Don't rule out United. They are building something too.

I'll be extremely surprised if Man u mount a title challenge. I still feel they're well poised for Top 4.

If they get a striker and a very good wingers, then I would consider them

iamoyindamola:
I am just surprised you guys are just seeing what Roland and I have been saying
No he say we hate am we just want change

Facts that you guys said so but I understand during the beginning If he felt he doesn't want to use academy especially when he wanted to stabilise arsenal.

But now that arsenal is stable, it's frustrating to see that he still ignores the academy. This is the perfect time to be giving Duberry (or any other academy player) a chance

mostob:
I no go lie chief, you get point about Pep. However, their midfield may not be the same again. Even their attack is weak now going by the depth. I wouldn't conclude yet sha because window never close.


Midfield

Rodri

Calvin

Benardo

Kovacic


KDB


Who else again?

Attack


Haaland


Grealish


Foden



Alvarez


Who else?

You're underrating Pep sha.

Pep will sign players and even if he doesn't, he'll still use these places effectively while bringing in young players from the academy.

That's how they were saying he'll miss David Silva until he unleashed Foden.

One thing is certain, Man city can never be weaker with Pep at the helm

iamoyindamola:
What i know is with our current defense we can play 4 man defense and 5 man defense comfortably
Same with the midfield
I am saying this because arteta doesn't have excuse
The good thing about this transfer is we are getting our first choice not second

I'll really be disappointed if we don't compete to carry the league this season. I'm expecting a 3 way battle with us, Man city and Liverpool to compete for the league. Also, we need to carry a cup


For all of Arteta's progress, it's disappointing that he doesn't give our youth a chance. In fact, none of our academy can say they're making the squad through him.

There's no reason why Duberry shouldn't make the team last night. It's really really disappointing

mostob:
To think na you dey calm us down when we signed Jorginho.


Relax, Kai will come good. I'll gladly swallow my L if the reverse happens.

I hope and pray Kai comes good.

It was easier to defend Jorg cos if you look beyond Chelsea fans complain and watch him without the lens of Chelsea fans, you'll see that he's not really a bad player the way they made him out to be. I knew how many times I drew their attention to some of them esp Ibi.me and Popi concerning the good games he played (Like I personally watched Jorg in Chelsea just to see why he's been scapegoated for all losses) and they'll give one excuse or the other. The most prevalent was that he normally plays good against small team which in a broader sense it isn't bad at all(except na agenda). That's why even though I was angry we signed him at first, I later calm down to analyse things and found out that he won't be bad as a deputy since we'll be meeting most small teams and it's also a short term contract

I did same thing for Havertz but it was the opposite. He hardly impressed me in a match and his overall play was very poor. I personally look at overall play to judge a player and not team's result. Havertz is always found wanting in the overall play and the number of good- to-outstanding performance can be counted in one hand.

I've read all the comments here and aside the goal he scored, nobody seemed to even review Havertz performance. Even newboy Timber don dey get review.

mostob:
From the video I watched on MLS page, Kai only played two volleys. The one he played with the left, keeper save am. The other which he played with his right went just a little wide.

The video you watched is a shortened version then. Kai played at least 10 if I'm not mistaken or if I'm being conservative and only two were on target.

Omorr, that thing dey fear me abeg

Shegzdave:
That boy should be given a chance, He plays like Saka.. At first, I thought Oyin.damola was just hyping the boy cause he looks like Saka but after watching his clips, Mehn that boy is Saka 2.0

germaphobe:
Marquinhos is a no no for me, still needs loan deal or better still u21 play time. Duberry is left footed and a better baller and if given play time can develop rapidly cus he has the composure and agility for EPL. And I truely have not given up on Nelson, Nketiah can still operate from the right wings too.

Well, I just hope to see more of Duberry this season and I pray that Arteta gives him that chance. At least, make I see wetin Una dey see

iamoyindamola:
The guy has this ozil nonchallant attitude

Him own worse pass Ozil own.
There are sometimes you'll see Ozil put in efforts but Havertz na lai lai.

Him own nonchalant attitude too much

germaphobe:
to be honest I haven't seen any of the clips and my comment was just to help minimize the jabs from others who might have wanted to drag on that here. I no go talk for Kai matter untill I watch him dis morning, that is if he plays.

Well, Fair and Valid enough

Trevor012:
Saint maximim to Saudi Arabia. Jode.ra you better be soaking Declan rice in the blood of Jesus because 3years from now he might be playing in Nigeria 😂

No worries, he'll shine like Van dijk and win everything like Van dijk

germaphobe:
Guys let's be honest, which department in our squid do we still need reinforcement?, Or is this squid now ok for title challenge if they all try and stay fit without injuries.
I hear some rumors about Kudus

I've always maintained my stand. We need a Saka Left footed deputy. I don't trust any right footer on that wing, I certainly don't trust Marquinhos as well as Havertz.

Is Duberry a left footed player and will he be a deputy. Maybe I would love if he can be given the opportunity.


But If we get a Kudus this season, then I'll Judge our transfer window 10/10

Shegzdave:
Partey has join the squad in US, the club is not keen on selling him anymore..

A Midfield of Partey, Rice and Ordegaard

Ope ooo

germaphobe:
he was eager to report the area Kai failed, but couldn't report where he excelled. Typical bad belly mindset.

Lol, Blue.mann is the least person you can accuse of bad belle though.

But that's not even the issue here. The big issue is that Havertz couldn't find the back of the net after so many attempts in the cross and volley challenge. Omorr, if you've watched any clip or video on that, it's very very ridiculous to think that Havertz couldn't find the net at least once with any of his attempts. I believe even you would hit a target if given that (na wetin most of us dey even do for street ball) how much more a professional like Havertz. Except Havertz was just joking with that play, if not, if he was serious, mehn that's really really concerning I won't lie

iamoyindamola:
I know how it started the video is on YouTube
Arteta finished his prep talk and told the guys to carry the nearest man that was when odegaard jumped on arteta’s back
And the camera pointed to where small yansh they shake

Hmmm... Na wa ooo

[quote author=Bl.ueMann post=124512149]Damn...they were doing a cross and volley challenge in the MLS, and Havertz missed all 20 volleys [/quote]I dunno how true is this but if true, hope say we never buy shege

I posted it here just for cruise Sha but this is unprofessional. If to say she wear the short properly and the yansh still come out, e for better.


Why you go roll the short like that? In the midst of guys na


Now wey we want try win EPL, somebody wan pour sand inside our Garri. Devil is a liar

Lol, we fit no know how e take start sha cos I don't want to believe na from house she carry that ysnsh com

If you look well, even Ramsdale dey use one eye that sight that thing while pretending to drink water

Lol, if na the same one, you think all sports news outlets won't carry it go where dem no know?

Arsenal will never prove you wrong insha allah

You will never be disappointed IJN.

Amen ooo oo

You are taking about maturity. That is another big part. Some people will only mature by 25-27 and by that time it is too late. Some will never mature.

Then some people’s domestic life and mental health for instance is so terrible they get derailed.
A case like Ravel Morrison. When I watched him in the academy he was better than Pogba IMO while Lingard was not even in the same planet with those two.
Ferguson told the 1st team that he was the best youth player since Giggs. Rooney wrote an article saying the guy was miles better than Pogba. Rio said he was the best youth player he had ever seen.
Sadly, the guy could not even make it in the premier league while Lingard who could not shine his shoes became an England international and Pogba who was probably slightly less talented became a superstar.

I've read alot about Ravel Morrison.
The hype about the potential was so great in the academy. It's just so sad to see him never to make it through the academy because of his indiscipline and arrogance

BlueRayDick:
Jodera how far ?

Yay or Nay ?

Yay!!!

This is what I'm talking about

What do you think?

afrodoc2:
Sancho and Nelson grew up together but because of the way age football is structured they rarely played in the same age group for England.

Nelson was probably the best in his set but it was not a loaded set. Sancho was probably the best in a loaded set with Foden, Hudson-Odoi, Angel Gomes, Smith-Rowe, Connor Gallagher, Gibbs-White.

Who was better between the 2 of them is subjective but in my opinion Sancho was.

P.S IMO speed and acceleration are the 2 things CHO and Nelson had more than Sancho, in terms of ball manipulation, decision making and ball sense i think he (Sancho) was clear. The one that injury really wrecked was CHO. That Achelles tendon rupture totally changed the trajectory of his career and it is a known career finsher.

Nice. Thanks a lot.
I really wanted to even tag you to hear your opinion on it but it skipped my memory.

Truly appreciated

germaphobe:
personally I think nelson get better ball sense than Sancho, Sancho was opportune to get enough play time and exposure with the Dortmund team and deep down y'all know you can't compare German league to EPL, but then nelson once had a spell there too but na injury kill am. That boy na baller, he just need coach and follow players confidence and enough game time with less injury to move mountains.

Ps= this is my personal opinion.

Nice input. Truly appreciated.

I never really thought Nelson was that talented in academy ooo. In fact, I find it absurd when people compare him to Saka in terms of talent.

I guess I was wrong about his talents then

Ellexy:
Na so I see am o and without evidence for that matter.

Ellexy:
Omo e be like here hot well well then

Lol, dem say you be Handelex.

Na true?

Shegzdave:
I don sabi Spy to turn Amala when them catch am with his generational talent, but Mos.tob will accept his L when fowl yansh open

Lol... True oo .

I just hope na dem dash us the L sha

Shegzdave:
I go later dey give Mos.tob a bombastic side eye when Kai starts giving his Kai performance

My own na Spy.

mostob:
Nelson is good. Was said to be better than Sancho sef. However, he has been inconsistent. Injury and lack of game time ain't helping too.

Are you serious abi na just arsenal's fans hype?

I've been hearing how Sancho have been destroying academy youth teams since his Man city days(him and B.Diaz). I'm not sure I heard Nelson name with same weight oo except as just one of the budding young arsenal youngsters coming through

BlueRayDick:
Na who mostob like he like, who e no like e no like am.

Just what Kvara played last season alone dwarfs whatever Havertz has been playing in England for the last 3 seasons . I’m yet to see anything Havertz has done in England thus far to even attract how much we spent on him.

But he’s already our player sha , so let’s just hope that invisible potential finally materialize at arsenal

The bolded is facts.

The issue is, I still don't know where he'll fit in at arsenal cos all these Left sided 8 wey dem say him sabi play no dey convince me.

Fingers crossed that he performs well sha. I just really hope he does.
