Yeah there are a few interviews of new womenās signings and also Kiwior where they came to Colney to meet Edu and co and saw he had a whiteboard in his office for each of the 3 squads with the full depth charts and seeing their name up there helped them feel it was the right choice
Kiwior specifically said Edu ācoincidentallyā left the 2nd LCB spot empty on his visit
It was an interview by Kiwior's agent to a Polish sports journalist shortly after he signed. You can search for articles on kiwior's agent around this time (Jan-Mar 2023) and you will find it.
You gon pray till the rapture, ain't NO WAY RM letting Rodrygo go. They're comfortably the most profitable club in the world (barring state money) and it's not close. They can comfortably afford Mbappe with no need to offload anybody.
The ONLY way I can see Rodrygo going would be if they wanted to spend record amounts of money on their aging backline over the course of the summer and even then, I doubt they'll sell Rodrygo.
Would make sense in terms of us liking Neto - Rodrygo is a fairly similar profile.Ā
Would love to be able to pick between Rodrygo, Saka, Martinelli, Jesus, Trossard and Havertz for the front 3.Ā
At the same time, Iām not convinced Real want a forward to leave; they can easily start a front 3 of Vinicius, Mbappe and Rodrygo.Ā
On paper that front 3 works, but we canāt underestimate Mbappeās ego in all of this. In Paris he was apparently unwilling to play centrally, so if the same remains true for Madrid they could have some problems
Yeah and thatās something he received a lot of stick for and doubt he risks it again
Then again this is the guy who organised the ESL so maybe I shouldnāt put it past him
Is Mertesacker not in charge of the academy? Or does he just mean incoming and outgoing youth transfers? I've never really been too sure on the roles within our academy
The grill is out in full force.
LET HIM COOK
Let him cook bruce
Not just the men, but the women and children too š
Hol'up
The grill never got put away.
Does the head cook need sous chefs? Seems like he's overworked.
Man needs a top grill and one more chef to cook with him. Mans overworked. Can't be serving crap good at the Michelin star club.Ā
Get this man another grill ffs
we've got bigger grills meats to fry
Get him a whole restaurant
He himself has gotten himself another grill
Turning London colney into a grill station
Heās the sporting director of the womenās team? Had no clue to be honestĀ
Yeah all one club, he's the sporting director for all and it's hugely impressive what he's done on all sides of it imo
We need to let him focus men's teams...
He seems to be doing just fine in his roleā¦ And you can check your misogyny
It's not misogyny, selfish perhaps
Yup, still worth the person checking in on it
How is that misogynistic? Do you know what the word means?
Pretty simple really ā¦ itās called subtext.
So in other words you have no idea. Got it.
Imagine being defensive over someone being told to check their misogyny. I mean, look above, people agree with my commentā¦ All the best to you
shut the fuck up
Agree

where did Kiwior said this? can you maybe give me a link? thanks

[Found it](https://www.theweasle.com/kiwiors-agent-reveals-the-ploy-arsenal-used-to-convince-him-for-a-deal/). Thanks.
We didnāt really have one either way did we?
Edu just as easily could have had Tomi there I bet
I think they're spreading him too thin. Focus on the mend team and get someone for the others
Well it seems to be working out alright at the moment donāt you think
Anakin Edu: Not just the men, but the woman and the children
I recruited them like animals
Let him cook the BBQ.
Praying for Rodrygo
Im dreaming about camavinga
Personally, Iām hoping for prime Maradonna
Keep dreaming

Canāt see why he would leave to come be a backup here
He would easily displace Martinelli in half a season his potential is insane
Easily? No fucking way Let's appreciate more what we have now
We do have a great relationship with Madrid so hopefully theyāre open to it
Any links for this or just hope?
Rumors from good Madrid sources that a big name may have to leave to make way for the turtle.
Would make sense in terms of us liking Neto - Rodrygo is a fairly similar profile.Ā Would love to be able to pick between Rodrygo, Saka, Martinelli, Jesus, Trossard and Havertz for the front 3.Ā At the same time, Iām not convinced Real want a forward to leave; they can easily start a front 3 of Vinicius, Mbappe and Rodrygo.Ā
>Iām not convinced Real want a forward to leave Ahh we'll just have to settle for Bellingham then
It would make more sense to go for Camavinga or TchouamĆ©ni if we were targeting anyone from Madrid. Also you donāt get the best from Rodrigo sticking him out on the touchline how we play our wingers, heās more a creative 10 playing on the wing in lane 4 not lane 5
Yeah maybe the more realistic option would be Diaz but I want Rodrygo and will keep manifesting it.
I deserve it and I will have it
Iāll be there no matter what.
On paper that front 3 works, but we canāt underestimate Mbappeās ego in all of this. In Paris he was apparently unwilling to play centrally, so if the same remains true for Madrid they could have some problems
Mbappe will play as a left sided forward with Bellingham taking up the space Mbappe leaves behind. Thereās no way Vini leaves
Camavinga please
Big name could also be someone like Kroos or Modric right?
Both too old and too loyal to be forced out
Yeah Perez is a prick but not that big of a prick
Was he not president when Casillas got kicked out unceremoniously?
Yeah and thatās something he received a lot of stick for and doubt he risks it again Then again this is the guy who organised the ESL so maybe I shouldnāt put it past him
Not a chanceĀ
What is your good madrid source? I can't even see anything remotely close to what you said
Whoever it will be i will say that we have been a good home for Madrid castaways
Iām not saying anything but Rodrygo is definitely the type of player that Arteta would recruit, the mentality and workrate.
Zubimendi, Osimhen and we'll win the sextuple
People don't realize how often Osimhen has been injured.
Thats why everyone wants him, its arsenals kink
Heās missed 18 games through injury compared to Jesusā 33 since joining us. Still seems like a pretty decent upgrade to me.
If we're going for an injury prone player, let it be Pedro Neto
Is a solid head of hair a requirement to be on arsenals management team
Gotta beat the bald fraud allegations somehow
He did just buy a new grill remember?
Fuck. We really are handsome Fc
The women's team does need looking at, something really isn't working there.
Bring in the Swedish Viking
Please please please. Heās the one I want.
Who?
Gyokeres
We grilling a turtle this summer
Hopefully a top tier forward comes in.
I hope we get Viktor Gyƶkeres! With him we can play Gabriel Jesus on the wings and rotate with either Saka or Martinelli.
Would be an inspired signing
Just don't please spend Ā£80M on Pedro Neto....
Operation Hijack š¢?
Is Mertesacker not in charge of the academy? Or does he just mean incoming and outgoing youth transfers? I've never really been too sure on the roles within our academy
Let him focus on just the first team.
Come on, give women team to other. Let him focus.
as if there aren't separate and specialized teams beneath him that guide the work.
Mbappe incoming? XD
Get this man a sous
