Everything is wrong to overpay someone wen we can potentially pay him good.

Jodera:
That's really wrong from arsenal sha.
Haba
Like you said 150-180k will be enough.

Kbs468:
indeed and in truth, his love for Arsenal is unquestionable to say the least

iamoyindamola:
No wonder they no gree with arsenal plenty English
For the sake of football I'm glad he didn't have the chance.
I just read domestic transfer is still on we should just go for behrama abeg for that AM position

iamoyindamola:
Simone is angry atletico Madrid allowed partey to go, he was planning on partnering him with torreira
This man na werey he wan block the midfield permanent, torreira will surely succeed

@spy360 and Blueraydick stop arguing over what there's no clear cut answer. One of the reasons Steven Gerrard was being hailed back then by Pele was his ability to play almost as deep as a defensive midfielder and up forward almost like a supporting striker. Sometimes he'd slide to the wings and deliver pull outs even David Beckham would marvel at. It's all about athleticism, skill, versatility etc.
The modern day football demands you be more than a one trick pony and the philosophy of your coach matters too. Technically Ozil is one of the best midfielders in the world right now but let him make it into Arteta's midfield let's see now.
Ask most modern coaches for their their list of top ten number 9s and Bobby Firminho will feature in virtually all. That one I'm still trying to understand though I get their point.

My brother call him ogiri gbamila
Because of his hold up play

iamoyindamola:
We have auba na
The only time I prayed for him was when we were cursed with giroud

iamoyindamola:
kane na pk specialist na

Spy360:
He should go for one full year medical treatment on his ankle. That was what Van Persie did to save his career.

iamoyindamola:
He's English
The media killed him, they were comparing him to xavi and iniesta at the same time.
The media are dangerous for young English players just look at greenwood and foden I hope and pray they don't ruin them

Kbs468:
Photoshop brother. he has been given the jersey number 8

Spy360:
Is Guendouzi Santi Cazorla or Thiago Alcantara? If you want magicians get one. If you can't afford them, manage the clone you have. Just as Arsenal cannot afford Aouar, so Ceballos will now kill himself?

Why I don't fault Guen's side passes is because that is his primary job. Yes he can give a forward pass now and then but that is the job of the AM. As a CM, if he keeps playing only forward passes or more often, he will be losing possession very frequently and fans will call for his head.

ndidibabe:
CMs are known to guide their lines and not attack. Stop this shithole argument...

Spy360:
Players can be deployed any where. But they have their primary positions.

Let's not argue this one. Fabregas is an AM. He even played as false nine for Barcelona. He plays just behind the lone striker. Same as KDB. Jorginho plays in deep midfield just in front of the defenders. It is even in these modern times that you will find CMs having major roles. Before, the goalkeeper will just punt the ball forward. But now they pass from the back, and when they do so they start with a side pass. If they use a forward pass it becomes more probable for the receiving player to lose the ball, but with a side pass it is easier to retain possession. Once again simple logic.

Spy360:
Fabregas and KDB are AMs. That's the problem of arguing with you.

Jorginho and Guendouzi are CMs hence their frequent side passes.

FYI,

I am not saying forward passes are not done by CMs, I repeat they mostly do side passes due to the tightness of the position they find themselves similar to why defenders mostly do back passes. Luiz as a defender does many back passes but only occasionally will he do long forward passes because of his ability.

It will take a rare skillful player like Cazorla (if he is positioned at CM) to transit forward to give those defense splitting passes.

Like I said before, side passes are USED to retain possession. This is simple logic please.

Spy360:
You use side way passes to retain possession. That's the primary job of CMs. Forward passes occasionally yes, but mostly side way passes due to the tightness of the position of the field they find usually find themselves. Forward passes or defense splitting passes are mainly for AMs.

If I am wrong prove me.

iamoyindamola:
Of course red will spoil show I don't know why we always force game.
Person pass for you instead to pass to another person you allow ball run over you till opponent reach your side.
Same thing he did against Tottenham last season

iamoyindamola:
How do you see kondogbia
You know these people are mad sha, dacoure could have added to the midfield and he's EPL proven yet we ran after partey only to settle for less or get nothing.
We are not ready at all

daveP:
If nothing enters, then its best if Willian plays the 10 o. And let Auba be more central than win. Seems Saka and Tierney hage better understanding than With Auba-Tierney. Its evident in the one sided attack we employ in games these days. And Mehn, are we stuck with Elneny? He barely makes a risky run to open up things, the backpass is an eyesore. The centre is empty.



Then we need to grad from this level of just being satisfied with getting 3points pls. See the rampage that happened yesternight? They all smell blood and boom, the goals starting coming. We smell blood to but decided on keeping possesion, when we should have been ruthless after 2-0 and make it 4, 5, 6-0.


They sensed our lack of wanting more, brought on a 10 and McGoldrick gets a sweet left footed goal. Smh.


Lets expand our GD whenever we see the chance. Forget, SHU weren't all closed up that we now decided on waiting for an opening. They were tired.

Igboid:
There is still Bacary Soumane.
Arsenal can't be stupid.

We lack steel in the middle and creativity upfront.
Get Soumare from Lille, get Benrahma from Brentford. Problem solved. Both are available and affordable.

iamoyindamola:
We move 2 steps forward and 6 steps backward
We trying to sell off deadwoods then we will add other teams own.
Na curse

iskoki:
Another player we have to settle for. No offense.



The banter alone sef. We already have Willian, if you bring Jorginho then what's next , Tammy Abraham ?

iskoki:
Hmm, I don't know about this one. It could have serious consequences on the team. Since Ozil stopped playing, have we been getting better results or not, why change a winning formula ? Bale was probably the most gifted player in Madrid last season but we know how that ended. Madrid won the league with games to spear with him on the bench.

As for transfer window, if nothing from Arteta's wishlist is gotten then I don't expect any real improvement from last season. May be just fewer losses an a place or two up the table. I'm beginning to suspect that they want to force that Jorginho rubbish down his throat with International transfer window closing today.
