Arsenal vs Liverpool to sign Andre | Watkins & Luiz DOUBLE DEAL? | Latest News Show

I guess that's right People deluded I'm back again Come on Dio And with an introduction like that what more can I say? People deluded I'm back again Thank you very much for tuning back in each and every time I hope you're doing well and safe on this Monday afternoon On that, good morning, good afternoon, good evening and of course good night whether you're on Twitch YouTube, Twitter, wherever you are in this world If you're on YouTube, do me a favour, smash the like button regardless of whatever platform you're on Please make sure you're commenting any thoughts, opinions differences of opinions, all of that good stuff Football, the beautiful thing about football I always say is, it's objective and the world would be a boring place if we all thought the same So yeah, I welcome all thoughts people I hope you're doing well and safe I'm basically hearing out of one ear man I bought this, I don't know what the hell's going on with my ear but, yeah man It's like I'm only hearing outside of my left ear but the show must continue, big up yourself my dude Man said, brother just let us have Andre please, I've gone through too much of this with Caicedo and Lavia, in my opinion and again at 5pm a video will drop on the man in question, Andre I've kind of done a more in-depth kind of short video for you lot, I've dropped the link there so, in terms of the nitty gritty, I'll offer my opinions there, but I personally think he's going to Liverpool for what it's worth, I think you lot have done the groundwork in the summer, again you know, football is a weird game because at one point you would have thought Modric ended up at Arsenal, where did he go? You would have thought Kody Gappo ended up at Manchester United where did he go? And there's been many other twists and turns that are not exclusive to us or Liverpool. I deffo sympathise with you because Enzo Fernandes, Chiwemeni Caicedo, Lavia, you've been with that. I think you're going to get him purely because I think you've done the groundwork in the summer I think, you know, Klopp or whoever is in charge at Liverpool have to be in constant contact obviously it's going to cost a lot of money and the more clubs that are interested in him the better but I think you lot have done everything but for us obviously Edu's Brazilian, emerging markets are where we need to be hitting up I would like another number 6 and number 8 it all depends on Andre because I think they're two massive clubs, you know, Liverpool's magical Arsenal's magical. In terms of playing more on a regular basis, you look at Arsenal you've got Partey, you've got Jorginho who plays a bit of a different sort of 6 role technically not that Andre would be scared but you've got El Nene and of course you've got Declan Rives. If you look at Liverpool it seems like, you know, there's a ready made spot for you feeling the void that fellow countryman Fabinho left, you know, McAllister's probably been playing as a 6, you know, Gravenbeck can do that, Szabó's like, in theory can do that but you don't want him there, he's better further forward. It seems like there's a spot for him really and truly so I think you're going to get him, man. I've been told that we have a gentleman's agreement with both Andre and Firminze for the move in January but I might be wrong bro, Enzo wasn't a thing, we never went in with him or bidded fair enough. In relation to the gentleman's bid there you have it and I guess you're just hoping that he honours that but unfortunately in football or in life or in business, unless it's, you know, I's are dotted T's across and things are, you know confirmed on paper and there's a legally blinding agreement, gentleman's agreements mean nothing. How many times, more so them lot down the road, how many players have been set to sign for Spurs and they've jetted off Williams one, Petit's another one and many others people. So yeah, if you're on YouTube, smash the like button, send McAllister back to Brighton be harsh really and truly, I think he's doing alright. You lot, I'm not going to say he hasn't played deeper in midfield before because he has but definitely since, you know, he's become this household name in the Premier League Liverpool probably have him playing a lot deeper than you would be and that's the only thing in my opinion that could calm Liverpool in that you've got a good squad, I think you're in a title challenge but obviously you don't have the biggest squad and to be fair, when you won the Champs, when you won the Prem, you never, you didn't have a big squad but you don't have the biggest of squads and you don't have a number six really and truly you think he's mid, be harsh man, obviously respectfully to Brighton and doing wavy stuff at Brighton and doing wavy things at Liverpool elsewhere is another thing but allowing man, to be fair with you, obviously football is football whatever, you know, if I just say some random coaches, Jose, Wenger, Conte you know, three very different managers but fundamentally you need to defend goals coming in your net and you need footballs in the back of your own net so football is the same but give the man a chance, you know, it's a different training regime, it's a different club it's a different sort of thing, obviously a lot of Liverpool players need a bit of gelling in really, I don't know about this Andre guy, how good is he? I like him a lot, the only glaring things I could say, sometimes he dilly-dallies on the ball, obviously he's only 5 foot 7 and it's reflected in statistically, he's not going to win too many aerial draws and things like that but other than that I think, and I think his passing could be a bit more expansive but he's got a decent passing range, he's got a big engine, you look at the heat map, all of this is covered in the video coming out at 5pm, he gets all up and down the play sometimes I think he can pick up one book in too many, obviously if he's signed for Liverpool or Arsenal, he's in the Premier League and there'll be harsh lessons but at 23 years of age I think personally there's a solid grounding in him, really and truly and I like him a lot, I don't know him religiously but I like him man. Now we're one player off competing for the title, City and Arsenal are both better at the moment, Andre is a baller already making the Brazil national team at 22 years of age with Jimenez, two caps to his name so you're bang on the money and again regardless of what club you support you've probably seen it, it costs an arm and a leg to buy a player so it can help to go into emerging markets of such. Saying that, Florence if you hear Arsenal, Liverpool he's actually been linked with Benfica, Dortmund Ajax, when you hear all these European clubs boy you're going to want top money in it, now obviously what clubs in England and what clubs are going to pay in the other top five divisions are completely different things man, yeah his discipline is questionable, for me he's like Thiago but better defensively, he's a decent player, there's similarities in my opinion with Bruno Piemare and loosely Jorginho but he's very much a different player man really. So yeah let's get into everything, as you can see tab police look away, we're probably going to go all the way to there, again shameless promotion, if you don't promote yourself in this life then who will but yeah like I said at 3pm a video, 3pm I'm lying to you lot, at 5pm a video is coming out from myself touching a bit more in depth specifically on the man in question but yeah keep your thoughts coming Arsenal Gunners now want Munster player ahead of Liverpool, as I said I think Liverpool are going to win the race for that if Arsenal want to compete for silverware once more then January could be a crucial turning point especially if they beat Liverpool to the signature of their midfield target, the latest Andre Trindade I can't pronounce it forgive me, transfer news relayed by This Is Anfield has claimed that the Gunners are interested in signing the midfielder according to reports Arsenal sporting director Eddie Gaspar has even visited the Fluminense training ground which has only added fuel to the fire, now there's a couple of things with that typically when a player is close to signing for a team like maybe Liverpool you start hearing other teams are interested and they're going to try and because Zamp Arsenal or Liverpool too so Edu could have been at the ground you know I would have loved for him to have a conversation about the player in question but it is the international break he's back in his homeland and he is the sporting director now obviously sporting directors your primary job is to find players for the first team and all the other stuff that comes with it but it's also about developing relationships and partnerships and all of that other jazz so it's not exactly 2 plus 2 equals 4 necessarily in relation to Edu's visit coincidentally back in his homeland with Fluminense who the man in question plays for but I'd love to be wrong of course people the official reason for the visit was to learn about Fluminense's youth development process and to continue the strong partnership between the clubs the fact that Andre is a Fluminense player makes Edu's visit all the more interesting however especially given the recent reports the Serie A season in Brazil ends in December potentially allowing Andre to make a January departure from his current side which is true and did you not hear that was one of the alleged primary reasons as to why they didn't want to let him go apparently despite Fluminense sitting frustratingly sick in Serie A Andre has still left many impressed with his performances doing enough to earn his first two caps for the Brazilian national team and has he not played under is it Denise who's now the Brazil manager but I'm sure is or was at one point the Fluminense gaffer who earned a reputation for his tactics now if you're going to play on the Jurgen Klopp or Mikel Arteta you've got to be able to retain information and implement what they want on the training from the training ground on the pitch so that's also something really intriguing apparently interceptions per 90 minutes he scores higher than Kai Havertz and Fabio Vieira not really the fairest of comparison because Kai Havertz and Fabio Vieira they're all sentiments of course but two very three very different players Andre's you know I'm pretty sure again if there's a sample size that allows Fabio Vieira and maybe even Kai Havertz probably score a bit higher in certain attacking metrics and they're three different sorts of players you know really and truly they probably should have put Thomas Partey or Declan Rice or El Nene if he even has a sample size really but he scores higher than the two men in question for interceptions per 90 for progressive passes and also for take-ons completed. Fluminense didn't want to sell Andre because of the Copa Libertadores he had a 40 million euro release clause but you can probably get him for half that in January so there you have it. I legit think if you put Roger or Declan Rice in our midfield we'll win the league this season but once again left short Bruno Gomarez is a very good comparison and you know what the last time we missed out on Bruno Gomarez I was very disappointed people. So yeah man and he's earning a lot of credits and apparently a journalist has said pressure and playing with the confidence of someone who knows they're different. Get out the way and make the team work. Andre is the best midfielder in the country and is a monster of a player really so there you have it. Who is Andre? The Brazilian wonder kid linked with Arsenal and Liverpool transfer people. He's 22 years of age, he's a central midfielder, obviously was born in Brazil people. He's a defensive midfielder often playing as Fluminense's number six in a double pivot. His play style is somewhat similar to Arsenal's Thomas Partey. Comfortable receiving the ball in the half turn. Like Partey, Andre is a capable passer but is also happy to progress the ball with his dribbling. I'd more say ball carrying even though they're the same thing for instance you know Declan Rice compared to I don't know what they got you know Declan Rice can carry a ball it's not exactly dribbling but we all know it is the same thing. People smash the like button let me know your thoughts. Like Partey, Andre is a capable passer but is also happy to progress the ball with his dribbling. A hugely important asset against the press. The Fluminense starlet boasts some impressive in possession numbers averaging 5.95 progressive passes and 1.49 successful take on per 90 minutes. His defensive numbers are also solid registering 1.2 tackles and 1.3 interceptions in the league according to who scored people. In recent years, Casemiro has been a top one player in his position in Europe playing in the best competitions. So it's been a period of learning I'm trying to learn a lot from him from his movements from his marking as he's the player who most resembles me. So he sees comparisons with Casemiro which is music to Arsenal fans and I'm sure Liverpool fans two midfielders one striker I'd go with that I would love a number eight I would love another eight I'd love a six I'd like a striker I wouldn't mind another winger I would love another winger and I would like for Arsenal I kind of see it now with all the games we've played if you could get another defensive body that's a bit like Timber a bit like Tommy Yasu that can play in a couple of positions. Andres is on his way to Anfield I already booked his flight and the Uber will be at the airport when he lands. Fair enough lad. Big up Marcel because you're always here. Apparently the president of Fluminense said the chief executive of Liverpool contacted me directly and I replied to him my friend I don't sell a player now I don't deliver now if you want to buy now to take in January we can start talking if you want to wait until December then we talk in December so he's quite specific there really and truly. Say in this first hand we didn't receive a proposal for him only surveys for Andres so maybe Liverpool have been doing their due diligence and seeing what the groundwork would take to buy someone versus actually bidding in other clubs as well really so only surveys we chose not to sell him because we believe that we would reach the final stages of the Libertadores so sporting decision as well and maybe they weren't provided with an offer that's far too good for them to turn down because if you did maybe a bit of overpaying for all clubs they would have you know money talks in this life they would have to let man move it's as simple as that so we'll have to see. It was a decision made with sporting criteria said he said people. Once again Arsenal are poised to rival Liverpool for the signing of highly rated Fluminense midfielder Andres Ferrandes so yeah man I think by now we've already seen all of that people. Apparently whoever Ferreira is Thiago Ferreira a journalist in Brazil claims the Gunners are prepared to battle it out for the 22 year old who is considered to be one of the best young players in South America once again he operates primarily as a defensive midfielder despite being a youngster he's already vastly experienced he has over 150 first team appearances to his name for Fluminense and earned his first cap this year people he's got two caps to his name. It is believed there's a release code embedded in the midfielders contract at Fluminense though it is yet unclear what the number it's set at so maybe Liverpool or Arsenal want to get him cheaper than that which for business it makes sense. It's been claimed elsewhere that Andres is valued at around 30 million a price which Arsenal sporting director Edu is willing to match. If it comes down to it I think he picks Liverpool purely because not that Arsenal couldn't sell him a good project he's got bare Brazilians here we're doing exciting things but I think Liverpool's a magical club Klopp and that obviously they've probably been chatting to him for a while as I said and when you look at Arsenal's team and his team and Liverpool's team Klopp's team it just seems that you can fit slight in. What I have liked is that in recent weeks we've been linked with Zouba Mendy again being linked and actually buying someone is a completely different thing but we've been linked with obviously Andre, Zouba Mendy, Douglas Luiz which we're going to get on to so maybe maybe a midfielder is on the agenda for not just Liverpool but Arsenal as well in January. I don't think we're going to buy a striker, maybe a lesser known profile. I don't think we're going to spend what Brentford probably want for Ivan Toni. I think that's a summer thing and I believe kind of the same where Pedro Neto's concerned. So yeah once again Arsenal and Liverpool continue to scout him. Obviously he came close to joining Liverpool in the summer. Allegedly Arsenal officials have been in Brazil for talks with Fluminense about Andre. Liverpool meanwhile have been told by the club's sporting director that they would entertain bids in the region of 34 million in January. So we'll have to watch that one. Apparently Arsenal are interested in him and are willing to battle it out and apparently we're also interested in 17 year old forward Ilas, K Ilas, you know I can't say his name but again until he turns 18 he couldn't sign for Arsenal. I want to see that you know buy these emerging players. I don't know nothing about this Don. I'll do my research after. I'm sure you lot know a lot more than me man. How much do you rate Andre? I like him. I'm not a religious knower of the guy but from what I've seen out of 10 I give him a strong 7 or 8 with scope to be a lot better really. And obviously for me if you've got Declan Rice in his best years if you bring in Andre you've got two players that are in their best years. You look at Partey your best years are in front of you. He's contracted until 2025. I don't know if and when Arsenal will extend this contract or look to move him on in the summer. There was rumblings last summer really. I do think if we can get a certain midfielder there's that to be said. Obviously Jorginho isn't getting any younger and he's a valued member of the squad but he doesn't play week in week out. There's certain games like when we beat City where he can be utilised but yeah Partey, El Nene and Jorginho they're not going to be here long term really. Lokonga he's meady so yeah if he was good then his age profile makes him perfect but if we could have Declan Rice another 6 with age in front of the best years in front of them another number 8 then I think we're cooking. If you're going for DM's then does this mean Arteta's long term plan is to use Rice as a box to box? Yes and no I think. You want the option to have two 6's a lone 6 or maybe Declan Rice plays a lot more expansive. In recent weeks you've seen Declan Rice probably playing his more organic West Ham row as a 6. Early on in the season he was kind of learning and getting to grips with playing as an 8 so I'd say a bit of both really and truly if I'm completely honest with you bro but great question and keep them coming man. Not just you but everybody tuned in. Again you lot make the platform what it is. So yeah let's carry on moving Once again Edu was spotted at Fluminense's training ground and probably a lot of that is you know building bonds and all of that sort of stuff so you can't draw too many conclusions but it would be good. Fabrizio Romano has said Arsenal have been monitoring Pedro Neto for some time and I can also say that Arsenal always keep monitoring the same players they like logically speaking. That's what every club should be doing. Aston Villa's midfielder Douglas Luiz remains one of them. He's always been appreciated I mean you signed a new contract to Aston Villa it seems like they're going to want way too much for you but if Arsenal do want him and they do like him and they do have an appreciation why not really but I would like someone that kind of upgrades starting XI if that kind of makes sense. I don't know if Douglas Luiz does that. If Arteta believes he can, fair enough really. I don't know why I've got our recent results but it does look bloody good don't it folks really. You know we lost to Lens but we beat City and we live to fight another day in half the other games. We've also been linked with Monaco's Fufana you may have been, you may have sorry you may have seen social media mention Monaco's Yusuf Fufana as an Arsenal target this evening. This is very much true and was discussed way back in Balogun talks in the summer. It's one to watch on a pre-contract to join next summer should it happen so I assume with that his contract is running down people so I have to see. It's for any move does not hinder the contract talks of Thomas Partey. Arsenal simply want to protect a value on the Garnet so there could be contract talks over Partey but as we know there's a lot of stuff. Any international watchalongs in the pipeline DG pause I'm probably going to do England Italy tomorrow if I'm honest with you and then fortunately we're over that and it's Arsenal Do you know what? Saturday I might attempt to do Liverpool Everton I'm sure Brighton's got a decent game I'm not sure who Brighton are playing but I'm sure Brighton's got a little decent game there and then obviously Arsenal in the evening so I think we'll clean up really. In fact let me actually look at that. I'm sure Brighton got someone half decent. What's the date on the weekend? 21st. I'm sure Saturday's a decent day for football. Obviously Arsenal got Chelsea. Liverpool Everton as I said. Brighton City at 3pm. Mate you know I think we could do that you know. Yeah that should be a decent game. I know Brighton aren't exactly doing amazing but yeah big up yourself K and George appreciate you lot tuning in. Carrying on moving the theme. We've been linked with Arthur Vermeeren who again can play as a defensive midfielder is playing in the Champions League. He's been a regular the last let's call it 12, 18 months now playing in Belgium. He's actually been called up because of Trossach's injury into the Belgian squad and I like him. I think he's got a good passing range I think his footballing intelligence is very good as well man and again you can see why Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Dortmund, Juventus and a bunch of other clubs have been linked with Barcelona heavily on the case. City as you can see and the chance to learn on the Pep Guardiola could be something far too good to turn down but allegedly City, Arsenal, Spurs have all been in contact with Royal Antwerp over the 18 year old midfielder people he's been a revelation over the past 12 months as he said he's a young defensive midfielder so indirectly I know Andre's got a couple of years on him but they fit the profile of midfielders with their best years quote unquote in front of them 90 Minute understands Man City, Arsenal and Tottenham have each made enquiries to Antwerp about Vermeer who has a contract until 2026 after signing a new one last season the day after he turned 18 that was protecting his value and probably increasing the contract length but the Premier League trio are not alone in showing interest. Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Juventus are all keeping watch meaning he has at least half a dozen of Europe's biggest clubs keeping an eye on his progress again monitoring someone doesn't mean you're going to move for them it just means being sure you know the more you watch someone the more you know about their strengths and weaknesses obviously how they can tie into your team really that young Argentina left back Valentine Barco us and Brighton have been linked looks good every link I see with him seems to be he's going to Manchester City big up DG if Edu signs Andre he better come with Alexander too that was kind of funny but yeah moving on with that Arsenal apparently still looking to sign Oli Watkins Oli Watkins may have signed the new contract with Aston Villa but that doesn't seem to put Arsenal off their pursuit of the England forward we know Arsenal would probably want to strike in the summer we've been linked to Oli Watkins for a minute obviously signed a new deal which harm stuff was he better than Lokonga when we signed he's better than Lokonga really I think Lokonga as much as it's clearly an ability thing while you're not playing I think it's an attitude thing and I don't mean attitude like Graham Zunis about Paul Pogba it's just you seem you don't seem balanced like you seem like you get over ruled and I don't think you what's the word man that you don't impose yourself on a football field and I feel Lokonga's problem is I think you're a six in an Arsenal team but you ain't got defensive awareness to really be a six so I think at present you're probably an eight I'm sorry but I'm an Arsenal man I've seen brilliant midfielders play for my football club I can't sit here and tell you Lokonga is an eight and off the ball is whatever innit it's sad because he went looting where respectfully you know if you're going on loan at looting your best you know your days at not Arsenal are numbered the only thing that can save you is probably excelling in a looting shirt unfortunately he's picked up an injury it was announced earlier this month that Watkins has penned new terms with the villains until 2028 during an exciting time for an MRA squad reports out of Spain reckons Arsenal will still move in January for England's most recent match winner now again you're probably more likely to sign Ivan Tony because they've given him a new contract which strengthens their hand he's in decent form it's a Euros year obviously moving to a bigger club can boost your Euro chances but it can also harm you there's something to be said for stability really and truly if I'm honest with you so maybe it's a summer move and you know is a striker the most vital position Arsenal need to sign in January I would think on one hand yes because you know obviously strikers score goals you turn some draws into victories you turn some defeats into draws more points on the board but you can make a case for central midfield for wide areas where Saka plays maybe depending on Timbers progress with his injury for another defensive aspect you are aware Fulham are winning the race for Andre right there was an article that came out in September about him the team's asking prices 20 million but wanted to sell him in January why Fulham are leading the race it all depends where you read Liverpool, Arsenal, Fulham again the only benefits are Fluminense you know again I'm not an Indian I'm going to have to take your word for it it would be great for Fulham if they get him really so yeah while I would want a new striker I don't think I think that's a summer thing for us because how much are they going to ask for Ollie Watkins we all know football in football you can ask whatever you want for players now how much is Ollie Watkins going to be worth you know we all know the striker market is on the floor how much is he going to be worth because if I'm asking Villa I'm looking at regardless of if I think Ivan Tony's better or worse how much is Ivan Tony's asking price how much did this striker go for and that striker and I can't see us doing that if I'm honest with you especially because as you know in the summer you know I'm sure the scouts for Arsenal are probably looking at other strikers that we don't know about and I'm sure just there's more wiggle room really DG you heard about the Bloody hell no I haven't I hope not I'm a bit sceptical of him sorry was wanted by Chelsea Barca and others came to full and was awful now he's playing for Hull shows you what things can be done so yeah we've been linked with him apparently Arsenal could raise some funds by selling Emil Smithrow to Newcastle people as you know Smithrow isn't playing apparently the Magpies not unreasonably would prefer a loan deal initially but Arsenal are likely to want a guarantee of some form that would receive a hefty fee I wouldn't be I would want him to stay until the summer but I wouldn't be against Smithrow going on loan reminding the world how good he is and then if there isn't an obligation to buy if his days at Arsenal are really numbered in the summer you can go for silly money obviously Newcastle are a bit affected by FFP allegedly we are as well and we might have to sell someone in January really I'm sure we've covered that in a previous vid once again Romano has said we're still monitoring Douglas Luiz we've been linked with Ollie Watkins and Pedro Neto news won't go away we all know in the 2022 summer transfer window we tried to sign Douglas Luiz long story short it didn't happen that's another player Aston Villa who has signed the new contract and at 25 years of age is a relative key player for them apparently we're still looking at Pedro Neto as you know he's been one of the players in the most form in the Premier League has five assists and a goal in eight Premier League appearances people Romano has said we've been tracking his progress for some time it's nice to see he's gone over his injury people so yeah all of these players are going to cost a lot of money really and truly Smith Rowe has to bang Unali can't be right about it big him up Arsenal need Chelsea's accountants yeah her husband was his agent before he went Napoli and owed him money boy that's a mad thing thoughts are with anyone really Zoubamendi is reportedly Mikel Arteta's chosen one to join Declan Rice and Odegaard in Arsenal's new look midfield we've been linked with Zoubamendi last January didn't happen in the summer for his links with Arsenal and Barcelona he stayed put I can't imagine him leaving a year in January where that are you know fighting for things you activate his release clause that's one thing but the players got to want to make the move so this is probably a someone you don't know I'm a big fan of him people as it says here we were heavily linked with him last January then we had to end up signing a junior apparently now Arteta is convinced the 24 year old is the perfect fit for the side Barcelona also keen Javi talks him up all the time he has a 60 million euro release clause which is about 50 odd so there you have it I personally think we need a midfielder but fair enough Fabrizio Romano said Arsenal are more than confident to get a new deal done and sealed for Benjamin White negotiations are ongoing since August September as reported earlier White is happy at Arsenal as club want his new contract sealed after Odegaard signed last month I've been very happy with Benjamin White and at 26 years of age hopefully it continues once again and every day that comes past Smithrow is linked with a new club yesterday it was probably West Ham and Aston Villa today it's Newcastle United people and we've already gone over the Oli Watkins thing we've gone over that we've gone over that tab police look away again we've gone over that we've been linked with Dani Almo once again and he has a 52 million pound release clause but he's been also linked with Real Madrid, Barca City, Man City, Chelsea and Atletico Madrid people so make of that what you will we have been linked with young Fiorentina fullback Kayonde and Fiorentina are looking to tie him down after Arsenal interest I think he's contracted until 2025 Fiorentina are preparing a new contract that will triple Michael Kayonde's salary to starve off interest from Arsenal and Bundesliga clubs the 19 year old plays primarily as a right back but can also work on the left so his versatility must be something that's alerted us as well as him only turning 19 and he has been increasingly used by coach Vincenzo Italiano following the season ending ligament injury for Dodo having spent time in Juventus and Fiorentina's youth academies he turned 19 in July and has seven appearances this term between Fiorentina in the Serie A and obviously Conference League and he's got one assist, his performances have attracted interest from Arsenal and several teams in Germany so there you have it naturally speaking they're going to go and do that really I'm surprised you haven't done a stream on the fight of the century the battle of Britain mayhem in Manchester the hugging contest between KSI and Tommy Fumbles I mean I watched it really and truly the boxing team is getting a bit mad really if I was a boxing fan I feel like sport is at an all time low. Big up yourself American Gunnar, as he said bring him to the carpet. So yeah that's that what else is that? Again Arsenal are interested in this Fiorentina fallback, what we got here this is in relation to Partey's injury apparently Chris Hewton has eased concerns about Thomas Partey potentially picking up an injury. Thomas Partey was always only going to play 45 minutes he's been out injured for three to four weeks he came back from Arsenal last midweek was sat on the south bench for one game, played 20 minutes for the next game so we knew he was only going to play 45 minutes and also you would have seen Simon Murphy, Arsenal's physio is out in Ghana with him people so there you have it. Apparently this fallback can do amazing things I was amazed by Kehinde's strength, he's an impressive boy, a player of this caliber hasn't been seen in Florence for some time, he should be locked down immediately, he's a player who eats up the pitch and I'm seeing him do amazing things I mean that's music to my ears as an Arsenal fan. El Nene said I cried when Arsenal asked me to stay, I want to finish my career here. Big up El Nene because I like you and I like the fact that you like the club but I ain't really got time for the substory thing. I mean for your role, I'm not actually against El Nene staying or leaving I think there's a role for you here but I don't want contracts being given for sympathy and really and truly I do want the midfield revamped, I want Thomas Partey I want Declan Rice and I would love at least four legitimate options, two sixes and two eights that are of a certain caliber like what Jorginho does off the field, like the certain games that Jorginho's deployed in but he's not a man that you can bet on for 38 games. On ability you can with Partey with injuries is another thing, Declan Rice you can, you know, you've got Kai Havertz, Fabio Vieira, Smith-Rowe all them unorganic eights I'm all for that as well but I think we need some genuine options in the pivot behind Martin Odegaard. It was one of the happiest days in my life, the way they spoke to me, the way the entire club was happy about this decision they made me cry this day. Arsenal Football Club, they know I love them 100% so much, they know I don't want to leave, I want to stay and finish my career there 100%. At 31 you'd imagine you've got a couple of years left man, you might have to go Saudi and make some money my guy, really but if Arteta wants you to stay fair enough. I was injured and my contract was finishing and I could not play anymore last season. They came straight away after I got injured the next day and said Mo, what sort of contract will it have to be? We love you here and we want you to stay. Really this club is great, big him up people and as we know he started doing his coaching stuff as well. I'm thinking about football all the time because I know we have had older players before who have finished their careers and they don't know what to do after. It is much better to think now because then when you finish you can have something already built. I'm keen to see how many players start becoming coaches you know the ones that Arteta has been because I think Xhaka will, Rob Holden's done his coaching badges, Jorginho's doing his coaching badges El Nene, I'm not saying they're going to be amazing but yeah you look at Jose, you look at Ferguson, you look at Wenger, Pep Guardiola will have a few you know really and truly look at all of their players now turning coaches. The idea started from that because we want to stay in England but I cannot just stay in England without work. I cannot just stay at home doing nothing. That's why I was thinking about what business can I do? I cannot open restaurants because my passion is football from day one and yeah he's got his UA for B licence as well. I've told so many people and they're laughing at me because when I say I want to play in the Premier League one day they just say how? The Premier League is the best league in the world and you want to get there from zero what does that mean? Some people just don't get the idea but for me I love to dream that is why I need good people around me because of course it could take, I think this means coaching it could take 15 years, 20 years but we have the target where we want to be or is he talking about his football club? Mo where do you want to play? I was playing for a club in the middle of the table in Egypt but I said to him I want to play at the Nou Camp in Barcelona and then you scored you know you have to thank God. Dreams are amazing I swear to God he just walked off the pitch and didn't continue the interview with me. No thank you, no goodbye no anything he just walked off. If you don't dream big in football you won't get anywhere. If you dream big at least you're going to be close. This is what I really believe. I love to dream. What am I going to lose? Amen. I want to finish my career when I'm 37 or 36. Now you're 31. Respectfully El Nene I don't think ending your career is going to work out. So I still have 5 or 6 years left to go. I'm working really hard always trying to get back into the first 11 for Arsenal for sure it's my goal this year. I know I'm coming back from a long injury and this is what I'm doing in training, fighting, fighting and fighting to come back and be in the starting 11. That's why I'm giving 100% every day to show I'm ready to play and when I get the chance to play I have to show I can still be there and give everything to this club. Big him up man. Real maturity from him. Baligan spoken once again about why he left the club. I've gone over this before but for some of you that haven't seen this it wasn't something that made me feel anxious. It was just more of a case of seeing what needed to be done. It was out of my hands. I mean it could have been out of your hands but there's always the player has got to want to leave and I don't begrudge you for leaving but they can't exactly sell you if you don't want to go. They can tell you're not going to play first in football. Let's be honest you was probably told by Arteta that he likes you but there's El Nene there's Enketia sorry Jesus. Havertz actually Trossart and Demstrike is ahead of you. I do think there was probably pressure from Arteta from above to say listen we just spent X amount on Declan Rice. You wanted 60 odd on Havertz. Timba 30 odd. You know we need to bring back some money into this club and there isn't too many Arsenal players at least the players that we want to keep that we want to sell sorry because the ones we want to keep will make big money but the players we want to sell they're not going to really bring money. I'd hardly say T&E for as much as our rating was flooded with offers you know Smith Rowe potentially another one Baligan's an appreciating asset because of what he did in France so I do think it was above board. I think it was a mixture and I also think Baligan you know I think Baligan would have loved to try and cut his teeth at the club. You're seeing your friends the haylenders playing the first team but at the end of the day if Arteta's moving wishy-washy you've got to do what you've got to do to play to play first team football and football's like a drug for a young player. Once you've been exposed to playing in high pressure moments sharing the pitch with stars and just feeling important in a first team environment which wouldn't necessarily be the case for Arsenal and getting a run of games I can't begrudge you for wanting to keep it moving only God knows if Baligan will return to Arsenal or go elsewhere in the Prem or if he'll excel or not but you know at the end of the day he played what maybe 10 appearances for Arsenal barely played 90 minutes you've made 30 plus million on the guy that's a success story not everyone is going to make it at Haylend even though I would have loved for him to be given a fair chance or more of a chance but Arteta's probably seen enough really and his loan backed up because you didn't get a chance at Arsenal but it put you into the shop window smashed the light button that's what I felt it wasn't something I could control the only thing I could do was just turn up to train and work hard so I did that and then after training I enjoyed being back in London I saw my friends caught up with my family and yeah I wasn't really too bothered he then went on to say in terms of Arteta he didn't really say much he just said when I came back he just said well done and he encouraged me to keep going then me coming back in pre-season it was just more about me seeing whether I fit into his plans and seeing if I can continue to play some games he said that he would try to get me involved as best as he could but of course he also told me that the people higher up were making decisions on me there you have it and seeing what would be best for me so the conversations between me and him were good but it was more about the club and what they wanted to do there you have it and to be fair for Arteta really wanted you to stay he would have forced the club hand and said listen we need him for the first team but it is what it is Rob holding names two former Arsenal teammates he's trying to emulate at Crystal Palace do your thing over them besides man he's better than Cannavaro I've got a lot of experience I mean to be fair yeah when you deep it from a lifestyle point of view you're learning under Roy Hodgson you're playing in Crystal Palace which is a good club a well supported club I couldn't imagine you have to move too far from wherever he's living already at Arsenal or the commute is just a bit longer but from a sporting point of view you've got Gerhi ahead of you at least until Gerhi's sold for big money and you've got Josh and Anderson the same them man are playing ahead of you week in week out and Palace obviously they're out of a cup now did they not lose to Man United the FA Cup comes around but didn't really make sense really if I'm honest with you but they have stability I look at Luton you might have played all the time at Luton it might have been peak for you I've got a lot of experience 28 years old now they've got quite a young team at Palace they've got some young lads coming through any little things that I've picked up from my time at Arsenal when I first stepped into the change rooms you had the likes of Murtosak and Koscielny they're just leaders if I can take any bits that I got from them and pass them on to the lads that are a bit younger at Palace now then I can do that fair enough really apparently their average age is 27 so fair enough, fair enough he's only played one game so far which they lost 3-0 against Manchester United which could have been great for him because did he not grow up as a Manchester United fan growing up if you didn't know already Bakayo Saka has been voted player of the month for September and also our November's league visit to Brentford away has been rearranged people's been handed a new kick-off time it will now it's gone from 3pm to 5.30pm evening fixture away at Brentford it's not for the faint hearted now is it but yeah with that being said that appears to be everything that we've gone over in terms of that, smash the like button if you haven't, big up yourself Dermot as well El Nene when you leave if you have the next salary in Egypt send them Arsenal's way, amen Croydon Rob Holding you lot are funny man but yeah man let's see if there's anything else in terms of Arsenal if not I'll let you lot get out of here don't forget people we're going to do a watchalong for England tomorrow, on the weekend we're doing hella watchalongs, Chelsea, Arsenal for definite, probably going to watch Man City Brighton together and we'll probably watch the Merseyside derby even though that's probably the most overrated derby in the Premier League man, I always do watchalongs with you lot and it's always dead but you never know, Liverpool might be in for a surprise, everything might surprise them, 5pm again in
