You are not getting it, we wasted so much time on a player we didnt eventually buy
What ever that happen in the negotiation room is not our concern, you guys are saying 95m for a bench player but edu kept going back no one force him
He should have close off the deal and look for alternative, to even think the difference between our offer and chelsea is 5m
He shouldn't have wasted so much time like that if he was really serious on the deal

You are the one not getting it. When u go to negotiation table, u only put ur cards on the table; you don't decide what decision the other party will take.

You don't have any information that suggests Edu did not try his best to get the player; yet u are accusing him of wasting time.

No one is giving any emotion
Our point is straight forward if they wan buy they should buy
If they no go buy they should not waste our time
That is the same thing they did last season that our season crumble
I know we have achieve this season goal for UCL but if we can win the league why shouldn't we try by adding depth

U don’t have an idea of what happened at the negotiation table . I have stopped trying to blame the club/management for things we don’t have full information about since the All or nothing documentary which revealed a lot of things that go on in the background which were ordinarily are oblivious of .

That was how majority of the fans blamed Arteta for Aubameyang’s departure . Some said it was his ego that got in the way. We know better today .

Please don't ever refer to Inibehe Effiong as an upcoming activist. Dude might just be 34 years old but he's fought state governments and government ministries to a standstill several times and won. Won high-profile cases and he's been Sowore's party, AAC, head of legal since 2019.

Larride, do message Inibehe Effiong on Facebook and detail your travails to him. If he doesn't respond quickly (he tries his best to respond but he's very popular and gets lots of those), message his partner at his chambers, Augustine Asuquo who's more reserved.

Inibehe is a protégé of Chief Falana and works with him on very high-profile cases. I used
to have his number but I suppose I misplaced it and it'd have been easier that way.

Sorry about your travails.

I guess u took my word literally . I know who Inibehen is and I didn’t call him upcoming to denigrate him like u are assuming . If u noticed I mentioned him and Falana in the same sentence .

Our 1st 11 transfer fees (in pounds)

Ramsdale - 30m

Saliba - 27m
Gabriel - 25m
Zinchenko - 35m
White - 50m

Partey - 45m
Xhaka - 35m
Odegaard - 30m

Saka - 0m
Martinelli - 6m
Jesus/Nketiah - 45m


Total... £328m


All these players (bar Xhaka) were all recruited by Edu and Arteta.

Kudos should be wholly credited to Edu(and the recruitment team) for really a job well done especially in this hyperinflated market.

Kudos also to Arteta for Making a monsters out of all these players.

I think we're one of the cheapest first 11 in EPL

Na why I no undertand why people dey get emotional with the Mudryk saga and some on social media are even going to the extent of abusing Edu. Like people just want to complain unnecessarily.

Edu and the management over the past few years have shown they know what they want and those they’ve been successful to recruit have not really disappointed like that bar Pepe.

For a player that will not walk straight into our starting 11 , I believe the amount being quoted for Mudryk on the high side and I’m not really bothered we didn’t get him. The only thing I’m concerned is whether we have plan B and C for him /another addition upfront to bloster our attack.

Lastly kudos to Arteta and the rest of the coaching crew for what they are doing with these boys . I wonder if we had gotten Bruno Gumeres that a lot of people were clamoring for that time, Will he be siting on the bench now or benching one of our current midfielders ?

Theres a difference between cheap labor and refusing to pay your workers your agreed wages. It is this mindset that you have and people like you that allow these Lebanese, Chinese and the likes to take advantage of our people.

The country is currently on cheap labor anyways but we need laws to at least protect employees from employers that still want to take advantage of their workforce because theres no solid labor laws to use against them.

Look at most state govt that are owing several months of salaries, most of them are not even paying the minimum wage yet are still owing several months of salary.

Please what do you call that?

I’m surprised he’s saying for Nigeria to become industrially competitive, labour will still have to be exploited far more than they are experiencing presently. Imagine!

People are not getting paid for job done and someone is suggesting things still need to get worse before we become industrially competitive . It’s actually head-scratching . Is it until people start dropping dead for being unable to afford food , medical bills , etc ?

I saw on ticktok in which the content creator did a voice-over on that Odegaard goal . The guy in a very funny Igbo accent said Arsenal is playing "Eau De Perfume" socce....Soccer wey dey smell good .

I agree with him 100%, the fluidity of our game is unbelieveable, Zinchenko showed why I always rate him ahead of Tierney, How Partey just dey move like Rolls Royce, Xhaka doesn't spend ages on the ball before deciding to give a pass anymore, Odegaard is on another level entirely.
Saka wan kill Sesegnon . Gabriel was also at his best yesterday, arguably one of his best games in Arsenal shirt. Saliba is notb yet back to his pre-world cup level but he was also quite good yesterday.

Zinchencko na 10 wey dey disguise as LB . The way he was getting the ball and criss-crossing his way into midfield yesterday was a beauty to behold .

I will never understand why Pep sold Zinchencko and Jesus to us . I told my friend yesterday maybe he just wanted to help his loyalist in Arteta . Just like the Igbo apprenticeship system where bosses set aside a huge sum from their business to set up their apprentice for life.

The thing is even if Arteta gets sacked at Arsenal , he will always get job any day anytime cos what he’s done at Arsenal within the last one year is unbelievable !

mostob:
Richarlison wan cry

I no like Richarlison for anything and I’m glad he saw shege banza today

Zinchencko won all aerial duels he contested today and he’s just 5 ft 9in - Brilla Fm

Ramsdale, the MC Oluomo of London

Martin ODEGAAAAAARD ! Remember his name ; he’s our number 8 !

daveP:
Bellerin is a better attacking threat than White, but White seem the better defender.

Bellerin is useless as far as I’m concerned !

Odegaaaaaard!

2-0

Omo that goal would have easily been goal of the weekend

Abi goal of the season sef

Damn Partey!

Goal ball !

Nketiah supposed score there mehn !

Saka starts

larride:
That's the plan.

We just want to give them the chance to do the reasonable thing before we drag them through the mud both on social media and through the court.

HR practically told us we should just manage and bear with them that it was the expansion and its infrastructural needs that's causing the salary delay. I havent heard tha kind of excuse before.

HR is the deparment in an organization I dislike most. They will just keep doing window dressing for the organization as long as possible. Na only the management know wetin dey cause the delay and I'm sure it's beyond expansion/infrastructural needs

larride:
I'm currently dealing with one case like this. The company I work for hasn't paid us since Nov.

Infact the company hasn't resumed this year because we have all refused to work and demanding our unpaid salaries. Infact most of us have our resignation letter in hand, we just want them to pay and we resign.

The annoying part is that they are expanding their branches while owing salaries of most of their workforce.

The plan is to initiate a class action suit by the end of the month our salaries are not paid by then. Already on the look out for other opportunities. However long the lawsuit might be, better to test our laws against these private employers than just resign to fate.

I will suggest u get a bigwig lawyer like dem Femi Falana or upcoming activists like Inibehen Effiong. They will probably not burden u with high retainers hip fees but expect to get something out of the Compenasation u will be awarded by the court.

Some of those companies are just plain evul and u will see their promoters spending millions over the weekend at parties and charity donations.

TradingGod:
comparing pepe deal with this one is very strange

Because we know arteta talent ID is top notch, for arteta to go all in for that player means he is no ordinary kid you see out there, kid got that it factor for real

Pepe was signed by the board eventho emery wanted zaha

Pepe workrate is not great compared to this guy

PEPE IS NOT ARTETA SIGNING.


Man city backed pep with €100miion for grealish, that is how you back your manager by going for their choice

The market is inflated already, acting as if it's not inflated is pure foolishness, even madrid bought rydrygo for a big fee even thos he was a teenager with litlle experience


So you see my friend, in life we take big risk when we see the bigger picture.

This is why chelsea have won 2 champions league trophy and our only achievement is a trophy we won since 2004....very shameful

Graelish was signed by citu for 100m and he's a flop as of today ( U can prove me wrong tho). Signing a player for a very humongous fee does not guarantee success hace my reference to Pepe not because I'm comparing Pepe as a player to Mudryk.

The earlier u realize Chelsea is not arsenal, the better for u. If a coach has recommended a player to the board and those involved in negotiations have done everything possible to sign the player while keeping the books balanced, I don't see any reason for giving the club the stick for a negotiation that is beyond their control. Clubs hijack other clubs negotiations and it's not new.

larride:
We need to strengthen our labor laws tbh. The way some companies are moving mad is unexplainable.

Once companies start getting class action suit, maybe just maybe we will have some sanity back. Ditto for State Govt that refused to pay their workers their due wages.

Employees should be able to initiate class action suit against the govt.

The Labour laws are not the problem, it's the slow judicial process. Check the link below :

https://www.nairaland.com/365622/justice-t-last-supreme-court

Sacked lecturers got justice after being sacked 10 years before the final judgement. 3 of the sacked workers even died in the course of the 10 year legal battle. That is why u will see people rather focus on getting new jobs after being sacked unjustly than pursuing justice in a law court.

TradingGod:
Lol, edu greed might ruin our league title chase


.not signing a €100m rated youngster when you know that the market is inflated is quite silly when you realise the position and condition we are in



This is our opportunity to get the title and the board are acting like a clown lol


We are martinelli or saka injury away from staring marqiunhos and smith Rowe lol ( and we are league leaders o)


A serious team like real madrid or psg will have gotten that mudryk deal done earlier but we have a board that can not take the risk to sign a great prospect.


Na this small club menatilty go make us lose saka and saliba very soon

U are angry at Edu? What happened to Nicolas Pepe that was signed for over 70 million?

Instead of u to hope we bring in quality signing irrespective of the price tag, u are being annoyed at Edu not signing a player in a transfer situation that is beyond his control. There's no Guarantee Mudryk or whatever he's called will perform to our expectation. What we should be focused on is getting an option B that should be worth his onions as fans

Ehn ehn. That flew over me. Nostradamus1, if that was that, no vex.

Donjazet2:
Wow! 2019 between atiku buhari who did you choose? I had gone for buhari, more against PDP than anything else. We were really forced between 2 bad choices weren't we?

I voted Sowore

Donjazet2:
Well done, you've somehow got me both angry and happy at the same time.
I will choose to ignore the first part of your post and rather cheer the last part of your post. Just asking, did you get the PVC this year?

I’ve been voting since 2011. I have my PVC before now .

iamoyindamola:
Maybe kokane think interfering is touching the ball
I won't be surprise if something like this happen to us today

That yesterday game just show the inconsistency of VAR. U saw the YouTube video I posted yesterday of Everton vs Man utd . They cancelled Everton’s goal because the Everton player was lying on the floor in offside postion where the ball passed before getting into the net. The player leg or body no touch ball o, na the position he dey on the floor injured make dem rule the goal disallowed .

That yesterday own worse because Rashford was right there over active sef .

Donjazet2:
Still clutching at straws blueray, of course you can believe what you see as my motivation but it won't change the fact of what he did for 15 whole years up until a year ago.

How funny how you had to pivot from your own initial motive. You woke up this morning to tell me to also add someone guilty of the same thing, except that the person had already acknowledged that what he did was wrong, rather than accept that you goofed by equating both situations, you pivoted to another thing all together. Your shame dey shame me.

Which one is "have dayo ever denied". As if that's an option, can he deny what we already see?
Your question should be "has dayo apologized or acknowledged that what he did was wrong"?

Who made u the moral police of nairaland ? I’m asking because the person who made u the moral police needs to be flogged mercilessly!

We all saw when u were suggesting Izzou as Okoro-Hausa. Have u apologized to him ? Have apologized to Ngige ? Have u apologized to all the Yoruba bastards in Nigeria and abroad ?

It’s hypocrisy on ur path to be requesting for apology from someone who is equally as guilty as u when U’ve not apologized for ur own tribal comments in the past.

We’ve seen through ur hypocrisy and won’t hesitate to rain on ur parade anytime u whip up the tribal sentiment angle .

By the way, I’m still voting Peter Obi as I intend to since the end of last year because I believe we need to cut cost of governance for dividends of democracy to reach more and more everyday people

kokaneprodigy:
I’ve also attached the rules
Read it again with an open mind

Just look at this pix and answer on a postcard if Rashford wasn’t interfering with play before Bruno got there to put the ball past the keeper .
