Soumare is such an odd player, he has all the attributes to be a top, top player and every now and then really shows what he is capable of, then he plays a game where he just doesn’t look interested.

 

Much more suited to the pace of continental football. Hopefully he gets some more game time so that Sevilla, or another team, take him off our hands

If you can't pass or move, and have the concentration span of a goldfish I daresay you don't have 'all the attributes to be a top, top player' but each to their own.

you can be pedantic because the guy didn’t apply himself properly for us… but what the OP was saying is 100% right. He does have all the tools, he just doesn’t use them enough.  Maybe that was something rodgers just couldn’t get out of him. 

 

I mean, this video of the wolves game shows him literally showing he does have all the attributes imo

Surely him not using them enough means he doesn't have all the tools?

There's plenty of young players that have all the skills but they just aren't able to use them consistently and end up out of the game.

exactly. Typically when someone in football says someone has all the tools, that means the physical ability to do things. 

 

It’s commonly used to describe someone who mentally isn’t applying themselves to take advantage of the talent… which is what @Aus Fox was alluding to.

But he can also...barely run?

Sounds like bouba was impressive again 

We know he had it in his locker (e.g. the standout performances vs Wolves, away at Spartak, Liverpool in the league cup, Man Utd at home etc.), but mentally he wasn't strong enough and would check out too often. 

 

Hopefully he gets that consistency.

ARSENAL

Ian Wright showers praise on Leicester City midfielder Boubakary Soumare for his performance for Sevilla against Arsenalby Ben Moore25 October 2023

Arsenal secured a 2-1 win against Sevilla in their Champions League group game last night, but Gunners legend Ian Wright was full of praise for French midfielder Boubakary Soumare after the game.

The Leicester City star is currently on loan at the La Liga club for the season after leaving the Foxes temporarily following their relegation to the Championship, and he proved why he deserves to be playing at this level against the North Londoners, limiting the influence of their captain Martin Odegaard.

Wright was impressed with Soumare’s performance, singling him out for accolades on Wrighty’s House podcast.

“It wasn’t a great game for our captain, thinking that he was going to get a space in that midfield to maybe get on a turn,” the Arsenal legend said.

“The way we played… their midfield. I’ve to say Boubakary Soumare, on loan from Leicester.

“I thought he was so good. he really stifled out Martin Odegaard. I thought he was really good. He looked like a different player in the way he was playing.”

 

 

The 24-year-old joined Leicester from Lille in July 2021 but Arsenal were keen on signing him in 2020.

The Gunners were linked with him during the January transfer window of that year and in the summer as manager Mikel Arteta saw him as an alternative to Thomas Partey.

However, the move did not materialise, with only Gabriel Magalhaes arriving from the Ligue 1 club that summer.

Arsenal snapped up Partey from Atletico Madrid instead, and while they have no regrets about signing the 30-year-old, Soumare’s display last night might have had Arteta wishing he snapped him up.

The Frenchman could still return to the Premier League if Leicester secures an instant return to the top-flight or if another English club decides to sign him.

Sevilla could also opt to retain his services permanently, and he will certainly not be short of options at the end of the season if he keeps performing like he did last night.

Arsenal have since reinforced their midfield with the addition of Declan Rice, but Soumare showed them what he is capable of, and Wright loved what he saw from the former Lille star.

Bologna won't pay up, and if Viktor keeps this up and wants to fight for a place in the squad next season I'll happily take him back. Still think he has a lot to offer and a good attitude. People might complain that he jumped ship, but he took an opportunity to develop his game in the first 11 of a top flight team, instead of be a backup in the Championship. That's the action of a hungry young player that could benefit the squad.

I doubt Viktor is going to be coming back, doing well enough to not come back.

 

Combined with being limited on the ball, he's not a player who fits EnzoBall.

I think we need a whole new defence if we go up. None of them suit Enzoball in the Prem. 

 

Coady and Souttar have already been questioned on their ability on the ball, Vestergaard lacks pace so badly. James Justin cannot pass reliably enough either, it leaves Faes and Ricardo. The latter who's injury issues playing a conventional full back role render that obsolete now, so whether he can do the inverted full back role well enough in the Prem will be the question.

 

Faes in my opinion is a squad player in the Prem.

 

Maybe the above is all 2nd season Prem problems as opposed to fixing it all straight the way, but we'd definitely need a lot of additions to stay up.
