I have a bridge to sell to you in Lagos, if you think Partey is 30 years old. Baba is at least between 35-37, if not 40. Atletico, milked the best years of a younger Partey.

What they sold to us is an aged Partey, who while still good, needs high maintenance and management. Arteta did not get the memo early enough and overused him early on. With age comes increased injuries, particularly muscle related injuries and recovery takes forever.

O boy... who arranged the fixtures sef. The best thing is to accumulate the maximum points before those run of games. We defend with our lives at Etihad. Spurs and United no suppose cause us too much problem if all our players are fit. Brighton ain't the Brighton we all know.
Yeah, we need all our players fit in that run in plus we don't know the kinda form these clubs will have by that time. We just need to be strong on our own las las reason why I just dey hope on dem Timber and Partey.

You know that I for one is not chicken and I won't hide mouth or deny my personal opinion even if they turn out not to be right.

I did say that I preferred ESR to Kai for LAM and I gave my reasons which are very logical. Which is that he is right footed and therefore a counter balance for Odegaard at RAM who is left footed. I still stand by my word because believe that if given play time we will enjoy ESR more than we are enjoying Kai. So Kai may be the best option for the manager now at AM but it's my believe that ESR will even be better if given enough time to assert himself.

In the case of Kai vs Jesus, it is the same logic that Kai gives more output as a false 9 than Jesus especially in pressing and in changing the positional dynamics. Kai's movement is better and with his size he dominates defenders better. While Jesus overloads the attacking third, Kai overloads the midfield (which for me is better, though sincerely let me admit that I may be wrong here because Jesus is so inconsistent) but then it's an opinion. This is a very logical stance and I don't see how you are confused about it apart from the fact that you love being confused. Is confusion a hobby to you?
Saying Kai gives more in pressing and positional dynamics than Jesus is pure lie from the pit of hell except na Another Jesus and Kai wey dey Arsenal Tula of Russia.

Kai would never have given that assist to Saka against Nottingham forest neither would he have given the assist to Trossard in crystal palace. Kai can't even score that goal against Man u that Jesus scored sef. No be same Man u opportunity Kai had against Liverpool and he started falling down looking for penalty cos he's sluggish.

Nothing Kai gives more than Jesus except we want to go full-on route one football but then even winning aerial balls Jesus is no slouch either even though I know Kai has the edge over here only because of height.

Never put Kai in Jesus in the same sentence regarding CF biko.

The less said about Kai the midfielder, the better for everyone

U just over work urself. Havertz is a basic ordinary player ; it's visible to the blind and audible to the deaf. Gabriel Jesus is head and heels above him in terms of technicality, dribble, press and even passing ability.

Anybody that wants to keep lying to themselves about Havertz's ability that is not visible on the pitch, let them keep at it.

Jurrien Timber received his third bout of pioneer Stem Cell injection treatment this week . He is fit and capable to return to training at a higher level . The Medical team just need to sign off on what he is allowed to take part in as his recovery is being managed . [ Arsenal23Wenger on Twitter ] #arsenalfanaticsnews

Kiwior Out

Hato In

A transfer we may likely see in the Summer.
Hato is a 17-year old who has captained Ajax already. He is left footed and can be compared to Saliba Physique-wise.

In addition, with Biereth's form lately, we suppose get like 15m at least. Man is balling for Stum Gratz

Knowing Arteta, if they sign this boy he will most likely not start for us for the next 2 years sef.

He will. That's why Kiwior will likely be sold. Or is it because of his age? The boy is a regular for Ajax according to reports, not an academy player.

You mean Arteta will spend like 30m on a player he is going to bench? I doubt it. To the extent of considering selling Kiwior to fund the transfer. He will play him bro. Although, the guy is likely to back up Gabriel because he is left footed. He sure me say Arteta go play am.

Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: The Red & White Army: 2025/2026 EPL Champions! by Roland17(m): 8:53pm On Feb 08, 2024
I am not sure why anyone bothers themselves or speak conclusively about Arsenal's summer transfers while the season is ongoing, especially in February. A lot of these are just rumors/ speculations projected by agents of the players involved. At this time, the focus is to thin out the academy because we have a lot of players that have arrived the curve with no plans to transition them into the first team and to sign our best prospects like Duberry to longer termed contracts.

Summer is a long time from now and as far as transfers/ spending goes, a lot changes between now and the summer for anyone to conclusively link Arsenal to a player or even out of Arsenal except it is official like the end of a contract with no contract extension talks. Even at without contract extension talks, things can change. I mean we saw Arteta offer D. Luiz/ Xhaka extensions when everyone thought they would be leaving, even though the former declined it.

Arsenal will spend in the summer but it will be careful and guided to avoid FFP issues and balancing expenses with generated revenue. As it stands, Nottingham Forest and a few others will more than likely get hit with points deduction.

a dribbling granit xhaka. That's the closest i can say. Not restricted xhaka o. The free version of Xhaka. So that's for the left side. Super decisive around box 18 too

I still doubted this Toney deal for January sha.

And I don't know but even if Partey was available, I doubt Arteta would have had him sold this January esp with the nations cup holding plus Arteta really hoping to win the league.

In summary, I just believe it's rumor mills all these things sha sad

It is not. The deal for Toney didn't start this January. Both Raya and Toney's deal were worked on in the summer. Unfortunately, we could only settle for loan due to FFP. So the plan was to let Partey go this January, make Raya's deal permanent and get Toney on loan. Unfortunately, Partey got injured at the last moment. Toney himself has been dropping some hints during his ban.

If really we agreed to get Toney on loan, why didn't we get him. I mean, you yourself told me we still have allowable 100m to spend In this ffp matter, so with or without Partey, we would still have gotten Toney (even if it's on loan).

Abi no be so? undecided

Brentford raised the price. They reneged from the previous agreement made in the summer. I guess they saw our desperation.

There is a reason I always advice fans to learn more about the business side of Arsenal. Speaking of FFP, there are 2 versions of the FFP we are regulated by. 1 is by the EPL and the other is by UEFA. A difference between both is the total amount of losses allowed, EPL allows 105M over 3 years while UEFA allows 77M over the same period.

How much have we spent over the last 3 years in transfers? How much is our pre-tax loss during the time span? How much revenue did we bring in from different streams? Each stream (including player sales) has restrictions and legislations that guide them and how they can be used to balance FFP.

This past summer, we spent over 200M, are we projecting a profit pre-tax this year? Now, consider our transfers over the last 2 years, the amount, did we declare a loss in each of the last 2 years? If we did, how much? If we did not, how much profit did we declare and how much of it counts into transfers we made during that period? This is because only a certain percentage can be used under FFP rules.

There is a lot that goes into it and that is why when all the noise of Toney and others was going on, I predicted that Arsenal will not sign anyone in January and I was right. Anything you read about January were mere rumors because Arsenal understands we have to wait things out to see where we end financially by the summer.

This is why it is even more imperative that we advance into the latter stages of the UCL and continue to increase our revenue from that stream. Top 4 is looking promising in the worst case scenario, that means we are back in Europe next year. Arsenal will spend in the Summer but I can assure you it is going to be careful and well guided.
