Arsenal is a small club in ucl caliber

That's our Enemy talk... We are still the 3rd most successful English team with European titles maybe not with the name UEFA attached... If we're going by that Logic then Liverpool only has 2 titles instead of the acclaimed 20

mostob:
Yea but Sesko was reluctant as well. Remember we went for him last summer as well but he chose to sign a new contract.

He had doubts about himself playing under pressure at highly demanding scenery like Arsenal then and that's not good sign at all ...

iamoyindamola:
If the guy really want to move he can force it because they had an agreement last season, I think he is interested in those elite clubs
He will see sha

Elites? Does it get more "Elite" than Arsenal? ....


I pray whoever they get comes in early, focused and that it work out.... Am done being choosy cos it's nearly mid-July already...

iamoyindamola:
It's obvious seskô don't want arsenal with his stupid demand, he want to use us to gather interest from other top clubs

Am thinking it's Leipzig not wanting to budge on it demands even though their financial situation is tight right now... They are part of the "exclusive unfortunate clubs" nobody wants to do businesses with except it's necessary....

mostob:
yea.. To avoid FFP and save money for other deals

Exactly 💯... Especially when the team is not running on Oil money ( City) or Corny Consortium ( Chelsea) ...

mostob:
58m with add-ons totalling 10m or so.

But the fact that he doesn't score inside box dey worry me. I don watch YouTube compilation tire, no headed goals

It might be due to style of play at Sporting CP, most times they rely on fast break there ( counter attacking football)...


Either him or Sesko, I don't mind now....

mostob:
We're paying more than the release clause. Easy-buy method sha.
His deal started last summer when Edu was working on Merino. Jason and King finalized it in January.

Easy-buy mostly likely not to drop the money all at once ... It's the theme of transfers dealings these days

No she didn't bench shaw
Shaw got injured but played 14 times and scored 11
While viv played 11 and scored 7
The issue she had with Jonas was because of mead(her partner) she wanted them to concentrate on football and they continue their stuff outside the club
I later got to know the team played huge role in sacking Jonas because they supported viv
I blame Jonas because he has no business in ladies sports

Shaw get injured, yes buh not all season e.g. she was available v Arsenal, Liverpool and the Manager played Viv instead...

The issue with Jonas start not cos of Mead really or Off-field issues , cos players especially female players are dramatic, backbiting, Caucuses ( When Foord moved from dating Walti to McCabe or Leah attending Gucci trade nite and etc.)... It's a disrespect issues, there is one game v West ham and Jonas tells Viv to warm-up at around 85mins and tell her to enter only for Jonas to comeback minutes later and tap her shoulder and point 👉 to the bench with the her already on the touchline... It's was an ego problem between them and Jonas fearing her outsize influences among both the players and Fans...


That ( dramas) is what makes the Women football interesting not only the football itself...

iamoyindamola:
I am surprised arteta picked this guy because I once read his policy his height and versatility, our coach is too obsessed with height if you notice our midfielders and defenders they are huge apart from MLS, timber and this zubimendi

Yes, he obviously likes height ( huge men) buh maybe his quality swayed him... He was so close to Liverpool before changing his mind hoping Barca would get rid of De Jong...Most Spanish players don't like leaving home due to the weather ( The Sun🌞)


Bayern Munich chairman already announced this deal back then in January when Bayern enquired about him, he said he's already sold Arsenal...

They may soon be getting their man


🚨 Arsenal in advanced talks with Sporting Lisbon over deal to sign Viktor Gyokeres. Transfer fee discussions continue but personal terms in place on 5yr contract. 27yo #SportingCP striker only wants #AFC. Arteta pushing for swift conclusion - David Ornstein

iamoyindamola:
How tall is this guy, the matches I have seen him
He's looking short, is he as tall as merino or rice abi partey's height

Not that tall like Big Jorg's heights... Am surprised he chooses Arsenal, he's much more of Real, Barca level ( both financially constraints mostly due to high wage bills)....

“Once I made the decision to leave, I set my sights on Arsenal because I think their style of play is a good fit for me,” our new midfielder said in his first interview.
“It’s a young, highly motivated and ambitious team. They have shown their potential recently, and I believe the best is yet to come. As soon as you set foot here, you realise how big this club and this team are. Andrea [Berta] and Mikel [Arteta] took excellent care of me, leaving me with no doubts whatsoever.
“This is a huge moment in my career. It's the move I was looking for; one I wanted to make. Of course, it's a big change, but I'm ready to get started.” - Zubimendi, Arsenal.com

Welcome

We welcome him... His club really did themselves dirty in today's market bar the release clause he will mostly net them atleast £80m ...


Hope he settles in fast...

iamoyindamola:
Even viv is lucky dutch women don't have good striker
She's passed her best

Viv is far from pasting her, she is still very not good but excellent and even bench Roord and Shaw last season when fit ( and note Shaw is all round better striker / player than Russo )...Viv main issues is her recurring injuries...


Her leaving is mainly due to Jonas and Arsenal not been able to afford Marionna and her...

Roland17:
McAtee is 22 while Hutchinson is 21. Should I remind you Nwaneri is 18?

McAtee has been in the U21 setup since 2022. Hutchinson has been in the U21 since 2023. This is Nwaneri’s first involvement, I fact he joined in March of 2025. If anything, it speaks volume of his talent that he is pushing U21 guys because he should be playing U18.

Irrespective, you haven’t shown me how Madueke is better than Nwaneri. Madueke isn’t a starter at Chelsea, is he more creative? A better goal scorer/ finisher? Better ball technique? Better passer?

Is it because he is older? I honestly don’t see pound for pound, how Madueke is a more capable backup for Saka than Nwaneri.

Even when we compare their stats

Please don't bait into shading Ethan ( he is one of our own) ...buh emotional attachment aside judging by the season he had last term, age wouldn't be a factor for putting him on the bench and also McAtee miss almost the entire season through injury last term and hasn't done enough over the past year to be putting him on the bench really.... The U21 Manager must have seen something...


I don't support Madueke move pennywise as it will affect other recruitment but he's not a bad player plus being part of England National setup shows he is not at U21_eish level ( and most of the fanbase is tired of the team is still growing excuses every year) and Ethan has more than stated his preference for AM position...

iamoyindamola:
Those Chelsea players are old and passed it except for James, Lucy bronze shouldn't be starting again she's like Kyle Walker
Since they won't survive the group that should give our girls time to rest before the new season

Leah was even heavily injured yesterday that her left thigh and back was covered in bandages... Mead has a torrid night too, her not tracking back really exposes Bronze weakness to Bacha and Baltimore....


Omo the way their midfield that I expected to dominate collapsed needs to be studied... I never saw Sarkina and Geyoro in my wildest dreams bullying Walsh, James and Stanway...

Celebrating the Iconic Viv

Roland17:
Even as a “now now” player, Madueke isn’t better than Nwaneri. I don’t see it, honestly. Nwaneri’s contract extension has stalled because of game time. He should have gotten more appearances than he did last season. Now, he is bringing someone who, I honestly can’t see an upgrade.

Truth be told Madueke is more ready now than Ethan ( who obviously has more future ceilings and potentials), he still needs time as he does fizzled out of games sometimes last season... I mean Ethan couldn't even get into the England U21 first XI last month been benched by Hutchinson and McAtee...


I still think Madueke is an expensive back-up at close to 50m? I'll pass and maybe gamble on Ethan upward trajectory tooo...

mostob:
He has always said this himself that he is better at AM. Moreso he looks more dangerous when he is at the right half space than when he is on the wing. But Madueke Thought it is Semenyo they're looking at.

BTW, heard he will be wearing #22 next season. He has not signed his contract because he is on extended break due to the U21 Euro he partook in.

Ethan will want more assurances on playtime which he obviously deserves cos Arteta rarely subbed Saka or Odegaard even they are 3_up...


Semenyo? £80m and he just signed longer term sef

iamoyindamola:
Yes i didnt know van de donk is no more our player
England 2 goals down i knew they won't survive that group, they cant beat france or netherlands, they are losing ball in key areas both goals wer conceded on mistake leading to counter attack
I don't know why mead start instead of chloe

For Mead case, I think it's the Coach preference and Chloe looks much better when she came on putting those Madrid esques crosses... De Donk don Jaapa since when Lyon ( Real Madrid of Female football) came through and it's been over 3 years sef...

England don't look ready for this tournament and their midfield of Walsh ( who has been bad for Chelsea) and Stanway and James ( just returning from ACL) were outplayed and overrun with Bronze looking like she past her prime... they may have a chance against The Orange who has been bad recently too save for today

iamoyindamola:
Arsenal players are really doing well in this Euros
Hopefully they fight Chelsea the coming season

Another Caveat to cool nerves...

🚨 Arsenal view Ethan Nwaneri as more of a midfielder, operating as an #8 or #10, as opposed to a winger. 🕵️‍♂️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 [@David_Ornstein]


But_But....

Roland17:
Is Madueke better than Nwaneri? I don’t see it honestly.

Maybe he wants now_now ready players... Ethan won't sign on without the promises of game time and Arteta might be thinking that time is running out for him (Arteta himself) at Arsenal hence his preference for ready made players ...

Something is wrong somewhere obviously



🚨 Noni Madueke agrees personal terms with Arsenal as they consider approaching Chelsea for England int’l. #AFC have 23yo green light + strong relations with #CFC but no club-to-club talks yet. Firm option to bolster on both wings - David Ornstein

SMUAG:
The movie is just too questionable even from the start. If I were WB I would've gone for the Russo brothers... Aside just being directors this guys hardly involved themselves on controversial comments like Gunn whose mouth can't closed for minutes, and directing a character like Superman you don't need such...
There are many people out there who are ready to give this movie bad reviews just because of Gunn's controversial take on things and those people are not even Snyder fans nor Cavill fans either. Personally for me I don't ever like his way of directing movies. His movies lean towards to be too childish for my liking and it irritates me when I see movies ignore stakes.
I guess placing embargo on reviews till 3days to the release of the movie tells more than we know...

Watch them get emotional...

One Salty asss even predicted $1B....

Just an early review and tards are already getting so_so emotional... it's about to get salty ...

Rest in Peace ....

Roland17:
A lot of things don’t add up from the evidences I saw 2 years ago and now. Like I said, I never make hasty conclusions in these situations.

That is why it was waived then and now am not saying he's guilty or not... Any Trial is based on Allegations until proven otherwise...


He is one of our own....

pu7pl3:
Did you read the article?

Yes and?

Samistry2:
No be you dey call me childish for bashing a show I haven't seen yet?

Didn't say it my personal opinion you should go over it again, the keyword here is "Early Review" for those site...


Please don't take it personal ...

The early review are out despite strict review embargo and they are less than Tasteful ...

Uh oh!!! A John Cena movie is said to be better than James Gunn's SUPERMAN.

Now Variety takes a swipe at James Gunn's SUPERMAN in an unrelated review for Amazon’s Heads of State, an action-comedy starring John Cena and Idris Elba.

Variety says SUPERMAN is 'silly' and that Heads of State is more entertaining.

The jab comes after Gunn’s Superman faced harsh criticism from The Daily Beast, who called the DCU reboot “terrible” and the “final nail in the grave for the superhero genre.”


The question is how much of a mess can it truly be?

SMUAG:
I have been seeing cbm way before Gunn came into the picture and I know when a movie is too childish for my liking..
GotG vol.1 was a bit unique but the over used of cringe jokes downplayed so many great moments. Vol.2 was very very terrible, while vol.3 was decent at best...

Guess you can see the height of stvpidity Gunn can go...
This is just one of many reasons why I can not take Gunn seriously... What is this! No single stake at all!

And you might be right all along... The early review are out despite strict review embargo and they are less than Tasteful...

Roland17:
You are late to the party (pun intended), we discussed this extensively in 2022. Like I said in 2022, I will not make any conclusions.

I know about it then (21/22), It a revisit the case was waived then due to lack of evidences, now they are claiming they have the enough evidences now...
