If Portugal get their acts together, them fit win world cup very soon with their current generation of talents...


God knows I would run mad if we bring in guys like Ruben Neves, Ruben Dias, and Diego Jota...



All this guy's are still very young and have a lot of upside..

Bro, France and Spain still have better talents than Portugal. But in football, anything can happen.

Keky:
Musti out, Tierney and new CB in, we feast. 10/10 window this.

My only fear is that Mustafi will do strong head and say he is not going anywhere. Omo, the guy should go permanently Abeg. Loan is not good, unless there is a mandatory must buy option.

dopeJemi:
So I guess Maguire to United is a done deal. His Agent recently posted a picture of Man United's mini Trophy Cabinet on his Insta story.

Honestly don't know how I feel about this

If you don't mind, my club can offer you a World Class center back. A world champion. Good in the air. Good with both feet. His decision making is one of a kind. Composure? Extraordinary. Better than Jones and Smalling? Of course. Will he decided big games? Definitely.

Who is this fine man you ask, well, he is none other than, the one, the only - Shkodran Mustafi

You can get this beast for only €30m. If fact, if you buy him, we'll add an Egyptian phenomenon to the deal. Free of charge. What are you waiting for?!!!

To be honest, I don't understand why some United fans don't want Dybala. Apart from last season, the man has been really good. I understand the fear that he may be on the decline, or that he won't adapt to the EPL's physicality, but still, the guy is a really good player.

An upgrade on Lukaku? Definitely not. Lukaku scores more goals, but Dybala could be a perfect 10 for United.

Straight swap is a very good deal. Paying 20-30 too is nonsense, especially after the season Dybala had last time.

I'm getting to like this guy (Pepe) the more I watch his highlights. The boy is fast and he can dribble with his speed, too.

eph12:
Sanchez was someone that has performed very well in the epl before United bought him. Torres is still fresh in our minds

There is no point arguing further. Whether or not we admit it, the transfer is a risk. But, it's a risk worth taking. Good or bar, we'll finally have a natural winger who could become World Class.

eph12:
You rubbished Pepe because of his national team, that's why I asked about Zaha international career.

I have nothing against Zaha, I just wanted you to see that that is not it

I said what I've seen of Pepe so far, he is not worth 80m. Everybody that watched afcon knew he played poorly. At least with Zaha, we know he can handle EPL. I'm not saying Pepe can't, but it's a big gamble (the same if we have bought Zaha). Either way, let's see what will happen. I'm hopeful.

P.s. I'm still looking for where I 'rubbished' Pepe in my post.

eph12:
Aside crystal palace, where has Zaha performed? What has he done in his national team?

I get what you're saying, but not everyone performs for their national team. I don't know if you don't like Zaha, but be honest, the guy is a very good player. Yes, he does not score goals like modern day wingers, but there is a whole lot more to his game.

If you watch him against the big 6, you'll how much he terrorizes their defense.

Fkhalifa:
Baba how far from YouTube, I can't still say anything from what I've seen

The guy is good, but not that good. But, he definitely has the potential to turn into a beast. He played during the last afcon, but he was very poor. Hopefully, it's just a one off. If he adapt like Mane, then Arsenal will have a fantastic player on their books.

But, I wished we signed Zaha. That guy is a beast, but definitely not worth £80m.

To be honest, this Pepe signing does not excite me. From what I've seen of the guy, he does not worth that money. Well, Arsenal scouts know more about football than me, and I'm willing to give the guy a chance.



At least, we will finally have a natural winger.

hulk616:
why are you apologizing ? DC has no plan even YouTubers have better plan than DC.

CosmicPhoenix:

the Inhumans would have worked perfectly on the big screen,Marvel were not patient and it failed

Exactly. The stuff pain me gan... Hopefully, they'll still make a movie about them (unlikely tho, but I'm hopeful).

hulk616:
all these potential one off movies are my fears. I don't have problem with shang-chi, that movie will produce some fantastic fight scenes and also Asia will make it a box office successful.

Well, let's wait and see. To be honest, I don't know anything about the eternals, so I don't really have any expectations. The same with Shang-Chi (I don't want to see realistic fights in this one, I want to see over the top Martial arts nonsense ...)

I'm most excited for DS 2(the title is awesome), Blade and Black Widow (I like agent Romanoff ).

I wish Marvel didn't cancel the Inhumans movie, and I wish they didn't do that nonsense ABC show. Missed potentials. I really thought they would carry phase 4.

hulk616:
age of Ultron fed off agents of shield, captain marvel fed off agents of shield.

Let's agree to disagree, bro. I understand where you are coming from, but I don't think you understand my perspective. All I'll say is, watch how the new Disney series will connect with the MCU. Then compare it with AoS, DD and the others. You'll understand what about talking about then.

pu7pl3:
getting too cocky now eh

I think it's deserved bro. What Marvel has done with the MCU is unprecedented. They've turned nobodies (actors and lesser known superheroes) in global superstars.

No one will fault them (Marvel or her fans) being cocky. Unless you are a fan of the Martha universe (I'm sorry) .

hulk616:
black widow is dead, I don't see the need for her movies again, eternals would have made sense if it came before endgame and Shang -chi is for .........
And also DC will be releasing some movies, which can affect our box office performance.

Trust me, bro. Unless you want to be tagged a sexist or any of the 'ist'... I'd advise you be less blunt with your opinion (which you're very much entitled to)...

If the eternals will be a one off movie, it will be rather pointless. Black Widow movie is happening because Marvel is following the SJW-ish. Yeah, she is dead, but they say, why can't me make a movie exploring her past?

Meanwhile, it's not really bad having an Asian supes. I'll like to see what will happen in the movie.

pu7pl3:
daredevil and the punisher (ones I watched) are part of the MCU I'm 100% sure of it...there were many references to the avengers and the new York invasion and shiit

Yes, all the TV shows referenced the movies. But, Marvel (Kevin's side) did not treat them like part of the MCU. They could only feed off the Movies, but the movies never acknowledged them.

If you can watched AoS, don't you find it funny that not a single avenger mentioned anything about the Inhumans? And, they were supposed to have appeared all over the world.

hulk616:
the only world building movie there are Doctor strange and eternals, these movie could introduce cosmic entities, X-Men, fantastic four. But Thor 4 with female Thor

Wait is it confirmed that a female Thor will be in Thor4

hulk616:
all these unnecessary movies can affect MCU performance. Black widow, eternal, that Asian movie are not necessary.
At least, add black panther or spiderman

By the way, if you were a celeb ( In America) and you wrote the above... Only God can save you from the potential sh!t storm. Hollywood is all about inclusion now.

hulk616:
they cared. Age of Ultron first scene was connected to agent of SHIELD, all Thor movies was connected it. Even clues for endgame were in agents of shield.

Bro, C'mon. If marvel really cared we'll all know. They barely 'fed' AoS. For a behemoth to treat their property like that, I tells you they don't care what happens to it.

I watched the show for a four seasons (Until they killed Ward -best villain.)

hulk616:
all these unnecessary movies can affect MCU performance. Black widow, eternal, that Asian movie are not necessary.

I watch a small clip of the announcement, Kevin said he did not mention BP 2 because of time. Spiderman, on the other hand, maybe he purposely didn't talk about it. I for see this phase for being like phase 1. Not in terms of box office grossing, but building up another series of events.

CosmicPhoenix:

spiderman and ant man might come in 2022

To be honest, I doubt we'll see an Antman sequel. The second movie is good, but nothing special. Some people might even say it was okay, and they're not really wrong. Unless, a Thot 3-like change can happen, it's better they use Antman and the wasps with other characters. Like how falcon and winter soldier are teaming up.

hulk616:
only agent of shield

They barely cared about that one... And the thing pain me, I won't lie. The show could have been so much more, if only they had taken it more serious. Alas...

hulk616:
no spiderman, no Ant-Man, no male Thor.

Others will follow when the first set of Movies in phase 4 premier.

I think I'll bow out in this phase (I won't be as emotionally attached as before).... It has been a fun ride.

CosmicPhoenix:

but wait o,mahershala ali played cottonmouth in luke cage why cast him again as a different character within the same franchise?

You're talking as if Kevin cared about the TV shows To him, they've been fooling themselves ooo

Roland17:
Emery played the same formation for the most part even when the "senior Kpangolos" entered the game to spoil everything. I will be watching Nelson closely against Bayern and while friendlies may not give us a conclusive stance about him, I think it gives us a parameter to judge him on other non-technical aspects.

Yeah, I agree with you. Friendlies don't really matter, it's just for the players to gain fitness and work on one or two tactical aspects of the team's play.

I really like Nelson, I hope he won't be shipped on loan this season. If we are using 4-3-3 this season, it means we are finally getting sense. Let Laca and Auba compete for the ST position. Then Saka, Nelson, Martinelli, Micki and so on can compete for the wings. Hopefully we get another CM... Hope we keep Chambers, too.

solomonbrown64:
..... Bro, it is very important that Arsenal signs a winger even if it's just one. We had no play pattern last season because we do not have the players to carry out what the Coach wants. Emery plays 4-3-3 or 4-3-2-1 formation with deadly wingers on both sides of the pitch and a hard-working number 10 pulling the strings. The only person that can play on the wings is not a natural winger and we all know Auba is not either even though he tried last season.

.... The lack of wingers forced Emery to play 3-5-2 with the full back overlapping to do the work of a winger but that left the midfield completely open as one of the double pivot moves in to cover for the overlapping fullback if we did not want a simple looping ball to kill us. The open midfield was what Chelsea used to finish us at the finals last season. So, the formation works well for cutbacks for strikers to score but leaves space left by the fullback wide open for a looping ball and if one of the midfielders leave to cover that space, the midfield becomes wide open. It's the reason we leaked a lot of goals last season because of the pressure on the defense from the open midfield.

...So a decent Left back will allow us return to a back four and a tricky winger will put other teams on the defense, reducing the pressure on our defense and our midfield will stay in shape. This is why we have been chasing Tierney and tricky wingers this summer, they are the top priorities for us next season. Wingers are the reason Liverpool and Mancity are the most dreaded teams in world football right now. No one is stupid enough to go all attack mode on them because of their wingers, their midfield retains their shape and in turn there is little pressure on their defense hence why both teams had the lowest number of goals conceded Last season. So, yes wingers are extremely important.

Yes, I support this.

Roland17:
4-3-3 and it was quite exciting to see the fluidity in movement, particularly in the 1st half.

Thanks, Bro.

By the way, did the formation change when we introduced the senior players?

I'm happy for Saka, I've not really watched him play. But I've heard a lot about him. Hopefully, Nelson get's a chance to impress against Bayern.

Roland17:
For those who did not watch the game.

Colorado Rapids 0-3 Arsenal.

Bro, what formation did we play?

pyro62:
That's why I like Serena Williams.. She will beat you like a child, and you won't win any single round.. If Rodger get mind, make e challenge her

Bros, Serena is good, but she cannot beat any of the top 50 male pros. I'm too sure about that. By the way, this is not a sexist comment, I'm only stating the truth. In the women's division, she is the GOAT, but if she wants to challenge men, she won't be able to beat anybody in the Top 50. In fact, I'm being kind to Serena, she and her sister bragger too, that they could defeat pro male tennis players outside the Top 200, guess what? The #203 smashed the two og them, as in brutal beating ooo. If you think I'm lying, you can Google it.

P.s. I'm not attacking you.

Barely minutes after I posted my rant, I got the news that Spurs have outbid us for Saliba, they have a meeting with the club tomorrow. Those UK fans go cry weeen this season.

Thank God say Super Eagles they represent.

solomonbrown64:
......

Brother, nobody can tell me a club like Arsenal only had 45m to spend. They are just fooling themselves. Was it yesterday or the day before, Forbes released their ranking of the wealthiest clubs in the world, guess what? Arsenal was no.7.

We have long since paid a significant portion of the debt from the stadium ( in fact, I think we have paid it off completely) and we have the highest ticket prices in the land, and we have one of the most expensive kit sponsorship in the World, how is it possible we don't have money to spend. For finishing fifth last season, we got over 140+m coupled with the small change from reaching the Europa League final.

The higher-ups should come clean, instead of propagating the propaganda that we don't have funds. Some people might say what about FFP, my answer is what about FFP. Major clubs keep paying stupid amount of money, yet FFP did not hold them, yet Arsenal will be the 'sister Mary's obeyer of all rules.

It is their problem. One day, the fans in the UK will gather sense. Until then, they can keep funding Stan's wallet. I can Imagine him smiling every day while tapping some random hoes booooty ( don't mind me, let me rant).

Bros, sorry say a quote you, the entire structure of the club is pissing me off. However, like jazzed man, I will still support the club. But like a wise Nigerian, na siddon look mode I dey. Stan will not smell one Naira from me ( I know he does not need it, However, I no go give am).
