what happened to Mertersacker? I believe he was the former captain.

Mikel Arteta was the former captain. Per was his vice.

kokaneprodigy:

Arsenal plays with two DMs how Wenger will select his starting two DMs will be a headache, considering the fact that we have six players for that role viz Wilshere, Carzola, Ramsey, Coquelin, Elneny and now Xhaka.
Which two of these six will start? Your thoughts??

Wenger will most likely start his favorites
Ramsey to the wings carzola and ozil in the middle with xhaka at their back..

One thing most Arsenal fans don't like admitting his carzola's best position is the ozil role, he gaurantess goals,creating of chances and assists
Ozil creates chances and assist but less goals.
I wouldn't mind if the two are rotated

Carzola can start attack but can he defend?

And guys how about us bidding for lukaku?


Lakaku is just getting to become a man in
a far as football is concern while OG is
beginning to grow grey hairs (he is
pushing 30s). if we are comparing them
now, Lukaku made 37 appearances to
Girouds 38. Lukaku scored 18 times with 6
assists and Giroud 16 times with 6
assists. Lukaku made 57 chances Giroud
36. Arsenal had over 100 chances more
over Everton, Lukaku had a short accuracy
of 56% and Giroud 54%….

How about Alvaro Morata for £38m. Worth it?

Cc Pataki, Proudlysport, Roland17, Edi287, Kokaneprodigy, sod09

Football these days cannot be wholly evaluated based on the price tag of a player.

Is Morata a Wenger-esque type of player? I believe so. Is he worth the amount projected? Nope, I personally don't think he is.

What do you guys think of this guy? I think he is the perfect CB we are looking for.

Morata is a considerable upgrade from Giroud, he is also young with a lot of upsides and experience, however, just like Pataki, i don't think he is worth 38M.

Madrid keeping him would depend on what happens with Benzema, Morata has not exactly been prolific in front of goal in his two seasons with Juventus, he has been unable to displace Dybala who arrived Juve from Palermo last season.

A striker in the frame of Dybala would be my preference, i am not inferring we pursue Dybala as that would be a waste of time, Morata is not exactly a Suarez, Aguero, Aubameyang, Higuain, Lewandowski, or even a saido Mane (yes, i said it) , however, he is way better than what we have for that position.

If the price is right i think we should get him.

Arsene wenger - 18 years one CL final
Zenadine Zidane - 3 months

Ozil bests Cazorla on the playmaker role, stats are very clear. Ozil's scoring form has also improved.

Lukaku will be very expensive being homegrown. If he is better than Giroud it would be by a small margin. Get us Higuain.

Morata has a better foot work than Giroud and Auba, he comes accross as a younger version of Higuain. He has not been prolific recently but he has that instinct as was seen during the European u23 champs in Israel a couple of years back (together with Thiago Alcantara). Based on his potentials, and the over inflated prices players come now, I think he worths it.

Never thought we'd be in for him.

Definitely...when you consider manure got Martial for 36m. He has a great goal per minute ratio and will only get better. He's superb on the counter and would bring fluidity to our Frontline.

I don't get this ur arrangement, considering the fact we play 4-2-3-1 formation. Ur set-up is more like a 4-1-4-1

No one can bench Ozil as long as he's fit and his best position is 10, Carzola will do well behind him playing as a box to box midfielder.

Meanwhile Morata is okay with his qualities coupled with the chances our system creates he'll do fine.

I meant Wenger will want to fix Ramsey in all cost by switching him to the right wing, ozil takes 10, while carzola and xhaka play the box to box and Dm role respectively

Hmmmn!

All of a sudden, people are pairing Saka with Cazorla. What happen to Coquelin?? I thought he was the best DM in d league..... El Neny nko?? That one that was also rumoured to be 10 times better than Herrera....

Let's assume someone actually made that statement, was Xhaka bought from an EPL club? Are you saying that one can't get a DM better than the best in EPL.

It's arguable that Aguero is the best CF in the league, if man city decides to get Suarez from Spain won't he bench Aguero?
He said best in the league, not best in the world, you lack comprehensive skills.
I understand your excitement you just signed a new manager and typical of you to get delirious during transfer window. By the end of week-2 of the season your wailings will resume.

Yes am an Ibadan boy. But u dont know me, i dont know u. But somehow, this môron seems to think my life revolves around Challenge and Ib?? Lool. See ehn, i might ve never been across the borders of this country. But where i've been to, and what i've done, ur pathetic excuse of lineage cant even begin to dream of it.

Lool. Even if i ever get schooled in this NL is it an old, daft, retâderd and primitive imbecîle with an IQ that cant even flash MTN to MTN dat wants to school me??

I'm not the jobless type who has time to be running multiple accounts. So u can go fetch ur mods like the good little dog u are and ban me. Just know dat when ever the ban is lifted, i'll be back here to shît all over ur sorry existence.

Wenger has changed!

When I look at Xhaka for £30m before season is over?... Shock!

There's competition coming up next season with, Klopp, Pep,MOU, having ability to attract players hence Wenger won't want transfers dragging till they get over priced and snatched from him. Plus the not wanting to lose to MOU factor.
Secondly he has no excuse of lack of funds,
Thirdly he would want to finish high considering next season might be his last season.
