But airmark wants us to take footballers who require 3yrs to never to recover from some months injuries seriously simply because they once played well..

Someone even said I should cut Odoi some slack because he illegally bleeped Olosho and yet to recover... Nawaoo

This bolded got me cracking up

Well, my own take is that the way people(players) responds to serious injury differs psychologically. There are some that might hit the ground running immediately they come back, some might take sometimes later than others. But any player that takes years and still claim it is injury either is weak mentally or is simply not talented enough (except the case of ACL injuries).

I see Owen as someone who has a weak mentality(the former) and belloti as Someone who isn't talented enough(the latter).

As for Odoi, he still young and have time on his side.

This ability was reliant on his pace... Sadly for him, Ronaldo had everything he lacked and better at things he was good at. His decline was rapid and this lays credence to my earlier opinion.... Did you watch the recent El Classico legend match.... Ronaldinho still got it ... He was simply born that way

Talented players hardly lose their form for long... Provided at least that the player is some basic self discipline...

No serious footballer would say this below

Mehn, I was marveled. His slick movement, his passes,.... As if it was the younger dinho. Only big difference was he was slower. Dinho na football gem guy!

I don't want vodka o, he should bring Saka along when he's coming.

Lol... See this guy.

No worry, I go bring Saka(Afeez Oyetoro) come

Lol... Tempting!

But I've a dream that arsenal would be a force to reckon with again soonest

Na just patient I dey

Expert17:
We have released him already, I like that Romero ehnn

The painful part was, he wasn't selected for Copa America after going a full season without a single appearance @ United.

Back to Arsenal, make una just avoid Ramsdale or Onana.

Lol... Na now una dey release am . Una dey fond of making players lose national trophy by not partaking in it.
Na so mourinho bench Martial wella, France wey go win world cup no call am. And him be dey France team well before then oo

Now Romero too, him don go lose copa after being a crucial part in that Argentine team. If only you guys have just not blocked his Everton move.

Anyways, that Onana and Ramsdale, I no just understand us walai. The Martinez sale just dey bite us back to back. Even to get decent keeper dey hard those arsenal Oga at the top

MorataFC:

Trevor012:
Yes and she aborted Giggs child before getting married to his brother.

From what I read from the screenshot, it didn't prove that his brother was aware of the wife's cheating with Ryan.

Anyways, from what I read time past, the reason why Ryan and Rhodri don't talk to each other was because of the cheating when rhodri found out. Worst part was instead of Ryan Giggs to become remorseful and apologize, he even rubbed it in on his brother's face.

It's the main reason why even Giggs family refused talking to him cos he refused to apologize and my guy no still send sef

Such a character

Now I understand where you are getting it wrong

I know you'll say we don't have due to stadium building, but other clubs who built stadium have proved that to be a big fat lie.

Also, Wenger was stingy, it was when arsenal don dey scatter he now knew he'll start breaking transfer records in lacazette and Auba to do quick fixes.

ObaIgwe1:
I follow this thread as a Gunner, but I prefer to read than comment.

I am not a fan of Arteta and if I had my way he would not have been hired in the 1st place because my fear actually played out.

But I see almost everyone condemning him here with almost none seeing anything good or have anything good to say to defend him. While I am not Arteta's fan, but I think some here have not been fair to him. so at the risk of being called Pro Arteta and Arteta Defender, I will still put forward my opinion.

First, Arteta is only 36 or thereabout, not too far from the average age of the players he inherited.... we all know Trust and respect are keys to the success of any manager. Some of those players will have issue of giving him the respect he deserves. As if that was not enough, he was a rookie that had never been fully in charge of any team before, not even a lower league team, and as a player he was not an extraordinary player like Zinedine Zidane. The only thing he had for him was that he was working with one the bests; Guardiola. So I thought he was too small for a big club like Arsenal, but then, I also believe that everyone deserves a chance while the opportunity comes.

That said, in his defense, Arteta inherited a massively flawed team that requires more than a season to correct, although he himself made few wrong calls... like signing Willian (But then we should not forget Willian was free at the time and fresh from his best days). I knew back then it will be tough for him to make top 4 but I wished he would make it nonetheless.... and like most fans, I felt disgusted when we couldn't even make top 6.

But what he is doing now; by focusing on these young talented boys, gives me some hope and impression that he is correcting the errors made and building a new team that will respect him and buys his ideology. Football success is 70% managing people that trust and respect you and just 30% about tactics. Arteta will now not much depend on these big boys who are already too full to learn and who think they will be better manager than him. I see the average age of the next season team being the lowest in decades. If I even have my way, I will say sell Aubameyang, Laca and Willian even if for peanut and without replacement... let's give our younger ones room even at the risk of not making top 6; we will develop better and stronger. But I doubt any team will buy these guys even for free considering their decline and wages. So we have to manage them for now.

About Saliba.... I think Saliba ordinarily should fit into the profile of the team Arteta is building now.... but the guy has attitude problem no thanks to many of us who hype him too much, making him feel like he is the best and the only solution to come to Arsenal defense. Arteta cannot afford a young player with big ego at this time...he will mess up what he is doing. Maybe in the future when he is humble and ready to learn.

Do I think Arteta will bring us to Top 4 this season? I dont think so, we might end up in Top 6 this coming season, but 2 seasons from now I will expect our new team to be a force to reckon with. Think Liverpool!

While I wish we have a better manager, let's be positive and give Arteta another chance.

Bro... It's good having you here and we'll always appreciate your thoughts and Opinions.
You're welcome.


Now back to the matter.
Actually, most of my sticks on Arteta have mostly being on last season's performance. If you can even check deeper, you'll find out that I'm among those who even still had hope on Arteta till the Uel semi final when he opted to play xhaka at Lb wen we have Cedric who can play there.

Also, most of my attacks on him have been based solely on last season cos he made so many decisions that cost us. Well I'm waiting to see how this season pans out sha(I don't rate preseason, reason why I won't start analysing arsenal or Arteta there)

You made so many crucial points, but the one I want to be hopeful on is you saying we should give Arteta time that he can take us back to the top.
We'll just wait and see as the season unfolds and we hope he does, or at least near there cos we're fast becoming a midtable team and time is of essence. Else we might just be languished perpetually in 8th and 10th

Spy360:
Jodera hope you got the memo?

Lol... I don reply the memo

Spy360:
That's what being grateful is all about. Isn't it?

No...
Once one deserve more, it's foolishness to accept less. This is same thing our politicians are doing us.

We had the resources to improve our squad, but Wenger thought it wise to make the squad "just okay". He doesn't know that stagnancy in a fast paced world also means moving backwards, now the crows have come home to roost and it's biting us hard.

For crying out loud, we were a laughing stock throughout most of his tenure(from 2008) and the only thing we look out for is Champions league which we're still disgraced mostly again.

Just forget bros, Wenger do us Strong thing.

BlueMann:
Na why guys dey extra woke these days. We not fit for rape wahala

Guys also need to learn to control their sexual urges. It helps big time. My uncle told me "a guy who can control his sexual urges has controlled half his problems"

As a celeb, the bolded no easy ooo. Except you just want to lock yourself for house after matches or shows, cos in this case, na girls go rush you.

But true, guys needs to stay woke. Like someone said, na to just carry the girls, lock room and drop phones outside

Trevor012:
Women are always the victims because society does not hold them accountable for their actions. Instead of blaming a woman for her own misdeeds they always blame the circumstances of the situation, or a man if there is a man to blame. Her mental health was to blame, he didn't treat her right, the patriarchy; there is always an excuse and a woman is never at fault for her own choices and actions.

Exactly... And it's getting out of hand.
Seems Whites making the laws are no longer logical but emotional.
It's too much on Men, knowing how really women can be manipulative

raumdeuter:
It's hard o, Maybe you should try this tactic of asking for the original birth certificate.

Nacking any girl you meet without due diligence can be costly especially if you ditch her the next morning

Mehn... It's so bad!
Ladies that can manipulate any loophole in law to the fullest

Na to just form original birth cert if need be sef

handelex:
Niggas need to be extra careful out there, it's not only a man's world

Nah... I think the bolded is now turning to a scam quote

It's drifting more of a woman's World than Man.

raumdeuter:
It doesnt

Even if the girl uses a fake ID to prove she is above 18

Akon got in trouble for dirty dancing with an underage girl who sneaked into a club meant for 21yrs and older

Underage regularly get fake IDs to get into clubs

This is bullsh*t then.

Haba... It means guys are always at the losing end no matter what and Ladies can easily set up and blackmail guys/men

Roland17:
I sabi but Ko kan aye! Na you carry am come discuss even wen u sabi say he go tournament injured.

Roland17:
You get! You don forget the Lord himself? Can you even imagine if we had the Auba of 2 seasons ago on some that Wenger roster? I am not saying I was content with finishing 4th oh! Absolutely not but when I compare those teams to what we are now? It is very shameful to watch. We have no business being where we are right now and the foolery has to stop!

Lol... I tell you.
If we have had Auba under prime ozil, cazorla, Sanchez and Ramsey, at least we would have competed for league in one of these seasons. It was just so bad I tell you. Imagine the kind of chances our team were creating then and the kind of midfielders that score.

But to be sincere, I can't even compare that Wenger's team to present one we have. This team have No scoring midfielder, no good creative midfielder, no good scoring winger(just saka who's a creator sef).... Mehn, the difference is stark. So so Stark

KingAlabi:
Can your boy lace rashidi's boot?

Lol... Thought we were talking about your dream?

You don switch sharp sharp??

Roland17:
We had no business making top with the kind of players we had under Wenger.. We were punching above our weight for the most part..

Under Arteta and with the kind of players on our roster, we have absolutely no business finishing 7th, 8th and at one point battling to stay above relegation waters. It didn’t matter if he fielded street kids, Spuds were never finishing above Wenger! Not anymore!!!!

Now we are contending with Villa and Leeds, can’t even finish above Westham and Leicester City.

We know, that's why most of we fans were very angry. The squad was good (tho not enough for the league) but what the squad needed was just a top player or two and we might definitely win the league. When we needed a striker (higuain was available) we bought sanogo and kallstrom. When we needed a striker to win the league and Suarez was available, we f'ked up with price.
It was so so bad.

Imagine the season we needed a striker when almost all our squad were good, but we signed Cech....
All these things plus Wenger pride was what made fans angry



As for Arteta, well that one na different matter entirely

Roland17:
Pesin wen my GOAT Saka strap for bench with iron seatbelt!

PS: dreams can't be buy

Is this the latest depay?

Spy360:
The club is putting a lot of faith on these young guys. I hope it doesn't affect them psychologically in a negative way. Arteta needs to start seeing Martinelli on the RW.

No... I don't think it'll affect them. Rather, it'll motivate them, cos that has always being their dreams.

It's up to the club to sign correct players to complement them and their skills, so that they can carry their responsibilities without feeling like they're the "main men". If saka, ESR, martinelli and balogun live up to expectations eh, then the future is really bright for us (as long as the board no loseguard sha)

Spy360:
If we sack Arteta and get a worse mediocre, people like me will raise the plank. If we want to change someone we have to get a better replacement. If not, we would still be having this kind of discussion.

Fair enough...
But it's just somehow seeing as you are always saying we should be thankful for top 4 then, just because we're struggling to get top 4 now
