. But if some sort of swap for Nketiah and Nelson (plus 20-30m?) then I’d be up for it.
Those 2 are mid table players (let’s be honest) who I’d love to see be starters and thrive for a team like Palace.
QPR are to receive %20 of the sale of Eze
Yea
The with young players is our poor form and luck in the cup games..
We shouldn’t need to be blooding them Pl and CL games if we had a few good runs in the cups, and against non PL teams we can play the young players with some of the reserves.
We got Cesc from Barca's academy. It happens as the youth has a choice to make
ESR and Nelson would be ideal for a team like Palace.
Nketiah and Nelson would be.
ESR deserves at least a Newcastle or Villa.
Charles... Hello from india 👍🇮🇳🇮🇳
I just talked about Eze in my last video.. I'm not sure he would comeback. He maybe feels we should have not let him go
Mate, I work at Arsenal and Eze comes to watch Arsenal as fan
How is Eze's defensive work rate?
What is the point of Arsenal producing these talents for them just to leave on a free.
We should change strategy and only develops 18+ on longer deals
Omari Hutchinson is another one we lost cheap recently
Agree Charles, more young players are leaving at early ages than ever before, it's everywhere.
Chelsea lost Musiala (free), Geuhi & now Maatsan, good players.
City lost Sancho (free) & Palmer. The goal is to remain at the top, not bringing young players through! Even Fergie lost Pogba due to pathway issues
We have over 9 senior players for the bench, Martinelli, Jesus, Timber, Eddie, Vieira, Jorginho, Kiwior, Zinchenko, Ramsdale, how can the youngsters even make the bench. Realistically, most of these youngsters have no chance of even making the bench, not to talk of playing!
15 mins against PSV wouldn't make ACD sign a new a contract!
@thepremierleaguechat.6519 it's not just one game but Arteta has a reputation even outside the club of not promoting youth so no youth would resign or want to stay at the club.
Guys you want to win all and when we bring them on they show nothing @potentialswillrule
Omari Hutchinson...
If fans and journalists could blame Arteta for the conflict in the Middle East or Tsunamis in south east Asia or the shite economic situation in the UK, they would.
Eze, Kudus and Guehi would be perfect window. Fofana would be a bonus
Yes... for sure!... He's quality enough especially with the concerns of PL experience
I would rather keep ESR than splash out on Eze.
Southgate would rather cause his own distraction to the squad.
Genuinely the only reason why arsenal are letting these players go is because they aren’t good enough…simple as that….Real Madrid youth system is terrible they keep signing young talents, is there any moaning about them? No
The Eze links is so annoying, the guy literally isn't better than ESR, he plays in a team that loads of space which is why Martinelli struggled last season & ESR to get minutes cause teams are sitting back & we was found out by teams, Saka struggled as well but he got his G/A up luckily, Eze is so overrated i swear!
Why do you feel obligated to defend anything that comes out of Arsenal football club and Mikel Arteta? Academy graduates leaving for free defeats the sole purpose of having an academy which is progression to the first team and generating revenue from player sales. This pervasive issue of lack of income from player sales needs to be addressed seriously. By the way I’m gutted Olise is going to Bayern. Bayerns is blessed with musiala, Coman, gnarby and sane and they still went ahead to sign Olise. This is how big clubs roll. Always trying to improve the team. According to some arsenal fans, we don’t need Olise because we’ve Bukayo.
Hey Charles,
There's are fans who're worried about Mikel not promoting young players...
These lads aren't ready to play for arsenal, the club is challenging for a title (2yrs in a row). We can't eat our cake and have it.
It only becomes an issue when we get to the very top and we don't promote from the academy.
What's the word on Gyokeres?
we lost omari hutchinson miguel Aziz Marcelo Flores yunus musah and probably chido Obi-Martin & Patino !!
If the youngsters aren’t good enough for a top team then what pathway are people talking about. That’s what Wenger did and we became a bad team. If they’re good enough they will get in.
Hello Charles. This might be too much of Football Manager speaking but I have come to understand that there are soo many other considerations involved when deciding to keep or sell/loan a player. Is KT's wages worth keeping him for maybe 12-15 appearances mostly substitute? Will he be taking a squad place that could have been better utilised? What does having a senior player like that not featuring do to squad dynamics? Does KT want to go play elsewhere more regularly and if denied, how does that affect him and what does it say to other players? It's not as simple as fans think it is.
Eze, yes yes yes! A player that gets ‘bums off seats’ & can create something out of nothing. He can play anywhere along the front three & even slip into the left 8. His versatility will appeal to Arteta & he’s prem proven which ticks a lot of boxes! However, like all these Prem proven players who would seemingly slip perfectly into our squad/system, the recurring theme is, like Pedro Neto, an injury record follows them. Eze’s missed 31 games in 4 seasons, almost missing collectively a whole season which is something to bear in mind considering the potential outlay. However, Neto has always suffered & will continue to suffer with hamstring issues due to his explosive style of play therefore I feel the risk is less with Eze and worth the gamble (if you’d call it that) Top player and brings creativity and goals. Get it done Edu!
Love the videos & keep up the good work Charles.
Frazer
EZE and Nico ..
That' would be a good signing
Nah those tierney comments in the video are fucking mental, you people genuinely dont want to see this team succeed
Charles, Eze makes alot of sense, he can cover the left 8, he can come in for ordegaad in the no. 10 role, and provide cover for the left wing, he covers 3 positions and he can do all 3 effectively i.e like no drop in quality in all three positions
*Ødegaard
There is no 10. We have not played with a 10 for years.
Jfc
Arsenal need Eze, not Oliseh.
no we dont!
Eze is the player i want most, exactly what we need
Can play as an 8 or wide, gets on the ball makes things happen. Can play with Odegaard but also if Odegaard ever cant play he can also bring some of the things Odegaard does, we need a player like that as Odegaard cant play every game again
I think Xavi Simons and Kudus are similar alternatives. Kudus will defo have a release clause as bigger clubs than West Ham wanted him last summer but couldnt do the deal, im surprised he joined west ham, but he will see it as a stepping stone, so will be a clause
