He might be included in the Europa Squad.

Jodera:
I solemnly agree with this cos even I wouldn't want ozil in the first 11.

But I feel he can be good enough for cup competitions and Europa(group stage). Totally freezing him out cos he wants to "honour" his contract is unfair.

Moreover, I don't think it's his attitude that caused it. Before the pandemic, he and Arteta were very close. On many situation, Arteta talked how ozil was important to the team. How that changed so instantly is beyond me. Ozil himself acknowledged that Arteta didn't even give him any reason nor talk to him before freezing him out of the squad.

Me I'm thinking it's from the "ogas at the top" who wants to punish him for maybe not agreeing to cut down his wage due to corona issues

Your last paragraph might be the main reason.
Anyway, we are just one game into the season, let us just observe as e dey go...

Jodera:
But realistically, who's at fault between Arsenal and Ozil?
Ozil says he's an arsenal player who still has a contract and he says he wants to finish it.
Arsenal says they don't need ozil and that he must go...(as they no longer want his services)
Ozil always reiterates that he's always available and would love to play for arsenal wen called upon.
Arsenal says NO, he must go, and Ozil blatantly refused.


Without sentiments or emotions, who do you think is right?
Arsenal or Ozil?


I will definitely go for Ozil.
I mean, if you don't want to play a player in the league, how about europa league and cup competition?
He can be used for cup depth instead of just freezing him out. I know his wage is much, but then he just have only 1 yr on his contract.
If the situation is turned, (the club needing him and Ozil saying he wants to go while under contract), I'm sure most of us will call him traitor.

I understands your POV bro but there are some things going on within that we the fans may not know. We all know Ozil is kinda egoistic. Maybe he failed to adhere to the coach's instructions in training or he exhibited his usual 'I can't kill myself' attitude.
To be frank,our current formation and playing pattern can not accommodate him.

jihday:
So he'll bench Evans or Soyuncu for Ndidi? Football doesn't work like that sir

Lolz... I don't trust those coaches sha . Anyway, make we dey look am.

daveP:
Why is it looking like two key mid are dulling? Iwobi now Ndidi

My brother, let's just be observing. The season just commenced.

andrewbaba44:
They won’t play him at CB once those ones returns

Who is their DM ? Hamza

Maybe if they have a Kante and casemerio then he will be converted to a CB

Ok

Subzero47:
I'm very sure we are getting top 25 this year if not from the friendlies then from the double header against Sierra leone

Yea..

barackodam:
It simply can not happen because they don't have a decent DM. Hamza is shît

They can't keep playing him at CB while playing a shītty Choudhury at DM

OK

Subzero47:
If we beat Tunisia and Ivory coast we are looking at top 25

then if we can beat Sierra Leone both legs ,we should be edging closer.
I'm loving this permutation .

daveP:
A few winning streaks, especially at home will help.

Sure.

daveP:
As Komekn said, he can do online version. If Arsenal get unlucky and desperate, they should get sense o, if Partey is far from smoking range.

If na Arteta want partey, no qualms. I trust that bobo

Subzero47:
If we are top 20 by Qatar 2022 we have a very good chance of going to the knockout stages

Top 20? we better start some serious unbeaten run then.

daveP:
serious. Best of luck to his edu

Na so. That degree must obey.

Utonwanne:
The academy guys are simply not good enough and Yes! The excuse is valid.

You think if he put up two MOTM performance before Evans and Morgan come back,the coach will be willing to move him back to CM especially if one of the latter are not up to pace early?
Anyway,make we dey look am

Subzero47:
That was some years ago, the Brazilians have now left

ok

barackodam:
You don't have to be mischievous.

We don talk am for here, Evans is suspended, Morgan is injured.

So, how is he being converted to CB when he's merely helping out his team in a position they're short on players?

Even though that statement was pun intended but that excuse is flimsy. Are you now saying there are no decent defenders in their academy.

charlesemeka85:
So he shud move cus gueye n partey moved? Are there offers for him or he shud just force a move away from Leicester?

Are you talking of the same gueye psg wants to discard by any means this summer?

I don't see ndidi leaving Leicester in a season or 2 because he signed a long term recently and also studying for a degree in the city so better get use to that.

You can join Madrid on his behalf

You really should stop venting your frustration on the wrong quarter. How does Partey and Gueye affect Ndidi's transfer? Is it wrong to expect him to move to a better club ?
Dey take am easy and quit nagging.

Subzero47:
FC Ifeanyi Ubah at one time signed six Brazilians

wow... that means if our league can improve, we might get to see more foreigners.
Impressive!

BascoVanVeli:
Oga we had both a Brazilian coach and player at our club 2 seasons ago. Matter fact the coach still coaches in Nigeria.

Really? I don't really follow local football like that. And I think this particular Brazilian is a bit popular.

oloriooko:
No! The pro-Ndidi move says he must stay in Leicester as he's proving local champion among average players

Dude needs to move. We are still here hoping he can improve yet the 'Greatest tactician' is trying to convert him to a CB.

charlesemeka85:
Must ndidi move because partey is rumored to join Bayern?

Bro..Gueye moved to PSG and now Partey is wanted by both arsenal and Bayern yet Ndidi is still at leceister .
As a Nigerian, this is a source of concern na

Heard one Brazilian, Lucas by name is in Ilorin to complete his move to kwara United.
If na true, forget it. ..he is on an excursion visit.

Bayern Munich have made their move for Thomas Partey. (@David_Ornstein)
Thomas Partey is adamant that he'll either be an Atletico Madrid player or he'll join Arsenal this window. (@David_Ornstein)

Ndidi why not move?

Spy360:
50m is too expensive for a 27yo Ghanaian. We should be clear on what we need. We need a solid ball playing, tackling DM not Partey per se. If we don't have the money to throw away then we should be looking at other options. I believe Edu is smart enough to know this anyways.

I concur.

Icon4s:
Growing up those days, the sitting room was never big enough for us to celebrate a goal. We usually ran out into the passage way and run back in again

Some times we even ran out of the house if it was a BIG GOAL.

How many can relate

Chief sir, thank you for taking us back the memory lane.
I think our old papas are more passionate than we the young fellas when it comes to SE matches.
I can still remember my old man sharing drinks when Iwobi scored the winner against Cameroon at AFCON '19.
I even remember our qualifier match against same Cameroon when we hammered them 4-0 ,this very old man was shouting and jumping screaming goal when Mikel scored only to ask me if it is naija that truly scored. Lolz.
There is even a particular man that can pay the viewing fee for up to 10 peoples whenever the SE is playing.
I must admit nowadays, football is now watched by impassionate 'Gambling ' youth . Lolz
Dem go score your team and you go scream happily just because your enter.

kennysville:
So here is a question for everyone. Which do we prefer? Iwobi playing all games from the wings or him waiting on the bench to play as the AM? Because apparently, the coach doesnt see him as a 10. Isnt it better if he could make the wing play his own by working on it since that seems to be the only vacant slot for him?

I would love iwobi in the middle yes! But he hasnt been an AM in a long while. At least for the last 4years, he has been on the wings. While I dont doubt his ability to play in the middle, if he hasnt done it in a long while, his abilities will atrophy in the said position.

If he won't get game time in AM , I think he should grab the wing opportunity with both hands . LW preferably.

pu7pl3:
Watch their interviews or whenever they are attending events and they are not in character, you would see the difference

OK sir

ChrisKels:
Self delusion 101

what?! this is Emotional prejudice

seankafor:
or maybe its one if his(neymar) numerous antics

I wouldn't rule that out too.

seankafor:
Neymar yaff vex..

Didnt known he us black btw

That Marseille player did something like this to messi when he was at Espanyol. I think he called messi dwarf and some other foul names then. Typical of the GOAT,he just smile and went his way. Such a cool dude
As for racism,players just have to develop thick skin. I know it is difficult but that is the only way racism can be curb in football.

pu7pl3:
That means you probably thought the Undertaker was real too and maybe Kane was really a demon

No no no.... you still don't understand me bro. Just imagine the way Nikki do run,jump,shout,rotate her head like a drunk fellow. .
Nakamura too eh , he rarely talk or show some sane swagger like his fellow male wrestlers. His posture at times is just somehow.
I find both of them weird .

pu7pl3:
lol are you serious

sure man. Of all the wrestlers, both are kinda different with their characteristic and overblown inhumane demeanor.
