Timber rarely plays (FB) without inverting unless Arteta is against it. Against City and Forest last season, he inverted into the midfield.
So it was those two matches he did all that?

He has come a long way.

It’s a shame his biggest critic @Kokaneprodigy, with whom I had constant argument over his value and purchase is no longer on this forum.

Kokane if you are reading this, Gabu say make I tell you…

We made it!
Exactly what he told his wife on video call immediately after collecting the award

He has improved tremendously over the years and I’m just so happy for him cause he’s got a lot of critics and I’m glad he shut them up including kokane grin

Immediately I saw him in the group picture, I said to myself, the man of the night for Me like he’s the main reason for the award night

The guy survived partnering with the likes of Mustafi (Lord, show me a worse defender), Holding, Chambers, Sokratis, David Luiz, Mecho (Who is having a rebirth with Atalanta), Tierney (Sickbay merchant) to now Saliba, White, Calafiori, Timber, Tomiyasu, Zinny and Kiwor (to a lesser extent).

The guy suppose do testimony for church.

What do you mean by 'all that? He started as a LB in those two matches and he inverted into midfield. Those were the two games he played before he got injured na

I actually want Timber to start.

1. He is right footed so it will be easier to mark Bailey (assuming he starts).

2. He will give us a good option in attack too.

Yea, the president is in London. Be like the transfer dey pain am with the way he was lamenting yesterday. I heard we will be paying in installment.
Yeah, especially that number two. Not only will he be defensive be he'll also put a good shift attacking forward. I highly doubt Zinny go play on weekend sha but we go see.


Lol, it's good. Make Dem do settle the Merino deal once and for all abeg. Hopefully the installments no go much so that we fit see money buy attacker

Like Musa Yunus and Ismael Bennacer, I hope he finds his way.
He is in the last year of his contract so the price will always be low. The sell-on clause make sense sha.
Lol... It's 45% sell on clause. It really make sense.

I believe he'll find his way. Spain is more technical and as he grows, I believe he'll bulk up. Na small pikin body deh worry am now grin

In summary u've only watched him in 1 and half competitive games for arsenal.

But if Arteta decides to use Zinchencko ahead of him for tactical reasons u will question Arteta's decision right?

Patino's situation is a tricky one and I can understand why Arteta doesn't see a future with him. As most are aware, Patino has obvious deficits in the physical aspect of the game and the hope was for him to gain some physical experience that can help in his growth but that did not happen in the Championship. Patino's style of play involves holding on to the ball to dictate tempo and direction, especially when transitioning as a DLM but the lack of physical strength means he easily loses physical battles deep inside his half and that puts his team in bad situations. He has tremendous ball technique and IQ but Arteta doesn't have the time to work on that aspect of his game, especially when you have midfield players like Skelly, Nathan who don't have such deficits and are ready for 1st team involvement.
Excellent point boss.
Tbh, when I first saw him play that Carabao cup (in which he scored), my mind was like " I sure this guy will make it here with the way he's skinny and kpengele like this". But with the rave reviews I was hearing about him, I thought maybe he can make it here, that perhaps he's technicality will see him through (perhaps like D. Silva). I really understand your point and it's not the end of the road for him.

Spanish clubs is a good place to hone his skills and technicalities and I believe with time and growth, he'll bulk up too. Good thing is that we have a good sell on clause on him

He really really deserves it and I'm really happy for him. Man has come a long way.


But not only him, I'm happy for Arsenal as a whole, seeing that we've the highest representative and almost the highest last season, it just proves that we're getting back where we belong. When last have we had such a representatives in PFA??

Raya, Gabriel, Rice— it's their first time and I'm glad they must be really elated. It might have been six (with Ben White probably) but I'm having a feeling that he's shithousery and tricks he was doing finally counted against him in votes voted by the players grin grin grin

He bulked up a bit before going on loan sha. The loan didn't just work out for him ni

It is a common knowledge that Zinchenko struggles defensively and that fact alone is enough to make a logical decision. I wouldn't be the only one to raise an eyebrow if he still decides to start Zinchenko against Aston Villa. Simple!

Please don’t remind Me of that calamitous Sokratis(can’t forget the match when ma was tackling the Refree instead of the opponents) and the other calamitous defender, whosoever play alongside those player no matter how good he is will definitely be heavily criticized

I’m sure he’s gonna be thankful to God and Saliba for the partnership formed cause ever since then, man has been playing so well.

When we win the league this season, the joy will be immense cause I’m sure more than five of our players will be in team of the year.

Lol.. I was surprised when I saw the sell on clause. Almost 50% oo grin grin

Tavarez own make sense too. It's good we're getting all these sell on clause on players. Na real investing in futures be that grin

The loan didn't work out because the coach that requested for him when Arsenal loaned him was sacked and the new coach doesn't fancy him. Hopefully, his time in deportivo will be good.

Vieira shouldn’t because he is a very unserious player and if it doesn’t change this season, he should be moved.

However, in comparison to Patino, he plays higher up and isn’t usually involved in building plays from deep.

Wolves tender bid to Ramsdale loan plus obligation to buy at 25M if certain marks are met .

Ajax 24M bid rejected.


Arsenal do not want loan but outright purchase.
If u want loan Arsenal will require 6M for loan.


Remember arsenal bought Ramsdale for 24M from Sheffield

How Chelsea sacked their coach of last season remains to be studied.

The team was already gelling and onky needed a striker of calibre to complete.

They have scattered their upward movement and now another rebuilding.

I think we should collect the 6m for a year loan and then sell him for 25m after the loan ends.
