      Definitely going to be Inverted Wing back. He's going to be Zinchenko v2 role if Zinchenko didnt play. Or maybe arteta will slowly convert him into CDM just like how pep doing on stones.

      This guy for sure can be a great backup for partey. Compose, calm , have an eye for line breaking pass. Just like partey, but he is more agile than partey , press resistent like partey.

      As an Arsenal fan that tactical talkboard made not feel able to wait for the new season to start, so much variety and ability to keep the opponent guessing.

      The stats was a nice showing but I feel you missed the chance to highlight Timber and White for comparison.
      Timber has better dribbling stats, crossing accuracy, better heading stats, better passing (possession) stats, more progressive passes although lower accuracy on through balls, slightly longer and more accurate on long passes while being slightly behind White on goal threat. All those stats which you shown are favourable to Timber when compared to current inverted fullback, White. Yet in the tactical board you quickly skim past him in that role and how Arteta looks at transitioning and players in those transition periods. Going from a 3 CB 2 DM into a 2 CB and 3DM as we push forward is something Timber offers along with White. They both have awareness of CB role so if Saliba got dragged out right in a quick counter then both White and Timber know how to play CB so they can cover Saliba. Timber having high progressive passes is good for players who our AM can pass back to for possession recycling. I.E. switching side of play, Saka passes back to Timber who passes over to Martinelli.
      When attacking then we can consider how pushed up he would be in a high def line if playing as the inverted RB. Just like Ben White was last season. Arteta allows his inverted fullback to occasionally make driving runs forward and we seen White link up with Saka and MO8 to get into the box and make cut-backs. Ben White got 0.01 more xA per 90 than timber who played as a CB, one could imagine that increasing in Arteta inverted fullback role.
      Timber looks ideal as a player to come in and push Ben White for that inverted fullback role. He will take time to learn it but his stats would suggest that Ben White would need to be the best version of himself to remain the starter. It would also allow White to fill in at CB is Saliba got injured which was a season defining moment for us.

      this vid didn't exactly fill me with confidence on the signing, but he's only 22 with a handful of good attributes already, i'm hoping with more coaching and playing within a better team he can raise his level to be that player we need. I believe! great vid as usual pythagoras, appreciate all the work you do

    35. User2244 on

      He will be great Arteta will teach him more composure of the ball his only weakness is sometimes he wants fast action but that will get better in time. Apart from that he’s very talented.

    36. Wontong Soup on

      By all indications he will be used as an Inverted right back at Arsenal, can't see him as a CB unless Arsenal have a bad injury crisis

    41. Rapid Fire on

      I was under the impression that he was better than this. Not great at centre back or right back and only maybe better in a bespoke position. Potential to improve but overall i'm underwhelmed. Hopefully Arteta will know where to play him and how to get the best out of him.

    42. milan on

      He could play that stones like role for arsenal, havertz odegaard declan and timber would be an elite box midfield

    48. Ariel Segoun on

      How can you lined up without Kai Havertz??😢. I think this guy will surprise many of you.

      The line-up for me may be:
      Timber-Saliba-Gabriel Martinelli-Zinny-Rice-Saka oodegard-Jesus-Havertz
