You suddenly forgot Chelsea lost Hazard and we couldn't sign replacement because of transfer ban yet lampard made it to top 4 with academy players.

U are talking out of point . Go and read that post again; somebody claimed at some point Lampard was better than Arteta . My question is WHEN ?

forgiveness:
Well, Lampard did well in the championship before he was considered. Remember, it was Lampard that used Mount on loan from Chelsea and made him a regular player in Chelsea due to ban.

Kompany did not only do well in the Championship, but won it. Guess what he did in the EPL? yes u guessed right, he has successfully relegated the same team.

Anybody can be the Pep Guardiola of the Championship, it is what u do managing a team in the EPL that people will use to judge u.

BlueAngel444:
lol it's funny how people now praise Arsenal and Arteta some seasons ago he was trash he couldn't even be compared to Lampard but what Arteta received Lampard didn't, time and listening hears of the board and resources.

Well Arsenal were never a firing club per say. But I don't Bayern considered kompany's past season but his previous seasons in lower divisions, after all Bayern have a great squad in a weak league that should be easy even for Xabi to work magic why not Kompany. Even at that it's a first, to see a big club hire a manager from a relegated team that couldn't even put up a fight. But this football experts see something or else it has got to be the Pep influence.

Una go just dey cap carelessly with full confidence.

When was Lampard ever a better manager than Arteta?

Lampard took over a team that Sarri had just used to trash Arsenal in the Europa league final in 2019; Guess what he did with that team? He used that team to lose against Arteta's team in FA cup final 2020. That was Arteta winning his first cup less than one year of taking over at Arsenal.

Lampard was never a better manager than Arteta at any point in time. Lampard was a great football player , but a shitty manager. Everyone at Chelsea knows this, those at Everton know this as well.

Jodera:
Lol... I remember always hoping for Diaby every year. My guy turned rookie to veteran right before our very eyes without playing much
Always like a new signing.

Honourable mention: Rosicky and Wilshere

Omo! The way I take like Diaby ehn..... It pained me how injuries ruined his career

germaphobe:
His main injury concern was the groin problem which have been taken care of, na to manage him properly. Hmm BRD(shey u no get problem with the initials for ya Monika?) It's really hard defending his injury issues but I just love the boy and wish him to stay. His injury shouldn't be much of a problem again

The bold is why I say wanting him to stay is sentimental emotional attachment.

If he stays an his injury woes continues, we will then be debating what could have been had if he had been stayed fit; Just like Diaby's case.

Everybody knows Diaby was a fine player, one of the top talents of his era but we all know how it ended.

germaphobe:
You see Viera and Smith, they both have a place in Arteta's plan if you ask me. They are versatile and tactical players. And I'm sure ESR injury concern won't be a problem next year like the previous years.

You are sure bawo ?😳
Even the coach and his medical team won’t be sure ESR won’t get injured again.

A player that has consistently gotten injured with various injuries ranging from Shoulder injury, groin injury , hamstring injury ,knee injury , ankle injury , etc over the last 5 years …. That’s the player u are vouching for that his injury concern will not be a problem next year ?

Baba , na so Diaby spend 10 years for Arsenal and didn’t play up to 200 games o.

CrystalTiger:
The insensitivity in the video is just crazy..

We've normalized suffering bro, even when fuel will sell for 1k later, there'd be no agitation
Na who dey expect anything meaningful to come out of this administration I dey pity..

It’s crazy bro. It is crazy that a year ago fuel sold for less than 200 Naira a liter and today it is almost 700 Naira , yet we are still paying subsidy .

nihilistjnr:
It's believable

2 years ago, Israel took out this senior man....in Tehran the capital of Iran.

The joos dey commot all kinds of pieces from the board. Double and triple chop drafts moves like those old men under trees beside mechanic workshop.

Anybody who thinks it’s not possible has obviously not been paying attention well enough to the activities of Mossad in Removing Iranian pieces from the chessboard .

Perhaps we will blame agent Eli Copter for this one too 😂

It's a laughing matter to this one.. Confidently saying, it's all politics..And there are people seated down there laughing with him..

It's either Nigerians kill APC or APC will kill Nigerians..

This one na old news na. Instablog is just rehashing and milking the video for engagement . The video was earlier this year .

APC people no get conscience normally .


Yesterday I was just thinking that probably it is APC that fit Nigerians . Imagine how everybody just move on with increase in price of fuel, coke is N350, no bread costs less than 1k , etc . Everybody just do like say nothing spoil . If tomorrow they decide to sell a liter of fuel for 1k sef , e be like say Nigerians go just accept am like that since it is APC that is behind the hardship .

Theflint1:
It's not as much about falling in line as it is about Obaseki poking...the previous Oba and the current one generally don't interfere with politics, so Obaseki could have handled whatever little issues there were better.

I don't think Obaseki has enough clout in the state to swing elections the way of his candidate wildly, say even a quarter how a Wike would have done if Wike were in his shoes...the only saving grace for Asue Ighodalo is that he still seems the most ready for the job, and the people trying to politicize the rift are in the camp of the APC guy who as an individual is quite unsellable...if they were backing the LP guy, it'd have been game over a long time ago.

Well, I don’t know the history of their beef/rift sha; but I’m speaking to the fact that there’s so much powers in the hands of a governor under this democratic dispensation. If a governor doesn’t like the way u breath , he can go as far as deposing u.


Till today nobody knows what exactly Sanusi did wrong that made Ganduje depose him.

As regards whether Obaseki has what it takes to swing election in his candidate’s favor , well what I’ve learnt in naija politics is that a desperate outgoing governor can go to any length to install a stooge in his place . We saw Yahaya Bello do it recently with Ododo in Kogi state .

Vischy:
🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Sead Kolašinac signed for Arsenal in 2017, making 80 Premier League appearances over five seasons. He never won a European trophy with the Gunners, losing to Chelsea in the 2019 Europa League final. At 30 years old, he's finally lifted his first-ever European trophy with Atalanta ✅🏆🤩

The same Kolasinac that was pursued by Schalke 04 fans after himself and Mustafi successfully relegated the club after leaving Arsenal ? 😂

Anybody can win a cup by being a member of a winning team . The koko is , what was his contribution to that team ?

Theflint1:
Lol, I don't know how Obaseki managed to fumble his relationship with the palace so badly, it's difficult to see how all of this won't rub off on AI...sadly the only other formidable candidates are the APC guy who can barely string two sentences together, and Olumide Akpata of LP...probably one of the most wide-eyed and desperate candidates in recent history. At this point it's anybody but the APC guy though, the man sounds too dull.

So far the constitution vests so much executive power in the hands of State governors , they (governors ) will always 4ck up any traditional ruler that refuses to fall in line no matter how revered such traditional ruler is among the people . It doesn’t matter whether the traditional ruler stool has been existing since year 100 BC ; a governor will always mess them up due to political differences .

The fact that governors pay salaries of traditional rulers compels them to be subservient to the governors while their tenure lasts .

If Obaseki finds a way to rig the election in favor of his anointed candidate , it won’t matter whether Oba of Benin is displeased with him or not. Nigerian elections don’t really reflect the will of the people , so I won’t hold my breath that Onaseki won’t still have his way. If Segedinho’s account of the 2023 general elections in Edo state is anything to go by; then it’s possible Obaseki might still use the hungry youth to work things in his favor and his preferred candidate .

CrystalTiger:
The kind of lies we'll hear tomorrow, lol

No wonder Keyamo and Pantami Dey fight ontop airport WI-FI. 😂

Just wait and see how Keyamo will start boasting about irrelevant stuff like Emirates coming back to Nigeria solely his doing . I’m sure he will add the airport WI-FI matter to his achievement as well and grounding of Dana airlines cos of the runway incident .

raumdeuter:
What is the guys name. I want to search if any other media outlet is carrying the news

His name is Hussein Rahimi

Provide evidence that Iran bombed Israeli embassy in Argentina.

Provide evidence that Israel bombed Iran's embassy in Syria

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
The host country cannot attack the embassy but you think a 3rd party state can attack the building.... Lmao. Legally Iran and Israel is not even at war. Abeg I'm done with this low and bigoted argument.

Was Iran at war with Israel when Iran bombed Israeli embassy in Argentina in 1992?

Ballzproblem2:
make una stop to scapegoat boehly he's not the one in charge,his tenure never start .

Is Abramovic still in charge?

Ballzproblem2:
Pochettino’s successor will have to accept the authority of the board and sporting directors, with a control that could even stretch into elements of on-pitch coaching. (@NickPurewal @EveningStandard) #CFC


this is not a not project,na to port go Madrid

Chelsea should kukuma appoint Bohely as the new first team manager; He's not even shebi he's just 50 years old . Since they are looking for a young coach who will listen to the board and allow the even control on-pitch coaching

raumdeuter:
Iran attacked Israeli embassy in Argentina in 1992

Can u imagine?

I didn't even know Iran had set the precedent a long time ago. See Okpa now making it seem like Israel was doing the abominable when they were only repaying a debt owed

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
But Israel that attacked Iranian consulate in Damascus, Syria? What was that? That is an act of war. You don't attack diplomatic building. E get why countries dey recall their ambassador if relation go South. Iran deserves the legitimate right to respond in the manner they deem fit.

Lmao.


For starters Israel bombed the building to pieces because Palestinian terrorists operating in Gaza were meeting Iranian IRGC commanders in the building .

As regards ur claim about diplomatic buildings being protected by international law, well legal experts have argued that the law only guarantees that the host country ( Syria ) cannot attack the embassy building of whom they are playing to ( Iran) . The law is silent on whether a third party state like Israel is prohibited from attacking Iran’s embassy in far away Syria .

I really don't know why u think Israel will open their mouth and allow terrorist countries like Iran fund and support terrorists to overrun Israel.

Spy360:
Vieira has the same fitness issues you complained about ESR. The bolded is exactly where I am with ESR. So you cannot refute my opinion because it's now sounding like yours. And if I am to choose I'll choose ESR ahead of Vieira without blinking.

That said, Arteta will not likely sign more than three players this window considering that we have many coming back from loan and will be targeting mostly marquee signings. Now with Elneny and Cedric certain to leave, and probably Nketiah and Nelson, I don't think either of ESR or Vieira will leave too.

I hope u are not about to start one of ur merry-go-round arguments with me on this ESR matter cos me I no too get time for those kind arguments .

Yesterday I shared a screenshot of ESR’s injury history at Arsenal here . In 3 straight season he messed 30 or more games due to injury . In the last season he missed 21 games and in this recently concluded season he missed 10 games due to injury .


I have now attached Viera’s injury history to this post for comparison . Now tell me how ESR and Viera’s injury history are similar ?

All I’ve said is ; let Viera be given a chance to prove this season’s injury is a one-off thing . Let him be given a chance next season to deputize Odegaard in that role. As for ESR, his 5 years at Arsenal already confirmed he’s too injury prone to be depended on by an elite team like Arsenal .

Simple !

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Not true. Don't gaslight me here. We became Muslims, terrorist sympathizers and extremist cox we dey support Iran, Palestine and murderous Putards

U supported Iran firing rockets into Israeli airspace and u were rightly called a terrorist sympathizer. Is iran firing rockets into Israeli airspace not a terrorist act?

A country whose president keeps saying It aims at erasing Israel out of the face of the earth and it is actually acting through to its word. Wetin pass terrorism more than that? If u sympathize with such country and they call u terrorist sympathizer, what is the harm in that ?

Spy360:
There are more than enough garbage in the team to throw out. Why ESR?

ESR is not worse than Nelson, Vieira, or Nketiah and certainly not Elneny or Cedric. His major problem is fitness and not lack of talent.

And just as we saw Havertz become what he is, I am pretty confident ESR can become our own KDB under one season with Arteta, he only needs to stay fit.

We can sell him now for another top midfielder I have no problem with that. But if we can, let's keep him. That is my opinion.

The bold is what I am advocating. However, if we miraculously stumble on a young academy graduate in the mould of Man Utd's Mainoo, I won't still mind selling him.

As regards ur first paragraph, If u check my initial post jodera quoted I listed Nelson and Smith-Rowe as players I want sold. Smith-Rowe only became a talking point when Jodera inquired the reason why I listed Smith-Rowe. As for Elneny and Cedric, I don't even see them as arsenal players cos I know they are certainly leaving. I also have a feeling Nketiah will seek for permission to leave the club because he obviously can't be guaranteed regular starting role considering we will be buying a new striker .

I am willing to give Viera a chance to play in that Odegaard's role this coming season. So I think he should definitely stay

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
No na... Shey people wey dey support Palestine na extremist and terrorist sympathizers❓❓

Point of correction.

People who believe Israel does not have a right to conduct military action against Hamas following the October 7th 2023 terror attacks against Israel are terrorist sympathizers.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
cc:
OasiX..


The Israeli supporters here will now add 🇮🇪Ireland, Spain🇪🇸 & Norway🇳🇴 to their terrorist sympathizer list. They are now extremist loving countries.

Okpa o .

143 of 193 member countries of the United Nations have long recognized Palestine as a sovereign state. Did anybody call those 143 nations terrorist loving countries?

So What exactly is the fuss about this news ?

Exactly...you have said it all. This is a stage where we need to be ruthless. We should let him go so another player can take his spot. Morgan Gibbs-White is who the media says we are after. If we let go of ESR for him, I won't even complain.

U get!

It is quality replacement that matters to me, not some unnecessary sentimental attachment to certain players.

Xhaka left Arsenal and we got a quality & worthy replacement in Rice; that's the kind of stuff I want to see. Not keeping an injury prone talented player with the fear that he may turn out to be Serge Gnabry or Kevin Debruyne in the future.

mostob:
ESR is not anywhere near KDB please. Were you not the one who said we need another dynamic midfielder like KDB? Arteta would have used ESR in that role but we all know why. BTW, his talent is not the issue here, his unavailability due to injuries is why we should move him on.

The way spy always make blasphemous claims when he defends players he loves needs to be studied .

There’s high chance of Smith-Rowe turning out to be the white man’s Abou Diaby than him being Debruyne . Diaby spent 10 whopping years at Arsenal and didn’t play up to 200 games for us director injury . Just take a look at Smith-Rowe’s injury records in 5 years at Arsenal and u can tell he’s on the way to replicate Diaby’s injury records .

We shouldn’t keep such player because of sentiments about his potential talent. Let’s sell him to maybe Dutch league or German league and move on. Na academy product him be, we will be making good money for whatever amount we sell him.

Debruyne was not Chelsea’s homegrown player, so it is understandable that they feel hurt for selling a player they bought and turned out to become a superstar after he was sold . I won’t feel any remorse or regret if Smith-Rowe is sold tomorrow and then he becomes a Dutch league sensation next year .
