Yh ok that one I disagree with. I don't see any Scholes comparison.I think the bigger eye opener was Zinchenko being more highly rated than Fabregas as a midfielder and giving off ‘Scholes vibes’.
This kind of thing does make one question the Arsenal assessment of a player
Maybe it's like defending family. You spend every waking moment insulting your little brother... but the moment your mate joins in the banter, you find yourself threatening to fight your friend.
I feel like he was trying to upset everyone with that take.I think the bigger eye opener was Zinchenko being more highly rated than Fabregas as a midfielder and giving off ‘Scholes vibes’.

I think if you forget to do a basic thing that you are hired to do like drawing a line and if you are doing such a job that you head has to publically offer apology multiple times over a season you have that coming in any form of life.
United fans on this forum are a bunch of toddlers who I have a hard time agreeing with about anything, and I say that as one of them. Honestly, you'd probably find that most of them moan about water being wet.
Yeah, but you can't expect oppos to have such a nuanced opinion about Shaw. We don't see as much of him as you do, so the only opinion we can have is if he's world class or if he's shite.
That’s a very fair take.
True, since Martinelli isn’t world class, he’s utterly shite.
I don't know whether Martinelli is WC, but I guess it's all relative? At his best, which has been more often than not the last few seasons, even when the team was struggling, there aren't currently any LWs significantly better than him, if at all. If you swap Martinelli with any of them, that team at best gets better, or at worst stays at the same level of footballing quality. His style, strengths, and weaknesses, may differ from said player, but his qualities in other areas are high enough to make up for it.
That’s a very fair take.
That's a very fair point. I think we all do that to some extent though, it's why you'll always get home player bias from fans.
Don't ever go on Arsenal Mania!
Yep. There’s a reason so many Gooners are here.
Yeah they seem to think the red in redcafe is for Arsenal
Very true. I don't think there are even that many posters on there left. Half are total nutjobs.
Do you find other forums any better? You won’t because they’re all worse. You’re just finding our fans worse and an easy target to bemoan because we haven’t been winning. How were the Arsenal fan TVs and Rawks of this world pre success (Arsenal haven’t had any yet but will)?
You say that but I think if we swapped Shaw for Zinchenko we'd be relatively worse off. Completely different players. Equally, if you did the same you'd probably be no better really.
I mean... That doesn't logically make any sense, but ok.
I think the point is both are good players who suit the style of their team. If swapped, Arsenal would lose the ability to outnumber opponents in midfield and United would have an inferior one-on-one defender at LB.
I mean it does. We need Zinchenkos leadership, experience and his ability to play in midfield.
Precisely. Which is why arguments like “how many of X’s players would get into Y’s team” can be reductive. Shaw doesn’t get into Arsenal’s team. But Zinchenko doesn’t get into United’s team, either.
Huh. I always thought it was redcafe for Marxcafe.
But that's true!

Yes I'm sure we're all a bit nervous with the figure mentioned as the club worked so hard to get the wage bill down. However, replacing him if he left would definitely be much more in this inflated market.His agent is getting him his dues. Saw on reddit that it’s 78 million for the length of the contract which is probably what we'd have to pay in transfer fee alone to replace him.
Let's hope he avoid the big contract curse
The type of people that can afford or are daft enough to pay £50k for a football ticket id imagine are the type of people that can afford to lose £50k and not worry about it.Apparently, tickets for the final day against Wolves are going for 50K pounds or something.
Obviously its not gonna happen, but imagine buying those tickets now and then having Arsenal collapse from now until the end of the season. Would mean you paid 50k for a dead rubber game
It's pretty fecking sickening. Trying to get tickets to even ordinary games is just impossible for most people now.Apparently, tickets for the final day against Wolves are going for 50K pounds or something.

Most games I go to now are for lower league sides as I know I'll always get a ticket. Trying to get two for an Everton game is barely possible now as you have to both have a club account (paid for) to get a heads up on tickets. General sale just isn't really possible.
It does seem to be the way to go if you want to watch games at the stadium.
I feel it's the same for both for different reasons. People want to snap up your tickets to see a title winning side. People want to snap up ours in case it's the last PL game they see at Goodison.It does seem to be the way to go if you want to watch games at the stadium.
Never mind general sale, I'm paying £40 a year for a club account and they're all sold out before I even get a chance to buy one
I live in Scotland so not really a regular match going fan, but I read an article about bots buying up a lot of tickets every time they go on sale to sell on resale sites etc.
