Hey Charles. I think i've said it before but i think Arsenal should at least look at Dortmund's Adeyemi and my guess is that the German player rumored we are talking to is Adeyemi. He is still raw but we can give him time as we have good squad depth around the sides. Very similar profile to Neto or Mudryk who we've looked at in the past. Lighting pace, able to cover both flanks and left footed which looks definitely like a Saka backup profile.
I know he didn't reached the expectation at Dortmund but if Arteta uses Adeyemi, he might grow into that X factor player! When i looked at him at the champions league final last season, yes he did missed some good opportunities but the way he moved and provided the most threat just seemed like what Arsenal lacks right now. Dortmund are willing to sell, just like Calafiori he does look like a market opportunity out there.
Kind of relates to who we are going to sign as a backup to Saka this summer as well. We are running out of options as Olise moved to Bayern and Neto's injury concern is a big thing. Unless we pull some surprise signing, i can't see Saka handling a whole season this year. He will definitely be injured if we don't sign some suitable backup. The boy is strong, but he is a human being. Almost 3 yrs without a suitable backup and getting tackled ruthlessly every game.
In a nutshell, from my own analysis; Calafiori is bringing the ability to play in midfield as a defender from (LB/LCB) adding to our ability to progress the ball against an aggressive press, adding quality in ball progression thru midfield allowing us to push forward more players from midfielders into the final 3rd while keeping us secure defensively against a counter attack, because of his pace and tackling ability.
The fact he can occupy a lot of positions and be dynamic and securely comfortable with the ball, with very strong passing and chance creation qualities, means Rice can be deployed as the DM even though he’s still not that good progressing the ball vertically. That would mean we can buy in this window a world class LAM (no8) like Musiala to aide with the left sided duties similar to what Odegaard and Saka do on the right.
Significantly, Timber can do the same on the right, what Calafiori does on the left; carrying the ball into and thru midfield with consummate accuracy and authority. This will be determined by the opponents style on the day.
Last season Odegaard dropped in goals output because he came too deep to do what was supposed to be done by Rice; carrying the ball deep from the defenders and turning into a press, beating it and getting the ball out from the back thru midfield upfront into the final 3rd, too much work for one man but Odegaard did it game after game every time Rice played, because Rice is still pathetic at this key aspect, you saw the Euro group games so far, and the fact that all the points we dropped last season was when Rice played no6.
So Calafiori and Timber ability to invert into midfield and progress the ball upfield with quality will mean Odegaard can predominantly spend more time in the final 3rd where his ability on the ball will definitely hurt opposition like he did the previous season scoring 15 non penalty goals, add that to the possibly new left sided offensive no8 profile like Musiala.
Another key factor; a definite upgrade on Martinelli whose main weakness is failure to scan while on the ball! We lose a lot of quality when we play a low block because Martinelli is deadly running behind into spaces, less scanning needed as the decision is made once early. But a low block means tight control under pressure and Saka is king there because he plays with his eyes ⬆️ up all the time and is able to change decisions, direction, feints, and deliver a different pass or cross or take a shot as the permutations of opposition positional play allows. Not Martinelli! That’s why in the Brazil team they just bring him in later when the game is very open. That’s why Trossard eventually got more and more of the game time last season. It had nothing to do with Martinelli being poor, we faced more and more of games with a lot more deeper blocks; neutralizing his effectiveness for us. Trossard like Saka is comfortable in tight pressure situations because he is good with the ball and plays with his eyes up ⬆️ like Saka. So I definitely believe Nico Williams is a solid possibility for this reason; he’s faster than Trossard and then has everything Trossard has if not more; two footed, crosses/shoots both feet, devastating dribbling/takeons; plays with his eyes up ⬆️ like Saka and we need that on the left a lot! And he can cover Saka on the RW consummately.
Kai Havertz is UNTOUCHABLE @9🔥🔥🔥📈 he keeps everyone ♻️ devastating and cannot be marked out of the game like Halaand (who registered Zero shots against us 3 games in a row!)and doesn’t get involved with the team build up play often or with any effectiveness.
Trossard will play no9 backup. Martinelli will have games that suit him when we play CL or big teams that are arrogant and think to go toe to toe with us.
Kudos and COYG!

The name they won't mention is Musiala or Wirtz 100%.
God I hope so
That’s how am feeling, musiala for me cuz he only have one year left on his contract
And you seem to know more than Edu and Arteta about squad building!
@@kwameantwi3755there’s no hope of that deal Bayern are bigger than us so if he doesn’t stay there he’s going to a bigger club than them or a club he loves.
@@user-fv8rn4gi3x Childhood Arsenal fan apparently
20:20 What???
It is evident Arteta prefers his " no. 6" to be a deep lying playmaker and break lines with passing. That is kimmich's best attribute. He can dictate the game while rice mops up and occasionally gets forward. How do most Arsenal fans still think rice can dictate the play while he can't find odegaard in the pockets to save his life.
Yeah people are hooked on the destroyer profile, when it's far more important to be dominant in possession of the ball. Our 6 first and foremost needs to be impervious to the press and Rice, Partey, and Jorginho generally have it in common, although they win those actions in different ways and they progress the ball in different ways.
We were in league-winning form last year with Rice-Jorginho-Odegaard in the midfield and we should look to maintain that dynamic.
Arteta loves tall technical strong players look at most at his signings
We talked about a left sided defender a lot during the season. I’m not surprised at all! Love this signing, I think he really unlocks Martinelli 💯🔥
I think Arteta's plan is to able to invert from both sides to target each team's weaknesses. With Calafiori and Timber on the right we would have Timber inverting and with Zinchenko and White we would have Zinchenko inverting.
Sane as your ideal signing is a mad take. He has been extremely underwhelming in the recent couple season. Surely as your ideal signing someone like Williams would make more sense
Williams has said he only wants Barca, I don’t fancy Arsenal’s chances of signing him.
Very good content. Keep it up bois. COYG
Calafouri would be a great LB with a similar transition like Ben White, our backline would be scary, Timber will play CDM next season with Rice and Odegaard in the midfield
I wonder will buying calafouri be to close the backdoor to give the forwards more freedom. Put rice at 6, timber/Cala/white/Tomi rotating. I could see eze with zinchenko being a disaster
I keep seeing that same timber dm opinion and I'm not sure why.
Unless we do moves specifically with intention to have him be a mid it's not gonna happen
I think if we do sign him it means Timber on the right with White moving to CDM- something I've thought he'd be perfect for for more than a year.
Timber is not playing DM
Timber ain’t playing CDM lol.
Calafiori’s progression may even help out Rice if he goes back to CDM.
Morning Charles
All due respect I think that it being a mystery German and you guys not even mentioning musiala or wirtz is crazy to me! They would by far and away be my top picks for a mystery German to play alongside odegaard centrally or potentially even on the wing (unless of course those are the names you can’t mention 😉)
Best show on YT charles n TNNT IS ELITE

@@jeevanrao7143 thanks , i was thinking team news n tix 😳
9:39 We need to improve our left side. It's a priority.
Morning Charles....
We are not worried about any moves for Gabriel are we??
...the realisation as i was going to sleep that Calafiori could be coming in because a huge bid again is imminent was too much for me to handle
Where is our cover for Saliba? And why do you think this hasnt been addressed as well as the left side??
Hey Charles, I’ve been seeing a lot of reports that Juve are looking to sell Chiesa and only want around 20-25 mil for him. I was wondering what are your thoughts on him? He’s only 26 and could be very solid cover for our wingers and would allow us to put more funds towards a midfielder or 2. Not the flashiest of names but an interesting one
He’d be good enough as a backup for Saka and if he settles in he might push him for a starting place.
And if there's a mystery German target, I hope it's Wirtz or Musiala rather than Kimich or Sane.
Charles i couldn't agree more about not rating Kimmich as a 6 at Arsenal. I watch the bundesliga religiously and I always rated him as a right back, for his absolutely clinical crosses into the box, and his very solid, disciplined man marking. But somehow as a 6 he just doesn't seem that dynamic, or a physical presence. And his penchant for good final balls ends up getting wasted across a full 90 because with Bayern's patient possession style, he defaults to pottering about in front of the defense, being a very neat and mechanical switch of play merchant. That's not to say he's a bad midfielder per se, just that he isn't ideal for Arsenal in that role, least of all considering his outspoken personality, his lack of chemistry with some coaches and players historically, his wages, his age, the fact he seemingly wants to play solely as a midfielder alledgedly etc.
But yeh imagine the scenes if we somehow pulled off musiala. Hell maybe it could be someone quite under the radar like Maxi Beier or Angelo Stiller
Hi Charles with Calafiori coming in I’ve a funny feeling Arteta is gonna cash in on Gabriel.
He had his head turned start of last season.
That’s why he was dropped for the opening games of last season.
Arteta has shown he’s ruthless ie Ramsdale.
What’s your thoughts ?
Cheers
That progression and thru ball will cook for the Left Side
Charles, any thoughts on Max Bieir. A versatile forward player, young, apparently there's a cheap release clause, and would fit the "out of the blue" unexpected transfer Arteta and Edu have surprised us with in the past.
Cheers, Matt
I think that's the guy they're talking about here as the name they've both heard.
Squad building is about smartly allocating your limited amount of resources to assemble the best squad you can. This Calafiori move just isn't what proper squad building is about - and yes, I know he is a good player who can play at LB and CB.
Hoping someone with a good heart sees this and says helloooooooo gooner
Hellooo gooner
@@edwinmatasi1995 thanks for replying, this means a lot 💓💓💓
I agree with others, this will probably be Saliba last season with arsenal before he moves onto bigger things
Apologies in advance for my comment not much related to this video.
But, outcome of this election reminds me a friend of mine from Germany who came to see Arsenal for the first time.
He thought Arsenal supporters are so passionate about politics when he heard they were singing 'North London is Red!'
I found it funny so didn't tell him what actually means!
I don’t think Calafiori means Kiwior HAS to go necessarily. I think in an ideal world we would have 8 defenders. Excluding Tierney & Tavares, Calafiori would be our 8th. Now granted it would mean our defensive options would lean heavily towards left sided options.
So if Kiwior wants to leave then we should definitely let him, but we don’t NEED to if the price isn’t right. If Kiwior does leave, I think we’ll need another defender, ideally a right sided player to make it 8.
Any chance we go after Dani Olmo? Always seems to impress for Spain, and seems versatile.
Hi Charles. Germany are out of the Euros, surely we can expect the speed at which we chase this mystery German to pick up now.
The name that you’ve heard, can you at least confirm the team they play for?
Kiwior is okay. Don't see the fuss with all media outlets already selling him.
Extra Time.
Guys, we need Angelo Stiller and we need to move now before another big team snaps him up. I was looking at Guirassy and I saw Stiller, he's Rice with better passing, he's so good we need to get him, If he goes to a Real or Barca im going to be f*cking fuming.
Mikeal wants to play with 4 centre backs that are fluid.

Hi Charles. Nowhere in the leak video mentions a GERMAN international. It could be a foreign player that plays in germany. what do you think?
So far evidence for mysterious player from germany either musiala or wirtz but wirtz look gonna stay and leave with xabi alonso to real madrid next season. Arsenal want young talented forward and they supposed to buy a striker in summer but the option was not there but the money they can spend still there. Arteta really like player who can play for more than one role and the option about left winger and can play in other role was limited. I know musiala sound crazy if we can make it happen and price will be 100+ but this the only make sense to me if they hide that name right now. They learning frm mudryk and even ricw so they not going to bidding war if any other club want it too. I can't see other name when they trying so hard to hide the name this far from the internet if just only for like sane, kimmich or even other young player who not proven yet.
Do you think the secret german could be Tony Kroos making a retirement u-turn.... one final lap in a arsenal shirt
I thought Reya's loan had a obligation to buy for 27m not a option to buy?
As far as the mystery German is concerned, a few names jump out from the data in terms of profiles Arsenal may like - assuming the left-sided defender situation is covered with Calafiori (otherwise Schlotterbeck would be very interesting) - in defensive midfield Exequiel Palacios looks like an ideal partner for Declan Rice with his press resistance and progressive passing, as an alternative I’d suggest Angelo Stiller from Stuttgart who maybe has an even higher ceiling. In attack, Karim Adeyemi profiles very similarly to Mykhalo Mudryk, who we know Arteta and Edu like. He’s left-footed too and can play through the middle so maybe another high ceiling option if Dortmund are willing to sell…
Data💀🤦🏻♂️
SAY.THE.NAME! (Heisenberg voice)
So we all know Arteta wants competition for every position. Do you think he's pushing for Calafiori instead of the other players you both listed that could also fit that roll to compete with Ben White for the most Handsome? Maybe Ben was getting to big of an ego...
Calafiori is a great prospect and I genuinely think magalhaes may still go to the Saudi league so it works well for us in the long run.
"I'd love Sane as a Saka backup" Jesus Christ.
It's actually amazing how arrogant some of our fans are, Leroy Sane walks into our starting XI every day of the week.
honestly thought timber would play lb next season maybe arteta has another plan with Calafiori looking set to come in. i know he might use him at cb mostly but im guessing he will be another for that position also
Maybe that was the plan- I certainly thought so too but we don’t know how his knee reacted to playing after the op.
ACL can take a long time to get back to 100%.
100% being, playing at your top level, without fear, every three days.
What do you guys think of the recent rumours about the Danish left back Patrick Dorgu from Lecce to Arsenal.
I really like what I have seen of Musiala…and it would be competition for Saka
Serge gnarby
He didn’t go euros.
He’s not good anymore and too expensive
Hi Charles,
You forgot Gianfranco Zola yesterday!
Sorry but Sané's lowest level is far too low. 1 good game out of 4 - character
is not good enough
Kane to arsenal ??
Hi Charles 👋 What's your favourite type of cheese? 🧀
Musiala operates in the same area where we currently have Martin Odegaard
How would we fit him in, by trying to show horn one of them into left 8? Because it doesn’t really make sense
Just to state, I love Musiala, but I don’t think people are considering this issue when throwing his name out there
Ødegaard is already an 8. We lost with two eights.
@@kunimitsune177 he’s not really an 8. The 8 plays on the left, which was Rice for a fair portion of the season, but sometimes Havertz (Xhaka the season before)
Odegaard plays slightly higher up, closer to Saka. This is the area Musiala predominantly plays in
Why does somebody have to leave? White/Tomiyasu, Saliba/Timber, Gabriel/Kiwior, Calafiori/Zinchenko.
We FINALLY have full coverage in every defensive position, and people want us to move someone on?
Our priority should be on a winger and one or two midfielders next, as well as moving on Nketiah, Nelson, Smith-Rowe, etc.
Ideally, a left footed winger, a defensive midfielder, and a #8. In terms of a striker, wait a year and try again for Sesko.
i will say this again.. there must be a reason why bayern push so much to sign xavi simons.. if you look at in term of profile and position vincent kompany want to play.. it similar to man city and arsenal.. KDB, odergaard and xavi simons.. with his(target) 2y contract left and how much arsenal try to hide the name.. All hint refer to him
It’s Schlotterbeck I know his family personally
Aswell as Calafiori?
Bullshit we’re literally signing Calafiori and haven’t even moved on Kiwior, there’s no way it’s Nico
Calafiori is smokescreen mark my words
England is built for 3-4-3. Southgate should have used it from the start instead of having Foden on the left wing and Tripper at left back.
?? We don't have actual wingbacks, or enough CBs and a two man midfield will only exacerbate the lack of partner for Rice.
This team is made for 4-4-2.
Hey Charlie, love the podcast and listen daily but as someone who lives outside of England it would be great to go light on the England chat. Really of no interest to people who are the same as me. Plenty of podcasts for that type of content. COYG
Find a club in your own bloody country then. I'm sure there's plenty of them.
Why not we can't try to bring James Rodriguez left foot midfielder who can play 10 and 8 as we were searching for Left foot number 8 very experience player as well short term contract and option to add may be use in his case.
Charles, can you teach your colleague how to pronounce Kiwior if he’s going to be a talking point next time. 😂
If Arsenal sign Califiori, what’s going to happen with Timber?
🤦🏻♂️
Must be Musiala or Wirtz then
I can’t wait to see Mustafi back oh Chelsea might end up hijacking the deal 😢
Is the name Max Beier?
If we do sign Claritin , I would play Timber at right back not White who struggles against talented wingers
Loool autocorrect got you too. Ben White is going nowhere mate Timber will find his minutes soon enough
Same is shockingly bad in front of goal. No thanks.
Its shocking when you can’t get the name right
Charles, why is Team News and Ticks masked? He speaks brilliantly and intelligently. Very knowledgeable and eloquent. We would like to see his face even if he is not very handsome.
Because he wants to remain anonymous.
Being anonymous means he is able to stay under the radar and gather all the information he uses on his channel. Once his face is known some avenues of information will dry up.
That makes sense @@peterww3106
Andrich?
Who is on the target list?
What about gnabry, cold he be the one?!?
It’s supposedly someone at the Euros with Germany. Gnabry isn’t there.
