Emotional fans.

Jorgs should win for playing 99 back/safe passes out of 100 passes while recycling possession.

Rabbish.

Lol... Very emotional. How will a player win best player wen if he goes to injury, opposition fans won't bat an eye lid, the club's fans won't fret and even him can easily be replaced without his club missing him at all?
Just because he won it all.

Meaning if England had won it, they would have been a high possibility that perhaps Mount might be the possible candidate for the balon dor

hensben:
Wetin u nor get. If you think messi is not better than Ronaldo then stop watching football. Cr7 is great, he is fourth best player of all time due to longevity, achievement and stats. Messi and pele is debatable on who Is the greatest footballer of all time, but I still think messi edge pele. Maradona is third. Mitchel platini is fifth followed by Cruyf and then di stefano before Zidane, then ronaldinho follow before the rest.

How is de Lima greater than Cr7?

afrodoc2:
Country wey don expire.

Look at how dey just wasted Dora Akunyili’s husband.

Seeing that his graphic pictures esp as I saw the assassination was near my village, I no know when tears drop for my eyes.

This country don expire tey tey, na just to Japa remain, cos e be like say na borrowed time person deh live for here.

Broad day assassinations twice in 1 week? God forbid!!

hensben:
Yes I think so.

Lol... You're thinking

popizaino:
Tah.....why messi no make Ronald koeman or Valverde ?

cos he's not at his peak unlike the pep and Enrique years

izzou:
[color=royalblue]The major reason why one should leave this country is because its not safe anymore. Not safe for the poor, neither for the rich.

So na like this the Akunyilis take go?

The God wey do am for Ibime, Raumdeuter, Afrodoc, Roland17, abeg remember me now.

Abeggg[/color]

The situation of this country is sad and disheartening to the core

hensben:
Well, if they give him nothing spoil, he is still our own.

Forget if he's your own or not.
Assuming messi is not in the equation, do you think Jorginho is the worthy winner for balon dor if given?

daveP:
Just laughable.

That Partey own weak me. Na Saul Niguez go soon enter XI and dem go say na Tuchel groom am up. Asif Simeone na Days of Future Past.

Decline will soon be over. Hopefully. What a time!!

Hopefully oo my brother

iamoyindamola:
Can you read at all, you just they jump like puma
That is his 50th goals in emirates staduim
Auba have pass 100goals for arsenal, btw salah and mane have been in the league for a long time
Salah- 164apps 102goals
Mane- 235apps 98 goals
Auba- 119apps 66 goals

daveP:
What did i just read? Are you kidding me? Abi na another player you're talking of?

Lol... No blame am

Any player wey dey arsenal according to rival fans na scrap.
That's how one guy came here one day and said partey can't enter into Chelsea first 11

I no blame dem na... Na our decline cause all these things

daveP:
Lol. We'd see then.

As for Pepe, i still rate him o. But not as much as before sha. But he still can get a pk against really rough, reckless defenders.

Lol... Hopefully. I'm praying let Pepe pick form, but for now it's saddening that he's not at same wavelength with the attackers even though stats might say otherwise

Spy360:
It was you who listed the criteria not him.

Player movement is a major yardstick. Can a top player leave Ajax for Arsenal? Yes.

Can a top player leave Arsenal for Ajax? I doubt.

There are many factors

History
Money
Fan base
Location
Titles
Etc.

All put together, Arsenal is bigger than both Porto and Ajax.

lol... This was what Sod said. I just followed his flows cos if I said arsenal is bigger than Ajax it might lead to another round of discussion. But he was the one who first said ajax is bigger than arsenal. I just brought in Porto to illustrate my points

iamoyindamola:
Rest
Ajax is bigger than arsenal you know

Spy360:
Based one our last three matches, Arteta prefers a 4-3-3 formation with a single pivot. Xhaka's absense will only push it. Sorry to say that means Pepe will come into the mix. I hope he still keeps Saka on the RW.

Exactly... Esp since xhaka went to injury, instead of introducing Lokonga or Niles, it was Pepe that was introduced. While on paper it looks good but that 433 formation doesn't suit us for now cos we'll be to light weight and flat to play it.

I wasn't impressed with our Burnley and Norwich display at all, and that's because of lack of that midfield balance

Spy360:
Exactly. And that's how bigness of clubs are determined. Imagine Arsenal in Dutch league or Primera Liga.

Well, you didn't refute wen Sod09 said Ajax is a bigger club than arsenal that's why I brought Porto too
Not my fault

Spy360:
I get what you mean, but that criteria was after I said they all deserve it based on performance, and because we must choose one person sentiment has to come in.

I remember back in Pri sch, two guys tied on grades, but because one must win the award, he was given based on his neatness.

So my choice (after performance) was based on who had the most difficult terrain. For me that's Ramsdale.

Lol... Na now you come. I guess the way I interpreted it was that the reasons you gave was the main reason, that was why I said so.

Anyways we are good and I get your opinion too

iamoyindamola:

You are comparing Adriano with haller that ball in german league and balling in dutch league just because he didn't replicate it in England he's nobody

Lol... You're not getting me. I didn't say he's a nobody, I said he's not good for a club like arsenal if we wanna aim for the top. Same thing with T. Abraham, he's not a nobody, but if we're looking for a striker to lift us up, no be Haller and certainly no be Abraham. That has been my point.

I remember even saying Dutch league will be great for his style of skill set, but we should be aiming for more than him. Now the onus is on him(and you) to prove that he's a big striker who can slug it out in big leagues and team and once he does that, I'll gently accept my L.

If we want to enter top 4 or be a top club back, no be all these average Joes striker na . Abi no be same way lacazette dey score 20goals a season for ligue 1 ?? Does that make lacazette a nobody or a bad striker? No!

Thank God say we get Auba, if not na anoda giroud agenda we for dey strive

Silentgroper:
Epic?? . Lol. Wen salah nd mane have gotten to 100. He was in epl b4 dem oo.. Compared to other players, that is so poor.

Lol... Mane and Salah was in EPL and Liverpool before Auba.

How auba reaching 50 goals compared to other players so poor? Call other strikers from man u to Chelsea to Leicester let's see their goal-to-game ratio compared to Auba?

iamoyindamola:
Lmao
You are beginning to sound like someone i know
You don't rate other leagues but when they meet in ucl story will change

Lol.. I'm sure you have heard of Adriano of Shaktar Donetsk who scored 5 goals in one match and finished the UCL campaign with 9 goals, all group stage goals. Till now, I never hear of him name again.

iamoyindamola:
Dutch league is weak, is UCL weak too

Lol... Na group stage na. Who takes group stage serious? Even halaand during his break out season wasn't taken serious until he did it consistently in bundesliga and against PSG wen he scored 2 goals.

You no say I no like wahala... Just let him be in top competitive league and a top club in the league, if he impresses then call me.

You can drag me anyhow you want, I go accept. Any L you wan serve me, I go chop.
Just make it legit

iamoyindamola:
2 questions you have avoided
Mention any cf that excel in westham you couldn't
I explained to you westham tactics don't give way for complete 9 to perform you claimed Haller wasn't good enough
The only guy that would have survive the is Dean Asthon but injury couldn't allow him
By fire by force you will collect your L love and embrace it

Lol... You're beating around the bush about the guy. Nothing concern me concern west ham, they're a small club so I don't think I would be following them, before to know their every striker.

I was solely talking about the attributes of Haller. He is not too good in positioning, average finisher and some other attributes. Not a kind of striker I would want for arsenal so nothing concern me concern his stint at west ham. Reason why I said if he finds himself in a competitive league and in a top club (not elite oo) in the league, and he impresses alert me lemme humbly eat my L.
Preferably Spain England and Italy

iamoyindamola:
Who's winning on current form
Arsenal v Ajax?

Winning on current form how?
You think if arsenal wants to play Ajax I'll be afraid of Ajax as if arsenal wants to play Man city, Bayern, Liverpool or all these tough clubs??

Lol... Guy, abeg no make me laff

sammymarvin:
both were rejected....I remember some people say arsenal done go sign jakie Chan brother...na Shaolin soccer we wan play....but truth to b told he is really d Shaolin soccer player we need that guy has effectively covered 3positions RB -RCB-RM....
Ramsdale is a mix of Lehman and Seaman...has the calmness of Seaman but also d fire of Lehman .....that guy is built a star...I love the way he goes for area balls ...the way he commands hs defence and also the way he passes...
To me I give this credit to Arteta ...I think he knows what he wants....

Lol... I'm not say they're not deserving of it. If any of them wins it, I'll be happy cos they're fully deserving of it. What I'm countering is the reason that tomiyasu should win it cos fans thought he's not a good buy or ramsdale should win it cos majority of fans thought we bought an expensive keeper from a relegation team and all those stuff.

It should solely be based on performances and impact and not all those reasons being given.
Hope you get my point

Parizz:
Jodera how far, una don break xhaka leg. Out for 3 month

Lol... For some reason, I'm not happy for his length of injury, at least 1 month out was what I was hoping for.
I just hope Sambi lokonga and Maitland Niles(either of them) will be able to take their chances.
Another thing I'm afraid of is that Arteta might pair odegaard with partey while bringing pepe into the fold. I feel xhaka alongside partey gives us balance compared to partey-odegaard.

I just hope Arteta doesn't do that

Spy360:
How is Porto bigger than Arsenal? Unless you are playing.

Porto have won two champions league, I think more than two uefa cups, 22 league titles.
Tell me, in what way is arsenal bigger than them?.

If you say fan base and revenue, then you'll have to agree that arsenal is a bigger club than ajax too

Spy360:
It cannot be emotional when I used criteria for my choice. You'd say so if I did not state the criterion for making the choice.

I'm not against your choice, but the reason(or criteria) Is what I said you're emotional about. What you're saying is equivalent to saying that Auba suppose to win player of the year cos he's a fine boy or he just came back from long layoff injury.

Potm ought to be performances and impact on the pitch and not cos fans rejected him or he's coming from a different league or things like that. When you start giving such reasons, it means you're giving it from emotional reasons

iamoyindamola:
If arsenal meet ajax currently, who will win
All these ajax is the only one in the league na sakamaje, they have been performing well in ucl or any European club tournament

performing well in UCL wen? It's just like you saying Tottenham is performing well in UCL just cos of the final they last reached or Monaco. Aside the season they played Tottenham in semifinals, wen last have they played quarter final or semifinals??

You just know the truth about Holland league not being a strong league and ajax being the only strong contender there but just to serve me L dey hungry you

Calm down and follow the legit way of serving L

Spy360:
It would be hard to pinpoint who's the best performer so far because most of the guys have been impressive. The criteria has to be adjusted to who made more impact from the most difficult conditions. That would fall between Tomiyasu and Ramsdale.

Tomi had little time to acclimatize and easily blended in. Ramsdale on the other hand was actually rejected by fans as bad luck and a waste of funds. Between the two, I'd give it to Ramsdale. He proved everyone wrong with his performance and won over the hearts of fans.

Lol.. This is an emotional take on who ought to win arsenal's player of the month

iamoyindamola:
Rest
Ajax is bigger than arsenal you know

Lol, same way Porto is bigger than arsenal, that doesn't mean their league is stronger then England.
Ajax is the only club in Holland, wen he enters stronger league and a good club(like Villarreal, Leicester, sevilla, Napoli and the likes). Wen he does that, I'll rate him not just one Ajaxliga league and you want me to rate him


So wen he does such and impresses, alert me lemme eat the delicious L of your choice you'd serve me

BlueRayDick:
Yeah, Odegaard deserves a space, but so does Gabriel.

Personally I would have Gabriel, Odegaard, Ramsadale and Tomiyasu listed as the nominees instead of what we have up there.....but then it shows we have majority of our players really playing well at the moment for us to be having so many names popping up in our heads. I hope we continue to witness the players give their 100% like they did this September tho

I feel why Auba slightly edges Gabriel is the 2 goals he scored but aside that, Gabriel was immense which supports the fact you said most of our players were very great this month. Also expecting Arteta to win manager of the month award.

This European absence will have will really aid us esp Arteta as will have a whole week to work with his team. I hope this upturn continues

Expert17:
So our prayers will affect his performance?

Mr. Prayer Warrior, pray that OLE wins EPL and UCL this season.

BlueRayDick:
Arsenal player of the month contenders...

I think Tomiyasu has impressed me the most ; he has my vote considering what he’s offered compared to what dem Bellerin, Chambers and co served us in the recent past.

Simply Tomiyasu.
He hardly put a wrong foot since he stepped his boot on that pitch and has always dropped 7-8/10 in each game he played.

Second ought to be Ramsdale, then Auba and ESR.

But personally, I feel odegaard should have been the 4th nominee instead of ESR

iamoyindamola:
Jodera when you ready, let me know when to serve you your well garnish delicious L on Haller.
You and that scummy clown no know ball, just tell me any CF that Excel at westham

Lol.,. I will humbly take my L wen a big club buys him and he shines

Do remind me wen such happens cos I no dey rate Holland league.
