They aren't playing full backs anyway btw - they're playing a back three with wing-backs. Not second half they weren't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean we could have at least tried, surely. Its not like we would have put all our eggs in one basket is it? Would love him to come out with this post-match: well, I tried to get him when I was at City, but my CEO stuffed up the deal and then Leeds gazumped us even if it was a lie 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contrary to popular belief, LJ did a lot of dealing with Eddie during that transfer saga.

Kid in the Riot Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 4 minutes ago, Harry said: Good to see Patino get a game and a goal. I managed to watch him for the u21’s against Swindon earlier this season in the EFL trophy. Was head and shoulders above all the other Arsenal u21’s, was clear he was was gonna be the next one to be given a chance. He's been linked with Barca and Real, and heralded as the best player to ever set foot in Hale End, so little surprise. He's got a big future and what a way to start his senior career. 4 minutes ago, Gillies Downs Leeds said: Not second half they weren't Fair enough, was listening on the wireless and they didn't make that clear. My point regards Pepe v COD remains though. We don't generally get in behind teams, so wouldn't help us v Sunderland at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing we could do at that stage, Leeds was a better option in his and his agents view. Not sure anyone "stuffed it up" this end, but may well be wrong.

Observant onlookers may have noticed that Callum Doyle was starting for S'land tonight on loan from Man City, and that LJ was sat next to Brian Marwood (Man City's Global DoF) at Newcastle U on Sunday. Yet we didn't get any Man City players on loan or otherwise while LJ was here. Wonder why that was.... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were obviously reading my posts at the time carefully. As it happens, Nketiah definitely made the wrong move, as Bielsa barely played him.

He's got a big future and what a way to start his senior career. Yep. I hadn’t seen him live before though, prior to my trip to Swindon when they played Ars u21’s in that noncey cup format. I’ve just found my WhatsApp message and albeit very brief report to our mutual friend - simply said “wonder kid Patino absolutely running the show for Ars. Has made errors but he’s trying things. Has a bit of bite about him too” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. That’s the game I was at. I just thought that, even amongst the other Arsenal players, he was head and shoulders above all of them. That night, he was the only one who I thought had any chance of breaking first team this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 Eddie played about 660 mins for Bielsa, 500 in the Champ and about 160 in the EFL Cup. So approx 5 and a half full league matches, and just under 2 Cup games. He'd have likely played loads more with us. His contract expires in the summer...

He started two league games at Leeds, he'd have started every single one he was available for here.

I was intrigued at the time to how LJ was gonna set us up…was it gonna be Fam and Eddie, because we’d started to see a shift to just one up-top and a no10. Always wondered how Weimann, Szmodics and then Palmer fitted “the plan”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
