I’m sorry bro

Lol, it's no issues at all boss

afrodoc2:
Don't cry too much. You guys are doing a good job by taking care of the children until they need to go to better clubs.

Thanks for Chido Obi Martin. In 2- or 3-years' time we will come for Max Dowman. Keep up the good work. Your factory will not burn down.

How many of these so called children are shining in this "better clubs"??

Make hay while the sun shines with your Chido, I believe that's the last you'll see from us

Enjoy!!

Bro of all loses , Duberry pained me more because here we had a great Saka deputy but for what ever reason we threw it away.


That boy is a painful loss. He would have been a better deputy.

Now we are back to sticking with same issue, back to praying for Jesus and Havertz to score , back to praying Saka doesn't lose form

Swearss, na Duberry pain me pass.

He's the only academy player I truly followed and watched keenly (not even Nwaneri sef). I was surprised when he said didn't renew. I was really looking forward to him

Na him own really pain me pass

Shegzdave:
I see nothing special about that bakayoko sef but since Jod.era say him in good light, I’ll give him a benefit of doubt provided he joins us.

They better get it right this season cause if they didn’t, e go hot for them cause those sponsors fit run

Lol, I have never vouched for Bakayoko oo, maybe you mistook me for someone who did.

The only person I tried fanning after watching extensive clips of him was Gyokeres

Spy360:
My brother I can't explain this one. He has a good shot at goal but he is no where near title grade player. He should go to Tottenham

Exactly what I'm seeing here too.

Anytime I look at how we want to break teams down and I look at Viera, sometimes I wonder how he fits in. Anyways make season start sha

Roland17:
What exactly is the plan for Partey. Are we keeping him or selling. That pass to White despite being offside reminds everyone of his quality

Arsenal plan is to keep him this season and let him go for free if a good price doesn't comes for him this window. Player is not being willing to go and Arteta Is not being forced to sell except a very good offer comes.

It's very fair to me

Spy360:
Arteta has been begging Vieira to be Saka's deputy, but my man has refused to learn. Can't even take a man 1vs1

That's the issue I have with both Arteta and Viera. Viera can't play that wing for the life of me and it's very very very glaring. And when it comes to midfield, I rate him as one of the least (if not the least sef) amongst all our midfield options.


As for Arteta, he's just forcing him for him to gel there by force, something that would have benefited someone like duberry but no, he's just forcing Viera there even though it's not proving to be working. But if such a situation happens in defence now, we for don buy another defender tey tey. It just looks as if his priorities are always low in attack

airmark:
It only shows that Jod.era is an abettor of a lying Tim.bros. Both are enemies of Chelsea.

BlueAngel444:
you have a hard time choosing between yam and jam 🙄 dont you have taste cant you tell the difference 😒

Lol, some people (like me) prefers yam all day to Jam ....

.....but not in this case

airmark:
So, we can all agree that Timbr.os is a liar, that I never asked Chelsea to sign 4 strikers.

No, you'll need bring evidences on where he said "the defence have no hope of rescuing you guys next season".

Why have you been avoiding it like plaque??

akwesenana:
Lol, na raum style be that. E go be like make you deck am from your screen. 😂😂😂

I swear, e dey annoying ehn

timbros:
Make him dey play

Lol..
No just free am oo

He must bring that evidence

MorataFC:
.
Na this type of comment always adds fuel to the fire.

Na Air.mark wey just dey use style dodge the accusation wey him accuse tim.bros deh make me laugh

drisham:
Musaila and yamal asap

Lol...
Seems Ice cold must just deh everybody list

Ijustwantto:
I will delete and throw away gbellingham and musiala. Give me ice cold and yamal🥶🔥

But I had a hard time choosing between Yamal and Musiala Sha

timbros:

Just choke am for neck laidat

Delete two:

Mine will be belligham and Yamal

mostob:
Yea... to think he started his managerial career with us. He is a natural.
Make he sweet talk trophies into coming to the Emirates this season sha.

Na the Koko be this bro

mostob:
You know, I do wonder how Arteta convinces these players to join Arsenal. There was one moment where he gave Arteta a hug and asked if everything is real. He said he has been waiting for long.

Omo, if I get Arteta as a friend, I go carry my girlfriend faraway from him.

Lol, I watched a clip of that bolded. Arteta was just smiling and telling him "yes it's real, it's real"


But honestly, I don talk am for here say Arteta get sweet mouth and he knows how to get through people. I read the board was against signing calafiori since we have defenders but he mapped out reason why Cala would be very good in elevating us and las las, they all agreed to it. I remember always watching his pressers even that our bad run of form in his early years and when is done, I'll just be optimistic about our next game even though I was served with rubbish play .

Say what you might but the guy is a very good man team bonding manager even though he's very strict. He also have his ways with the right words wella

Leyqute:
Wow. Judging from the comments here, I can see that you guys don’t give a rats ass about your academy players.

There’s no guarantee that an academy player will make it in the first team, yes. But the onus lies on the club to give them everything possible to make the step up.

I’m not even talking about guaranteed minutes in the first team. Common U21 matches - which nobody gives a fvck about tbh, you guys are harboring it like gold.

Cole Palmer was sold to Chelsea for 40m and he left City after they sold Mahrez and co because he wasn’t guaranteed playing time. Look at him now. If he stayed at City I’m sure he’d still be sitting on the bench right now. Arteta and Pep hardly trust youth players from their own academy.

Tbh, most of us have seen how we've used academy players in the past and how it didn't take us where we want to be under Wenger. Personally, I'm indifferent about it cos what I want is the major trophies, tho I'm not against integrating academy players into the team.

One thing I know is that the level is our team have now, you've to be extremely good to get into it. There's a reason Nwaneri out of all the academy players is really looked at. The pressure is on Arteta and he knows he needs to win something. Infact, this preseason is the first time Arsenal under Arteta have used such a great number of academy players. And my inference is that he's finally stamped his style of play in the team(first teamers) and it has become natural to them hence the brooding of the youngsters now. With time we'll get to see the integration of academy players I believe

I've not seen Chido play live (the way I'm watching arsenal play) but if arsenal says he's not yet ready for the u-21 yet but the u-18s even after all the hype, then I'll give them the benefit of doubt and trust their judgement on it. I wish Chido the best and I hope he wishes Arsenal the best too.

daveP:
I doubt he will get more than 2 midfielders. Merino and Ruiz or Partey cover. So overall, before Window shuts down, we should be expecting arrival of 4 more players(2 midfielders and 3 forwards, preferably a winger and a striker)

That Viera deputy no fit work imo.

Hmmm about the bolded.
The highest I'm expecting is one more signing and it'll be generous if we get two.

And as for Viera, with the way he's been shunted in the wings this preseason, I'm afraid it might be there

mostob:


He no fit lose focus lailai... And his English is good.

Heard Wenger was the one who discussed him with Arteta a year ago. Wenger said the guy remind him of Petit and since then Arteta and Edu have been keeping tab on him.

When I heard his clean clear English during his welcome speech at Arsenal players' review room, I was surprised. It's so clear.

I just hope he's really worth the hype tho. He really looks an interesting read exciting signing

daveP:
The arrival of Riccardo Calafiori at Arsenal means that #AFC have now spent more than £200m on defenders under Mikel Arteta.

Since Arteta's appointment, Arsenal have signed 11 defenders, at a cost of around £240m.

Is the Leroy Sana connect true? We need attackers abegggggggggg. Attackers that can bench even Saka or rival him😀

E be like say na midfielder be the next target sef cos I'm seeing that Sane news as rumors (at least for now).

For now, I think his focus is on midfield but hopefully we'll add attackers (which I doubt). I think he's seeing F.Viera as saka deputy and probably Jesus. And with Jesus and Havertz fit, I doubt we'll go for any no 9

mostob:
Man is settling down so fast.

Hope say the guy no think say those babes na him teammates because dem get long hair like am??

Sharp sharp, my guy don go connect

Unlimited22:
Lmao
But they can pronounce Tchaikovsky and Michelangelo


Continue making excuses

Lol... You can imagine na

When it comes to complex European name, dem Sabi am but simple straight forward Nigerian names, e don dey hard dem

Ijustwantto:
I don't blame him. We also can't pronounce their words correctly. Chuckwuemeka, madueke etc are not English words, but he could have pronounced better. Pardon him😎

I don't believe this explanations biko.

The chukwuemeka and Madueke are spelt clearly in English words and it's not as if there's any Igbo intonations used there. It's pure English and vowel intonations used in those names.

When it reaches other countries names, those commentators will know how to pronounce correctly (Jesus pronounced as Spanish he-sus) but once it reaches Nigerians or Africans names, they'll just be calling nonsense. But once it reaches their own, na we go deh try wan pronounce their own well

drisham:
Do y'all agree?

Salah disrespect.

Someone will think Salah is playing in Nottingham forest.

Imagine!!!!

Omoluabi16:
Too many players. We've bought like 8 wonderkids the last 2 seasons, we're bining casadei already.without being overly pessimistic, it's glaring that team is still far off from winning the league.

It just seems any wonderkid you guys hear from South America, board will just buy, no plans at all.

The squad is too much, it can even confuse coach. Why it's even noticeable now is because of the injuries you guys suffered last season. I imagine how it'll be when everyone is fit

andrewbaba44:
Lacking in vital position with 53 first team players ,that shows they don’t know what they are buying ,one Argentine CB from boca junior already Dey on his way

If Chelsea give burnley and Sheffield new first 11 each they might still be in the premier league

Factos!!!

andrewbaba44:
Omo Chelsea fans wey suppose Dey enjoy with those unlimited transfer resources ,owner go just to Dey buy randoms ,e sure say the coaches self go deh confused at times

Like with the amount wey Dem don spend so far, everybody for Epl suppose deh fear dem.

Dem suppose get so many x-factors players not just Palmer

andrewbaba44:
He was already coming good and getting settled at the season and they decided to sack him ?

Omo the owner of Chelsea is only interested in doing business abeg

Chelsea fans should brace up ,the abramovic era is no more ,this their owner no care about achievements

A team with 53 first team players ,buying mid goal
Keepers every 7 eke market days like say e Dey buy gala for holdup

No lies bro even though what you said is funny

I wonder how top team go get squad like say na spreadsheet wey Dem deh mark attendance for government secondary school

Worst part is that Chelsea fans still feel they're lacking in vital positions even after all these players bought with billions. Todd boehly and egbali needs to be studied

Anyways sha, it's a new coach getting used to players. It's unfair to judge the team when they're just getting used to a new coach and new system. Let you guys don't also forget the fact that most some important players isn't back yet. It would have been different if it's his 2nd or more preseason.

There's a reason why it's called preseason and it's to make all these mistakes and to see what works.
