Fkhalifa isn't seeing this

Swissh:
It won't be possible. No Leicester player will be leaving in January. Thomas partey is more realistic and has just 50milliom release clause.

Roland17:
Stop reacting to cheap rumors from newspapers that want bait clicks. There is no truth in that rumor.

Why would Ndidi leave a title chasing team, currently placed 2nd for 11th placed Arsenal?
Why would he leave a balanced roster for an unfamiliar, volatile project?
Why would he leave the prospect of playing in the UCL next year for Arsenal whose chances of making the top 6 is near impossible?
I mean, even if he would leave, it would not be in January, summer time, maybe yes!

What are you driving at??

from head coach misinterpretation to asking me about discussions between members of staff at Arsenal... lmao! chai! Arsenal fans don suffer o

olabode89:
This is very wrong!

Most coaches in Spain, Germany and Italy are head coaches. Zidane is a head coach, same for Mou at Spurs and Valverde at Barcelona.

The era of managers demanding for players is far gone. They usually discuss with the head of recruitment/director of football positions they will like to improve and together they determine traits they should be looking at. In some cases the director of football can target specific players but he has to discuss it with the board and manager.

iamoyindamola:
Quick question guys: since wengay left, our managers were referred to as 'head coach'.
Does that mean they only coach and doesn't have a say in transfer market?
I just remembered Emery said he wanted zaha instead of Pepe. Why refer to them as head coach when other EPL clubs uses the tag 'manager'

iamoyindamola:
The truth is Arteta will use at least a year and half before the board will want to do anything. I hope the English fans will be patience enough and support him cos I do t see the miracle he will perform on these slowpokes

daveP:
If Arsenal of Arteta continue to lose games, but just end this frustration of playing from the back, i wont mind at all

Spy360:
He mustn't replicate Pep's style of play. He only needs to get this team back to winning ways, however that is possible.

MrDojo:
Our team is unbalanced. What has having both brought for us? Our attack has been disjointed with both of them playing.

How many top teams (as we are aspiring to be) play with two strikers in attack? Watch our previous matches, anytime Auba starts on the wings, the opposition attacks through that wing. Always.

Ask yourself. Why don't Man City play Kun and Gabby together. How come Madrid does not play Jovic and Benzema together? Why didn't Bayern buy another world class ST to partner Lewy? Why is Liverpool not going for another world class striker to play alongside Bobby? I can go on, but I'll stop there. I believe you get my point.

If not, let's see agree to disagree. It will shock me if Arteta plays the two together without reverting to 4-4-2.

That I'm saying either one of them should be sold does not mean I don't like them, let me point that out.

Good day.

iamoyindamola:
That's why I feel the youths are the one playing with passion and commitment.
Smith played more than ozil has done all season in just 30mins says alot

MrDojo:
To be honest, gone are the days I have any emotional attachment to the players. They can all f@_k off. In fact, I don't want most of them to be here when we sign new players. Because, their rotten mentality will corrupt the new lads and possibly the young players.

That's why I'm scared for Gabby. I don't want the 'I don't care attitude' of this team to rub off on him.

Again, selling the players is one thing, but we must ensure we get the right players to replace them. We don't have to look for superstar signings... There are a lot of good players out there waiting to take the next step.

And, I hope Arteta will ensure we have a balanced squad. I know it's not a popular opinion here, but I've always said we should sell either Laca or Auba (it's likely both will leave soon though).

MrDojo:
Bro, if we were talking about another club, I would have supported you. But not with this Arsenal team. Let Pep and Klopp be announced today, they won't do anything with this squad.

Our players are overpaid, average, and lack desire to achieve anything on th pitch. Some of them are even uncoachable.

After Emery's sack, that was the perfect time for these players to have a clean slate. However, they continued playing like a tram worthy of relegation.

Let's not even begin to talk about the mentality of most of our players, I have never seen such a mentally fragile team in all my life. And they never take responsibility for anything.

No coach, I repeat, no coach will suddenly change the mentality of these players midseason. It's highly unlikely.

This week alone, several news outlets have reported our players just don't care. Yes, those reports maybe wrong, but from what we have seen on the pitch, I personally don't think they're wrong.

If you haven't noticed yet, most teams raise their games when they play Arsenal, because they can easily smell blood.

I don't see the miracle that will happen that will suddenly make us win Europa league, especially when some good teams dropped out from the UCL. Let's not even talk too much, do you see Arsenal beating Wolves or United over two legs? And these two aren't even the toughest opposition in the tournament.

Even though over 20 matches remain, this season is gone. It's time to be realistic. We need to take a step back and plan for the future. It's time for us to stop the rot in the club.

Yes, I'm very much pro-Arteta, and I believe (Hope) he'll succeed with us. Yes, his appointment is a massive gamble, but I'd take him instead of a finished Carlo or another manager on the decline.

Hopefully, his tenure as our head coach will bring back the old Arsenal. However, if he fails, we move on in our search.

kokaneprodigy:
I said it here earlier this season that I expected him to get Xhaka’s replacement, one who can partner Torreira. A lot of peeps can attest to that. That was my ish with Emery.

kokaneprodigy:
I’ve always wanted Guen to transition into the first team but gradually and not at the expense of results. This was where Emery failed woefully plus fans getting fooled and saying things like he’s our best midfielder even ahead of Torreira was nauseating.
Xhaka ain’t where we expect him to be but Guen isn’t a better replacement and playing him with the aim of improving him which is not a guarantee sef at the expense of results is not the right decision.

kokaneprodigy:
Can u get a post where I said Guen must go?

I’ve repeatedly said Xhaka has to go and was angry with Emery for not replacing him during the TW.

kokaneprodigy:
Is this same as Guen should replace Xhaka to you?

kokaneprodigy:
Fans don’t want Xhaka doesn’t mean fans want Guen. These two events are mutually exclusive.

I personally want Xhaka gone but Guen ain’t a dependable replacement.

kokaneprodigy:
it shows u don’t know what u are saying cos all the guys u mentioned with the exception of Guen and Martinelli are not youth in football context they are above 23.

Plus who are the fans that want Guen, since Ljungberg started benching even the few fans he had that are not driven by blind argument have said what I’ve mentioned about him.

kokaneprodigy:
how did u arrive at this figure? U can’t just be quoting figures arbitrarily. The earlier Europa fixtures had more of the “senior clowns” than youth in the lineup.

Emery relegated even the likes of Torreira, Ozils etc to Europa while the like of Willock and guen were guaranteed starting spots in the league. We know how it ended for him.

collinometricx:
Martinez - sometimes clown
Dinos - clown in the making
Luiz - chief clown
Sokratis - deputy chief clown
Ainsley - sometimes clown
Guendouzi - not a clown
Willock - sometimes clown
Saka - not a clown
Nelson - not a clown
Emile - not a clown
Lacazette - not a footballer

BlueRayDick:
Mavropanos did not show any reason why he should get a place ahead of any of those two tonight.

In fact those two played better than he did when the 3 of them were on the pitch. He kicked the ball in the path of an attacking player twice in the first half. He was shaky.

kokaneprodigy:
which cup games? If I ask you to share the lineups now you’ll disappear.

kokaneprodigy:
Where are the team play youth?
Team it can’t be worse than this?

Una go just dey type from emotional outbursts, we should play youth to championship

BlueRayDick:
This Smith-Rowe game.no fit mature for the next 3 years sef
