Kenan Yıldız

Actually, you'll probably go, but [laughs]-

Well, I mean, Yildiz, Sean Rea, same profile, you know.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[laughs]

Well, Juve, I mean, yeah, a lot of injuries.

Even Lo- yeah, like you said, Locatelli out three to four months, Toureham's already out, and, uh-

... list is long.

They missed their best players, guys.

They missed Yildiz, Thuram, McKennie, Cambiasso and Decatur.

Milan also come into this match on two wins, coming off a 2-0 victory against Venezia.

Missing Gabia with Pulisic apparently still not 100%.

Where do you think that ranks front lines in Syria?

Let's see who we're comparing it to.

You have the likes of Juve with Colomwani, Yildiz, Conceição and that three, to be

honest.

I think there is a player there, but I don't know if he's the guy who's going to be this talisman up front that's going to get you 20-odd goals a season.

Now, we've talked about the market and it's... very competitive and there's not a lot of options out there right but I think they've just gone for the wrong profile of striker I don't see this big big lump sounds horrible but a big target man up top I don't really see that working with Juve and with the players they've got I think it just all feels very very confused and a little bit like they are counting the seconds for Kenan Yildiz to get back for them to be like right okay just give it him um I hope Al Ibegovic gets chances because obviously a young player, super exciting.

I think he will be getting chances now he's injured, but I hope they give him the patience and allow him the time to develop.

But I think it's two teams here that don't know what their best teams are yet.

I often talk to my sister about that.

I say, what does he do? Anyway, he's catching the train back from Ballarat to Melbourne and the train comes to a stop because there is a man, a member of the Yildiz, sitting on the tracks in front of the train.

Right.

Oh, no.

So my expectation is even with Gabriel Martinelli joining Al-Hilal, that Arsenal will bide their time and be quite patient, because all the players they like are probably more summer targets than the winter market.

And by that, I mean Kenan Yildiz signed a new Juventus deal.

Earliest he'll be available, summer 2027.

Julián Álvarez, similar saga to last summer.

I'm intrigued to see what would happen if he does play as a non-traditional number nine with a guy like Nico Gonzalez or even Koopminers, if Koopminers is going to keep on playing like this.

Or when Yildiz gets back, some combination of Yildiz and Alibegovic.

I'm intrigued by what might happen there and if that can cause a lot of chaos with the defense.

But overall, it was 15 minutes.

And when Kolamwani was around, We played narrow, super narrow.

You played with Yildiz, Chico as two advanced midfielders.

You played with them as cams.

They were central.

If you're essentially trying to play a target man game with a guy that's not a target man, and you're leaving these other guys way too far away, there's no interplay, there's no connection.

You have to narrow it up.

That's what got the best out of Keenan Yildiz as well.

And you've got, you're essentially playing with not your typical prototypical striker.
