Video: Arsenal Target Mputu Loves Kicking Balls

Add comment November 14th, 2007

It’s a breathtakingly literal headline, and one for a video that is also painfully to the point:

Ouch. Perhaps it’s worth signing him just to bring him on against Blackburn and watch him do that to Robbie Savage.

Spurs fan Dave Kitson has committed “blasphemy” and fallen in love with Arsenal:

“It is unbelievably difficult playing against them and, to be honest, there wasn’t a lot we could have done. They are without doubt the best footballing team on the planet right now. It’s absolutely phenomenal stuff. Trying to get near (Cesc) Fábregas, (Aleksandr) Hleb, (Tomas) Rosicky, it’s a tough ask. The thing that amazes you most is they are not just passing to each other. They are passing so that the next person can run on to the ball and, by then, his mind is already made up with what he is going to do next. It is unbelievable.”

He’s just saying what most Spurs fans are afraid to admit. Kitson reserves special love for Emmanuel Adebayor and Cesc Fabregas:

“Emmanuel Adebayor plays up front on his own and he is almost like two strikers up there. When Barcelona came in for Henry, Wenger must have seen the fee, looked at Adebayor and thought it was Christmas. He had a player waiting there for his chance and the unbelievable thing is that he probably wouldn’t even have to spend the money.

Just looking at Adebayor as a technician and as a football player, that is what every striker should aspire to. He is very right footed but, when you are that good, you don’t need your left foot. He is 6ft 5in and you look at him and think: ‘How is he doing this?’ For his goal, the ball came at him at 100mph and he just cushioned it into the far corner.

Then there’s Fabregas. It is not even fair that a kid that young can have so much talent. He is world-class already: definitely among the top five players in the league, definitely one of the top players in the world. It’s frightening. Wenger must be licking his lips because there is just silverware here on in for Arsenal.”

Nice to read.

Finally, David Beckham could be practising his passing with Cesc & Co during the winter. The way we’re playing at the moment, he’ll struggle to keep up.
