Is that enough for him to bin out players when none are coming in
If by “bin out “ players u are referring to Auba’s case .... then u should know I support Arteta’s move against the indisciplined player.

As a fan I do not look forward to seeing Auba in Arsenal shirt anytime soon, in fact if a buyer comes for him I would like him sold. For ur information Auba is not the only indisciplined player that has been punished by his club since the beginning of time. I believe it’s the bias most people have against Arteta that is making them Not call a spade what it is. I’m sure if it was Mourinho that “binned” Auba as Arsenal coach most fans won’t see him as being too high handed .

True that.

I have written it many times here that getting rid of Stan should be Arsenal main priority. I will give Stan-Out protest 90% of my energy before finding some energy to support Arteta-out protest. We will not be able to get rid Arteta for a world class coach if we don't get rid of Stan first. Arteta fits Stan's low budget, profit-centered goal he has for Arsenal.... While I want Stan to lose las las... that might also mean wishing my dear club to keep losing... so I'm in a fix now... angry But Stan will lose more at the end.

After he is gone, Arsenal will still be here and hopefully a fun-loving, win-at-all-cost sugar-daddy Billionaire will buy my dear club.

I read somewhere that Arsenal is about extending Arteta's Contract.
Most fans like to blame Arteta for even things that are not within his control. Shey Na Arteta employ himself ni ?

We needed an experienced coach and they employed someone who has never coached even an U-18 side , yet people dey expect miracle. Like u said, I will gladly support Stan our before I go get strength for Arteta out.

What’s the point of sacking Arteta and only for Stan to still continue running the club like some damn ministry in Nigerian civil service where they don’t have some items like photocopier, stapler etc ?

Infinite Conclusion



Arteta has the worse man management skill I've seen in 2decades. angry
Somehow u think Arteta is responsible for buying and selling of players at the club ? undecided

Didn’t u read where Roland17 pointed it out that Arteta has to go to the USA to beg Silent Stan for a striker ? ...,,, Is it not obvious that it’s the owners of this club that are mismanaging the club and not Arteta ?

Everyone knows Arteta is more like an intern , Arsenal is his first job and he’s won two trophies with the less quality players at his disposal ? Almost all the players Arteta sanctioned their purchase have exceeded expectations, isn’t it obvious that it’s the club hierarchy that has not shown how serious they are in bringing more quality players ?

Arteta May have his failings as a coach in the aspect of tactical ineptness, lack of desire to adjust to his opponents tactics , refusal to play attacking football when there’s no need for defensive play etc, but I think it’s unfair to lump him up with Silent Stan that has been known to not regard Arsenal as a club worth splashing cash on.

One thing I hope many of us stop doing is making conclusions about respective positions of people who hold strong positions about certain issues. Just because I don’t like Arteta shouldn’t render any argument about him irrelevant. To me, it is an easy out for people who think differently about him when they engage me. I personally read the opinions of whomever I engage irrespective of their positions and try to see the substance that may not be related to their original position about the coach or a player.

You don’t necessarily have to defend Arteta even when he is obviously wrong. Also you don’t have to conclude my position about Partey playing the game is because I don’t like Arteta. I would hold the same position if it was Wenger that did that mistake. The truth is, Partey had no business playing that game and the result (red card) was a fair consequence of that irrational decision.
Arteta used Partey because we have mismanagement of players at the top hierarchy level. He used Partey because he was the only option available to him when he saw how midfield was being overrun . This doesn’t mean I support his inclusion in the team , it just mean I say things as I see them.


Let the club management bring in more quality players and let’s see if Arteta will still be that foolish to bring in a fatigued player hoping he will bring in something different

Roland17:
I disagree! The red card was a predictable consequence of an irrational decision by an intern that was exhibiting dangerous levels of desperation. Arteta put Partey's career/ health at risk by putting him on the pitch and I am very sure Partey made a personal decision to get himself his deserved rest one way or the other.

What exactly did you expect from Partey? Partey played 95 minutes on the 18th of January, flies from Cameroun to London on the 19th, arrives at night and the following day he trains and is thrown into the pitch to play football! What exactly did you expect to happen?

On this thread during match day, I was warning severally that Partey should not be introduced, especially if you know his recent history with injuries. The man is fatigued and on a red list for getting injured. If Ghana qualified for the next round, they would not have played until the 23rd (Sunday) which gives him 4 full days of rest.

Take a close look at both yellow cards, especially the 2nd one and you will realize they were tackles made out of fatigue. 3 things were destined to happen to Partey during that game. One is an injury, 2nd was fatigue and the 3rd was the red card, which was a lesser consequence if you ask me. The intern failed to look at the picture and traded Partey's availability on Sunday for a 10 minutes cameo appearance. Now, we are out of all the cup competitions and must now finish top 6.
If Partey did take the second yellow as a means of relieving himself of duty , then u should know that’s unprofessional conduct. Well , not like I’m buying that narrative tho.

I know how u feel about Arteta and I know u won’t spare him when any avenue to voice ur displeasure about him being our coach materialize ; but I need u to look at the bigger picture in this particular situation.

We had a very much depleted squad which is solely due to the mismanagement at the top level of the club. I was here ringing it how our midfield is going to be a ghost town going forward with just Lokonga being the natural CM/DM available for selection. I was alarmed at how our midfield was overrun that day . Maybe it was inexperience + desperation that made Arteta introduce Partey but u should know the club management with their irrational decisions placed Arteta at that spot to make a decision, unfortunately he made the wrong one.

Wengay have that discipline I give it to him, they hardly collect needless red
Calm down, nobody said Wenger is not a disciplinarian but if u must Know Xhaka collected 2 of 5 red cards in the EPL under Arsene Wenger. We can say with the departure of Wenger things got worse with our players always losing their cool.

By the way it seems u are under the impression that a coach being someone with a knack for discipline means his players will always behave themselves and not foul opponents. Well, I don't belong to that school of thought.

Players will always lose their cool and do the unthinkable irrespective what the coach tells them; a case in point is Ballotelli and Mourinho at inter. Despite Mourinho telling Ballotelli to do everything to avoid a red card, Balotelli got a red card few minutes after the "heart-to-heart" talk grin

I am waiting to read anyone blame Partey for the red card he got today!

I am patiently waiting..
Partey deserves to be blamed for the red card cos his tackle was rash, but the coach deserves the stick for even listing Partey for the match considering he woke in Cameroun Yesterday and got back to London that same yesterday.

All in all, its the management of the club that is responsible for all this mess by refusing to make additions to our midfield before sending Mitland-Niles on loan and knowing fully well our two other senior midfielders will be on international duty. It's this their path of sheer mismanagement that is even making me question why they are going all out for a striker when all fingers are pointing to the fact that it is our midfield that should be their utmost priority.

What happened to enaira?

I knew that nigerian banks would never allow that concept fly, you want to render them completely obsolete, pos operators are already rendering them obsolete bit by bit and they wouldn't even allow that trend continue, they will find a way to kill that enterprise, transactions volume for pos are outrageous right now, they are in trillions, banks wouldn't continue to allow pos operators to eat their lunch, I doubt that pos operators will survive the next 5 years

Enaira will have just ended them completely, banks are going to eventually die off as a business model, it's the truth, they don't have a future, particularly after the emergence of blockchain technology and the number of economic crises that they have caused with their poor business practices, bitcoin isn't the one but the first country to fully adopt a digital currency that gets utilization numbers that are greater than 50% globally will own the future


Banks are yesterday news, Starbucks started a wallet, they currently have enough money in there to use as they like, for coffees that haven't even be ordered, that is peak business solvency, digital currency is the future, paper will get less relevant no matter how hard banks fight it, if cbn get sense, they will use nin and ussd to sell enaira, your nin can be your account number, with audio authentication for those that need it, free transactions, study the data make loans available to users based on their spending habits, provide a platform there to buy shares or invest in states and make a profit, the possibilities are endless abeg

you can also make it anonymous too, you can have a central account that is publicly known, and from there funds are dispatched to relevant accounts publicly in the same ledger, everything will be transparent, anonymous identification can be given to the account of users publicly, while each user will privately know their own account, can also have policies that limits government ability to impede transactions or usage for users unless there are legal grounds for such actions in a way that is fair to all parties, usage will explode.
I don’t think u have a full grasp of how Nigerian banks make their money, hence why u made this assertion . Whatever is being earned by Pos operators as commission is just chicken change compared to what banks actually make from assets financing , giving out loans to corporate entity, etc.

Banks like citi bank , Stanchart don’t even do retail banking , they advance credit to corporate customers and make serious money .

I know a particular man who is into logistics/haulage anytime he wants to get new set of trucks he accesses credit facility from the bank which sometimes runs into billions @ double digit interest rate . The man uses the truck for haulage , pays back the loan within 3 to 4 years along with the interest after which the truck becomes his own 100%

Saying banks will die if Pos operators are not checked is laughable because whatever Pos operators make , just normal 1% account maintenance fee charged by banks will swallow it up. Banks do much more than just taking deposits and deducting bank charges per withdrawal alone.

As for enaira it makes absolute no sense , hence why it flopped. It makes no sense because it can’t be used as store of value like those other crypto’s that are dollar denominated. What’s the joy in having ur money in naira that has proven not to be a good store of value over time ?

It's not even the heart related issue as a result of COVID-19, that one will resolve itself in a matter of time.

It is the disciplinary aspect of his dismissal from the team and subsequent return to Arsenal. According to reports, Aubameyang and Lemina tried to bring girls into the hotel room, but were refused by the hotel security who in turn reported to the officials of the Gabonese National Team who reported to CAF.
Damn! Auba is 4cked !

For a man who flaunts his family online and now being caught trying to smuggle girls into camp. Mehn! Auba just fall hand .

If the heart problem shiiit I read is true , then it seems Auba will most likely be ending his footballing career on a low.

If it’s a serious heart issue that would prevent him from competing in spirting events for minutes , then he may have to retire like Aguero but that will be on a very very low considering his recent self-caused woes and all.

I guess by then he will have enough money and time to buy fast cars and live carelessly as much as he wants .

I don’t know if it’s just me, but I feel we are moving too slow in this transfer window and we are not setting our priorities right. I mean while we are exerting so much energy pursuing this Serbian striker , we should actually be thinking of getting at least one good midfielder first .

With the loan move of mitland-niles, Partey and elneny at AFCON and even the foooolish Xhaka’s love for red card ; our midfield really needs reinforcements which should be our first priority. It is only after this is done that I can really be excited about prospect of getting a new striker .

True..... I remember telling my dad while in school that I have no money. He was like do you have any job? Since that time it beacons on me that if you provide no value you seldomly get paid.
Exactly !

What most people fail to acknowledge is the fact that all fingers are not equal; not everybody is fortunate to have parents who do not only pay their school fees but can cater every of their needs . When one finds himself in such situations it’s only wise u do everything legally possible to not remain in such situations in the nearest future .

I know of a bros who was my senior in school , he used to sell chin chin to other students when he’s not having lectures.... he moves from one department to the other hawking his goods. He ended up being the first person to graduate with first class in the department since inception. Today he’s a lecturer in the same department ( he was offered automatic employment after NYSC) , has a family that is going well and almost through with his PhD.

He survived in school because of the value he was able to offer his immediate community . That’s how one leaves the “trenches” , not by begging others for money to feed instead.
