Everyone (almost) knows Chambers plays that Rb over Bellerin under Arteta.

And don't be surprised to see Laca and Auba uptop again with Auba shunted out wide.

To be sincere, 1½ season plus into Arteta reign, I still don't know our standard 11

I'd have preferred Lokonga - Partey, but then, I'm not Arteta
Me too lokonga over Xhaka.... if that boy start like 8 games straight. He will be a force.

The default with Arteta is not know when to start Lacazette over Auba. His selection is always one thing off all the time

Partey is injuring prone and we can't hope on xhaka
It will suicidal to put xhaka with aurora
2 soft holding midfielders
I no dey remember Xhaka like this.... but another defensive minded midfielder is too much abeg

Barcelona want a CF, they are looking at our 2 useless senior CFS
I think they will pick auba, we should be able to do business with them even if it's loan with option to buy and we collect coutinho.
Then we buy cm probably bissouma or berge or aurora as I am tired of seeing xhaka starting for us.
We actually have nothing to lose this season, no Europe football it's an advantage for us but we are messing it up




We should sell lacazette to spuds too jare since kane is leaving grin grin
Abeg not any Berge or Bissouma... we have somehow gathered too many average defensive minded midfielders with little creativity. What happened to getting someone like Cazorla again,that is why I am a huge fan of Aour.


We dont even have identity again.

Another thing I am concern about is the easy way coaches identify our tactics and cripple it with ease. It was obvious Brentford studied our game pattern and utilized it well on us

We need more CBs!!!!!!!
Honestly speaking we need to sell all of Mari, Holding and Chambers ,recall Saliba if we can and get another defender.

Mari was an eyesore yesterday, I cant fault White he was like the only defender others were too absent minded.

Yesterday honestly I love the result because over the years our board and management only procrastinate till they see bad result. Arteta is not our saviour he is more interested in building defence but if a team mount pressure on you how can you attack them.

I for one was very happy when we wanted to sell Xhaka cos we always play defensive minded midfielders who are still average. It is a shame that lokonga was more visible in midfield over Xhaka. I dont know how difficult it is for Arteta and the board to realise that Xhaka have no love for arsenal.
Aour is a creative midfielder but no they will not see him. We have been pursing Odegaard since day 1 like our life depend on him.

I said it here once and I will say it again, we need a striker ( please not some Abraham abeg) laca and Auba are leaving on past glory right now. Why do we keep players that are of no relevance like Nikethai . Arteta lack ambition and yesterday arsenal was looking soooooo ordinary.

It is sad but I feel that fans at the stadium should be vocal more now.

Unfortunately mehn it is hard to leave Arsenal. I honestly don't think Arteta love arsenal enough

I have this strong feeling that most of this want away players especially Lacazette and Bellerin may be sold towards the closing time of transfer. My fear is panic buying

I was so surprised seeing arsenal not trying hard for Ryan. Sometimes, our priorities are just so damn misplaced. 20m or less would have gotten Ryan at least, since he was already a bench warmer and wasn't seeing regular play time at Brighton. The club and some decisions sef.

I don't too know Guimares tho, but I heard he's a good midfielder who can partner Partey, thus I feel he's very needed. Same with Odegaard, even tho I would have preferred Olmo grin.




Guess what? Ryan was a free transfer to Real Sociedad
I that list sef, Aouar to me is the last option

I like Odegaard cos settling down will not pose a big issue, and dude is good he just need a good home. If Arsenal can pull an Odegaard, Guilmares and Martinez deal omo... we dey complete oh cos nothing should stop us from clinching a champions league spot aside Managerial lapses.

I still dont know why we want to spend 30million plus on a back up keeper?

When are we doing sales sales ,hahaha but a serious club should sell Eleney,Niles, kola ,Torreria,xhaka, Willian, Even if it is 10-15million, sell. ( who if u ask me Nelson should be Pepe back up , While Marteneli should be Saka Back up) , willock and lokonga and azeez can stay back and then Lacazette but I prefer lacazette to Auba

To get good 2nd choice gk no too hard sha

But if you're to choose two from that list, who would be your choice?
Neto is okay as 2nd choice, why do we want to pay 30m plus for 2nd choice. How did we even allow Ryan out of our hand.

I will pick Odeegard and Guimares

Where we Bleep up was Buendia but I believe the have a reason, I think Odegaard is possible though Nd I like him. I love his synergy with other players, I love the understanding with Rowe too

Is odegaard possible? You see why I said this club dey bobo us?

As for Maddison, I'm still feeling it as rumor, cos I've not seen any tangible movement from arsenal so far..

But we watch sha(fingers crossed)
70million plus for Maddison? That is too much. Odeegaard is possible and more over I feel that Madrid style of play wouldn't even suit him. Can Madrid change formation for him?

Lol...well onto the next one, I say no to Ramsdale, I no trust anything English but I dont know how this man is paying less concern to creativity. Dont think any top target can come through now, which number Maddison wan wear? I am just trying to imagine Rowe getting injured or been like 4games out

Spy360:
Listen and listen good to avoid heart break. We are not buying any midfielder again. Xhaka is staying, even Elneny will wound down his contract as there are no suitors, Willock has suitors but the club wants to keep him as they can't buy a replacement, Torriera is the most likely to leave but he will have to leave for chicken money. Forget Aoaur, or Maddison. Even Odegaard will have to come on loan or remain with Madrid. Madrid wants to sell for as low as 40m, but Arsenal does not want to buy, he has big salary.
Hahahahahahhaahahhaha.... heartbreak after so many years, no now. Nothing concern arsenal fan and heartbreak

Where's that guy that compile our transfer list
Please add Bruno guimares(23yo) he's currently playing in the Olympics for Brazil
As we no fit get locatelli he's the next option but I will prefer thiago mendes instead just that he's older 28yo
Also add our home boy odeegaard grin
I love Bruno Gulmares , very combative and his passes eh precise . Is worth it but can Lyon sell him and Aour?


Finally sha, looking at that midfield, we have too many players yet we dont have players ( Xhaka, Partey, Lokonga,Willock,Torriera,Eleney,Azeez and Niles)

Please dear arsenal sell Eleny. Partey, bruno,Lokonga,Williock, Azeez and Maybe Xhaka is wnough

3 years? With this kain Haram wen we dey endure? Make I kukuma leave that one.
As for recruiting younger players, I have no problems with it, after all I am huge supporter of our Hale End products.
However, will they remain 23 forever? Shebi dem go grow? Does that mean we will never pursue an established star player who is older than 23 because Arteta lacks the man management skills?
I have been reading how some of us have chosen to blame Guen/ Saliba and other you g players who had personality clashes with Arteta and I am using that as a huge yardstick for calling for his sack. What is ESR/ Saka clash with him? What will happen? We would trade them? He has to earn his respect from his players.. nothing more.
I can never fault Saliba for anything, Arteta own that blame intoto. Even Mourinho could have handled him better , Even Guen

Lol..... nna I misplaced my glasses oh been writing anyhow but u sha got the message, Auba is behind his prime, he put zero efforts, waste too many chances at the same time. He is not even inspiring at all

Our club should please look for way to comot lacazzette from arsenal na...

I'm afraid the poor scoring form of Auba last season might appear this season again. We need a good striker to easily transition balogun into the team.
Dont be afraid Jodera, Auba will definitely not score more than 10 goals. Been shouting it here oh, finishing is an issue for us .we need a striker. To me self , I will sell Auba and Nekiath. Auba is not inspiring at all.i love laca , he sort of have a connection with the players esp the young ones

Let's get over it. Even they know it was a silly mistake. Now Leno is leaving and it's getting sour the more. Bad taste indeed. Had we sold Leno instead for 15m, we'd been smiling now. I hope we get a good fee.
Lol, time to move on from that, till they proof otherwise, Enemies have taken over Arsenal FC. Meanwhile, this Aour guy is more of a CM than AM. Wouldn't be a bad partner for Partey

Blame aubameyang man missed More than 3 good sweet chances to score
u





I said this thing before, Auba is finished, Laca is not consistent. Let us be truth, second half , Saka, Pepe, ESR and Odegaard created lots of chances but poor finishing. The way Auba sweat during match he is suppose to be like 3rd striker now. U cant even trust Laca . I wish Folarin Balogun will just raise the occasion cos Nekiath na another Benteke

Jodera:
our club can't convince a player. Not good in negotiations at all. The only time we'll mostly sign a player is if the player wants to come and no other club is bidding. Absence of those two and the player wouldn't be ours.

As for the bolded, I just know say na scam. In fact, I don't think we can pull any top player from any top EPL side(including Everton and Leicester). That's how low we've sunk
Honestly, I have never seen that Maddison happening, somehow my mind is giving me this vibe that Aour may be a late buy.

I still wish and pray that Ben white deal is hijacked, I am yet to understand the idea behind buying another defender when you are not playing Europe or selling the ones already available.

Even the clean up we were suppose to do, we are still here. The likes of Kola, Bellerin, Eleny , Willian , Torreria and Lacazette (if u ask me self add Auba) should have been sold by now.



Wait let me go back to the midfield, imagine a sale of Xhaka and no replacement, it will now be willock that will play with Partey? Presently our midfielders of the.likes of Xhaka and Torreria move is Wiliock, Lokonga, Eleny and Partey. This is a direct insult to Partey honestly.
