Shey na this cunha we wan sign too🤣🤣🤣

I no talk am ?

Imagine combining the two Cunha and Havertz🤣

daveP:
🗣️ Mikel Arteta on what he looks for in a striker, besides the data: "A player can score a lot of goals, great. But I want to know how he reacts if he has a period of 6/7 games without scoring. That's what interests me."

" Watch an interview with a player who hasn't scored for 6 games. Who did he score against, in what context, in the first or second half, only with his right or also with his left and his head, only when the space is open? "

"Does he like contact and is he ready for the physical challenge of this league? This is very important, this is essential information when you consider the time you are going to spend with a player."

What a time!!!! 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

Buy clay for this man so he can would one for himself

BlueRayDick:
Why do u people keep repeating this line "We had no business honestly getting a new defender yet Calafori was seen as an upgrade" ; as if repeating it countless times will make it true?

Just last year we were all here complaining about how Zinchencko our LB gets roasted defensively anytime he starts for us. We complained so much that some of us kept wondering why Arteta keeps starting him knowing how weak he is defensively. Then there was Tear-knee who was obviously not in the coach's plan and would not be at the club today if not for his constant injuries that has scared most suitors away. Tomiyasu who could've played the LB is almost always injured every eke market day.

So how exactly were we doing well and not needing a LB before we signed Calafiori? For the life of me, I will never imagine anybody will call Arsenal signing Calafiori a luxury signing seeing how thin we are in the LB position.

I will Merino is a luxury signing but certainly not Calafiori.

As regards Ramsdale & Raya, it was obvious Ramsdale will lose his starting role going by the errors he made in the 2022/2023 season. Ramsdale was a good shot stopper that made really great saves to earn us points in his days at the Emirates but he also made so many errors that cost us points. If I don't remember anyone, I remember the one he made vs Southampton which led to those ones scoring within 27 seconds from kickoff while we were busy pursuing the EPL title. It was so bad that he had to apologize to the fans after the match .

As much as I liked Ramsdale while he was with us, I don't really fault the coach and the management of the club for relegating to the bench after replacing him with Raya. He has himself to blame for that and nobody else.

Arteta and the club management should take the blame for believing a washed Raheem Sterling would be a worthy deputy for Saka. Since it is clear that Saka's shoes are too big for Sterling to step into, it is only reasonable for them to make arrangement to sign another right winger on permanent basis since Sterling's loan is just for a year and will end in the summer.

I also want them to sign a natural goal scorer who will help us convert all those chances Havertz has been spilling. It is nit too much for us to have the best of both worlds, I believe the club is in a good financial position and we should also make some money selling some of our players that are just occupying space in the team doing nothing.

Chief be honest , in order of priority after last season was defence really the issue ?

Not taking anything away from Calafori because I am a fan too but the fact remain that there were order of priority man.
Is a norm. It was clear to all and sundry that there were games attack was found wanting.
We knew that Saka needed a deputy but we took that money to buy a defender when we had more clean sheet.

For Merino, course there was need for additional Midfielder but not Merino.

Now we have two aging DM, we don't want to start addressing it now

BlueRayDick:
We've all seen that Viera cannot play on the wings, even Arteta himself knows this; that's why he was sent on loan since there's no space for him in the middle where we have Odegaard holding it on lockdown.

Cunha is at best a decent winger who will contribute goals from the wings.Even if we don't sign Cunha, we will need to sign another winger to play the righ wing because we are quite light on that side of the pitch.

The fact that Gabriel Jesus is injured makes it imperative for us to also sign a decent striker and Osimhen is not a bad choice.

This is not about having a pre-conceived notion about Arteta; honestly I wonder why u guys find it so easy to blame Arteta for everything while absolving the club's management of any fault. Even before Arteta joined this club as a coach, we've been having issues of not signing players we the club feel we need. Don't u think it may be the club management's issue and not necessarily the coaches?

I understand you completely and not putting the whole blame on Arteta but he has a role to play.

For example remember Lacazette was brought in August and when Wenger was still not satisfied, we signed Auba in January.

We had no business honestly getting a new defender yet Calafori was seen as an upgrade.

Ramsdale was doing a bit just fine yet Raya came into play.

Like I said, If Arteta needed a second for Saka he would have done that. When I saw the news that Nwaneri is back , I just knew that winger issue is buried, Saka will be back by let February which is about 4 weeks or more.

Again, my prayer is a pure 9 because me don't see this our board and Arteta buying two players this January so , give us a striker and save us the misery of Havertz before the will start trying Trossard abeg.

BlueRayDick:
It is not about what I believe or what u believe.

It is not Arteta's money but the club's money. If we need a striker and a winger, it is only expected of him to suggest his preferred targets for the roles to the management and let them push to get them signed.

We need both winger and striker, so let them sign both.

You and I know that Arteta don't think you need any winger first of all.

You and I know that Arteta will rather recall little man from Porto.

And you and I know that if Cunha come is a case of he can play 9.

Like I said, my prayer is let them get a proper 9

BlueRayDick:
How is Cunha signing going to be similar to Havertz's ? Cunha has scored 10 goals in 21 EPL games this season already.

I believe signing him to use him as a winger and then signing another CF will not be a bad business at all.

You really believe in Arteta that he will sign Cunha for 80m or so to come and play as a winger ?


See let him just give us a striker biko.

A proper one oh not they one that can play 7 positions

This Cunha guy just dey do me like another Havertz signing.

Walai, I pray it does not pull through. We need a proper 9 with numbers. Buy once and do all Lil what we did with Auba.

All this he can play across all front, he can do this and that don tire me

Unlimited22:
Justice done.

Take it up with your captain.

Hahahhahahahaha

It was too soft sha , be like my captain use guilty conscience play am

Please even if it is Zinchenco to replace this Merino I dont mind

mostob:
That was no foul actually but I'll take it. E remain that Martinez.

I go happy for his own

iamoyindamola:
Let's see if they take chances

If they are not careful, they will get another one

On addition, this Man U team is so rough

iamoyindamola:
E dan happen

I be no dey expect us to win this game share


Make we continue to dey live in delulu.

If na club wey serious, we suppose dey compete go Kva self knowing that our two left wingers have decline.

No striker, I am not sure Havertz have done any reasonable thing in this game. We wasted a whole 70m on him

Jorginho is just a burden honestly.

Shegzdave:
See Jouginho

Papa just come give elderly advice for this pitch today

BlueRayDick:
Well, amongst a section of our fans Nwaneri gets the level of hype that accompanies Barca's Yamal but having watched him play in Arsenal colors I concluded he's not all that.

To me he's a good player that has potential to reach his peak but for now he's overrated.

Your choice though but due have been good bar one game

iamoyindamola:
Is overrated not the person they hype and isn't worth it, how is raya and calafiori overrated

Raya is not all that for me

femianski:
Look at that Kombo guy on tik tok taking a video in the super eagles camp in Uyo and bragging that we were gonna beat Rwanda cos the training sessions were insane. Funny enough, we got beaten.

I thought I was the only one irritated by those interviews.

When I saw this skit maker- Carter Efe following Boniface and others to their hotel room, I was annoyed can you allow them do their work?

In their various clubs you don't get to see things like that

Jencejyde:
Nothing beats playing the game in the simple manner. MOVEMENT was all that was needed for GJ to get his acts together rather than holding unto the ball and always trying to do one dribble or the other. Yesterday, I saw a player who just made runs in and out, left and right with a minimal of two touches when he was played to feet. That's all he really needed and this even helps him stay injury free. When you have Martin and Saka , you really just need to make runs and they will find you. So happy for him Yesterday and hope he keeps his game simple with consistency. A reminder to the board once again to get odegard deputy ASAP.

I agree, Jesus came alive yesterday and showed he offered more than Havertz.


On the other hand, The goals Raya conceded last night will really make you wonder what wrong did Ramsdale committed

mostob:
Even Tierney himself knew he is not supposed to be here. His injury disrupted his transfer. Someone that has already bid us farewell. I really can't see what the coach has done wrong here.

Let me even ask you, is he even fit?

Kai, this question mehn.

I really feel for him. K.T is one of my best

daveP:
We don't even need him to do all that. His chemistry with Martinelli is enough. Plus he understands how to set off balls so GM can play to his running strength levels. Another is he defends well so such leaky goals like the Fulham goal that Kiwior didn't stop will never happen down that left. That left sef.

If he doesn't invert will it upset the balance, especially when he still makes GM to be on counter mode? It's just for a few games till everyone recovers. He needs minutes

You get bro, Swears Arteta go dey too stubborn she en dey young.

I feel so bad for Tierney tbh.....

I really wish he had some minutes of game time today, make we no lie tho treatment is unfair.

Just remove him out of the squad team is better, Arteta really know how to demoralized senior players, if he flare up like Auba now we will all blame him.

How do u sit everytime not even 5mins game play?

Make we no lie, Tierney in his days is better than Zinchenco


However Skelly impressed me though all his fine performance that I saw was in the midfield more like

mostob:


'we have Josh Nicole who can step up at RB. Heaven is also available to fill in at CB. Lagbaja and Tamedo have been called up to the first team to provide depth. We're not entering the market for another defender. Tomiyasu, Gabriel and Calafiori will be back by February so they will be like new signings'

I swear I thought it was a Wenger press statement

mostob:
I doubt Arteta will field him just like that after almost 4 months out.
Right now, we just need someone who can fix up that RB. MLS will probably play as LB.

If na Wenger now, everywhere will fill up with academy boys 🤣🤣🤣

mostob:
We only have two CBs fit for today's match... Saliba and Kiwior.

We have made an adjustment to the back four nine times this season.

Quite sad

Kieran Tierney should play today please.

Na wa sha

Godstime001:
appreciate your team. u no be chelsea mate na.

Why will you even let spurs net in 3 goals?

BlueRayDick:
I must confess this is the first game I’ve ever watched Kiwior playing 90 minutes + and i never saw one single error/mistake from him.

This statement is what brought me here this morning hahahahaha.

You know when you pep yourself before a task to do your best and luck smiled on your hardworking? That was Kiwior last night , like aside scoring from Corner dude made us forget big Gabby for a night. How was he so perfect this night.

Unfortunately, Zinchenco even made me wish we had started Tierney ahead( I really feel he deserve a chance honestly )

Lush100:
What happened to Partey.

Parrtey playing like he'son drugs or 5 years younger.
I saw some midfield splitting passes you only imagine in your head.
MOTM for.me Partey

And the worst part be say dem wan come leave Jorginho for us that time with plenty motivations

.......
