Jury's still out on Partey let's give him this season plus Arsenal medical team is nothing to write home about conspiracy the way our players both old nd current are always treated in the same spot.

Arsenal problem is deeply no department is free imagine Martinelli also having same injury at same spot...

Those scouts are receiving haram money cause they are not doing anything spectacular to earn such amount.

kokanepyramid:
This Partey verdict is rather too soon, but if it’s true “owo jona”

Roland17:
William Saliba has been nominated Player of the Month for OG Nice. He has had a consistent run over the last two-three games. I hope he continues to improve and get a shot at the first team next season with Arsenal.

TheSuperNerd:
I agree it is.

because if I break it down... Then we have the true picture.

CB options: We look kinda matched. CIV would throw in Boly and Bailly from the EPL. Nigeria would throw in Akpoguma and the incoming Jordan from the Bundesliga + Semi Ajayi in the EPL. Game on!

Other options: They have Diomande, Traore, Deli etc... mostly in Ligue 1 + Belgian league..

Nigeria's other options has: Awaziem from Portugal, Incoming Tosin from Fulham, Ekong of Watford, Balogun of Rangers.



LB options: None of the Ivorian LB/LWB options trump Zaidu. Be it Cornet or Ghislain Konan.

Felix Agu of Bremen is an option when we land him. Calvin of Rangers, Collins and Chima Okoroji are also there.

RB options: They have Aurier and Singo. We got Aina, Ebuehi (one of the best RBs in the Eredivisie) and Ehizibue in the Bundesliga.

So conclusively, I may say we are kinda both matched in defence overall or just slightly stronger depth-wise.

andrewbaba44:
Depth wey no Dey useful or can even win games no be depth

TheSuperNerd:
Believe me when I say CIV wouldn't even survive our own firepower quick enough to be able to make theirs count. We are just better and that cannot be overlooked.

CIV didn't have an inept Rohr but didn't go as far as Rohr did with Nigeria at the last major tournament. Not saying Rohr is great. Bit he did outdo CIV's so called "competent mind".

They don't match us in attack on the overall. We are better. In midfield, we are better.

Central attacking options. NGA >>>> CIV. Their first choice is not even better than Nigeria's Third choice.

Wing options. NGA = CIV.

Midfield. NGA >>>> CIV

Defence. NGA = CIV.

GK (Last line of defence). Their own dey TP Mazembe or so... We have two fine stoppers in Europe playing regularly. He may be experienced but ours are young and talented. But if we talking experience vs experience... Then maybe Akpeyi of Kaizer Chiefs can be brought up.

andrewbaba44:
Nigeria is better than the Ivorian team ,the team got some big names but nothing to write home about

If he had mentioned Algeria ,Senegal I would have kept quiet

BascoVanVeli:
Ugo Njoku not Chikwelu

Roland17:
A players should not bend or set their back for an opponent who is jumping to contest an aerial ball.. it is very dangerous.. he knew what he was doing

andrewbaba44:
Lol you Dey talk like say you no no Wetin Dey Sup

Rohr prefer akpoguma instead of ebuehi and aina

Please why is ehiz not playing for naija yet ?

andrewbaba44:

Dem like anything white skin

Meliforme:
We are talking about the CB role.

I am one of the few that kept saying that Balogun is our best CB, and now It is very clear for all to see.
When it comes to the CB role, i can't comfortably say that Balogun is even better than Akpoguma.
Akpoguma might even turn out to be our best CB.

Roland17:
According to Fabrizo...Odegaard had a productive conversation with Arteta and has chosen Arsenal ahead of R. Sociedad. R. Sociedad have accepted Odegaard will not be joining them. It will be a 6 month loan without an option to make it permanent

I expect things to move pretty fast in the coming hours and hopefully he finds his way to London.

andrewbaba44:
I guess you are more interested in oyinbo wall than football

Balogun yes and akpoguma NO

On form it’s balogun and ajayi

Shebi akpoguma na right back him papa rohr dey play am make e continue there and no near cb

Meliforme:
Balogun - Akpogunna are the best CB's that we have for now. It is their bonding and chemistry that we are yet to witness.

maidaboi:
Do you agree?

sod09:
Matt Ryan is a gunner Out of nowhere this is the kind of deal I want Very good keeper for backup He should start tomorrow no time

BlueRayDick:
God bless u!

Most people are looking at the situation of things now and not the situation of things when the club decided to take that decision. We had so many CB's playing trash at that time, Arteta definitely had a plan of offloading them in the long run hence he got a solid long term replacement in Gabriel.

Papasthapopulous has been relieved of his duty at Arsenal, Mustafi is most likely to follow suit. Chambers may likelg leave the team if his injury woes continue. That leaves us with dem Mari, Luiz, Holding, and Gabriel as senior CB options all things being equal.

If we all talk about how Man city have squad depth and wish arsenal had something similar, then we shouldn't blame Arteta for taking that Gabriel decision

kokanepyramid:
I’m referring to MsGamble not you,

U jumped in to insult now if I respond in kind Fkhalifa will call me a bully.

I hardly insult anyone no matter the argument unless they do first, I’ve engaged Blueray and Roland in opposing views lately and u don’t see us hitting below the belt. You guys will start something u can’t finish then tag me a trouble maker.

kokanepyramid:
You can’t be calling us slow and average and be propping Guen that’s my point with the dude.

Fkhalifa:
I was aware, and some were even thinking it was me disguising.

For me, its his opinion, you can disagree and let it slide, you took it up as usual till some joined and started calling him Guen's McM and names.

That one post does not mean Guen is his favorite player, he could just be dishing an opinion and may not be aware of prior discussions on the boy here.

You did similar to Mostob, the guy had to dead the matter and took a break on here.

I've read several posts on Instagram,YouTube,Twitter and what have you on how they feel Arteta was too hostile to him,be his bane and praising his performance and growth in Germany...
.
It doesn't not make them a Guen biggest fan, some are just ordinary Arsenal fan( who could even prefer Willock to him)with no special feelings for the boy.

Its a free world like you said, atleast let's all take break from the matter and see what the future holds.

She decided to terminate her contract with her Swedish Club because of her studies, she has gained admission to study for her Master's degree... She wishes to continue playing and studying at the same time, thats why she decided to Sign for Lewes FC so she can cope with both as a Professional...
