Spy360:
Rice is clearly an upgrade on Xhaka. Our first eleven will improve.

....so our talented as-good-as-odegaard Havertz will now be on the bench?

But yeah, I believe Rice is an upgrade on Xhaka (if he plays there)

Roland17:
I really hope we find a way to keep Partey, we need his quality and it provides depth and competition.

I swear, it'll hurt me if Partey goes.

We need that quality and competition now not replacing one with the other.

mostob:
Very funny bro... Exciting times ahead.

Heard about 4 deals would be completed this week. Nelson, Saliba, Rice and Timber.

Good news bro.

I just hope Nelson improves drastically tho

airmark:

#10 wetin??
Make I hear

mostob:


The second picture though.

Life sha... 3 of dem no go know say dem dey enter one club the next year oo

That stats no bad oo, especially when you consider the ball carries. He'll definitely be good as either an 8 or CDM

mostob:
He who works hard should enjoy hard

Lol...
Footballers sha dey enjoy oo

Na so I see pictures of haaland with that Croatian beauty

Meanwhile, wetin be that tattoo wey she draw for hand? Na she and Odegaard ni

Spy360:
E shock you?

Lol...
At this point I think you're trolling

Ibime:
Except it wasn't Mou but Ranieri, or rather Roman splashing without consulting Ranieri. You still need knowledge to troll in order not to look like Portable

2004/05 and 2005/06 season was there and both spendings individually where higher than Peps own

WhoDeyHause:
But why are you even supporting apari? Somebody that has been bullying us in the league with his one billion euros team. He also denied your club of the premier league with his point and kill team. I'm suspecting you as a hidden dead barka fan. 🌚.

If you good, you good. You know need to support a particular club to acknowledge say person good or not.

Spy360:
He is a top player. As good as Martinelli, Odegaard etc. He will perform I am sure.

Ibime:
Not everybody can read information and make sense of it. Jode.ra fall hands

Lol... Na agenda Boss. Even my posts suggests it's agenda as my aim was directly at those Mou fans who takes shots at Pep spending for spending millions on UCL semifinalists

FakeNEWSevryday:
I thought you are smarter than this

Lol... It's not deep Sir.

I just wan bring ammunition wey Dayo go use tackle Airm.ark concerning this Pep Vs Mou matter

Spy360:
Havertz was brought to strengthen the entire frontline.
His being a backup for Saka is more in case of injury or fatigue not necessarily as a sub.

He was a RW when at Bayer. He plays AM for Germany. Personally I don't see him as a striker and from what Arteta said, he will be deployed in midfield.

Well, fingers crossed.
I just hope he performs here sha

airmark:
You, the image designer and the person that posted that nonsense, dey on Colos.

BlueRayDick:
The list is not exhaustive o. Na the few people wey BR football fit sneak into the list dem out o.

Although I don’t know much about Asensio situation sha

Lol, except he's not a free agent sha cos no how he'll be free and he won't make that list while space dey for Niles, Bamba and Chamberlain

raumdeuter:
So Guardiola featured once in 20

And Mourinho featured twice and on both situation he toppled Guardiola Man city.

But one is a fraud who can't win without money while the other is a genius

dreamxhaser:
Lolz

City and Chealshit spoil football

Adjusted to inflation?

Meaning those Mourinho fan boys trolling Guardiola for spending millions of pounds on a UCL semifinals teams are actually the ones guilty of spending millions on S/F team yet couldn't win the UCL.

Mgbo Airmark, you're guilty as charged!!

Raumdeuter, come see something oo

BlueRayDick:
So Chamberlain later become free agent without playing reasonable minutes as a CM like he craved which made him leave arsenal ? …. Smh

I see mitland-Niles following the same route

Mostob, Asensio no dey this list.
I'm very certain he have a pre contract with PSG

Spy360:
Havertz

Havertz... Xhaka replacement
Havertz... Alternative to CF
Havertz... Saka deputy.

Only Havertz!!!


This was exact same thing they told Chelsea that he was Mr Versatile and that he's a generational talent that can play anywhere in the attacking 3rd, three years later we're hearing "Chelsea wasn't stable, He's not a CF, bla bla bla"


Hmmm... For the sake of arsenal, I just hope he performs very well!!

mostob:
Not yet....

Hmmm...
Where I come deh read all my news from?

Leyqute:
Bookmarked

As you dey bookmark am, hope say you see the condition wey I give sha

mostob:
Asensio is now a free agent.

Thought he signed with PSG?

mostob:
Yea... we really need that height at the final third. Xhaka used to be the tallest of the front 5. With Havertz, Rammy would be able to go long.

As for Saka deputy, there is no cheap player in sight. Jesus can do a job there though.

There is... Na we no wan look well.
Go Brazil we go see correct young players (wingers) wey dey ball wey be lefties.

See how we got Martinelli, sharp sharp he was already ready for a backup when he came, now he's a first teamer.(under 3 years)

I watched that Angelo Gabriel clips and I saw a left footed Martinelli(he plays almost exactly like Martinelli). No much hype, no paparazzi!!

It doesn't even have to be Brazil but I know you understand what I'm saying. We just need extensive scout networking.

Nobody would sit in the bench for Saka when the person Is a European but certainly South Americans/Asia of same age will gladly seat and compete. See Mitoma na!!

We fit miss with Marquinhos but that doesn't mean we should stop and not keep looking for..

Leyqute:
You're still going to give me another diplomatic answer.

Nobody fit give straightforward answers when your club dey compete with Pep and Klopp..

But I assure you, if season goes halfway and we still have that great start(or similar) the way we had last season, then I'm confident we'll win the league. Experience will aid them through this time

ObaIgwe1:
So you think Timber will bench White and Tomi? Well let's see Arteta's plan. But I am glad we will be having lots of qualities at the back and midfield now.

No, I didn't say Timber will bench White and Tomi ooo.

Let me put it explicitly


Saliba/White — RCBs

Tomi/Timber — RBs


Those two for both RCBs and RBs department are really quality and good depth

mostob:
You're right. So we never score reach 88 goals in EPL before until last season?


No wonder, Arteta is reluctant to sign another striker.

I still believe Havertz might be deployed in the striker position sha, especially if we're going long or aerially.

Tbh, I'm not too eager for another striker too, my own issue na Saka Deputy.

Leyqute:
LoL. Honest answers only

Ask me same questions when season goes halfway...
Now is too early to give any answers

odizeey:
The power of nudes and juju

Swears

mostob:
Arsenal scored 88 goals last season, their highest ever in EPL.


How am I just knowing this? The closest was 87 goals scored by the invincible.

The disappointment of last season obviously

Roland17:
He is a CB who can play RB and I believe the plan is for him to play RB so that White can transition back to playing RCB.

Make sense!!
Saliba/White and Tomi/Timber Is very very good quality and depth to be honest!

My take on this Arteta Matter is that he Really deserve a lot of credits.

Yes, he's a rookie coach.
Yes, he made a lot of mistakes
Yes, his start wasn't perfect

BUT

I still feel his pros outweigh his cons.

I remember how divided this fanbase was (Wengerin, Wengerout) and how most people have given up hope in this team. He has United the fans and no matter how we want to look at it, there's always optimism Within the fanbase that this team is upto something. Pre-Arteta, I doubt we had that feeling (please I'm not including Wenger's early years)

Our football is one of the best in the country. Not only that, we've young and exciting players. It's not easy to assemble such a team (esp with such a poor start to recruitment). Shout out to Kroenke too for helping (especially Josh) but I feel Arteta's vision is telling in gaining those trust.
He did a nice job pruning the guys that's not worth it here and we can see that these present players are committed and together. It's not easy to weed out such, especially as a rookie and a very young Manager

Tactical approach to games, he's very good. Yes he might be inflexible during games but that's one of the things that happens when you really trust your formation and structure, and most of the times it works out well.

The only thing lacking Is accompanying Trophies to follow suit but with the way things are panning out, I believe it's matter of "When" not "If".

Not many veteran coaches will turn around Arsenal the way Arteta did from the doldrums of Wenger last years/Emery while still holding the dressing room intact. See Conte for example, had same backings from the owner at Spurs who aren't as bad as we once were but he chickened out (as usual).

NB: Nobody last season no pain and rightly so, but one thing we can all acknowledge is that this team is on the ascendancy. Hopefully, we'll get to crown it all with success!

Roland17:
So I have been watching some of Timber's highlights and the kid looks courageous, strong and isn't afraid of tackling or going to the ground but I worry he jumps into many and the speed of the game may be different in the EPL. The coaching staff can help him with ensuring the timing of his tackles transition well into the EPL. Offensively he has decent pace, can dribble in open space but not tight spaces. His offense still needs a lot of work which the coaching staff can assist with.

I thought he's a CB by default.
Well, with his signing, I don't whether he's coming to play RB while White returns to Rcb(as deputy) or he comes as an Rcb.

Well, when seasons starts I'll know but it's good that he's highly rated.
