Nah he’s pretty shit. Often looks out of his depth against crappy championship teams.
Haha Charlie patino, one of my flatmates used to play futsal with him in watford
I doubt that the once £10,000 eleven year old that consistently playing above his level and has since 15 played at one of the top three levels at Arsenal had much time nor freedom to go for futsal sessions with his acquaintances.
I used to play div 2 futsal in Melbourne. and ex Aussie players would sometimes have current Aussie/a league players filling for them up in div 1 (out of season). I have also been at fairly high level cricket games with professional AFL/soccer/basketballers playing. I even played cricket against Jamie Elliot (afl grand final winner) two weeks after his draft selection.
Can we stop trying to wish this guy into the first team for next season, please? It simply won’t happen. The gulf in quality between playing in the Championship for Swansea and playing for one of the world’s best teams is immense.
How about Brazillian 4th Division and Arsenal? 😀
You’ll never know. Players breakout from lower leagues. Martinelli came from Brazilian series B. Coquelin was playing for Charlton in the Championship before recalled.
Our standards are higher now, but sometimes you just never know with players. Sometimes things just click. It’s not an insane proposition to keep him around the first team as a backup or rotational option to acclimate him into the team and assess how he does.
I still believe in him
Anyone that knows ball believes in him.
We have 3 30yo CMs on our roster. He’ll get his chance next season.
Not so sure about that, I think he’ll be off in the summer. Either on a free transfer or he’ll extend again and go on another loan but he won’t play for us next season.
I don’t know; he might be better than havertz in his current role
We could sure use a PL caliber CM that costs us nothing but I’m pessimistic on it being Patino. Would love to be proven wrong.
He is in a tough spot, he is a playmaker like Odegaard and so he will likely replace him in cup matches or in case of injury in competition with Veira. He could play as no 8 but I think Arteta prefers a more physical and defensively capable player there.
Yeah his biggest issue is physicality and how slow he is. Honestly don’t think he’s an arteta player, but I would love to be wrong
Still slow roasting
Too slow and weak Anyone who wanna tackle this, I guarantee that you never watched his game.
A midfield role in this Arsenal side is easily the hardest to adapt to. When we were fighting for top 4 (honestly top 8) there was lots of room for youth players to make their mark. Not so much anymore.
Yeah thats the good thing of being shit and the bad thing of being good
He’s not good enough for the prem.
At this stage in Charlie’s development, it seems like so much of his performance relies on those around him. His real strength is in link up/interplay and a lot of his teammates haven’t been on a similar technical level. Swansea has been a breathe of fresh air compared to Blackpool in that regard, but I still want to see him in a more technical side.
Recovery speed is the only real concern I have. He doesn’t shy away from the physical side of the game and is almost a bit too eager to fly in on the tackle.
He’s going to need a lot of game.time to properly develop. He doesn’t get that at the club, unfortunately, but that doesn’t mean he won’t find high level success
Just give him a chance in preseason and if he isn’t ready sell him with a nice buy back clause
Looks like he needs to extend, go on the bayern diet and continue playing 1st team minutes.
If his level is Championship, so be it.
20 is a good age to start to bulk up. He could do with sprint training too.
I want him to come good and am willing to wait untill he is 23/23 to decide if he is AFC quality , unless he can do it before.
Let’s hope so, that would be very good news
