Certainly not the worst with the ball, although his defending certainly isn't as good. Obviously there's a City bias to this as well.

Could I interest you in a brazilian international LB?
If he was good, would City actually sell him?
Those stats flatter him because he plays in a Pep team. Those stats will certainly not transfer to Arsenal in any capacity.
Hence the reason I said there's a City bias. I'm pretty sure if he was the worst left back in the league, that City fans wouldnt be disappointed he's leaving.
Anyway, did you see Nuno Tavares last season?
They wouldn't transfer to United either so that's not a dig at Arsenal. I'm sure they're happy for the money as they'll now probably go out and spend £100m on a new left back seeing as Mendy is probably going to prison also.Hence the reason I said there's a City bias.

I didn't, I actually had to google him to see who he was. Was expecting him to be a Norwich player or something.They wouldn't transfer to United either so that's not a dig at Arsenal.

He was the player that gave away the penalty against you guys and threatened to do it all game.
Definitely the worst fullback in the league (although Junior Firpo gives him a run for his money).
@MayosNoun is a big fan
One of the few players I’d pay money to see.
As long as he is starting for the opposition.
Have you watched him at all for Ukraine? He’s their youngest ever captain, for a team that reached the Euro quarter finals with his help of a goal and assist in the last 16, and he’s an all-action creative midfielder.
His technique and vision are not that obvious in this supplementary role at City, but really clear in a team where he’s given a central role. And it’s not like the Ukrainian team are lacking technical midfielders so he stands out. He’s a strong performer in a strong bunch.
Assessing him as a left back is like assessing Fred as a left back. It’s the only place he’d get in that City team too.
It's quite comical really.
They've got a home brand Pep managing them and now they are bringing players who aren't quite good enough to hack it at City.

So what have Arsenal done about the player that’s accused of some very serious offences?
its statements like this that make Arsenal the most delusional fanbase in world football. Make the scousers look sane.
Yeah it’s just a daft statement from a team that barely finished above us last season despite us having a caretaker manager and one of our worst seasons. They still didn’t even manage CL.
Everton going mental in a pre-season game for no reason
Where was that energy last season lads ?

11 points is quite a bit mate. You were closer to Crystal Palace in 12th than us I do believe.
11 points is not 'barely' fishing above you. Its comprehensively finishing above you.
As it stands come matchday 1 we will probably field
Ramsdale
Tomiysau White Gabriel Tierney
Partey Zinchenko
Saka Odegaard Martinelli
Jesus
Were definitely a contender for 3rd and 4th

Unfair when you have deity on your side. That alone should make you guys contenders for the title.
Another good workout for the team vs Everton early this morning. Jesus looking sharp again another goal and a bit of a lucky assist, Saliba looking good and untroubled By Calvert-Lewin, & Thomas Partey started.
He’s coming in to replace the Stoke level player we have starting for us in Swiss Charlie Adam and he provides quality cover for our starting fullback who is injured half the time. It’s a smart signing.
Interested to see Saliba in the Prem
They're getting Saliba back aren't they? Will instantly become one of their best players and it was crazy of them to loan him out and buy Ben White.
I don't think Arsenal will pull up many trees this season though, 5th/6th again for sure.

Jesus really looks the part so far during pre season for them. Pisses me off a bit we could have done with that guy when Ronaldo leaves.
congratulations on the "11 points above united" trophy.
Zinchenko is a utility player and I am not convinced he's better than either Xhaka or Tierney.
Outside of Pep's system we could see his true level. Ultimately, he improves the squad.

As I mentioned, played this morning vs Everton, his first appearance since coming back. Wasn't troubled all game, played Calvert-Lewin pretty well.

Actually can’t believe what I’m reading here? What an awful example to set and shocking by the club.
United handled the Greenwood allegations quickly and decisively. Exactly what I would expect from a big club to which millions see it’s players and staff as role models.
Not sure what this says about ‘The Arsenal’ but it sure isn’t pretty.
Disgusting.

Sorry, I must be forgetting all of your superstar signings of the last 5 years that have lived up to the hype? I probably misread that Pogba left on a free after achieving sod all and Ronaldo wants away after one whole season. I don't hear much about Sanchez these days but I presume he's working hard in the engine room for Man Utd. Wikipedia says he scored 5 goals in 45 games for Man Utd (vs 80 in 166 for Arsenal) but that must be an error.
Seriously, which of your players are walking into the City/Liverpool squads? Same as Arsenal, not many.
Your post will be removed as we're not allowed to discuss it.
Interesting that you want it removed and you don’t have any view on your club?
The post doesn’t name anyone so I wouldn’t worry.
I wrote out a big reply but deleted it because I've had several posts already removed from this thread on the subject.
Well I hope the reply is in agreement it’s pretty clueless from the club and quite damaging.
You’re confusing players ability with miss management. Not surprised a significant amount of Utd fans do it to our own players too.
Varane, Bruno, Sancho, Maguire, Rashford, Shaw, De Gea, Ronaldo are all better and more talented than most players in that arsenal squad. Under a competent coach (which we now have) many of them will show a much truer level. To Arsenals credit you have a lot of young players but currently that’s all they really are, future hopes. Many of those Utd players have shown a level only matched by those at Chelsea, Liverpool, and City, thus why we finished third, then second and have remained comfortably above arsenal bar our worst ever season.
Nothing to do with public view though. It’s about doing the right thing.
The player should be suspended as they would be in any other workplace.
No charges have been laid nor is there tangible evidence. With Greenwoods case he was caught on record.
From what ive read the accusations against Partey will be tossed and he wont even be 'officially' named as the player arrested.
The know he’s being investigated for two very serious allegations and have done absolutely nothing.
Frankly it’s a disgrace.
Anyway I’ll leave you to discuss the 11 point finish ahead of United trophy whilst your club sits in the mud.
