It's not bad to use torreira as partey backup

Well, until we try him first tho as a lone 4.

I hope we try him during preseason

ObaIgwe1:
Even if Torreira stays and we sign 5 new Midfielders, Xhaka is going nowhere till you hear directly from Arteta, know this and know peace.


In another update:

I can confirm that I am fully recovered and ready to play again. I will be ready for Arsenal pre-season.
New season, stronger me� COYG� - Takehiro Tomiyasu

What of Partey?
Any update?

Spy360:
Gabriel Jesus is a done deal. Arsenal will have a bid accepted for Osimhen.

You guys think the Kroenke's are joking.

Bookmarked.

I no wan hear Tori If I no see those two donning arsenal jersey

iamoyindamola:
Are you sure he's more of leftie
I stopped checking youtube for review of players after that peperito scammed us

Lol... He's a leftie but he isn't one footed like Xhaka or Tierney that if you hold their left leg, they'll be subdued. He's double footed like Tomi that can pass or dribble out with both foot.

I'm not using YouTube to judge a player tho, I just use YouTube to see the kinda player I'm expecting

iamoyindamola:
I don't even know the guy
He was brought out of the blue

the guy looks legit. From his clips he looks like a good visionary passer and dribbler. Plus he can score from range. Another thing is that he's double footed.

Looks like a very very good signing

Spy360:
Na because Una nor dey receive official internal memo

You wey be the bridge between the board and us, why you no tell us the internal memo?

mostob:
True...I can't wait. E be like Jesus deal is done.
O boy...e be like dream
Within 24hrs

Really??
Omo.. make we dey see

E be like say arsenal board don see me and Roland.17 rant ystdy

mostob:
Ehn...if you say so. Maybe na me dey look for a mix of Modric and Cazorla.
The guy resemble Benardo.... Arteta sha wan emulate City. ESR na our Gundogan

Lol, I don lower my expectations on this when expecting any player to come to us.

My expectation is that let the player have very good basics pertaining their position which can influence games. Dem cazorla and modric specs don dey enter extinction sadly

Hopefully, this guy turns out to be another low-key great signing. Exactly what the doctor ordered

mostob:
The YouTube is just average abeg...I've checked. Nothing spectacular.

Omo, I've watched the guy different videos and clips and it's spectacular from my ends.

From the clip, if our Midfield is a trio of Partey, Odegaard and him eh, e go gell well. Seems like an upgrade on Xhaka to me

It's good Arsenal did such quick signing as this without any rumor or dilly-dallying. If na so arsenal go dey do deal— quick and early—person for no too dey vex anyhow

Actman05:
Na every team get their month.

True... I was just fixated with arsenal's own cos obviously they're my club

iamoyindamola:
Where you see 25 nah 45m
Check am well

Lol.. 45m??

But what do you think of the signing?

daveP:
That World Cup break na the rush probably. This is the season that Arteta executes squad rotation to the fullest like Emery did that year we went to Europa final. Possible if we can get at least 5 new players.

Yeah, I suspected it's because of the world cup that's why.

It'll be interesting to see how Arteta maximizes his squad depth effectively especially as we have the 5sub rule

mostob:
na after we sell Xhaka I go know say we serious.

Vieira
Tieleman
Partey
Ode
Mo
Sambi
Torreira (if he stays)

Maybe another DM won't be bad to deputise Partey.

So, you still dey get hope say we go sell Xhaka?? I don talk say that guy JuJu strong wella you no wan hear.

With or without Xhaka, this list is very very good

mostob:
Arsenal? Upward trajectory after the 3rd match? Nah bro.

Ok, to briefly put it....most fans didn't believe we could enter top 5 until January.

Lol.. you're overstretching this.
I don't think so

mostob:
7 goals and 14 assists for Porto last season.
I don't even know what to say

Hmmm... Nice stats from a Midfielder.

Make I go watch him YouTube be that

mostob:
Which season are you talking about please? Cos we were almost fighting relegation after our first 5 matches last season.

Naahhh.. we were fighting relegation after the first 3 matches not 5.

Meanwhile, after the 3rd match, while we were on an upward trajectory spurs were on a downward trajectory. So yes, I'm talking about last season

mostob:
I think he is still coming sha...let's wait and see

if we sign Tielemans and a striker after this Viera signing, then I go know say new dawn don show for arsenal

So every news is just carry that we signed/agreed deal with porto for Fabio Vieira for 25m pounds.

Well, let's hope it turns a very very good signing for us

iamoyindamola:
Shebi we complain about mustafi if we con get maguire nko
All na M start am

Omo...

mostob:


We should send Xhaka to Roma and collect Abraham.

Lol .. so na so Tielemans deal take die abi?

iamoyindamola:

He remain small i think we get maguire

Abeg no think am oo

mostob:
Yea...That means we should worry more about how we will not mess up again rather than our neighbor

Thing is... We didn't start at the same level with Conte. We were above them (in terms of points) with tottenham Conte. They played, outscored us in Gd and still top us in points.

Now that everyone dey start with 0 points and they're obviously strengthening under Conte, we'll be deceiving ourselves to think na just "same old tottenham"

Roland17:
This embolden off me

Last season, it took till January to finally get clarity on our squad! January 2022 oh!! I remember the days when our new players dey follow us go our preseason tours 4 Asia or US.

I swear. Our players(signings) no dey always follow us go preseason games again. Those days wey na from preseason wey dey enjoy our new signings, but now, na from September we dey see dem(after int'l break)

iamoyindamola:
But you know if na the mustafi.luiz concede that much goal we no go hear word
Remember those one play with xhaka as DM with leno in goal
Thank God for ramsdale and Partey we suppose end the season with 0 GD like our Red brother

Lol... I no even know the conundrum of this our defence sef

This ones looks better than last set yet the goals still deh flow in

mostob:
It's not down to their brilliancy though...na we messed up

For them to capitalise on our mess-up says something

iamoyindamola:
Bro we conceded the more goals last season without the clowns so we need new defenders

Forgive brother, forgive na

Roland17:
August is but a month and change away. I don’t want us to start this season the same way we have started the previous 2, with a lot of uncertainties.

We need to wrap up loan deals, who is staying, who is leaving and who is joining at least by early August, so we don’t suffer another bad start to the season with another bloated squad. When there is a lack of clarity with the squad it makes it even more difficult to focus on the new season.

By now, Arteta should have seen enough of Pepe to decide what he wants to do with Pepe. If he is going then put him up for sale or offer him to clubs, if the plan is to recoup some of the money, if not then let’s know. Same applies to Niles and others.

If Arteta has identified his targets, let’s get the ball rolling on the guys with concrete conversations. I hate last minute transfers because they are difficult to integrate into the team with the exception of mentally tough guys who can adapt quickly.

We need 2 quality midfielders, there is understating that, anything short of 2 quality midfielders and a good striker is going to be a failed transfer and a recipe for a bad season . We can say Torreira fulfills depth/ competition.

my brother, I'm tired of arsenal's sluggishness is this transfer market as well as you. Nothing concrete, nobody is even talking who's going and who we're bringing in.

By August ending now, we'll start doing panic sales and negotiations in order to buy players. By then we'll start hearing how it's difficult for us to get our targets since buying players isn't as straight forward as buying okrika. It's just tiring

I just dey wait dey look dem

iamoyindamola:
We still need defender guy
Sell AMN, Nelson,Bellerin who else they loan

Lol... You don start with this your sarcastic talk again

You no go allow dem "defence wins you league" dem rest abi

iamoyindamola:
Lmao
Since wengay was still in charge
Honestly spuds are improving just trophy to add, I think since pochettino was incharge we haven't celebrate st totteringham

Lol, since pochettino, I think it's only once and it's during Leicester winning league campaign.
Na just only trophy dem dey miss from their upward curve and since Conte is available, I doubt it'll take any longer.

hensben:
Henry was old. Pedro was mostly super sub for barca. Those players you mentioned were known, fab just did wonders with monaco before he was signed. Alnord, robertson, gudogan, reus, lewy, hummels, etc are the true unknown players before Klopp got hold of them. Stones was known at everton that chelsea even bid for him but decided to end up with man city

Stones was known cos you watch ONLY EPL then. If you've followed football then you'll know that Deco, maniche, McCarthy and co wasn't unknown too

hensben:
Mou proved himself with Porto with unknown players. The people that pep built neither starter or carry along. The core players in his team where established, whereas Klopp used unknown players at Dortmund.

Mou proved himself at Porto
Klopp proved himself at Dortmund
Pep proved himself at Barca


How is that hard?
