Arsenal injury updates. Updates where Arsenal's transfer news is concerned. And Mikel Arteta
with the goalposts forever shifting. One minute he's the co-manager, then he's Pep Guardiola,
now he's Jose Mourinho. I mean, if he can win trophies, that's great. Big up you lot
for being tuned in, people. Again, we've got a lot to cover where Arsenal's concerned,
so allow me to not waste any time and share my screen with you guys. Again, first things
first. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, and in some cases, good night. Bless
up to you lot.
Now, the media have to be a bit dishonest. The media have to create talking points. In
light of Mikel Arteta probably being a bit overly cautious in times defensively and probably
being praised more for the defending than the attacking. I know we're not doing great
in the final third, and I just think collectively as a team, we haven't hit that final kind
of strike. But for all the connotations around Mikel Arteta being a defensive coach, year
in, year out, and I'm pretty sure at the end in May, we would have scored more goals.
Do I think we could create and have more patterns of play? Yes. Would I like to have not only
a Santi Cazorla, Cesc Fabregas sort of midfielder, but a more attacking ethos? 100%. You look
at the Liverpool game, I think Mikel Arteta is right in that we did kind of lack courage
in that second half. But the one time we gambled, Salah scored. And I do think the goalpost
shift in a sense of people, one minute Mikel Arteta, Arsenal better yet, when we were naive
and flying forward and trying to kind of match teams. Like even under Mikel Arteta, if you
remember the early Liverpool games, the early kind of City games, yeah, they would win and
beat us and whatnot. But it was kind of even. We were matching, we were doing our thing,
but those fine margins went against us. Now, I think we've gone the other way a bit too
much. I think we're a bit too cautious. Defence does win titles and that's great, but I don't
know how we win games. Goals win games better yet. And I don't think we can win. Like I
said, I don't even think we're at our high standards defensively, set pieces and all
the stuff we did last season. And I do think, you know, we've gone from probably too far
to the left, being too good, like too attacking minded, to maybe being a bit too cautious.
If you can't win, don't lose. And there's no way around it. We have picked up more points
because of our defensive epochs, but you can't win. You know, I don't really give a flying
monkey what the media says, what the neutral fans say. And I only really care about Arsenal
fans in relation to Arsenal. I think we all know we could do a lot more going forward.
But I think the goalposts shift. You know, if we were entertaining or wanted to entertain
the neutrals and we was flying forward against Liverpool, we might get some flowers, but
we could be called naive and we should have probably won the game.
But ultimately, there's a chance we would have got nothing. They said that in the two
games against Manchester City. And you know, the goalposts are going to shift. You know,
if Mikel Arteta genuinely is Jose Mourinho or Pep Guardiola, he'll do very well to have,
you know, even a small percentage of their careers. But I'm cool with that because they
both won trophies. And I'm not being funny here. Why is it like, what's wrong with being
compared to Jose? Of course, we want attacking football. But this man, when you look at Jose
Mourinho, you think winning. I want Arsenal to be winners. We've done the runner up thing
and it's great being second and whatnot. But the more you don't get over the line, what
is this all for? The players have said it. Mikel Arteta has said it. Really, the fans
want it. So, yeah, I just think it's nonsense. As I said, the goalposts continuously shift.
One minute he's a co-manager, then he's Pep Guardiola, then he's Jose, which for me negates
the fact that, yes, Mikel Arteta has rubbed shoulders with, you know, been playing under
Arsene Wenger, worked with Pep Guardiola, come from La Masia, probably picked up little
other bits and pieces throughout his managerial career. But he's his old man, really. And
Sorry, people. I need to take this off my arm. But I think a large part of Mikel Arteta
that forms his ethos is playing for Everton. Rivers and David Moyes, respectfully, they
were on the back foot. He understands needing to defend. I just want to see a bit more life
in the final third because I believe that I love the fact that it's structured patterns
of play. But I do think it needs that healthy randomness. So I just think it's nonsense
if I'm honest with you. But that's my little mini run over. What do you think? Quickly,
let's see exactly what Mikel Arteta has said, people, where the key points of his press
conference are and talking points ahead of playing Preston tomorrow, people. Join me
for a watch along. I actually will be there. I won't be able to talk tomorrow. On Gabriel,
we're still assessing him. It doesn't look bad at all. He was much better than expected.
So hopefully he'll be fine now. That's quite upbeating. And Mikel Arteta is quite coy on
injury news and things of that ilk. But he's kind of specifically told us such. That being
said, though, Mikel Arteta does play games where players' availability is concerned.
So a pinch of salt. Naturally, of course, Gabriel's going to have tests. Jurien Timbaugh,
you know, prior to the Liverpool game, forgive me if I'm wrong, people, but he didn't play
against and he didn't play excluding the Liverpool game. The last time we saw him was PSG. So
naturally, I think we had to run Timbaugh into the ground a bit more, probably had to
utilise him a bit more than we would have liked in terms of the minutes against Liverpool.
And, you know, he's barely fit, can't really play 90 minutes, you know, been struggling
with injuries really since the start of the season. I think he gave a great account of
himself against Mane and Salah. Timbaugh is fine. He was very tired. He had been out for
a while and could not continue the game, but there's no new injury there. On if he had
cramp, he said he could not continue. So we decided to make a very safe call. Califuri
will be out for a few weeks. On William Salibaugh, being back from suspension, he said he'll
decide, I'll decide that when you see the team, we all know Salibaugh probably could
play tomorrow against Preston. And thank the Lord, you know, he's there against Newcastle.
We hope Gabriel is because Newcastle, regardless of their form, is one of the worst fixtures.
No one wants to play Newcastle at their place. Martin Odegaard, you know, we've missed this
lad. Me personally, I thought the Liverpool game would have been the game that, you know,
we were gearing him up to play. Obviously, that didn't happen. I now believe, for me,
it will be the Chelsea one. I hope he's back for Inter. I hope he's there against Newcastle.
Admittedly, I might have got the fixtures mixed up, but he said he's been on the grass
for a few weeks, but there are still a few boxes to tick. How fast we can do that last
stage of rehab is a question we have to answer. Then we have players around and he starts
competing with a team, something he has not done yet. So he hasn't joined competitive
training, but he's back on the grass, people. He did say he's hopeful to be back before
the international break, which is coming up, people. We all know we need to find balance.
We all know Mikel Arteta is going to have sympathy with fellow managers who have lost
their job. We all know nobody is unsackable. We know Arteta has almost been here five years
and in the last three, including now, we've now been title contenders. It's now time to
win major honours. I would love the Champions League. I think the Premier League is attainable,
although you're playing this juggernaut of Manchester City. I think any trophy will help
Mikel Arteta because, you know, you ain't got Pep Guardiola or Jurgen Klopp and them
Jose Mourinho and their kind of trophy cabinets, which they probably have a separate house.
Although we all know the goalpost will shift. If he bags an FA Cup and a League Cup, to
a degree, rightly so. People will say it's not enough for the money spent, for the way
he's talked up, etc, etc. Naturally, I think there'll be a bit of rotation against
Preston, but I don't think it will be as much as we suspect, people.
What do you lot make of Zinchenko? Is it fair to say, beyond the obvious, his stock has
fallen? Obviously, I personally think the better we've got in the last two seasons,
including now and last year, versus the first year we was fighting for a title. I think
Mikel Arteta has become a bit more defensively minded, in which I don't blame that because
in that first year we was fighting for the title when Xhaka was here, Zinchenko and
Jesus' debut season. There were times we let ourselves down defensively and there
was also times blisteringly good in the first half. Bullying team, second half, heart attack
setting. So, I don't mind that. But I say that to say this, naturally, if you want to
be a better defensive team, you need players that are switched on defensively, in which
Zinchenko isn't really. And on one hand, I do believe he's a midfielder that found himself
playing full-back and he's won trophies at City and he's now at Arsenal, great. And I
do believe he's played enough games to need to use this upstairs at left-back. But at
the same time, Zinchenko's natural inclination is not to defend. I actually think he's improved
defensively, although I think the standard is up here. Zinchenko was down here initially
and he's improved here. So, you get it, people, where we're going. Fair enough, though. Lewis
Skelly, the Shakhtar game, I didn't want to read too much into it, but Lewis Skelly
has been preferred to come off the bench versus Zinchenko. So, big up Lewis Skelly, but I
think it's very damning on Zinchenko, considering the fact that he was first choice, considering
the fact that he won the trophies at City. He knows Mikel Arteta. He probably knows the
inverted role, probably the best of all the players, essentially. In terms of the final
third and all that, he's probably the best of the left-back options. But it's a trade-off
because, as I said, Zin is probably better in the middle and final third than any other
inverted left-back. But Tomi Asu can do a role and gives you a lot defensively. Califuri,
there's not too much of a drop-off. Timba, there's not too much of a drop-off. Clearly,
Lewis Skelly is a bit more switched on, and I'm probably missing out on an option due
to the amount of players we've got. So, it stops on the floor. Those decisions are always
very difficult to make. You make them with the only intention to get the result with
the performance that you want. But Alex has proven already for many years something that
he has to do, and he has the ability to do it. So, you can't rule out him getting back
into the fold, but this just tells me, at the end of the day, I don't believe you're
the best option to get results. Unless we are chasing a game and we have to take the
handbrake off. Zinia Samir, on Kieran Tainey, who's probably even more forgotten than Zinchenko.
I think he's quite close. He's looking really good. I think over the period where he was
struggling, so he looks really sharp out there. He hasn't trained with the team yet, but hopefully
he can do that in the next week or two. Big up Tomi Seppert. I'd imagine David Rye will
be playing tomorrow, people, because Neto's not illegible. Although young Jack Porter
did play in the game against Bolton, so you can't rule out Tomi Seppert, people.
And he said, obviously, we brought him here because we know that he's got the qualities
we're looking for in our goalkeeping area. But unfortunately, he's been injured, so he
hasn't really played. Let's see if we'll play him tomorrow. Probably not going to play him,
people. We know there's instability. We know, for me, amongst everything, Lewis Kelly has
the personality to have a top career, big him up. On the Jose Mourinho comparisons,
Jose, for sure, I've known him since I was 15 years old. He coached me in Barcelona,
so I learned. He's won 26, 28 titles. He's someone to really admire. The way he's done
it, the way he's changed the culture in the clubs, the way he's done it in different countries,
I'm with that really and truly. Because naturally, if you, and I don't see this as a criticism,
if you want to improve your team defensively, Jose Mourinho is one of the best reference
points in terms of, in the same way, if you're looking at having a great attacking side,
none other than Arsene Wenger. If you can take bits and pieces of Wenger, of Jose,
of David Moyes, of Pep, sprinkle in your own team and we win trophies. Who cares, people?
I mean, Mikel Arteta, the players, even me as a content creator, we have to take opinions
with a pinch of salt. You take the rough with the smooth. You don't read too much into the
compliments so that breeds complacency. You don't read too much into the negatives because,
obviously, you'll doubt yourself. You just try and see if there's little bits and pieces that
have truth, people. So, yeah, man, that's what Mikel Arteta has said in his press conference.
So, yeah, long story short, Saliba is back available. Califuri is out for a few weeks.
Odegaard and Tini are making progression but are not quite ready. He sounded quite upbeat,
as we saw with both Timba and Gabriel, although we'll have to probably see what the line-up or
the squad is against Preston and also moving into, well, onto Saturday in the, what is it,
12.30 kick-off against Newcastle. So, yeah, let me know you lot's team, by the way, people,
because I do think we're going to have to play some players that, if we had more depth and no
injuries and everything was rosy, people, we'd like to have on the bench, if that makes sense.
You could see asterisks next to Saliba and Kai Havertz's name. And what I mean by that is,
you could potentially even start Benjamin White. But whether it's Havertz, Saliba, Benjamin White,
obviously, you don't know how the game's going to go. But you really only want them playing 45,
20, an hour at most, if that makes sense. And you do expect to see some rotation. And
we ain't got many bodies to pick from. So we're going to have to utilise people.
Big up young Tommy Sepp with young Jack Porter. You know, Neto's inavailable. But for me,
I'm going with David Rye. I want to respect the opposition in Preston.
I want to go through to the next round, if I'm honest with you. And although we should rock up
and win, you've got to remember, we're at their place. You know, a lot of rotations affects how
we're playing. You've got to remember, this is a championship for Southside. It's not going to
be easy, really. And I think it will be a slightly different game to the one against Bolton. And it's
a good test for the young players then. I'm going with Raya Saliba, Kibio Zinchenko, Moreno,
Declan Rice. I'd move Lewis Skelly to right-back because if you can play left-back,
you can play right-back being a right-footer. Ethan needs to start for me, and by God's grace,
he does. Ethan's got the keys to Rome and do his thing in midfield. He's got the two more
experienced midfielders in Declan Rice and Moreno. Kai Havertz, give me an hour. There may be someone
like a Trossart. We all know Saka's probably going to play, but maybe a Trossart comes on.
Gabriel Jesus goes in the middle. We do something there, but I'm going Sterling on the left. I don't
like Sterling on the right-hand side. Arteta does, fair enough, but Sterling on the left,
Jesus on the right, Havertz in the middle, Ethan Rice, Moreno in midfield, Zinchenko,
Kibio Saliba, Lewis Skelly. So let me know you lots of line-up people. If we move on from that
and try and look at the transfer news, people, we've been linked along with Chelsea and Liverpool
with Nathan Zezé, a 19-year-old Nantes defender in France. Seems a bit raw, but he is a left-footed
centre-half, so I wouldn't be against that. And the last young centre-back we bought from France
was okay, so I'm all for that. Chelsea want to sign another goalie. They've actually been linked
along with Spurs with Karl-Heinz. Karl-Heinz is obviously at Real Valladolid in spaying people
and is allegedly impressed. Chelsea are apparently monitoring him and Arsenal will be willing to
sell him for 15, 20 million. I'm on that if they want to do that, if I'm honest. Big up Karl-Heinz,
but if they're on that, I'm on doing that. It probably is paper talk. The Spurs thing,
I'm not too sure if I'm completely honest, is that could push for a move away from Newcastle
with next summer's transfer window hasn't quite been hitting the heights this season,
although he's backed against Chelsea. Sources say the 25-year-old wants to play Champions League
football and is growing increasingly concerned about the chances of reaching that level at his
current club. Now, Newcastle's forms are all over the place, haven't quite matched that season where
they got into the Champions League. Clearly need a bigger squad, clearly need that blockbuster sort
of signing, but I think it's a double-edged sword for Newcastle. Every time you read Newcastle are
linked with a player, it seems like they're kind of crippled with FFP and all them other acronym
stuff that people have to look after and make sure you're playing by the rules. I actually think
Newcastle might have to have a sacrificial lamb and what I mean by that is to be able to buy more
players and do little things, I think you might have to sell Izak to the highest bidder or a
Gomarez or something like that, if I'm completely honest with you. Can't begrudge Izak for wanting
to move, if alleged. I personally feel signing a new deal, got to remember he's contracted until
2028 or something like that. I love Izak. I know people can talk about injuries, but where's the
number 14, which is free at this club? Love scoring against Spurs, Premier League proven.
You got Moreno, you got Odegaard, I think he's a great... I don't think he's the only option,
but Izak would be the dream. I would not mind Joko Rezmin, not mind Izak, wouldn't mind us going for
a Cesco. People are getting on to me for Ferguson at Brighton and I know he's not doing much, but
you want to see him over the weekend. Big up Kai Havertz, but I do think we need another striker.
I think you either have to bring in another... ideally you get a striker and a winger in it,
but I think we need someone with strong numbers. Now I sound like a hypocrite because Kai Havertz
has picked up where he left off in the second half of last season. I think last year he got
like 12, 13 league goals, forgive me if I'm wrong or whatever, and I think he'll get close to that.
Trossart did well last season in that regard and there are players that can score goals and chip
in, especially with set pieces. You're seeing the Morenos, the Gabriels, them kind of brothers,
but I just think in August, and I said this then, Saka is the only one you bet on that's getting
strong numbers. It's not to diss the players, but if Kai Havertz doesn't necessarily get double
figures and Trossart and Jesus and Sterling and definitely Martinelli based on the last two years,
it's not that you're not shocked. It's not that you're not asking questions, but you're not
shocked. You'd genuinely be shocked if Saka doesn't get double figures for goals and assists.
And as I said, ideally you get a bagsman of a striker to go with Kai Havertz doing his thing.
You've got Martinelli, hopefully he gets back to good form, but you've got a blockbuster left
winger kind of guy. Everybody's firing. But if it's only one of the two, in which I don't think
it should be, you either sign that top striker that's going to get 20-odd goals, although we
need to create chances, or you get someone that has Saka numbers. We played Liverpool recently,
I think it's very on brand when I say this, in that Firmino, a good player, could score goals,
but the burden of goal scoring and making a difference in that regard wasn't on Firmino.
He obviously scored goals, he was a facilitator, he was all of that kind of stuff. But you had
Mo Salah and Mane, strong numbers. I think you could mimic the Liverpool thing, because let's
be honest, being linked with these players is one thing, signing them is another. Obviously,
I would love to have our very own Erling Haaland, or if Haaland wants to sign for us,
he'd be crazy to join us. But we'd love a Haaland. If not, do we mimic the Liverpool model?
So we'll have to see, really. And when you look at the price tag, apparently Arsenal are
reportedly ready to spend €120m on Isak Pippa. I'm not too sure. And I'm not saying Arsenal don't,
because I do think we are getting slowly but surely into that territory where, of course,
there's players everywhere. Scouts can find players, really. But I do kind of think we're
getting to that scenario where, because we don't need much. I'm a hypocrite, because I think we
when everybody's fit in defence, cool. But in light of what's going on right now,
I think we could do with another defender. Ideally, someone that could play all across
the front four, back four, apologies. Maybe a centre-half, clearly need a goalkeeper or two.
I might be exaggerating the need for a central midfielder, depending on what happens with
Jorginho and Partey. But I would like a midfielder, ideally two. I would like another versatile winger
and another striker. So there is a lot to do. But you could argue there isn't, in a sense.
We don't need much. So if we don't need much, when we buy players, do we need to buy these
difference-makers? And I think that would be great. You can see, once again, Jokic, Blavic,
Cesco. These are the names that are thrown around, not just with us, any team that needs a forward.
So we'll have to watch that space. Allegedly, on the topic of Jokic, he could leave Sporting for
60 to 70 million euros. A summer move is more likely. A winter move is not planned. Arsenal,
one of the teams interested. I think he's perfect for Mikel Arteta's system. Seems like his manager
could be going to Manchester United. And there's a couple of Sporting players. They've got that
winger. They've got Thierry Mendy. They've got Lloris. They're probably all going to get linked
with Man Utd. I wonder if they join Rumen Aberin over there when that gets sorted out. Check out
the video I did for 10R getting sacked, by the way, people. Lloris would be lovely. But whether
it happens is another thing. Allegedly, his price has been slashed in half. I don't know why,
because every time you type in Lloris, he's scoring for Sweden. He's scoring in Portugal.
He's scoring in the Champs. He just won't stop scoring, really and truly. So I'm all for it,
really. I do think there's a bit of a... I do think Jokic would be great for Arsenal, because I think
he can still have good games without necessarily scoring. And we've got to remember, while we want
goals, it's what you do across 90 minutes. I do think there's a bit of tax and an exchange rate.
And I don't think you'll get this amount of goals in the Prem. And also, I think naturally,
because of how we play and the demands of a striker, in which, let's face it, we don't really
there. And you have to be kind of selfless. You're a selfless hub to a degree for a striker.
I do think the numbers, based on if he signed for Arsenal, would still be strong, but wouldn't quite
be what you're seeing now. But bringing people, if I'm honest with you, we've been linked with
Kenan Yildiz. Now, the more I find out about this Turkish lad who plays for Juventus, the more I
want him. You would have seen the game at the weekend. He scored a firecracker of a goal against
Inter for Juventus. If Juventus are unselling him, forget Vlahovic's sign. This guy is a
versatile attacking player. And I think he'd be perfect for Arsenal. So we've been linked with
him once again, people. I'm not on this. Arsenal have been linked with Cole Omani, people. Now,
we have got a history with French strikers and Elko and Henry. And you do play for Paris Saint-Germain
and that. And I would hold my hands up. He is still only 25. I'm not moved by him. I'm not
moved. Now, if Mikel Arteta is, fair enough, he wouldn't be the first or the last player that I've
kind of doubted and done well. I'd want him to do the best. And for €40 million, that could be
maybe we've been linked with him because he's struggling for football, people. Apparently,
United are interested as well as Arsenal. I'm not really convinced on that. We all know Gabriel
Jesus and Raheem Sterling need to hit the ground running. Tavares is doing quite well in Italy,
people, which is music to my ears. Every time you just watch him or you read stuff about him,
people, he's getting assists. That's great. Someone rides off a great defensive performance
in his time, but it's not my problem anymore. He's got seven assists so far this season. Big
up, man, really. And there's a feeling he'll join them permanently. Didn't they sign him
with an obligation to buy? Apparently, their club president has said already a capital gain.
I wouldn't even sell it for €70 million. We have been beaten off a lot of competition from big
clubs for the fullback, fair enough. Maybe it's a bit of a cap, but fair play. Allegedly, Arsenal
rejected a bid for Gabriel Jesus from Palmeiras, his former club, people, says their club president.
We turned down an approach, people. He said Jesus is not coming. We got in touch with Arsenal and
they said, Leila, there are no conditions whatsoever. We are going to negotiate. The
subject is closed. Is that because we still believe Gabriel Jesus can get back to his best?
Is that because he's a valued squad player and a member of the team? Is that because
clearly we couldn't sign a striker and we need bodies? I'm not too sure. I'm not saying these
players will go, but you could make a case of if this persists, such as Gabriel Jesus' stock
has fallen. He's a great squad player, admittedly, but you could argue in terms of the wages and he's
got two or three years on his deal. They need to start talking about renewals. Is that worth it
for Jesus, especially in this form in which you're nowhere near Kai Havertz's spot, nowhere near.
On ability, of course, you're a better player than Havertz, but in terms of importance for this team
and what he gives us, Havertz is doing it, you're not, and you're nowhere near it really and truly.
You are versatile, but it is nowhere near it. And you could make a case of
partay going or staying, depending on the wages. The form probably screws that debate and that's
probably one for another video. Make sure you're checking that out when it comes out, people.
Zinchenko falling down the pecking order, several fullbacks ahead of you on big money as well,
two years left. Tommy, as your quality player, we never see you. Are we going to lose frustration
with that? Kivi, you're not really a first teamer like that. Had interest from Italy. Does he want
to stay in this role? There's plenty of cases come January in the summer if players could be
moved on. Me personally, obviously, if offers come in and we do business in terms of incomings and
outgoings, I won't be against it. But even me, like Tommy Asu, Gabriel Jesus, Kivio, Zinchenko,
all of those kind of players that you can make a case of leaving, I would shut the door in January
unless the offer or the bid or mix, A, makes a lot of sense and B, there's other players.
Because I think in what we've seen over a couple of months of Premier League football,
bearing in mind we're in October, just about to touch November, happy new month and new blessings
in advance for you lot. We need our squad. There's a lot of football to be played. But moving on,
Arsenal heralded and hailed Bukayo Sakharov's performance. I personally feel very disappointed
with the media rhetoric around Arsenal versus Liverpool. I'm sure on one hand Liverpool
smelt blood, was there for the taking. It would have been a statement kind of win. I don't think
they've beaten us at the Emirates in the league in the last couple of pictures. And it was the
best time to probably play us. The sentiment was a lot more positive around Liverpool than Arsenal.
But I don't think there's a lot of fairness from the media really. I think if you flip the
script here and Liverpool had all these injuries, and even though I think we're exaggerating that,
they had all these injuries and all the rhetoric and talking points, like we flip everything
that's at Arsenal right now over there. Had we not won, there would have been hella question
marks and things. Now I like Arsenal. I think Liverpool are a great club and they're doing
great things. And I just feel there's too much, not praise, but there's too many conclusions
drawn on City, on Arsenal and Liverpool, matter of fact, if I'm honest with you.
And I think considering the injuries and just simply not having our best available team,
Liverpool had to come back from behind twice. Really and truly, we kept their midfield quiet.
The only times that they really scored was off the back of a great long ball by Van Dijk.
We conceded the corner, we let ourselves down for the second week in a row. It is what it is.
And obviously in the second half, the one time we kind of gambled and we was a bit braver,
they hit us on the counter attack. That's what Trent can do, innit? And Salah and
those moments went for them. So they had to come back from behind twice.
I think there should be a lot of questions. But I did like, I'm not going to read this to you
lot, but I did like the way Arnslot spoke about the game. But I just feel in the media,
I think Liverpool and Arsenal fans have been done a bit dirty because there's no realness around it.
Now we're playing Preston tomorrow, people. Sam Greenwood is on loan at them currently
from Leeds United. Big him up, people. Make sure you check the video I did with him a few years ago.
Big him up. Yeah, he's playing against us from Preston and I hope for our sake he doesn't come
to strike us back. But big up Sam Greenwood. He said he wants to win. He was filled with nothing
but praise for Arsenal and his time at the club, man. So yeah, big him up. I mean,
Arsenal, Chelsea and PSG are all still being linked people with Nico Williams. Allegedly,
all these clubs offered 150 million. Now with Barcelona's format this moment and every time
I'm not saying Nico Williams wouldn't be bought, but do they need him? I mean,
La Mal is doing his thing. You know, Rafinha got a new lease of life. You know, they probably will
sell Ferran Torres. I'm definitely missing out on another versatile attacker, Dani Almo. Do they
really need Nico Williams? You know, because no one's really making, again, I'm not watching
Bilbao, but no one's really making noise about Nico Williams again. I'm on signing him. We've
been linked with Lamine Yalmao and every other English team. By God's grace, I hope this rumour
is right, but we all know this is BS and no matter how broke Barcelona is, they will sell
their souls and sell their bodies before they sell Lamine Yalmao, right? Well, not really,
right? So that's a lie for that, but you get the point, people. Arsenal are still linked with Brian
and Buermo as well, people. And again, being linked, as you've seen, we've been linked with
several club players. Whether we buy them, whether we're able to buy them in January is another
thing. I would love to sit here and say we sign a striker and an attacker, but in all honesty,
I don't know what we're going to do. But yeah, people, we've spoken about the transfer news.
We've obviously spoken about Jose Mourinho, our tech staff. We've kind of indirectly spoken about
Preston and Arsenal's injuries. I'm pretty sure I've covered a lot, but this channel is not a
dictatorship, people. It's a community. It's a family, as I always say. So please, please,
please get in the chat, not just when this video premieres, but get in the comments, leave a
comment, smash the like button, subscribe, turn on your notification bells and make sure you're
following on socials. I appreciate all of you lot. If you're new here, one love. But for those
of you that view my content on a regular basis, I keep getting comments in. And I've asked YouTube,
like, there they are, you shadow banned. They said I'm not. But it seems like you're either
not getting alerts or you're not seeing that I'm live. So the only thing I can say to you lot,
people, is make sure you're following on the socials. Make sure you're checking out the
YouTube community tab, because that's kind of where I let you lot know when things are coming
out. Beyond that, you probably need to start thinking about a Discord group, you know,
just drop the link and alert you lot. But yeah, people, man, I need your help. And all of this
helps the YouTube algorithm. You know, I thought we could get to 70k subs this year,
hit a bit of a blip. We're kind of stuck at this 63.4,000, which I appreciate. But you know,
I demand asking to get better. I want to get better for you lot. We need to get better people,
so family. So hopefully I've given you lots of entertainment in this 20 odd seven minutes people
check out the rest of the content. Most importantly, stay safe, stay blessed.
