Omo I no gree we must collect our guy back, na by force
I watched his highlights of this ending season the guy was the heart of Marseille midfield, keys passes and assists with some goals too

Roland17:
My position is not new about our coaching but right now, Arteta should be allowed to get the players he wants.

I don’t think Arteta can manage Guen, we know his disposition about certain type of players. There is no need trying to bring Guen back only to end up on the bench or banished from the first team because he is opinionated.

You have to understand that Guen has a lot of things going for him right now. He is making the Les Bleus national team and if he continues will be at the World Cup. He is going to play in the UCL next season, which means more exposure. He is playing in his homeland and is very comfortable with his manager, J. Sampaoli who has helped Guen mature and get better in expressing himself on and off the pitch.

So, why should he leave all of these positives and stability to join Arsenal in the EL, fight with coach when he chooses to air his opinion, get benched and then lose out on making the World Cup? You have to remember he is no longer that 19 year old we signed from Lorient. He now has a lot of experience and that comes with even more voice.

Baba that ship has sailed. I hope we can find 2 quality midfielders and a good striker, we can’t field the same quality in both positions like we did last season.

Lol this case dey pitiful. I almost went to buy spectacles to improve my eyesight after seeing the way people attacked the boy when he was in the EPL.
Looked like a can’t miss talent to me that just needed time to mature and a bit of luck but people that watched him on a daily basis said he was no good.
I don’t see why he would want to come back. Chance of making the World Cup squad and also Arsenal fans weren’t too kind to him.

Spy360:
Na now you see road well?

Something that we saw like two years ago. Now that we no longer want him for disciplinary issues, na him you dey see Star boy

If Kokane reads this post, he will counter you and render your opinion useless. He'll begin a new round of mentioning him till 2042 in every negative Arsenal posts.

iamoyindamola:
Then the board are not working
Guen was better than all our midfielders except partey last season.
I use to be one of his critics but he has really improved
He's now a regular in the French team, this arteta will ruin us eventually.
We now release players after investing heavily on them even bellerin is telling us to release him so that he will go to betis permanent
Same thing florentina wan try with torreira, that guy sef we can still use him

I feel if we get all óur loaned midfielders back and we invest heavily on strikers and wingers we will move weight

iamoyindamola:
Oga go and sleep he wasn't like this 2 years ago

Fkhalifa:
A united fan once said here that time " You'll think Guendozi is a terrible player if you don't watch football". This was after reading several posts here on how that boy is the reason everything went bad for Arsenal.

Infact you dare not praise or say anything positive about him else, you'll be receive loads of back lash.
You priase him they will twist things and say you're calling him the next Iniesta,Pirlo and Cesc.

Fkhalifa:
For me, Sod still deserves some respect, he didn't allow pride let him hide and c
twist the truth.

iamoyindamola:
You know the funny thing
Even Dino had a great season too, the way we are going arteta will be the death of arsenal
I have been saying it that Dino and saliba could serve a replacement to the likes of mustafi instead Baba blew money on gabu and white

afrodoc2:
The problem is that people don’t think of future but like everything now. I am one person that always believes in giving a young footballer a chance especially if the talent is there.

All the things that seemed difficult to McTominay for instance appeared to come so easily to Guen whenever I watched him, and those things are the basics of playing CM.
Knowing where to move to to receive the ball, ability to receive the ball on the half turn, passing the ball to your full back just in front of him so he takes it in his stride rather than passing it straight to his feet.

[/b]The mistakes he made like romancing the ball too much like breast, petulant fouls, poor defensive positioning were errors that he was bound to eliminate or reduce from his game with increasing experience.[b]

But I watched him only occasionally and had to conclude that those who watched him regularly had more data on him. The truth is that the guy is still going to keep getting better for the next 3-4 years unless he has bad luck with injuries or his attitude is off like Adrien Rabiot.

Spy360:
Sod knows that I will drag him till both of us fall off the cliff. The only thing I will not do is to use bad language but I go drag am till he apologizes.

Spy360:
Chelsea and Madrid are trying to hijack the deal. If we don't sign him today/tomorrow then it's over.

As par your dream, it is good and hopefully so.

But, right now what Nigeria needs is not a northern president but southern especially from SE. This nation is too diverse to be playing politics with. A northern president will cause more separatist agenda from southerners and the centre will not be able to hold.

There will be mutiny in the army, and the nation will dive into the ocean of chaos.

Vote Peter Obi for one Nigeria.

So let's talk a bit on tactics.

Watching this Arsenal side for most of the season and majorly throughout Arteta's reign so far, it's hard to see where the ideology lies.

Are we a pressing team or do we want to contain.

A proper press ensures that the motion of all attacking and midfield players are channeled in a synchronized manner towards the opponents ball retention or distribution area. This motion automatically ensures that at the time the opponent makes that pass to the receiving player, all our players aforementioned have already closed down every option that the receiving player has to distribute the ball to.

I have watched enough of this current side to conclude that the pressing is poor. Is it a case of personell or a case of the coach ? I'll let us answer those questions

As per containing, in my own analogy and how I have played the game, you can contain in three areas of the pitch . The attacking the mid and the defensive third of the pitch where you have all your players in a defensive formation spread across and then shuffling from one end to the other whilst maintaining the defensive shape.

One thing no team wants when containing is to be doing it in their own defensive third. This is a recipe for loss as it becomes more difficult as the game goes on to escape without conceeding.

Unfortunately this side tends to find themselves trying to contain teams in the defensive third more than often which is no surprise in the reflection is some of our results even against lowly teams .

Again I'll leave it to us to debate on if this assessment is true or not and what could be the cause and probable solution .

iamoyindamola:
No tactics
If arteta have the best players he will still be clueless on how to use them
What he does is we score first and hope on insha'Allah if not he doesn't have the intelligence of turning games around

Jencejyde:
Hahaha No tactics Ke. You dey vex oh. So you are of the opinion that Arteta is not qualified to lead Arsenal moving on.

Sometimes we can only wonder why Arsenal as a club remains struggling to get back to the apex of footballing heights. Manchester City already won the league and imho are even almost done with their transfer business and will soon focus on pre-season plans in a bid to ensure continuity of success. Even spurs are showing serious signs by tying down conte and wasting no time to approve funds for his transfer plans which they have already begun and finalized some deals.

Alas , Arsenal albeit given the circumstances managed to finish fifth are still dilly dallying in transfer plans. We have yet to even nail down any prospect amidst uncertainty of funds at hand or not. This leaves little or less to be desired and one can not be optimistic going into the new season even though as fans our hearts want to believe.

Sometimes you wonder if truly the people at the helm want this club to move forward. Serious clubs after a disappointing campaign immediately move to correct their errors and ensure success in the forthcoming season depending on the targets set.

But I'm just struggling to see any signs to see that seriousness at arsenal right now. We have not even come down to technical and tactical improvement on the pitch which is still clearly lacking.

Phew!!!! Hope it's not another long season all over again.

This is what I foresaw and said here on last match day.
That Arsenal will frustrate the fans in the Transfer Window...
At the end they will bring in a fanciful player to appease the fans... the truth many won't like is,Utd and Chelsea would eventually spend and strengthe their teams.
They'll keep spending and getting active till they get it right.

ObaIgwe1:
I don't think the problem is due to lack of fund or unwillingness to buy quality players. I read somewhere that Edu and Arteta have a budget of 160M to play with.

I think our main problem is due to the fact that we missed playing CL. The teams who qualified are also in the market, and these quality known players will pick them ahead of us if they have a choice.

The dust will soon settle for us when the big boys leave market, then EL teams will become the prefer bidder. Just hoping by then there will still be enough qualities in the market.

For example, If Madrid and Chelsea sort out their CF problems without Jesus, I'm sure he will have no choice but to consider us.

Jodera:
Thing is even if the dust settles, will there be quality enough for us? I'm not sure and I don't think Jesus will be available if he prefers UCL clubs to us

For we to excel in this transfer window, we should cast our nets on the Tomi of this world. Players who are hungry to go to top clubs from other leagues, relatively unknown and are very very good. Such players also should be able to enter into the first team or fight to enter the first team.
They abound everywhere, Liverpool are very good at that.

If we can work on that, we won't be thinking much about this player rejecting us and that player rejecting us

Kbs468:
Good morning Bro

Maybe I should refer you to my handle kbs468 for further reading on Politics or Political threads as I had once elaborated on this SOUTH EAST "MAXIM" in quote as it's exactly the same clamouring that ATIKU ABUBAKAR stands on as well because he is from the North East that is yet to taste power at the apex level or cadre of the Presidency of the federal Republic of Nigeria before unlike the North West counterpart just like the 3rd region in line too suffering the same fate-North Central

Sod is better than those who will twist the truth, even if you win UCL and World Cup, they will find a way to still downplay your success and paint you bad.. you'll soon see them
