Azplicueta will become the only Chelsea legend to win every title for the club when we win the club world cup.



Captain dependable

Na the player wey Chelsea fans supposed dey hype be this, no be that Gbemidebe jorginho

50d33q:
Exactly his only fault is employing people like Arteta, edu cos they are incapable of changing things

Not just employing them , but keeping them on the job even when they give little or no result at all.

The day I stopped blaming Arteta was the day the CEO came out and said they were fully behind Arteta and will be trusting the process . Na that day I stop to dey criticize an unnecessarily. U have a very inexperienced coach that can’t seem to manage the resources at his disposal to optimum usage and then u come out to openly declare 100% support for him instead of looking at possibility of getting a better manager for ur resources .... to dey blame the manager no just make sense to me

50d33q:
You want to blame a business man that have it at the back of his head he's spent more than 230m and nothing to show for it.
You want to blame an individual that have zero knowledge about football, you also confirmed when Roland said Arteta went to meet him in America
If you were in his shoes will you still drop funds?

Do u know what u just did ?

Let me break it down to u. Dangote probably has the faintest idea about petroleum refining , neither did he study petrochemical engineering . He also doesn’t hold a masters degree in energy economics .

Today Dangote is building a refinery that he hopes to see working in the nearest future amassing a whole lot of capital gains.

Now think of his whole petroleum refinery adventure not working out after he has committed capital from his other businesses , other investors money and even venture capitalists . Who do u think will be blamed for his woes ? You think it’s the chemical engineering graduates he and his HR handpicked to manage the business ? Of course not , it’s Dangote the chairman , his board of directors who kept on ratifying decisions that affect day to day running of the business and maybe the management director who also reports to the board.

That is management at the top level .

If u still don’t get it , just look at Abrahmovic’s management of Chelsea and see how he’s been proactive making sure his investments yield whatever form of gain he desires at each point in time ( be it UCL , EPL, UEL, etc)

50d33q:
There you go

According to ur organogram , do u still think we should stop blaming Silent Stan and blame “management “ instead ?

I also hope u see where “the manager “ Stands in the management hierarchy ( for future references )

50d33q:
Bought for 230m
Sold for 0
We should stop blaming kronke he probably didn't trust the management with funds

Who and who do u think the word “management” refers to when talking about arsenal as a footballing entity ?

As e dey hot

ObaIgwe1:
Don't mind him jare. I was one of those who kept faith with him hoping he will bounce back, but he never did.... Instead of him him working hard on himself like the young Martinelli did and the likes of Ronaldo would do, he was rather indisciplined, went away longer than approved so he can get new tattoo and by that he missed a training session and mandatory covid19 test which made him unavailable for the next match. If I were Arteta too, I would be mad at him...And instead of being remorseful and apologize to Arteta, the club and fans, he didn't.

And BTW, this is not the first time he was being found out on indiscipline... he did similar last season but was forgiven. Auba was the captain and a leader with many younger players looking up to him... Anyone blaming Arteta for Auba woes instead of blaming Auba squally is not being fair to Arteta. Areteta has own problem and stubbornness, but in Auba case, I cannot fault him. I personally don't like indiscipline and disrespect.

Gbam!

Jodera:
I know I was among those clamouring for lacazette to start over Auba against Man u. But that as an aside, while your point is valid, but then For a player pointing finger at his manager for how it left might be taken with a pinch of salt. But if 3 or more are pointing finger at same manager, then maybe we really need to look at the manager.

I don't know the inside runnings of what transpired inside Emirates, but if Ozil, Saliba, and now Auba (I don't want to even talk chambers) all point fingers towards Arteta, then maybe it's really something we should be concerned about.

No u don’t get to do that , u don’t get to lump different individual cases as one just to disrepute the concerned party.

We may not get to know what exactly happened with Ozil and maybe Saliba , but the information is out there on Auba’s case .

The club management made a press statement on Auba’s case . They made it a point of duty to inform us on the reason why he’s been axed. It had nothing to do with Arteta’s ego or personality . What most people are doing blaming Arteta for Auba’s woes is like blaming the victim of rap.e instead of the perpetrator .

The club issued an official statement relieving him of captainship, his unavailability for selection based on this same indiscipline issue but fans who already have bias for Arteta feel Arteta certainly has to be the problem .

U sef reason am Na , Shey e make sense ?

Jodera:
Mehn, this bolded sha.

It says a lot!!!

Auba is just a sore loser . At the beginning of this season he was playing jack shiit , wasn’t scoring nor giving assists. I remember how most people here were insulting Arteta for continually playing him despite Auba firing blanks .... some queried why Auba could not be glued to the bench and Lacazette start ahead of him.

I remember me having to defend Auba’s continued inclusion in the team , Spy360 even corroborated my view by saying Auba is our best chance at scoring goals and some people here didn’t agree with his line of thought.

Now Auba is claiming that same manager had problem with him and that’s the reason he’s out of the club. Shey the manager didn’t have problem with him when he kept on starting him even when fans wished Lacazette was given a shot instead ?

Auba lost his place to indiscipline and that’s that. Any other coc.k and bull story/pity story he’s churning out at this point , I no dey interested .

Spy360:
In terms of quality, there is no plan B. A plan B means someone lesser in quality than you actually desire.

Arsenal did make enquiries for Isak, but I believe they must have decided to leave any deal till summer and keep Nketiah instead.

We also tried to get Tielemans, but again chose to leave it till summer.

I believe (I think Arteta should too, no excuses) that the squad is good enough to challenge for top 4 bearing in mind the current state of the league and our rivals.

Someone may say what if injuries or COVID happen, I'd say there's no excuse. Besides I have seen where such took out the whole Comoros team, and almost half of Tunisia in the AFCON and they both still did well.

All this one Na cap. Weghort was signed by burnley for less than 15millon. I mean that’s a 6 fit 6in striker who scored 20 league goals last season in the Bundesliga .

The question is where arsenal dey our eyes when such players are available ? Why arsenal like to dey pursue player that are either uninterested in us or those whose aspirations are too high for arsenal level?

Imagine us going for Weghort instead of chasing shadows with that Serbian guy I will never know how to spell his name correctly ? Why we dey close eyes to better things wey dey within our reach ?

Maybe there’s a positive in letting Auba go afterall , but it’s outright unreasonable not to try and get someone to fill the gap he’s leaving in our attack sha .

andrewbaba44:
Trophies are guaranteed bro

Barca no be sleeping club ,Madrid will be getting mbappe and Barca will be getting Haaland and some defensive signings soon

Do u know what the word guaranteed means ?

U even addded “ies “ to the back of the trophy ....leemao

Jencejyde:
True talk! Wish him nothing but the best and hopes he can sort out his disciplinary issues.

I believe he will cod he’s got no choice with Xavi at the helms of affairs there . I read about the rules Xavi has in place that are strictly to be adhered to at the camp Nou

Parizz:
am happy for him. he's moving to a club that guarantees trophy.

Nothing is guaranteed in post-MESSI Barca , trust me .... not even now that Madrid will be getting Mbappe and maybe more quality free transfers .

He had his failings as human , but thank you Aubameyang ! One of the few arsenal captains who actually lifted a trophy in modern times .

Wish him all the best going forward .

Eh God !

So what’s the essence of having a player under contract when he can leave for free and u won’t make anything off him ?

I say the management of this club is useless una dey park all una anger on top Arteta like say Na him be coach + technical director + CEO+ Aza man + silent Stan

andrewbaba44:
Oga make I hear word

If you Dey Ramsey shoe you go do the same ,juventus is a far better club than arsenal,he went there and won the seria A,since he left did you win the epl ?

Na still fa cup wey una Dey win him miss ,Ramsey gave his all at arsenal so stop insulting him as he went for a better salary at juventus

Which Ramsey gave his all to arsenal ? The same Ramsey Wenger gave so much playing time that we all got frustrated when he was busy playing rubbish ?

For ur information , Ramsey only had one and half exceptional season at arsenal out of the eleven years he spent at the club . Sometimes e good make una dey stick with una Barca and no dey chook mouth for team wey una no dey watch their match .

Wenger indulged Ramsey so much that we were all pissed at a time. Like Alex song he went for bigger salary and the only reason he’s not playing in Djibouti league now is cos he’s a Welshman with options like playing in Scotland and other European inferior leagues

Parrie:
Both Auba and Arteta are just too cocky.
Auba wasn't humble enough to apologise for missing a training session, instead he felt too big, and later went to misbehave at AFCON.
Arteta on the other hand is too proud to negotiate dialogue with his players(Saliba, Guendozi, and Auba).
If he couldn't sign a striker during january transfer window, why not sign atleast two midfielders and then re-integrate Auba into the team? Arteta is too proud, he should take a leaf from Tuchel and learn how to negotiate dialogue with his players.

Arteta is a young and inexperienced manager . Just like Lampard , his inexperience and inadequate human relations may be his undoing .

I remember Rudiger having issues with Lampard on my for him to blossom under Tuchel following Lampard’s sack. For Arteta’s sake I hope he finds a way to get things going ; tho I support him and the club dealing with Auba sha

Spy360:
It takes courage to keep a big guy like Auba out of the squad.

If the Barca doesn't go through, then he would be forced to take a pay cut and play with the U23s

This doesn’t make much sense business-wise, neither does it make sense football-wise .

If he can’t be sold this January they should read him the riot act and then reintegrate him into the team. If they could do it for Xhaka back then, nothing stops them for doing same to Auba

iamoyindamola:
Wtf
Omo if this is true then we are in it

That big salary don mess us up, and the yeye Gabonese will never accept pay cut

iamoyindamola:
So auba didn't miss or go late to Barca for medical
Stupid overgrown adult
Bushbaby

I just hope we got something reasonable from who’s sale sha . At least thank God he didn’t run out the rest of his contract on the bench eating free salary .

Awo lor

iamoyindamola:
ramsey to rangers
omo greediness tuined this guy career sha

He was foolish enough to believe he would displace their midfielders and walk straight into their starting line-up. Good for him

nihilistjnr:
Covid is a funny one. Me and 2 guys shared a blunt on a night out just before the 1st lockdown happened. Me and 1 of the guys developed symptoms within a couple days - it was like malaria, with nightly fevers, joint pain, etc coupled with the loss of taste and smell. I suffered for like a week but I made it. My other guy wasn't so lucky and sadly passed away. The 3rd guy never got it at all.

Fast forward almost 2 years later, my younger son is sent home from school because someone tested positive. We do a PCR for him and it comes back positive. We then bulk order lateral flow tests to test ourselves everyday because my wife works with the vulnerable.

My son would test positive everyday with zero symptoms. We all tested negative for the duration of his infection despite not isolating from him in any form. He's always with his older brother, either on PlayStation or watching TV and that one too didn't get it.

It's a real funny one. It's like the virus dey select.

One saturday evening I was watching I think Chelsea v Man city with my guy at a bar and he was telling me how his MD had been in the hospital sick. Few minutes later his phone rang and HR called that they are to assemble in the office the next day for Covid test. That was how my friend became worried cos he is close to the MD and has even visited the man in the hospital that week before it was confirmed he had Covid.
I was equally worried cos we were practically eating from one big tray of grilled fish when the call came in

Fast forward to Sunday I was monitoring him on phone to know the situation of things in their office. By evening when he was back home they called him his own result came out positive.

I was kind of restless cos I once experienced loss of taste and smell which I shared here and the experience wasn't palatable. Well, I just didn't wait for testing or raise any alarm, I bought anti malaria drugs, vitamin C, and some multivitamin. I avoided going to my parent's cos they have underlining health conditions and didn't want to put them at risk.

The mental stress that came with the whole Covid wahala was just exhausting in itself; imagine having to avoid my relatives just on the hunch that I might be putting them at risk.

johnjunior39:
Who will score the goals sir?

Lacazatte or Nekiath?

The goals have never been a problem . Our highest goal scorer is smith-4cking-Rowe. He’s an AM .

When Auba was scoring people here complained he was just a tap-in merchant and wanted Laca to feature more; Laca ha been doing that more but rarely score. Well, that’s a story for another day sha .

We have attacking options in Martinelli , Laca, Nketiah , Patino, Pepe etc .

Compared to midfield where we have a tragic Xhaka , injury prone Partey , a Lokonga that is yet to prove why he was signed and an Elneny that has refused to get better .

I will prefer an addition is made to the midfield first before the attack considering our attackers hardly score under Arteta .

johnjunior39:
Omo, nothing no rumour no talk.

I feel it would be like summer transfer, all those late purchase kind of thing cos omo we honestly need a striker and I don't understand turning down bid for nekiath self

We need midfielder than striker . A striker can wait till end of the season but a midfielder should be top priority this January.

Griffon:
These guys aren't genuine DMs rather players with good ball control. They tend to thrive in teams whose style of play places emphasis on too many short passes - possession based. Move them to teams that favors a direct style of play and watch the disgrace.

So yes, I'll pass when in the hunt for a DM. It wasn't their ingenuity as DMs that propelled their teams to varying degrees of success rather their teams' style of play.

A good DM must possess some level of defensive skills, awareness, strength and stamina, positioning, passing ability and the ability to read the game. That's my specification.

Jorginho is always caught out of position, isn't physically strong, lacks defensive skills and lacks awareness. The only two boxes you can tick is his ability to read the game and his passing ability, that in all honestly makes him a DM misfit.

DM has a simple definition - a defensive midfielder, not a jogging midfielder.

U sabi ball !

daveP:
Chambers threw indirects in his interview when signing for Aston Villa!

He said "Aston Villa are a big club with a great young manager and as a club their moving in the right direction"

All he said about Arsenal
"I would like to Thank Arsene Wenger"

The word of a useless player like chambers is inconsequential.

I feel his pain tho, a player who is touted to be a decent RB, CB , CM/DM only to be bested by every other players singed for this positions. No be small thing . Talk about jack of all trade master of none .


Any fan taking the word of such player serious is not serious himself .

iamoyindamola:
Are you saying arteta disapprove loaning out AMN when he knows he doesn't have MF
Or fought them from selling chambers?
Why is everything on arteta bias or whatever you think we have against him
Everyone is now against arteta

It’s not rocket science players will always leave , some people are paid to get them replaced. Why is the management not getting players replaced ?

Mitland-Niles leaving is not the problem , the problem is the club not getting replacements . My question is this ; is Arteta responsible for signing players now ?

That should be ur focus and not arrogating powers Arteta does not have to him just in a bid to criticize him ?

iamoyindamola:
I am not talking about auba, i am interested in how slim our squad is and he is still selling or loaning out

Is Arteta solely responsible for players leaving ? Do u think coaches run the club without any interference from the top hierarchy of the club ?

If yes , then what do u think people like Edu , Vinai Venkatesham etc do at Arsenal ?

The sooner u people shelf aside ur bias against Arteta and call the club management for the mismanagement that has been going on for a while, the better . Arteta has his failings as a coach but he’s responsible for everything that is wrong at this club. Roland17 talked about how silent Stan does not give a rat-ass about the club but Na Arteta most fans wan dey focus on

daveP:
finally, someone that understands my post. Pls explain to blueray abeg.


Torreira for never tell hin guy news? The guy vlah use us catch cruise in the face. Like even Italian papers carry his poor man mgt news for all to see. Detailed....


Few will want such. Few. Very few.


Probably twill be different slightly if that Stan was releasing cash at least half like Pep's.

Can u please explain how Arteta wronged Torriera?
