It felt like they were most comparable with Chelsea in two thousand five.

Obviously, two thousand five was Chelsea's first Premier League title win.

And then the the midfield they had that summer or that season was Lampard Makalele and Thiago.

None of them did anything wrong, really.

Um but

They reacted that summer by signing Michael SCN.

That took them three months to to complete, you know, with Leon being quite tough negotiators.

Um, but they were able to get that done, get over the line, and Sien gave them a different dimension that helped them retain the league for the first time.

So I think those are the the things that I've seen that make me more excited about this uh happening.

And I get people will have, you know, concerns about his age, but um those aren't massive concerns for me considering how he's been able to play throughout his years at Newcastle.

I did see the stat actually, uh, Chris Woth did something for the World Cup series, uh, where he mentioned I think Newcastle have only won twice when Bruno's not started for them.

Um so you can see there is like a big a big emphasis on his leadership, not just in terms of what he's doing with the ball, but how he can actually drag a team through a game.

Hm.

And it didn't feel like they were as fast as he was speaking about.

Um, but it felt also like Arsenal needed a moment in the summer to show like they were acting like champions.

Um, it felt like to make that next step, because we all knew they wanted to upgrade, they needed to show, okay, we're gonna strut our stuff basically.

And it

feels like even being in the conversation with Vinicius Jr.

is doing that.

Um what I would say is in terms of football, pure football, what excites me about it is it allows Arsenal, if it does happen, to potentially make another evolutionary step with Mikel Arteta.
