Arsenal SIGN Kai Havertz! 

Was against this signing until I saw that rory thinks it’s bad and now I think it could be a world class signing

If these 3 say it's a bad signing, he's almost guaranteed to be amazing next season. COYG!

Spurs sign Richarlison as squad depth last season, Rory: “it’s a massive signing that’s a sign they’re a huge club” Arsenal sign Havertz this summer, Rory: “it’s an awful signing that doesn’t improve them”

These guys saying it's a bad signing means he will be a world beater for arsenal 🤣

My perspective on Kai as a Chelsea fan: He has been world class at times in the UCL(semifinal against madrid, dortmund this season). Games with more space to exploit with his burst of pace suits him. He struggled against low blocks in the PL. His workrate and off the ball movement are world class. If he can sort out his first touch and finishing he will be the complete package. Arteta will get more out of him than Chelsea ever did. His role is not a sole 9 with his back to goal. Congrats Arsenal fans.

If these guys don’t rate it. I’m all for it. Havertz for 20 goals next season 😂

I genuinely believe that Havertz in the Arsenal shirt will surprise everyone. If he's played correctly, knows his role and has that foundation that is non-existent at Chelsea, he will be exponentially better than what he's been like with the Blues. I believe in Havertz, I wanted him at Spurs before his move to Chelsea. Nonetheless, I hope he can revitalise his career and showcase the talent that he DOES have; not just this concept of "height is the only good thing about him".

I think Havertz adds depth to Arsenal. Plus Arsenal have a good structure and actually know how they want to play. Kai gives them added quality.

I honestly believe Kai will shock everyone & become world class. Arsenal style play fits him better than chelsea

So he's a weakling but the only example Rory can think of is Havertz getting one over Dan Burn, thus proving his theory incorrect. Great analysis boys as always!!!

I remember when these clowns said saka isn’t world class and gallager is better, and erling haaland wont cut it in the league. These clowns are not coaches. Arteta has the eye wenger used to have.

We just signed Chelsea's best player! We have just taken one of the most experienced midfielder in the premier league followed by one of the most creative players in the premier from the "biggest team in london". This changes everything!

I don't think it worked out that well for him at Chelsea because of the position he was played in and the other players around. Him going to Arsenal will rejuvenate his career as he'll be in a better team and also he won't have to play as the Striker but can play as an attacking midfielder instead.

I didn't think much of Ødegaard when they decided to sign him, but now he's playing the best football of his life so I can see Kai having a bit of a resurgence.

The foolishness of judging someone who was in a system where absolutely nobody flourished and shined

He probs will play in the midfield . Timber Saliba Gabriel tuck in as a back 3. Zinchenko and rice will be our double Pivot. Martinelli and saka as our wide players. Odegaard havertz as attacking 8’s with Jesus down the middle. It works. We tried it with vieira when Xhaka was out but he doesn’t have the physicality yet. The best traits I’ve seen from kai is his aggression physicality movement and ability With the right players around him in the right system he works.

Havertz will be amazing at arsenal. I have a feeling Odegaard and Havertz think and want to play the same way. So i think their link up play will be amazing

As a Chelsea fan I agree that Havertz isn't amazing consistently. and I don't particularly mind him leaving either. But he hasn't been a weakling or a defensive liability the last half of his chelsea career. I wonder how closely Rory watches our games because the ONE thing that Havertz has gotten better at during his time at Chelsea is his toughness and work ethic. Being one of our hardest working forwards last season. That has been the sole reason I've quite grown to like him even though offensively he barely produces.

They don’t understand the idea of Arteta ball. The aim is to play fluid dynamic football. All the players will drift around in games. Havertz will roam and float into spaces.

When rory says it's a bad signing, you know it's the perfect signing. 😁

Adam nailed it. If we get our main targets, Haverzt is a good addition. I think Arteta plays him in as a midfielder, but with tactical options to move players around. What doesn’t add up, is where does this leave ESR.

Well done Rory 😂 spot on as always

Havertz being left footed brings balance in the midfield where i think he is most suitable,if u saw Xhaka last season he got forward alot,i think its a good signing for Arseanl.......YNWA

Cracking signing. Remember these clowns were laughing at Ramsdale. Said Maddison was better then mø.

"Bad Signing" from these group of youtubers give me hope and encouragement that it is very good signing for Arsenal.

I think McKola is closer to the money (how about that?) than all three of them. He’s a player we were linked to prior to his move to Chelsea, so we know he is of a profile that we need; even if it’s just for depth. Only now we have a far stronger squad for him to work with and more ways of getting the best out of him. I think he’ll do just fine in an Arsenal shirt and *certainly* get the respect the man deserves for what he puts in than he ever did at Chelsea.

Well Rory thinks it's a bad deal so he's gonna be great for us :)

If Mikel wants him then there is a tactic that he fits into very well. Instead of acting like we’re professional coaches ourselves. I would like to see a breakdown of how he will be used rather than how confused we are cause that’s what everyone is saying

I look forward to revisiting this clip in 3 years when Havertz is seen as an elite player and just one more player who left Chelsea for a brighter future.

as a united fan i think he will be a great signing for arsenal he's quick and good in the air as good control and won Chelsea a champs league i would sign him for united in a heartbeat

What a delectable medley of Boehly’s masterclass

If Buvey and Rory say it won’t work, it will work

This is a huge loss for Chelsea. Chelsea did him a disservice & I believe he will be known for his time at Arsenal.

What a signing for Arsenal

Thanks bro for your updates

Best signing this summer till now. I'm happy with that

I just have a feeling that all of these Havertz to Arsenal takes are going to age poorly. If Arteta uses him correctly, which I’m almost 100% sure he will, he will be a good signing. We shouldn’t have sold him to a rival who are looking to challenge again. Even though Nkunku is an upgrade on Havertz, he shouldn’t be sold to Arsenal.

He's gonna kill it for arsenal guys! bags of talent, wasnt used in his best position at chelsea! cant wait to see him in the arsenal shirt! adds more depth and quality to our squad, now to add rice and a right back, keen to see what happens

Havertz has pace, hes a brilliant dribbler and he tracks back with his strong work ethic, hes a perfect candidate, we have good finishers already so we are ok. He will thrive in our team COYG.

Its very simple. Havertz offers Arsenal quality in depth in numerous positions and allows Arteta to change his tactics against different oppositions. At Leverkusen he was played in the 8 and 10 position. I think Arteta deserves some trust now with his coaching abilities to be able to play Havertz in Xhakas role (hes only 24!) or a replacement for odegaard or saka on the wing. Listen we've all been here before and judged Arteta's signings before the season has even started and he's proved us all wrong. I fully trust him to integrate Havertz into this young, flourishing and exciting squad. 🔴⚪

Can't wait to re-watch this at the end of the season 😂

Well arsenal were closest challengers to city last season and citys strength is their depth, city had mahrez foden and walker on their bench in the cl final, so even if havertz is a rotational player, as long as they can get the best out of him its a top team mentality signing

‘Screams of indecision’ when it’s the first big signing any team in the prem have made so far. If anything, whether you think it’ll work or not, you’d have to say Arsenal have been very decisive about this one and getting it done.

He adds serious depth to Arsenal plus Arteta can now play with two number 10 (Odegaard and Havertz) with Partey behind.

This will turn out to be a decent signing. Havertz isnt the only chelsea signing that has not worked out. He is a good player and is up to him to take his game up a level. With arsenal giving him a second chance/ new lease of life so to speak, i think he could turn out to be a firmino style player.

There's a player in there somewhere but perhaps not for either of these teams or in this league. Hope it works out for him

I was worried about this signing, especially at the fee we paid, but after watching this video I am far more confident he is gonna come good for us. He played as one of the two number 10s for Leverkusen with Brandt and excelled. Reports of Madrid trying to sign him for months and even coming in at the end asking what Arsenal was willing to pay.

Tifo channel just did a GREAT explanation on this. I was apart of the majority to scratch my head why Arteta wants him, but after watching that video it makes sense oddly lol

sometimes you need to assess someone on their profile over how they've performed. teams set up differently, they have different environments that suit a player better. he doesn't need to be a starter immediately, the season is long. he can play along the front three. we also saw in the last few games of last season that arteta tried a 3-5-2 system, which gives us more tactical flexibility and lets havertz play as a shadow striker.

Just draw a line through Havertz time at Chelsea to gauge him as a player. World class International heading in to his prime in a team growing toward their prime and a top 4 team striking for the top.

Most important in place of Odegaard..that could be game changer. we had no backup of odegaard.

We play a new drinking game. Every Club video we take a shot whenever Adam brings up 115. Were usually too drunk to finish most vids

I don’t understand the transfer from Arsenal perspective but whatever. How come the spotify full version is only audio?

He’s young and just needed a team with some stability, I can see Rory fuming in a few months when Havertz becomes the player we know he can be

As a fan of neither of these clubs i do think its a good signing personally , when i think of arsenal i think of fast paced football with flair and he seems like he has that in him i just dont think he suited Chelsea style . When i think of chelsea i think of teams who are solid to break down and more of a unit overall which he isnt that type of plauer but i may be completely wrong as i cant really say i watch much of chelseas gamea

People tend to go forget that arteta is a student of pep and what pep does best is involve players into a TEAM which is what city is. A team of great players what improve each other, grealish is prime example. Adding depth and quality is what arsenal are doing. ( Chelsea supporter )

I think what Arteta is doing is move towards Liverpool had back in the Mane Firmino Salah days. Firmino Drops into Midfield to link up play and basically uses football intelligence to get the other 2 to 20 goals a season. Kai has this ability and oddly he'll probably get more goals because his jb won't exactly to get the goals

Arteta clearly sees something he can coach out of him that Chelsea hasn't been utilising. He's not the player I would have gone for, and if he's just there for depth, then it's a strange move because cheaper alternatives were available.

His best position is false 9 or second striker amd arteta will use this to monopolise the ball. He has a lot of good attributes, carrying the ball, pressing, and off the ball runs, with decent link up.

I'm an Arsenal and this one intrigues me, after what we did last season and how our recent signings have progressed Arteta and Edu deserve some trust. I can only think that we are signing Havertz because Arteta has plans to use him completely differently to how and where he played at Chelsea with the benefit that he can also play as a forward if needed

Kai Havertz and Emille Smith-Rowe are the replacements for the vacant Xhaka role, so this is a sensible signing as he is a far better player than most people think, as proven at Bayer Leverkusen

Salah, de bryune, lukaku and so many ithers who left chelsea and stepeed up. Maybe the same could happen to Havertz.

If he performs like how good he is on football manager then it's a great signing

I reckon he is going to be mostly used on a mostly rotational basis whether that’s at ST on the Right or in Odegaard’s role

watchin this now, IS CRAZZZZYYYYY

Tottenham have verbally agreed an initial £17.2m deal with Empoli to sign goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario

I wonder if Arteta is planning on using Havertz like how Klopp did Firminho not necessarily going to score the most goals, but without him in certain games the team is not just the same, the ultimate utility man. Because i agree that Havertz is an odd signing not quite sure how he will be best used

Given the toxic atmosphere at Chelsea over that last season or two, its no wonder Havertz struggled. Arteta sees something in him so that enough for me to give this a 100% thumbs up and believe that Havertz will surprise us all

Do people just forget what he was like at Leverkusen? You can't take his chelsea form into account because chelsea's form as a whole squad has been poor over the last couple seens. Constantly changing managers who use him differently. Honestly think Arteta will get the best out of him.

What a delectable sight of the brilliance of allmighty Bohely to gunger up a splendid deal between two majestic clubs

If City signed Havertz Buvey would be stroking one out and claiming it as an inspired transfer. Fact is Arsenal have signed a player with his best years ahead of him and play in a way with a progressive manager that entertains and allows for expression. If Rice also signs with Timber and perhaps Lavia we will be cooking! As it stands I see the PL being a 2 horse race between Arsenal and City and may the best team win!

He terrorised us at ibrox in the number 10 surely that’s his best position since that’s where he played pre chelsea

History of football is full of players that where mediocre at one club and thrived in another. Arsenal in it's fairly recent history hast two examples. Henry and Bergkamp where class at Arsenal but in Italy nowhere near the heights they reached at Arsenal. Both transfers where questioned when they signed, the rest is history.

They bought him for squad depth. People get hung up on price tags but in 2023 its fairly arbitrary

Ya, i think it is a good signing for Arsenal to bolster their attacking power

Havertz is class, only question is consistency

Someone call me out on it if I'm wrong, but isn't a midfield of David Silva - Rodri/ Fernandinho - KDB similar in balance to Havertz - Rice - Odegaard?

As unsure of transfer it is there's no denying there's a really good player there with untapped potential. We've seen this movie before in recent years at Arsenal and the system has allowed players to flourish.

He will play as one of the 8s with Odegaard, with Rice, Caiceido / Lavia as holders & Gabriel, Saliba, White behind them when they have the ball.

Arsenal spending 65M and 250k a week on Try Hardvertz is absolutely hilarious.

Arteta thinks He is going to be a Arsenal's Haaland. Tall Lanky Striker with Pace

Arsenal signed Harvertz to replace the role Xhaka played last season. With Zinny playing in the midfield from Left back in the inverted stuff ,forms a base with Rice. Leaves a player to roam free and join in the attack like Xhaka did. That is what Harvertz will do. Ghost into space and link up play. Free role with not much defensive duty involved

One thing we can also say Arsenal may change there system then he will be a fit no matter what. Arteta knows what his unlocked potential is. Arsenal fans they trust arteta and the process.

Watch TIFO Kai is one of the best pressers off the ball. So yes he’ll be fine in the midfield. Same was said when city started david silva and KDB in the midfield together but it was fine.

I’m going out on a limb here, I think arteta will make him better and I really hope he proves Rory wrong, love the content but fingers crossed you are all wrong.

This is what people are forgetting. This conversation they are having about where does Havertz fit in this team was the same one Chelsea fans had when they signed havertz. If I can refresh your memory how rumors came out that Mason’s dad was angry at Chelsea because it would rival his position and that Chelsea already had pulisic Zeyiech Werner mount. Havertz flopped at Chelsea because he was never the clear choice for a position and the same will happen at arsenal because he is not a clear choice for any position

Imo i think arsenal should find at least 2 CM instead of havertz coz heard that partey could be leaving this summer after xhaka

In this arsenal team we dont really have a number 9 which is perfect for havertz, he doesnt want to play as a striker, he wants to move around, and he couldn’t do that at chelsea

Rory knows that Havertz will be a good signing for Arsenal. He is scared to admit it and he doesn't want to see it

Havertz defensive ability is underrated. His pressing workrate and interception is good and he can play the xhaka role

He's a fella that can play anywhere along the front 3, and can play as an attacking mid. Problem is, he doesn't do either of those 4 positions that well. And this is coming from an Arsenal fan. Look, I'll back him. But I have a lot of doubts. And I hope I am wrong.

Same crap from the same people when they signed Ramsdale and Ben White and Jesus....

Peace out A town killed me 🤣

I can see him do great things if Arteta plays him in the Xhaka role. He's not a number 9 or a winger, that's how Chelsea used him and he was horrendous in those roles. It always always felt like Chelsea in recent years just opened up a can of players and just threw them on the pitch. There was no vision behind it.

I Love You All Especially Rory I Think You Recall What Happen and What All people Think When Ramsdale Come To Arsenal Or Ben White And both Were Championship Player Arteta Saw Something We Didn’t And I think The Same About Kai ❤

If they sign all the other targets they want, timber, and rice especially. Then he will be in the midfield. As then you’ll have timber and zinchenko tuck in behind them. Especially with the pace of saliba.

Ridiculous from Arsenal! Well done Chelsea what a sale 😂 why don’t we give them £50m for Sterling while we are at it.

Arsenal play a fluid system its not just 4-3-3 arsenal also share goals in Thier team with xhaka going kai havertz fills that void in the half space potentially gets more goals than xhaka did also can link with Jesus. Again its a fluid system he aint replacing odegaard

Football is all about profiles now, its no longer about formations. Havertz gives Arsenal different profiles to play with. If Arsenal sign Rice alongside Havertz, he can almost certainly play the left #8 to make that left pod more attack minded. Arsenal can shift to a diamond in midfield with Rice and his ability to break up counters. Arsenal can also play with an extra attacker with a backline of Rice, Gabriel, Saliba and White. You have to look at Arteta's system as dynamic. players have positions, but they are more fluid. Defend with 5 attack with 5. Rice and Havertz on the pitch together would mean Arsenal, when chasing games can defend with 4 and attack with 6. We can push the backline further up. Havertz also has an incredible ability to create chances. The problem with Chelsea has been that they're terrible the past two seasons in putting those chances away. They didn't have a striker so they were forced to put Havertz up there. This is not the case with Arsenal. He also wins a ton of duels, which is huge since that was one of the issues for Arsenal during the run-in.

Kai will replace Granit in no time. You can just see it kai making those runs on left flank or driving into opposition box or getting then end of a through ball. Xhaka did it well but i think kai will do it naturally on that role
