A player who has a contract still will not collect wages? I don't believe that line bro. But wait a minute, how many year contract did that guy sign with Arsenal sef, Shey Na lifetime Because it seems his contract no dey gree finish o

He rejected his wages. His contract expires this summer.

Abeg my people is abou diaby still a registered Arsenal player or he is now a steward at the club?
If he is still at Arsenal then I think it's about time I make known my theory about him. Here is my theory:
I think abou diaby's parents were working for Arsene wenger's elder brother who trained him. I believe arsene's brother really enjoyed their services and when Arsene was of age and was making things happen for himself, His brother entrusted him the son of the Diaby's for him to take care as a way of repaying the years of quality services his parents have rendered to the wenger household. Arsene being a man who keeps his words has since made sure abou earns a decent living as a footballer even when he doesn't kick a ball for a whole year.
Na joke o. .;.:

Forget diaby is a good player....injuries have messed him up.
I heard he's not been collecting wages while injured. Shame really.

Coquelin is good, very good and I have been a fan for many years now since watching him play for the youth team.

That said, saying we don't need a DM because of Coquelin is the reason why we are always fighting for 4th position year in year out. He's only played a quarter of a season. Let's give him time to learn. ManCity had Yaya, still they brought in Fernadinho and as if that wasn't enough, last season they brought in Fernando.
I am sure AW recognises this and he will bring in a DM during the summer transfer window. Arteta and Flamini are already showing signs of old age.
Many don't know that Coquelin was named amongst the flops of the season i Germany last year (although I can excuse him for that but still shows he is in a developmental stage and not yet ready to be that player who will carry Arsenal over a whole season. See Wilshere, Denilson).

Coquelin in my opinion still needs to fight for that position with an equally good if not better DM.

Exactly. Lack of depth has been one of the issues we've had. Bringing in someone like schnederlin or kondogbia would be a good idea as both can also play alongside Coq.
Regarding Coq loan stint at feiburg last season, he was played as a winger; so its understand able.

Re: Francis Coquelin
If you ask me who is responsible for the high level of confidence being exuded at the Arsenal today....
Man of the match at Man Utd, Arsene would not need to sign a DM anymore.
Those who rebranded him Le Coq should be eating their words now.
Debosky, Piacenza, Naijababe, Elfenomeno, Edi, Roland et al.

So what happens if he gets injured??
Le Coq has always been his nickname.

Pls which kind training or fitness kits we get for AFC .....one player come out nd another replace him...ways going on
Gabriel is back, chamberlain replaces him
In short make every fucking board of AFC should live jare

Apparently they are looking for a muscle specialist.
Good thing is Shad appears to be working his magic.

Inflation is the key word here...

Chelshit are a disgrace. Even against 10 men mou still dey play defensive.

rusher14:
Hell no... I woulld rather have Cazorla retire at Arsenal. Until we find another Alex Hleb or the likes Wenger should under no circumstance let go of Cazorla.

What he brings is simply unimaginable. He's so ambidextrous no one even knows his stronger foot. What this means is that with him in a team the play isn't skewed in a single direction.

Add to his recent tracking back, riding challenges and even getting in among the goals.

If you need to get rid of players there are many to choose from (Diaby - I wish he never suffered those terrible injuries, Flamini, Arteta even more).

I can't see the extra dimension Isco would be adding to this team. So, no way.

The guy after my heart is Kondogbia and I know Wenger rates him. He's got physical presence, quite clever and for a big guy too his final balls have bite.

He plays for a very rich team. So it'll take some doing to get him but nothing is impossible.

Kondogbia is said to be available for 16.5m pounds.
If Khedira wasn't so injury prone, I'd have loved to have him at arsenal.
Knowing wenger, he'll probably get someone we weren't expecting.

This team is probably the youngest U20 team we've had. Glad we've started cutting out the age cheating ish.

bendeniceguy:
Calling him the new Yekini might be a blessing or a curse!!!! I dey fear ooooh

Nah too early for that.

Lets just hope he doesn't turn to another chrisantus.

Awoniyi is a beast!!

Game was too scrappy sha. Super refreeing by Oliver.
At least we're starting to get results at big teams (even though manure is useless atthe moment

Spy360:
The same things you said about Henry when he wasn't scoring.

You guys need to stop with this thierry henry comparison already. Thierry was great at monaco, scored 3 in the world cup @21 and eventually scored 26 in his first season with us. Welbeck will probably never score that much for us.

Spy360:
OK commot na! You wey be negative fan wetin you still dey do here?

I be true fan..

sod09:
abi oo...exactly my point.....d man should just live
We claim no money in arsenal what is welbeck(20 m) doing in arsenal...I swear I better pass welbeck he's just lucky

The guy is also earning 100k a week to be scoring 7 in 24 matches. I still don't see the "henry in him" that guys are talking about.

sod09:
are u for real
A club like arsenal Fighting for 4th every season nd u happy with DAT....
Smh for dis last season fans oo

Na "positive fans" we dey call them.
Claim to be a big club yet we celebrate 4th place like its some trophy.
Statisfied with overrated, average players like Giroud.
Thats what Arsenal has turned to.

IZUKWU:
what causes this injuries to our players

Probably our training methods. Its always the same issue; HAMSTRING HAMSTRING HAMSTRING injury!!

ElFenomeno1:
3 weeks not 2

Even worse...this is someone who hasn't been injured for 3 years before he joined us.

Miss. Waste of 16m.
Another overrated British talent.

Gabriel is out for 2 weeks. Welcome to Arsenal

Dumb topic. What does this have to with him being a good president or not?

Justice Christopher, Femi Opabunmi("youngest player at korea/japan world cup), ifeanyi ekwueme.

Ericardo7:
over the years we've had a lot of flops manning our engine room e.g seyi olofinjana, JOHN OBI MIKEL and the rest. They've actually contributed little or nothing to our national team yet have made away with so much of our cash.

The question now is : Who is Nigeria's worst midfielder ever?

My answer is JOHN OBI MIKEL-he's overrated!

What's yours?

Pass that weed way you dey smoke...e strong die.

2pence:
You don't woo players to play for a country so blessed with wealth of football talents like Nigeria. What I did was point out how mistakes begin. He should make the environment encouraging first and believe me it will be the other way round, Players should work hard to play for Nigeria not WE wooing and begging parents for persuasions.. It's strange to me. Moreover, his puzzle should be about finding a world class coach and not acting as a coach, Don't he have technical committee ? Yes, tax payers money because it is not his personal funds.. or is it?

Abeg where are these talents I keep hearing we're blessed with??
Naija football is super overrated at the moment. Now I don't agree with Oga Amaju's trip, but to say we shouldn't try and convince those foreign based players is just plain dumb. Algeria do it on a regular basis, so I don't see anything wrong with it.

masterpower:
Another buhari's brother expre$sing hate against the Igbos.

Piss off with your tribalistic shit..slowpoke.

Why are people calling yak? He's our 3rd highest goalscorer of all time.
Salami, akwaebu(don't know how to spell it) peter ijeh, peter utaka, ogbeche come to mind.

For me its Xavi. No one can dictate the tempo of a game like he does. Pirlo comes next. Scholes is overhyped.

Shubbylee:
Ronaldo Scored 44goals in all competitions (not just in the EPL). but he has scored over 40 goals in a La Liga season before. it's a lie Nobody touched neymar last night, his performance was POOR, Poorer than in d Malaga defeat sef that's y he was substituted!! Even the commentator said it. you're Not talking with a dummy here.... I've been watching football for over 20years now don't tell me the EPL is overrated u can tell that to the fools who started watching fball yday!! the La Liga have 4 of the best players in the world that's all.....Athletico Madrid is d only reason the league has any competition in it, hitherto it had always been a Madrid or Barca league. The EPL would always be the Best in the world and your Opinion doesn't matter.....Hazard is One of the best players in the world.....Bleep ur silly opinion bro!! if u can't handle that truth u're a hater!! Chelsea parks d Bus against stronger Opposition (you sound like a Barca fan that is still pained by that 2012 beating from Chelsea) now I know the Origin of your hatred LOL!! There are only two teams that are stronger than Chelsea in the world.....Real Madrid and Bayern!! we would COMFORTABLY beat Barcelona.

Just like they "comfortably" beat city right??
Chelsea are good, but God they're starting to get overrated.

Osakah24:
Please dont show yourself up. Tribalism doesn't make you look smart, Before you attack another tribe oo, I am an Igbo man from Imo state.

Don't mind the slowpoke...he thinks all igbos are like him.

Wuuworld:
am going to sue u for jealousy and bad belle act....am just try to let people like u know dt when we divide this country,u people will be left with nothing,because every good thing Naija can think of comes from us...."God Bless the republic of Biafra"

And how do you know I'm not igbo??..leave your tribalistic nonsense out of football thread.

Wuuworld:
Igbo people making Nigeria and Nigerians proud since the time of Adam and Eve...hit Like button if you are purely nwa ama ala...God bless Papilo Nwankwo..

Must you bring tribe into everything? How does Kanu's tribe matter in this discussion?

Old news...this poll was done a longtime ago.
I love Kanu and all, but there's no way in the world he's 13th greatest player EVER in the history of arsenal.
This poll only proves how popular he was at arsenal.
