Your question destroys your intended proposition.

Nwakali is at the bottomless pit in Portuguese league
Folorunsho is in Verona at the bottom of seria A
Mathew plays for Zurich in the Swiss league rated 12th in Europe. Which is lower than the Scottish league.
Alhassan plays in the Belgium super league.

None of these players are exceptional infact Nwakali is very poor quality and earns less than €2000 a week .

There is an intrinsic link between player value and quality. This cannot be denied not always conclusive but definitely indicative at least.

There are no world class players in my opinion in Southampton but there are several high quality players and in the team.The players you mentioned are not exceptional but low quality.

Nwakali who at his peak could not get into Arsenal youth team.

Anytime I asked you this question, you always ran away with your tails between your legs. I repeat, how does what a player earns determine his ability?


Havertz is Arsenal's highest earner but is he their best player? Infact, he won't start if there are no injury issues.

I know beating teams with 8, 9 or 10 goals might have a side effect psychologically but Arteta should think of the positive effects too. That was a rubbish second half. I was expecting us to go for more goals.

E be like White go tey for bench o. Tomiyasu just dey throw pass like prime Pirlo.



How I wish Dubbery is on the bench. Now would be the right time to give him some minutes.



If I'm to sub a player right now, it will be Rice for Elneny...then maybe Saliba for White.

Hopefully. VAR should play a role too so their tears go plenty

Pitso Mosimane in love with our Super Eagles? Should the NFF get him?

Pitso Mosimane;

“To be honest, I would like to coach in the World Cup. I do not choose what comes, I would like to go to the World Cup. South Africa wants to qualify, Nigeria wants to qualify.

"If you have Chukuweze and the boy (Osimhen) playing for Napoli as your striker, I mean really. That Nigerian team is unbelievable. I saw the draw against Lesotho and Zimbabwe. Okay, its football, it happens. But how can politics between the government and the federation derail the team?

"Of course, I want South Africa to win because I am South African. But in reality, I think Nigeria has the team (Players). I really would like to go to the World Cup, but it must be a good team that can compete."

The bolded sha...man is already ruffling some feathers. I doubt NFF will want to go for him.

Na Ogun go kill Newcastle and their followers
Awon werey Dede see them crying over what they are guilty of
Bigger club with bigger money show them level

Na AC Milan I blame. Newcastle wey suppose finish bottom of the group. Useless club

WestHam sef no dey make noise reach these Newcastle fans.


May they continue to be a victim of VAR magomago. Useless club

The way they always try to sneak nwakali into these conversations is funny.

You can sneak in your favorite player too... life no hard bro

| Mikel Arteta on Fabio Vieira’s fitness:

“We’ve got a problem with him. He’s been having some discomfort and we tried to have alternative treatment with him.

“He wasn’t improving so we’ve sent him to see a specialist and that was to get an operation done in his groin, and we did that yesterday [Monday].

“We’re expecting him to be out for weeks now. We don’t expect him to do that [be back this side of the break], so let’s see how he evolves.

“Obviously, the operation was done yesterday, so we’re going to have to wait and see, but we will take it as it comes.” [@arsenal] #afc #arsenalfanaticsnews

Person wey collect red card and walk out of the pitch by himself? How? Just How?

Starboytwo:
the guy no try.. Inside him and berti vogts, choose one.

Both of them na frauds but Peseiro na bigger fraud.

A chart showed creativity was less when Trossard wasn't in the lineup compared to when he was in the lineup. That says a lot about us this season. Another person that spikes creativity is going to Afcon soon. He literally brings the Left wing to full threat when he is in the lineup compared to when he isn't around.

Whatever the style is, we may need to get an actual AM too.

Odegaard is a major culprit here. We just need him to add more creativity to his goals. He need to stop playing for Saka and start playing his own game. This will even reduce the marking on Saka. The other end is not fixed yet. Vieira is creative but not capable of influencing game on his own yet. Havertz may play a lot of roles but creativity is not really one of them. Trossard is actually better in the box than outside. Maybe when Timber comes back, Zinchenko can move there.

Starboytwo:
So no body Is supporting peseiro in this group.

Not even 1 person?

You can be the person

Am I the only one who think the team has regressed creative-wise.

daveP:
If he can run and bully defenders, he's welcome. We should just stop the calculator situations when teams have figured us out by doing something totally different upfront. If na to dey allow them press us and we use counter, I'm in. The elements of surprise goals is reducing. Hopefully we get it back up.

He should be a good goalscorer too.

BlueRayDick:
I have watched Arteta for 3 years now and I can say the normal proper 9 is not the kinda striker her prefers to play. Just like Guardiola whom he trained under; he prefers strikers who are industrious, track back to midfield and can play with the ball at their feet. Obviously that was why he signed Jesus from City and that was why he promoted Nketiah instead of signing a proper 9 when he had the chance.

But then, they said change is the only that thing that is constant in life; I would like for Arteta to surprise us and go for a proper striker sha.

Even Pep knew it is not more working and went ahead to buy Haaland. I think Arteta will sign his own soon. Everything points to Toney this January.

iamoyindamola:
Initially what i thought arteta would have done in the summer was to convert jesus to winger and get xhaka replacement plus a good striker since we lost balogun but i was suprised to see kaikai the 3 in 1 player
What ever deal we will be doing with juve for partey we better include vlahovic in it, i no trust toney or osihmeh abeg

Which Vlahovic? What's the difference between vlahovic and Nketiah? Abeg, if we want buy striker, we should buy a reliable one.

daveP:
The Jesus situation is becoming a very big problem. If we want to win majors this season, we will need our own pointman banging in goals as a proper 9 should do. Yes, we got 88 last season. But we need to consolidate on that as everyday can't be Christmas. We can't win majors with a false 9, an off and on 9, injured 9, blank 9. We need a 9 with a Kane and Cavani mentality. If possible, one that will distract players from marking Saka and Nelli.

I personally want a 9 that will turn those 2 on the wings to crossers of the ball, racking up assists as a result. My pov from last season is what Saka is just voicing out now.

We can't continue like this. Especially if we have the UCL in sight with seriousness. Jesus can even deputize Nelli on that wing since most of the games he's started, he ends up being dangerous from there instead from inside the box.


We need a proper 9.


False 9
False 8
None can get us to compete with the UCL big boiz. Nit especially when two of our major goal contributors are on some drought levels due to serious man marking or daftness in decision. A 9 will boost this team's superiority in ways we haven't seen in a while. Let's get one now!!!

Nice point. I agree with you. We need that tall and powerful striker that knows how to score goals. From reports, it seems the club is working on Toney.

bakynes:
27m actually, they paid 3m upfront for the loan and will pay the remaining 24m either this January winter transfer window or the summer transfer window.

Oh..it is true. Thank you for the correction.

#Arsenal legend Ian Wright on Declan Rice: “That guy is captain, that guy is a captain in the way he’s playing.


“And I’m not being biassed or anything, but I was saying to a couple of West Ham fans at the Premier League, and I wind them up all the time.


“I said, ‘Do you know something, I feel like we robbed you, I feel like we should give you an extra £20m’.


“I’m going to give you an extra £20m because it’s making me, I feel guilty that we’ve only got him for £100m.”

That second picture is giving me one weird feeling. That is quite dangerous. Our girl should be careful abeg.

Fkforyou:
IMO and from my stand point of view.

Arteta was trying to push Ramsdale to be better, however he didn’t anticipate Ramsdale reaction to the decision.

His intention was good but the execution was poor.

So he did get it wrong. It will take until end of the season when Raya leaves for him to rectify his error. But until then, Ramsdale also need to buckle up and fight for his place.

What Arteta needs to do is bring back some stability to our goal keeping position and that’s solely on Arteta.

Arteta has 70% of the blame while Ramsdale has 30%. So yes, Arteta is at Fault here.

Come to think of it, why not work on your Goal keeper directly in a gradual manner if you want some improvements to his game? Take Gabriel for example, Baba was known to be rash and aggressive but has improved his game immensely this season so what makes him think that Ramsdale can’t improve too, is it not by game time a player can improve? Why is Ramsdale not given the same amount of chances he gave to Havertz?

I might not be a Stan of Arteta like I used to, in the previous seasons but I have to say this, he is biased in his player management, simple. If Arteta likes you, you are good in his eyes no matter what everyone else thinks, and if he isn’t sold on you, then he doesn’t care how hard you try, you won’t make his team. I guess that’s his own flaw, even though sometimes it turns out good for us, take for example the turn around of Xhaka.

P.S na God save us for Saliba issue, if not na PSG or Madrid that guy go Dey play for by now.

Raya is staying. His deal was supposed to be permanent but due to FFP, both clubs had to settle for loan.



I think the total transfer fee is around 25m.

If that's not hype then what is it?

Tag the person here. Infact, send screenshot or quote the person.

Shegzdave:
Issokay Arteta didn’t handle that situation well

That is fact Chief.

Shegzdave:
That same Raya that made us almost concede a stupid goal against city and also concededed a funny goal from Mudryk is who you’re advocating for?

Arteta no really try for this matter, moreover Teta is someone I like and I support him but on this matter, he no try.

Next time, don't just jump into argument without understanding the context. Receipts plenty on this thread, you can go search for them. I've never support any of those two against each other due to how error prone they are.



A nice performance from Ramsdale yesterday was all I wanted because truly he contributed immensely to where we are now. But what did he do, he almost gifted them a goal yesterday. Now, iamoyindamola said Arteta is to blame and I disagreed. A goalkeeper who is fighting to get his spot back shouldn't be making mistakes like that of yesterday.
What is so hard to understand here?

iamoyindamola:
H2h how many mistakes have raya that concentrate for 90minutes conceded this season
Lets compare with ramsdale own last season and this season

Make I give you example sef... That Lens match that we lost, Raya was the sole culprit. His two mistakes cost us two goals.



The Ramsdale wey una dey advocate for, Did his performances against Westham and Brentford shows he is ready to fight for his spot?

iamoyindamola:
Do you want me to list the mistakes arteta made last season that caused us too?

He might have made plenty of mistakes but his employers are assured he is working according to the plan he gave them, why sack him?



A player confidently said it on live TV that he find it difficult to concentrate for full 90 minutes on the pitch, how do you think that would make you feel as a coach? Let us remove the fact that Raya has always been Arteta's choice way before he signed Ramsdale. That statement from Ramsdale already justified his relegation to the bench.
