I know he has dual citizenship. But i didn't expect Jorginho to pop out there.

For most Brazilians, Jorginho is Brazilian, he just doesn't play for the Brazilian NT, much like how Deco used to be.

I still forget he plays for Italy sometimes.

I figure it's like a Balogun situation.

Americans are proud that he plays for them, but everyone knows he's English.

u/charizardFT26 avatar

Or Matty Cash

u/momspaghetty avatar

nah Mateusz Cashowski is as Polish it gets mate

I live in the shit hole that is Slough, crazy to see matty cash and armando broja both come from there... both play premier league and internationally and neither play for England haha

He's about as Italian as Balogun is American

u/vprokopev avatar

His name is Jorginho and he is a professional footballer. Even if he doesn't have Brazilian passport and never been to Brazil, he is Brazilian to me.

Jorginho - the Italian with a Brazilian name Martinelli - the Brazilian with an Italian name

u/shikavelli avatar

He was born and Brazil and lived there until 15

Sergiño Dest is my favorite Brazilian.

I won’t lie, he has always been a consummate professional and even though he plays for the scum, I never once viewed him with Chelsea stink all over him.

u/codhimself avatar

Agree. He was already a legend before coming to London, so he's immune to the Chelsea.

I haven't had the same reaction to Casemiro at Man United though. That guy can fuck off.

u/Thesecondorigin avatar

Casemiro is not even that good in the context of a JDP system. There is a gigantic reason why Madrid moved him high up the pitch in the buildup so that kroos and modric could do their thing

JDP system?

Many time UEFA and world team of the season vs the 3rd-best midfielder at Real Madrid

5 times champions league and multiple La Liga winner vs the guy who spent his career collecting paycheques at PSG. I know who I’m more impressed by.

We were in for him before we bought Luiz. He was one of Artetas/edu first choices but he chose the Chelsea wages instead, sad.

Would've been an absolute dream to have gabi xl and saliba learn under him and improve even further. Instead he's playing babysitter for that dead talentless (bar colwill) Chelsea backline

Chelsea at that time where still under the Roman Era and a better equipped squad going into the new season. I think it was a no brainer for Silva to easily chose Chelsea.

u/biff444444 avatar

Absolutely - the guy somehow manages to exude class, even in that crappy squad.

u/visualdescript avatar

Thiago Silva is all class, incredible player.

Some players are like that.

Feel the same of Javier Hernandez

u/CackleberryOmelettes avatar

It's so annoying. Chelsea spent all that money only to be bailed out by a guy they got for free. And he just refuses to grow old like the rest of us.

Why is he still so good? Makes no sense.

u/Amberle73 avatar

All 3 Gabis plus a bonus Jorgi, excellent choices!

u/Zizouhimovic avatar

"Would you like those to go?"

Not many know this cheat code but if the 3 Gabis ever score in the same exact match, the heavens will open up and Arsenal automatically becomes champions of that competition

u/momspaghetty avatar

like when we scored with Saka, Laca & Xhaka vs Chelsea we automatically secured "Red" status in London

u/viralegrossegpa avatar

what about Gabi number 4,5 and 6 ?

u/CoqnRoll avatar

If we get Moscardo then it works

u/viralegrossegpa avatar

we already have 6, William Andre Gabriel Saliba, Gabriel Areta and Gabrielle Figueiredo

Interesting he chose Jorginho, he is Brazilian but plays for the Italian team

Yeah but they played together for years at Chelsea, and would have talked in Portuguese so he definitely just thinks of him as Brazilian

He's more Brazilian than he is Italian lol

He’s Brazilian until he turns Italian. Thats how it works.

Pls don't do this

tbf he only acquired Italian citizenship because he lived in Italy whilst playing, he doesn't have any ancestry at all I don't think

Great grandparent, think italians are less strict about ancestral citizenship

u/ErraticPragmatic avatar

He's still Brazilian he didn't give up his citizenship

More replies

I mean who else is he going to pick? How many great brazillian passers are there in the pl?

Gabi XL most underrated Brazilian passer

I can't really think of a week passer in our squad to be fair.

Eddie is probably our weakest. But his close passing is good enough and where he plays he rarely needs to hit them long.

u/Thesecondorigin avatar

Havertz right now but that will improve in time.

no more doginelli dribbling jokes

No gabby Jesus for dribbling is crazy. Cunha for shooting lol.

I think Gabriel is better in tight areas but 100% Gabriel is better in a dribble at pace.

Hard disagree. I think Gabriel is better in tight areas but 100% Gabriel is better in a dribble at pace.

It's close for sure. But can we forget Gabriel? He's also good on the dribble

Thiago, its not too late mate. Come chill on these sides but we dont expect you to play or anything cause we have standards no offence

I believe we have FOGGIN ESTANDARDS, thankyouverymuch.

He's still brilliant and a step above kiwior at the very least. Don't think he'd start over our two main boys however

u/kylehyde05 avatar

Yeah we def need him now that Kiwior is the only backup CB we have

Jesus more physical than big gabi is funny, but I get what he is saying lol

Throw a long ball and have em’ fight it out. I would assume Big Gabi, but I would legit not be surprised if Jesus came out with the ball.

u/ArsenalThePhoenix avatar

are there even any other brazilians in the league right now than the four he mentioned + himself?

edit: forgot about richarlison and antony.

u/Paddy-23 avatar

Casemiro, Paqueta, Bruno G, João Pedro, Carlos Vinicius, Douglas Luiz, Diego Carlos, Danilo, Emerson, the other Emerson, Ederson, Alisson, and Neto.

Bruno G and Paqueta are really quality players; both were linked with us but they left to other teams. Rest I don't rate much, maybe Casemiro for his intelligence& defending.

u/WarDull8208 avatar

We never pushed for Bruno G or Paqueta.

I told linked not pushed. You can google both names and Arsenal and lot of news would pop up. Bruno was actually considered us before moving to Newcastle even our club was in his intro video and it caused some uproar., look up the news bro.

Bruno Guimaraes has already explained why he snubbed Arsenal amid ironic Champions League claim - football.london
Lucas Paqueta to Arsenal transfer: Agents arrive in London, West Ham bid, Edu's January plan - football.london
I can find few other sources but they are in other languages.

Cunha shooting ??

[deleted]
[deleted]

For real, Jesus’ physicality has been the biggest shock for me. He’s 5’9” and bullies 6’0”+ centrebacks.

Low center of gravity is real. He knows his body well and where he can leverage to help him against bigger opposition. Being stocky and strong helps. He’s like a bowling ball.

Itd have been funny if he had just answered “gabi” for all 4 questions but not specifying which.

What a gorgeous man! And I really like him as a player.

u/ArsenalThePhoenix avatar

he pronounced it "mar-shi-nelli"

I've always liked Thiago Silva. For me he's one of those with great leadership quality. And also one of world's best defender. It's sad that he plays for Chel💩. But nonetheless, I like him.

Physical - Gabriel Jesus is so real. He's smaller than most defenders but bodies them easily and consistently
