This is delusion of grandeaur... and it will end in tears .

This strategy didn't achieve much in wenger's later years and it won't achive anything at all now that we have Leicester, Spurs, West ham, Aston Villa attracting more quality players and actually having enough cash to splash than Arsenal
Can't but agree with you. Delusion of Elite type. If they want such talent then get them regardless of their price tag. That's where they'll go silent. Cos to even get good players will be much more easier to do than going after these young talents elite clubs are rushing for.


To get 4 of the best young talents right now will cos 600m alone.


Half of that is enough to get good players that can win EPL. grin

Granf Delusion!!


This VV and co are doing like APC faithfuls and Arteta is the Buhari!!

You guys doing like TT is some average buy should first check out his game before you conclude.


Someone said he doesn't have pace!!! Wow. Most recovered tackles were from behind cos he was fast to reach the attacker. Then ball progression too. He's fast in a counter attack build up and good aerially. Fear his speed pls.

Takehiro is a good RB. Infact he is going to understand Pepe than even Pepe can imagine. He's a dribbling RB again, the Brazilian kind. And he doesn't really need go deep the CK angle to give a precise cross that any 9 would easily nod in. Meaning he'd need Auba more than Laca.


And guess what, he scores well with his left foot. Taking on as much as two defenders. Which means if the trainers get sense, Pepe would be freer than he currently is and that can return some slick box18 passes defenders wont suspect. He slides much more better than Xhaka with more ball recoveries from that CentreBack position too.

When attacking, he's a big threat. When defending he's a top last man when playing CB. Its no hype. Its just what he is. He has the intensity to match EPL speed and toughness. Bad atmosphere is definitely making his arrival seem like some odd buy.


If Arteta's love for Chambers persist, I'm afraid Takehiro is going to be more as a CB pairing with Gabriel/White. But IMO, his attacking threat down the Pepe line is going to be a blessing that any coach would love since the Cazorla days!!

I believe the issue with AMN was his refusal to play as RB or RWB. But hopefully that was sorted out.

For me, the squad is decent enough to challenge for something. We are not worse than Leicester. It's now left for Arteta to win or get sacked.
The latter, preferably!

No remorse despite adult convo willingness from an understanding husband? And for an ex that can never see you the same way as when all was hot, alluring and rosy??


"What is done is done"


That line alone shows lack of accountability or willingness to reconcile a situation. Forget you're boxed. Reason like adults. But no, na to damn the consequences and ruin things and then funnily,blame the other person for refusing to be understanding.

They got at least one in each position and coincidentally, one from each of the top 5 leagues in europe, save France.

They probably feel they've done a great job this Window. Smh.

His primary position is a Cb while his second position is a Rb. To be sincere I'm not impressed cos we need someone whose primary position is Rb. Well let me see how he'll be this season
He actually played RB last season and had a superb season at Bologna. RB is his natural position.


Arteta's Foolishness is making us not see that this is a above par signing. I hope hiro is ready to shima his way to prove and help the club.



Meanwhile that's #83 linked. Quite a window.


Willian's farewell is mature and cool. The club hierarchy can make one hate a player that has 0.00001% in the woes its facing.


The AMN issue in the last few hours shows that Arteta is a Pep in conduct. Permit mw to say that's the only reasonable thing he saw to imitate from Pep. That highhandedness in regards to how he deals with players. It can't work at Emirates cos money no dey and neither is he a sensible tactician.


Watch as AMN is made to chop bench for a long while. He better get his acts together this International window. He's falteres too many times to be trusted to be at the helm with player management.

Well, for the record, shocking as it seems, NOWHERE In the NT is any verse that says a man should practice monogamy. Monogamy is rather and specifically talked about as regards the office of the Bishop.


I stand to be corrected!


Infact, there were lots of believers in the churches planted by Paul that had polygamous home.

70% Politicians would make the economy have a big u-turn than imprisoning 70% youths that own tomorrow. They should check the USA system and learn and stop spilling gibberish over youths. Everything is Youths. Arrows wey dey pepper dem!!




Besides, only dumbass analytics would project such as soon to happen. No country in existence, have such strigent security force to make 130million of its population become ex-convicts. Very unimaginable. It will lead to the biggest chaos in world history. How many prisons even dey America wey fit hold 40m? Yet na EFCc wan do 130m with virtually no prisons??

If one can discern, even if the gathering is of millions and Global, he or she would knoe if God is there or not.

Nothing made my day than seeing the Arsenal fans jubilate for City's 4th goal. Its enough message passed.


No solution right now than an Arsenal Takeover by a new owner.



I was pressing phone i didn't even see the lineups. Then i sas Kolasinac, Holding and Chambers as defenders..... grin


What was Arteta thinking? That drilling them at Colney would make them stop City's attack?? grin


Nobody could even blame Auba or ESR. The possession says it all. 81-19!!!

A meagre 179 total passes in 90mins. Thats like 2touches of the ball every 60secs, compared to 10 for City. No wonder they were 5times better!!


Very low time and Arteta and Edu are making fans to hate the players. 48hrs to end of window. Who else is coming in? grin


Coutinho?
Or a nobody!


Trust the Process!!!


Reborn?

Okay, It's not Rohr but 100% "someone else" and then he couldn't convince them to invite Alhassan abi?? He didn't see Alhassan to use on their "small minds" manipulatively?

We keep talking about Northern influences and all that, so what stops Rohr from dangling the "northern flavor" of an Alhassan on the list?

Still think Rohr doesn't also have a say no matter if it's a 50-50 say? Like I said before, it's on Rohr as much as it's on the NFF and the so called "Someone else". They all have their percentage responsibilities in this nonsense.
He has a say, definitely, but theirs outweigh his. Truly, if could ship in Alhassan. But what if they've shipped in their own man into the Midfield part that if Alhassan's name pops up,its trashed almost instantly??

True but for how long are we going to hide under that excuse and make it look like Rohr doesn't have a say as well as regards who makes the list. Latest reports emerging say that Rohr is having a standoff with the NFF on the invitation of Leon Balogun and Rohr has the backing of the other senior members of the team.
If Rohr can do that then I don't see what stops him from picking the right choices that would add more quality to the middle.

Truthfully, it is on Rohr as much as it is on the NFF.
Or maybe he's just had enough of their bullcrap and is now standing up for his captain. If we want to share the ratio of this shameful mix over the last two years, NFF will take 3 to Rohr's 1. The fact that NFF want this truly reveals thar they feel entitled to who reps the GWG and not the coach.


Rohr has his own, but i won't lie, this bunch are very very disgusting.

Aribo+ Osimhen,we need a top defender to make the spine of a title winning side
If that Midfield work well, i don't see much defending to be done, except at the semis level. Yeah, we give small teams bite, but if we get that Midfield right, the current crop might just pull through. But since i saw Chiellini-Bonucci combo at euros, i can't but wish for such a pair that understand each other. I think we've got that.

Honestly a lot of things are wrong with this current NFF, they can't even organise a decent stadium for SE friendlies. A lot of our games recently have been played in shitty academy training grounds or 5th division pitches in Europe. Things weren't this way in the mid 2000s and early 2010s
Especially those stadiums. But other bigger issues too. Too bad.
