Carlo Ancelotti was reportedly left ‘disappointed’ by Arsenal’s decision to appoint Mikel Arteta instead of him.

The Italian is expected to take charge of Everton after his sacking from Napoli, but it is understood the Gunners were his first choice.

According to Italian journalist Fabio Santini, talking to 7 Gold’s Il Processo show, Ancelotti had agreed in principle to take over at the Emirates only for Arsenal chiefs to pull back and instead appoint Arteta.

If he will join chelsea then player like batshuayi will be living

Dude will cost nothing less than 40 million euros
Osimhen shouldn't try joining Chelsea ooo.

Left for me, I would even rate Batshuayi higher than Tammy Abraham if given the opportunity to do so.

What he has been lacking is playing time as what has been working for Tammy is the championship experience with Lampard in the dough out

Arsenal need defenders.

Ndidi will end up playing as a CB for them.
Arsenal needs defenders but they haven't been lacking in that department though.

The problem has been their deployment. I mean wrong selection every now and then leading up to the continuous inconsistency being witnessed.

A Wilfred Ndidi would displace the trio of Xhaka, Torreira and Guendouzhi as being used in that position he is presently starring for Leicester City absolutely

I commend independent thought.

And even if I don't agree l can appreciate your position.

In my opinion l am not able to say which position Iwobi clearly excells in. I find him to be drifting between the two positions as AM or as a RW.

But without clearly staking a claim as being totally outstanding in one. I find him to have very good days as a winger and then good days as AM. But without mastering either position with total excellence as his own.

You could say he is versatile.
It's because[b]Iwobi[/b] is not that much of a classy player like I always maintain but the only thing that he has going well with him is that he has been performing for the Super Eagles of Nigeria over and against his clubside output

And that is how he gets his ratings by me which of course is the most important -The National team output as a whole

He should stay at Lille till the end of the season.
I really agree with this.

Liverpool is really a consideration but Chelsea and Spurs are a no go areas for him ooo

Because Abraham and Kane are the untouchables.

Even a Batshuayi will bench him at Chelsea as far as Frank Lampard is concerned

Not to talk of a Kane that has conceded and confessed his love and admiration for Mourinho while not also forgetting that they are English players too

Arteta Identifies Key Staff He Wants at Arsenal and there’s a Nigerian on Board
By Adebanjo - December 18, 2019



With Mikel Arteta’s return to Arsenal almost certain, there are reports the Spaniard will raid Manchester City’s backroom and Support team as he looks to hit the ground running at Emirates.



Arteta who is now the front runner for the Managerial position at Arsenal is looking to bring in one of Pep Guardiola’s assistant at City’s Rodolfo Borrell.



The Spaniard is also keen to have Man City talent-spotter Sam Fagbemi join him.



As per Sami Mokbel [Daily Mail] Fagbemi, 25, currently leads City’s youth scouting strategy in the south, working closely with head of academy recruitment and talent.



The City scout has been responsible for a number of southern-based youngsters joining the Etihad academy in recent months, something that has not gone unnoticed by the Gunners.



Fagbemi played a key role in City’s successful moves for Millwall teenagers Sam Edozie, 16, and Darko Gyabi, 15, in the summer.


Josh Wilson-Eshbrand, 16, joined from West Ham and Ben Knight, 17, signed from Ipswich in the summer – two moves that were fronted by Fagbemi.



City’s ability to lure players north from clubs that are closer in proximity to Arsenal came as a frustration to the Gunners, and convinced academy director Per Mertesacker to hasten a significant shake-up of the the club’s youth recruitment personnel.

TheGoodJoe:
I agree. Ancelotti is the master of brilliant attacking play. I remember the game he lost to Mourinho in the Champions league, I think Quarter finals second leg. I keep hammering it was the best attacking display I ever saw in a game before the rise of Villas-Boas Porto.

I think Iwobi will enjoy Ancelotti when it comes to refining his play and making him understand his role in the midfield. He will get clearly defined instructions and know why he is suited to play a particular way. In turn mastering this will see an improved Iwobi.

Ancelotti is definitely one of the grand masters of the game and played a role in making quality midfield talents become even better with the likes of Pirlo, Kaka and lately Fabian Ruiz who Ancelotti improved by teaching him how to use space to excel and know the importance of understanding different positions on the field.

As TheSuperNerd pointed he did a master work on Mikel Obi who became the passmaster of the EPL. Exciting times ahead for Everton and Iwobi.
Let's not get too excited with Ancelotti nay IWOBI at Everton though @ isan because

1. Just like someone (I think subzero047) said in his unpopular opinion that IWOBI of 2015 is better than that of 2019 which I frankly agreed with

2. Iwobi was better in the above because he worked under Arsene Wenger who is like Ancelotti in terms of exposure and experience but with more quality players than Everton possess at present

3. With reference to 2 above, See pellegrini at West Ham United as compared to Manchester City days with respect to the anticipated Ancelotti in Everton as against AC Milan and Chelsea days. Everything still boils down to the quality of players on parade at the various points in time

4. Overall, a boost in the quality of the entire Everton squad would do the magic for both Everton and Iwobi and not necessarily the individuality of the Managerial hoodoos of Carlo Ancelotti

Super Eagles Players Want Rohr To Give Them License To Attack More – We Are Too Conservative
December 4, 201901676

Six current players of the senior national team of Nigeria have voiced out their preferred style of play as opposed to what coach of the team Gernot Rohr set them up to play.


Rohr is known to favour a defensive approach which has so far proved to be effective for Nigeria but some of the players are unhappy as they believe it has limited their contributions particularly with the way they are all used to playing at their clubs.

” I love to join the attack despite the fact that I’m a defender but in the national team the coach don’t usually like us to overlap. So most times we play just above the centre circle. It has limited me severally “, one of the players told Owngoalnigeria.com.

Another who is a midfielder in the team believe the issue of lack of creativity is due to the fact that they usually have few options when in possession of the ball in the opponent’s half due to how they are set up to play.


” Most times we are forced to play the ball sideways and backwards due to lack of options in attack. It’s something that has to do with our approach to games and it will be nice if we play to our strength due to the amount of forwards we have who are doing well at their clubs “, he told Owngoalnigeria.com.

Their sentiment was shared by four other players and according to the players they have discussed the tactics at their meeting but most times they have to play to the instruction of the coach who is known for favouring a defensive style of play.
Abeg make them leave matter for Mathias ooo.

Which one is being forced to play sideways and backwards due to lack of options in the attack again?

Aren't they Eleven Players every now and then?

And they still concede early Goals?

Does the Coach asked them not to open up to create spaces and options in the attack line?

When their adrenaline rush wouldn't even allow for the compact attacking Football that they are being asked to play?

Abi which Coach want to always concede and not want to win as well?

Maybe na one of those bench warmers dey talk sef undecided

baba Neymar is never overrated...captaining Brazil national team, scoring almost 70 international goals, close to a 100 cap and still just 27, he hasn't really played for almost 2 years now... Infact his last "real match" was for Barca against psg in the ucl, 2 seasons ago, the comeback....

Too many kicks and foul against him are taking it's toll no doubt.... After Ronaldo and Messi, his shoe is the biggest... no defender can hold a 70% fit Neymar... He is just so unlucky.. .
That's why I said he is being overrated while not denying the fact that He is equally a super Player in his own right too.

Remember the hyping that he would be the one Player to break the MESSI-CR7 duo-poly during his peak period but has he really achieved that?

Of course NOT. Has he ever won any FIFA best player or the Balon d'or? He is definitely still to do both or either of the two.

Captaining BRAZIL National Team is no achievement actually as that was purely because of the retirement of most of the Big Players couple with the Darth of football players in the game presently too.

The MSN reference in BARCELONA made him think that he has arrived thus making him shift base to PSG Which unfortunately for him was spurred on by money with injury being his biggest nightmare.

So my reference is not crucifying him for being decent as a player. Instead, it's the failure to attain the hyping as another gem from Brazil to beat and surpass MESSI and RONALDO

Don't let me start on Ronaldo... Fine he is one balon door b Messi, but he has conquered Europe... Messi has never conquered South America, talk less of the world...
I wonder ooo

The trophy is just being used for face saving indeed

Cup na cup oooo but considering his status in world Football and the accompanying celebration even when it's not the first time of winning it?

Or is it because he didn't score in the 2017 Victory?

Or is it because he is apparently at the twilight of his Football career?

Or simply to make a case of deucing the comparison with CR7?

I just don't understand because there was no pictures and funfair as we have this year in 2017 despite the Match being played in the same SAUDI ARABIA like in 2018 when BRAZIL won

But also remember lionel messi is the best play maker ahead of d bruyne, that should tell you aot about messi
Well my etc has already captured MESSI too while not also forgetting BENZEMA among others.

It's equally the kind of Player BENZEMA is too that is making REAL MADRID still thick till date else they would have been forgotten by now after the exit of CR7.

I don't think BARCELONA can withstand the absence of MESSI right now though for he is everything BARCELONA is presently

O pari
grin even if that is counted at least it involved more than one country na unlike the annual international friendly between BRAZIL ARGENTINA ONLY that has failed to hold on 2 or 3 previous occasions with BRAZIL winning the most of it?

It is called Superclasico trophy because it involves only the 2 Best out of the 10 Nations continent of SOUTH AMERICA na.

So It would always be a BRAZIL or ARGENTINA Winner and that makes it a no competition to me ooo shocked
