What really happened to Balogun last season?. Cus I didn't actually follow him to know how he performed at his new club. I guess his €40m transfer was worth it for arsenal at the end |

Jodera: Lol... You know I typed this exact same thing to a Mos.tob in one of my replies to him this evening. Like I literally typed almost everything you said here only to delete it at the last seconds because I felt it was too long (another epistles) hence I decided to type another one and make it short
This is really funny and surprising   |

BlueRayDick: My own two cents is : As una Dey drag Arteta for allowing una favorites academy graduates leave , make una Dey drag Edu the DoF join.
I mean y’all agree Saka needs a deputy and I’ve been seeing a whole lot of names being suggested not Nelson and not academy graduates .
So let’s say Edu grants ur heart desires and signs one of the suggested deputy for Saka and we still have Viera on our books ; where does that leave ur prized academy prospects ?
Abi Arteta will sub Saka off for his newly signed deputy in the 70th minute, then sub that deputy off for Dubbery in the 84th minute ?
In this past season Arsenal had players like Smith-Rowe , Viera , Nelson, Nketiah , Elneny , Cedric etc who didn’t command starting shirt in UCL and EPL matches . It was only normal they get FA and Carabao Cup appearances .
I’m sure if Arteta had fielded an academy graduate line-up and we lost out in those cup matches we will all call for Arteta’s head for taking us back to Wenger’s last days at Arsenal .
I do not have any emotional attachment to any academy graduate. If the coach who trains with the player weekly feels an academy player can do better than a senior player in the team; I will support him 💯 and if he feels otherwise , he has my support .
I won’t support the club with the intention of criticizing every move of the coach when he has not committed seppuku Baba I tire!!!. Na Arsenal fans we all be, no be Arteta fans, we all want our club to be successful so I don't understand how every action of Arteta should be turned into war, like the negativity and anger can be felt from every single comment made to bring down his image, and it makes me wonder if it's herd mentality or inability to look pass the hate for him. And the indirect attacks on some person's here is funny to me. Anyways what do I know, I'm just a stoner who loves football because it's fun and a game of love. |

Jodera: The bolded is the reason I'm not too sad about Duberry even though I'm disappointed he's moving on. We fit claim say he's ready and good and all from wetin we dey watch from afar but Arteta and the crew fit have different ideas. Or perhaps, they just want a different approach.
Anyhow Sha, Na Nwaneri be the kid I believe they're looking for to promote. The hype and belief around him, even from our players as you rightly said is much.
Anyways, all these ones no matter as long as say we deh win trophies. Na just make we start to win the important trophies naim be the koko I'm sure more youths will see game time this season and even them knows this. Dubbery thought he's prime enough to break into the first team without going through loan spells, if only he knows the number of loans ESR went out on and Nketiah too. All of them just wan be like Saka who dived in direct forgetting that like Kobi Manoo, Saka was a case of when the "desirable is not available", and then they went on to surprise the whole world and remained "available". |

Spy360: It's the same way we cried about Hutchinson. Where is he now? Not Chelsea but Ipswich. Let's see whether he will command a starting shirt. I no follow cry about him, I know those who cried and crude  |

In jurgen klopp's years at Liverpool how many young stars did he successfully integrated into the first team in his first few seasons aside from TAA that made it in 2018?. All of a sudden we should crucify Arteta for dubbery being scared of fighting for his spot. That nigga knew it won't be easy and he backed off without a fight, call it cowardice but it's his personal decision which he thinks is right. The thing is, if the club management consider youth graduates integration into the first team as this stage, there's no how they will let Arteta breathe well with the way everything is going, but I guess they know what they want, they know we need to have a stable structure first before using these kids. Last season both Liverpool and Man City made use of youths because the structure is already there and can't be shaken. We dey fear to play Nelson and Viera but na dumebe and Nwachukwu we go give minutes. 😂 |

Jodera: ....And tbh I don't blame him. All the people who were promised this under Arteta haven't been close to the first team. Even Patino that was highly rated in the academy don dey silent after he went out on loan. If it was under Wenger, I'm sure he would have jumped at the opportunity.
Anyways sha, na Arteta and the crew know wetin dem dey see for training cos me I feel he's ready to at least be a deputy and be given minutes in fa cup, Carabao cup and few minutes here and there in any of our comfortable wins.
Nobody for know say Dem Palmer, Yamal, kobbie and all are ready if they didn't give them minutes Everybody can say the same thing about Arteta when it comes to young stars but then just like you said, we don't train with them. Patino was a good prospect but his loan spells weren't convincing to me personally(everyone have there own opinion). It was under Wenger we let gnabry go, and now he's a beast(tho last season was hard for him), Willock and his brother didn't live up the hype, same as Marcus McGuane, look at nelson after how many years, Jeff Reine-Adelaide and even dasilva. Saliba admitted that going on the second loan to Marseille changed everything about him as a person and player. Sometimes, just sometimes what we think we know is just a mirage of the whole thing. I'm more concerned about Nwaneri at the moment than those that have left. Even martinelli said Ethan is the youth player with the most admiration from everyone so I'm looking to see how his own plays out. |

Shegzdave: This is bad💔 No be today young stars start to de leave their parent clubs, some make it out big, while others flop in their new quest, the main thing is to make sure those that gain the promotion are better to the squad. |

johnjunior39: I want to cry , first that obi guy now Duberry.
I so much love this Duberry guy. Arteta should take this blame Obi is not yet out, there's no single confirmation from either his management or Arsenal or even any stand out investigative journalist, so let's not discuss that one. Arteta have always said he prefers players who really want to come/stay to help the team and once he and edu thinks you're not worth it, the leave you. That's also what happened with sesko. |

He was offered a contract with better pay but what broke the deal was the fact Arteta wanted to send him out on loan after the contract to mature and come back stronger, but he didn't fancy that choice. He wanted a defined direct route to the first team and Arsenal didn't give him that. Both parties tried but it just didn't work out well in the end. |

Spy360: First of all Saka is not a proper winger. At bestbhebis inverted. An inverted winger is a forward. A proper winger is like a midfielder.
That said, I am not against balance. I am simply saying that whatever you do you must accommodate your best players. National team football is not club football where you get all you want. In national team it's what's available so you try to maximise it. That's what makes you a national team coach.
Let me use Scotland as an example. They have two class left backs. In Tierney and Robinson. They have to play both of them. That's why they play a bac three so Tierney plays as a half CB.
Another example is Croatia that just finished playing. They have to clash AM in Kovacic and Modric. They played both of them.
If your best players are two strikers, play a 4-4-2 or 3-5-2. When Mexico had Forlan and Suarez they played both. The only way you can avoid this is if both are GKs. Uruguay you mean?. |

mostob: This transfer window will determine that. I will wait till transfers happen before making my prediction. Incomings will be decisive but regardless of who's coming in, anything trophyless again I jump ship. Arteta better start taking every competition seriously as pep does, no be Wenger wey no value Calabar cup(it's actually crazy that Wenger didn't lift the carabao cup in his 26 years). All of them matters, all of Dem. |
