As a Napoli fan I am so happy he isn't in our league anymore after how much trouble he caused us lmao, happy for Arsenal they got a gem here

Whatâs he like, is he good in attack for a defender?
@@coolsam5000 He is a great hybrid option and can do both, he was used more defensive against stronger opposition and more free flowing and attacking against others in Mottaâs Bologna. Under Spallettiâs Italy team he was playing more attacking and also had the assist in that amazing last minute goal vs Croatia!
I just saw what he did to Victor Oshime
Reminds me of Locatelli. Lots of links to Arsenal, then just ends up at Juventus anyway. Hope I'm wrong.
A back 4 of Timber / Saliba / Gabriel/ Califiori or White is mouth watering indeed. Both Timber and Califiori can play in different spots on the back line and keeping Tomi and Kvior for rotation with the FA and Carabao Cup and Champions League they will need bodies.
They will sell Kiwior to milan or juve for sure, hes excess if arsenal get calafiori. However i prefer if they sell zinchenko rather than kiwior
@@pranavyarlagadda8406itâll probably be zinchenko. Not both. Especially when you factor in potential injuries
I reckon arteta keeps zinchenko. Purely because hes a different type of lb. I havent seen calafiori play at all but from what people are telling me, hes basically a better version of kiwior, so theres no point having 2 of the same player where u could have a different profile with zini
agreed. we need 4 right footed and 4 left footed defenders. 3 cups needs rotation, and White is ready made right CB:
ti/to sal/wht gab/kiw CAL/zin

Finally! He's returned to the man I knew! The luscious locks are gone!

Heâs not going to usurp Gabriel. Heâs our version of Gvardiol. The only reason Gabriel wasnât playing early on last season was because he had his head turned by a Saudi team. He even says he sat down with Arteta and was convinced to stay on. Arteta and Edu know what theyâre doing.

really good player, wouldâve loved him at liverpool tbh
With Liverpool's history with Italian players, I wouldn't touch him with a bargepole
We can't break up our centerback pairing. Gabriel, Saliba + Rice is our foundation.
We couldn't be more excited!
First ever time on this channelđź i love this guy already đ hows it that im only seeing this guy now???
Wont last
He is very good
@@syncopaint_minis3016 Like your title hopes every season
i like what i am hearing, cheers Laurence
Very glad we got Trossard instead of Mudryk.
LB is definitely a position to strengthen. Tomi is injury prone, and Zinchenko is great on the ball, but an easy target out of possession. Calafiori seems like the guy. Arteta seems to like versatile players. I''ll be honest, he wasn't on my radar until all the rumours started
Katy Perry You're so good, I'm Italian
Like you say, Calafiori has played many games at LB. Maybe that's Mikel's plan, LB and cover for Gabriel Megalegs?
He was a LB until very recently.
At 22 he's also missed over 150 games thru injury...
Megalegs yeah đđŒđđđ
@@JasonCook-sx2ex most of that was a terrible leg break he suffered when he was 18 - took him 18 months to recover.
@@SenorjrjrIII Ffs, first u come out megalegs and now a player missed 150 games in 18 months
Happy 12th birthday for tomorrow chump
If Arteta wants him there is a reason why.
Interesting video as ever, pleased to hear so many think Calafiori will work best in LB. Hoping to see Timber's right foot in RB, allowing White to also cover/rotate with Saliba - 4 lefties, 4 right footed... essentially replaced Soares:
ti/to sal/wht gab/kiw cal/zin
- ramsdale, tomi, white, kiwior, zinchenko could develop a solid second unit for domestic cup and pre-UCL prem games... Then, just add
1ïžâŁMusiala
2ïžâŁa left footed RW

Hope vieira and ESR come through, sell everyone else.

Thanks Daniel!
YOU ARE THE GUY BEHIND CHUNKZ & FILLY HAHA
The hair was fire Lawrence.. The previous
He's a clever player.
He'd rather join a team that has a concrete plan for him and the club than join a team that's trying to buy everyone in the market with a scatter gunner approach.
I'm 100% sure that he'd rather join a big club who've won the UCL, not a small one who need 7 years just to qualify for it....
â@@JasonCook-sx2exand what past trophies do now when your team is terrible rn? We live in 2024
and you dont even play in the ucl, confrence league and expensive flips merchants
I liked the video for your t shirt!! Go Warriors!!!
Really like the sound of this signing, it was always likely we would go for another versatile, physical defender and Calafiori fits the bill so, so well.
My only thought is that the analysis of yourself and others seems to downplay the role that Timber will have for us next season. Timber played 1 full game for Arsenal last season (and looked incredible) and it was expected he would be a nailed on starter. Timber will get plenty of minutes, whether thatâs keeping Calafiori out of the side to begin with or playing a more flexible role in midfield and covering LB/RB remains to be seen. Great to have so many options from a tactical standpoint.
Guessing heres another versatile one cdm included knowing arteta
He makes Arsenal a lot more unpredictable. We can even play 334 with him and Ben White supporting Rice in the midfield. Then track back as wing back. I'm sure we'll get one more player in midfield and one more in attack. Arsenal's strength is leaving the opponent guessing where is who.
Have u seen him play in Italy?
@@JasonCook-sx2ex I watched Euros yes. But ofc with Ars his role will be different.
@@sathyantinku9177 On TV and not as a coach or scout right?
@@JasonCook-sx2ex what does it matter man?
@@sathyantinku9177 I watched big UCL winning club Man City win the treble on TV but that doesn't make me an expert by thinking they can play 334 with Akanji supporting Rodri in the midfield then track back as wing back does it you fool?.
Stick to playing FIFA, eating crayons, petting your goat and riding your tricycle chump
Calafiori fits every team!
Great watch as always đđż
If Arsenal get Calafiori, it will be a 2 horse race next season. Liverpool will be lucky to finish 3rd. As a Liverpool supporter what I'm seeing is what FSG promised: to turn LFC into late-Wenger Arsenal: top 4, knockout stages of the CL and the odd cup...
If u get Havertz and Kiwior u may win it...
mudryk wudv developed really well in arsenal instead of flopping at chelsea
Guys don't forget to let Loz know what you think down below
If Arsenal get Calafiori for left-back, what do you think about Timber taking right-back and then Ben White moving into DM coving the right hand side in a double pivot with Rice covering the left?
(If I recall correctly, I think White played DM on loan for Leeds, which is where my thinking for this comes from)
Timber can play DM, heâs got that Ajax passing range too
@@sargonsblackgrandfather2072 Ffs wheelie Ajax don't play in the EPL and Timber played 58 mins in it last season looool
Stick to playing FIFA
@@JasonCook-sx2ex hey Dusty, Ajax have four European Cups to their name and have produced some of the greatest players in the game, wouldnât expect you to know anything about football history as a Man Cheaty plastic fan who only started following the game in 2010.
@sargonsblackgrandfather2072 Hey Wheelie, how about getting back to clubbing some seals and leave the footie tchat o real match going fans.
Good boy
Off ya fcuk then
Aside playing him as a left back, left center back, Calafiori can play as a six assuming Arteta want to play with two central DMs. Mine is here we go.
The only way I see him at DM is when he is inverting
I think he would combine well with nico williams if we sign him to for the LW
think he'd link up well with existing LW's; martinelli, trossard, jesus. Maybe a new Left AM like Musiala too đ€
Iâm excited to see him as a Gooner. And Timber didnât even get a chance last season so Iâm very excited to see him play as well. Seems we have a pretty stacked defense if we sign this guy. Zinchenko needs to be moved on unfortunately, too many slip ups.
Zinchenko should play in his natural position in midfield.
@@syncopaint_minis3016 Like he does for World and Euro Champions Ukraine?
He's a clown
calafiori is just what arsenal need for the left hand side, since they've been a little too dependent on the right side
Especially after Arteta's only spent nearly 300m on his defence...

He looks a good player. But cb isnt really the area i would be adding to, unless kiwor is leaving.
If calafiori does actually sign, kiwior will be gone.
He also plays LB. So thatâs two birds with one signing
LB as well
@@grizzlybear1633 He's missed 150 games through injury in the last 5 years
Trust the Process xx
Really surprised United didnât go in for him
Holy shit. So much better without that long hair man
Thank god we didnât get Mudrik
God is Good.
Think this signing makes the back line injury proof
Timber was absolutely intended to play LB (as we saw in preseason and the first match when he got injured. LB was only a weak spot because he was then out all season. This deal suggests that Zinchenko will be on his way to Bayern. Arteta will do to him what he did to Ben White on the right. To have Timber and Calafiori at LB while the latter can also be backup for Gabriel is a big improvement over last season and turns out weakest area into a very strong one. Now we just need to sign a big time 6 and weâre significantly better than last season when Jorginho had to start for 4-5 months.
I'd expect Timber in RB more, tackling right footed with back to goal. With 3-cups, White can play right CB as well, cover/rest Saliba, strike up partnership with kiwior for two units:
ti/to sal/wht gab/kiw CAL/zin
also prefer rice stays in no.6 and a new creative left AM, we rely upon Ode's creativity too much, and Rice is too good at 6
Gooner here: I like our squad, and with a healthy preseason we don't NEED any major signings.
There are a few places where we could tweak things, maybe have a player who isn't what you might call 'irreplaceable', but in general, in Arteta and Edu we trust.
Just came across your channel good stuff . Subscribed â€ïžđ€đđŒ
Awesome! Thank you!
Toni Kroos to Arsenal !
Timber is back.so i still wonder about this
Timber is right footed đ€·đ»ââïž
Ah great you cut your hair! Neat.
I trust Edu and Arteta. I would like A bid for Fabian Ruiz. Also we need a quality cover for Saka. It can be Jesus, but he is also support for Havertz as striker. I am not sure who.
If Calafiori comes in, Timber has to surely play DM.
Keep Zinchenko without a shadow of a doubt. There are games perfectly made for his skill set, absolutely đŻ
We closed the gap to just 2 points with these players. Keep them and add to this blend letâs beat City before evolving this squad! đ€·đœââïž
Miss the tactics board/presentation
does this mean ferdi is not coming then
What is 2-7-2??
Motta speak.
Motta was trying to impress people with that silly comment. What he means is a 4-1-4-1 formation with 2 wide players on either flank and a sweaper keeper.
Normal people give the formation on the pitch vertically, he gave the formation horizontally.
Why? So he'd grab headlines and seem smart.
Motta is probably one of the least likable people in football and has very few admirers from the places he's been.
â@@laurencemckenna This was a very good video btw laurence
It's a vertical setup. 2 players on the left third, 7 centrally and the other 2 on the right third
Cmon man you serious? He is the player I actually wanted at Juve the most this summerđą
Juventus is the Bayern of the Italian league. You lot just buy the top players from the domestic league by throwing money at selling clubs and players. About time an Italian player ventured out of the country to challenge themselves.
Mission Failed Mikel (slyarsenal), Australians version of Timmy Mallet, back again to share more of his delusion and piss poor excuses for 4 years of abysmal and embarrassing failure.
Let us begin...
"Arteta is creating a backline that is interchangeable and flexible" by signing a 2 bob GK to replace his "marquee signing" Ramsdale the Clown who's career he's now ruined, and 4 injury prone defenders who can't stay fit for longer than a week. Genius! đ€Ł
"About time an injury prone Italian player ventured out of the country to win nothing under Arteta just like all of his 27 signings haven't. World class đ
Then to top it all....
He's now looking to sign another injury prone clown who in the last 5 years has missed 150 games. Masterstroke! đ
Stick to Aussie Rules chump....
@@slyarsenal Clueless as ever...

@@user-tr9kw7jz3z I agree with the second half of that statement, its funny how the only people they want are linked to us. However if you go to games, like I do. you will have 100% seen progress. We are way better than before.
Great player. Bt is this lb a priority for Arsenal? Its not. Unless heâs playing cb.
It definitely is when kiwior is sold.
@@grizzlybear1633 timber? R we writing him off? To me, arsenal should bet the house on a world class attacker (forward, inside forward or winger). This is wht will make the difference. If thereâs ÂŁ50m left over for a lb, fine.
â@@grizzlybear1633 I'd rather keep Kiwior over Zinchenko. Kiwior has actually improved a lot since he's gotten a run of games.
LB is the only position where we don't have a regular started in last season, our attack is fine tbh, it was shit when we were playing Havertz LCM and Nketiah as striker, but ever since Havertz moved to striker we're good enough. We can improve, but LB is more a priority 100%.
I just don't understand the signing because Kiwior and Calafiori take up the same spot on the bench as they are virtually the same player. so why bring him in if we already have 4 lb's unless we are 100% moving at least 2 of them
God forbid if Gabriel goes down and arsenal have a game with city are U confident with kiwior at left centre back?
@@samuelpopoola9510 Arteta signed Kiwior, are u not confident with his signings?
@@samuelpopoola9510 absolutely⊠Kiwior is no Rob Holding⊠respect him

Liverpool sitting around once again. Arteta has the rep. Slot doesn't.
Liverpool's a big UCL & 19 X Title winning club...Arsenal aren't...
I donât think weâre getting him they usually move in silence - all this info being out is abit suspect
I don't think Arsenal is signing him,firstly we have 7 defenders with each of them capable of playing in multiple positions with Tomi,Kiwior capable of covering the LCB and LB position and Timber,Zinchenko for the LB
If we are to sell some players this will make much more sense
besides we all know it's difficult for Italians to leave Italy Remember Locatelli rumours!?
let's see what happens very unlikely
we have 7 defenders with each of them capable of playing in multiple positions - 4 of them injury prone
Mudryk is a championship player with pace.
When he has confidence he's a much better player. There's something about him but we might never see it at Chelsea.
I'm telling you he would have been great for Arsenal. The reason he doesn't play well is because he regrets going to Chelsea. His first match for Chelsea was his best, and he showed glimpses of what he can do, but he's looked uninterested since. You can kinda tell by just looking at him, seems unhappy, like he doesn't want to be there, understandably so...
Yesss, he has short hair!!!! He no longer looks like a hobo
Put Calafiori at full back, then push Timber into the middle, alongside Rice, with Rice playing behind Odegard
Put timber at lone pivot, rice as left 8 and odeegard at right 8.
I usually don't want your videos but now that you've got a haircut I'll watch
I do more often than not trust in arteta but this transfer just makes me think of the start of the season when he played partey as a right back and Gabriel was on the bench. It went awfully and I feel yet again he's trying to remove Gabriel from the team, which considering how amazing his partnership was with saliba, could yet again lead to a weak start of the season that may cost the title. Another point is that timber seems like he's gonna be the guy in the left, so calafiori feels like a replacement for kiwior for the price of a starter with us currently having 4 players for that position (and 2/3 for lcb).
I love Arteta but if he proceeds to make the same mistake this season by breaking up the Gabriel/Saliba partnership for no apparent reason then my patience will wear thin.
Completely fine to make a mistake once and learn from it but he can't repeat it again.
â@@StephenC1908both of you don't know what plan was, and you don't know how the plan changed after timber injury, it was a complete change of plan which make me even putting more trust on arteta bcoz plan b almost worked, so it looks like he don't want to rely on timber alone as we don't know how he is going to play from that injury, trust me, we have the best coach on our hands
đâ@@makei89
@makei89 Everyone knows what the plan was because he literally implemented it last autumn when he had a fully fit squad. During that period we were underperforming in comparison to our form after Christmas.
Playing Partey at left-back didnât work. The same goes for Kai Havertz in midfield, so he moved Havertz to centre-forward.
As Iâve said, I donât mind if Arteta makes a mistake as long as he doesnât repeat it.
Your comment is rather poorly written. I can barely understand what youâre saying.
He is not breaking that partnership up. It is going to be Califiori, Gabi, Saliba, Timber/White.
Another defender?
Unless you are Maldini, I cant think of any CB who hasnt given away a penalty. And doing stupid things is not an exclusive trait of Arsenal players.

Wtf is wrong with FSG đđ
I donât think heâll be great in the prem. Seems like a hype signing to me
How do you know...??
You do always have to be wary of signings that get hyped in international tournaments.
However, starting for Italy at just 22yo suggests a guaranteed high level of composure and discipline, especially for a defensive player. Combine that with the fact heâs had an incredible season with Bologna, and the fact that Arteta really has earned our trust with signings and talent development, and this looks like an excellent addition for Arsenal.
why do you like arsenal so much?
I love close by and my wife supports them. Loved them since early 2000s with Wenger and like the fans.
@@laurencemckenna ok, thx
@@laurencemckenna thats actually incredibly sweet
â@@laurencemckennaI see what you did there đ Big up
â@laurencemckenna Your wife has good taste. Well done đ
idk anything about Califiori, but also I think the problem with Mudryk is Chelsea. None of their signings except Palmer have performed at their level.
If Arsenal are sgning a left footed CB, might it mean that they're getting bids for Gabriel?
Gabriel nearly left last Summer but can't see it happening this year. There has been interest in Italy for Kiwior (left footed centre back that can cover LB) so I think he will probably leave if Calafiori is signed. I could also see either Zinchenko or Tomi being sold if a good offer comes in as Timber is fit again.
Why Calafiori fits Arsenal, because Liverpool are too pussy to make any deals as always
Fake news heâs going to Chelsea
Chelshit and conference league football I donât think so
It's already confirmed boy. You can go cry now
Did you see him play for Italy?
Done? We shouldnât ever be inâŠ..
140 missed games due to injuriesâŠ
140
With an aging VVD, injury prone Konate and Gomez, why the hell would we even consider him?! Yes a great player, but 140 games out is insane for his age. Also this just screams hype signing, before the Euros, no one really even heard of this guy. Yet you have players like Dragusin who signed for Spurs and barely played, having an amazing time at the Euros. That is more of a player you try to turn to LFC
