Roland17:
Baba don’t do this na! In his words, to win, we are not talking g about top 6-8 finishes.

Ok let me ask you, if you were a betting man, would you place a serious bet on one of Newcastle, Villa, United (this one is worse), Forrest and Spuds winning the EPL next season?

He has no choice but to admit that we can win it because it is inexcusable to say otherwise, especially after the sort of window we have just had.

Fans of those teams believe the can o, though not with certainty.

The point is that when talking to press as a manager, it is not expected of you to underate other teams. Call it football talk... or opponent's hyping.... The important thing is that he knows that 2nd will no longer be an achievement with Arsenal.

Awa Ladies with the Sauce....


MICHELLE AGYEMANG (95mins) and CHLOE KELLY (120mins)

They have rescued England again!

Aygemang is going nowhere
Our coach will use her

Roland17:
See ehn, Arteta knows the section of fans he is targeting with those comments and as you can see, they will swallow it.

Like anyone seriously expects him to say are not contenders to win it?

Arteta know his people
His people know him🤣🤣🤣

I feel another loan would polish her game better than coming on at 85mins cameo... She's a fighter, physical player buh very very raw ( she can overcomplicate short passes at times)....

Saw some clips on sesko and I was blown ..

I see why arteta was hell bent on him ..


Sesko looks like the better fit to arsenal than this guy...

iamoyindamola:
Scummies going for seskô, they will pay about 100m 🤣🤣
Mosquera have traveled to join the team in Singapore
Wissa might be heading to Spuds
Xhaka close to agreeing Sunderland deal , where did that come from

Tbh, it won't be a miss if they get him for that amount .. Dude is good ...

I low-key prefer sesko to the ekitike we got ...

mine3112:
I'm going for England here. They are playing enterprising football.

Kelly always coming at dire moments for England. Chai

We need her
She's a super sub with lots of energy, I am not sure of mead and stina
Having aygemang in the team will increase depth.

I know right... The issue with him is mentality and the fact that he is still raw. He can't decide game on his own yet. Compared to Gyokeres wey be like those Vikings.

This season go long ooo. Arteta don dey talk about how this season will be different from last season where 5 players were always assured a place in the xl because they can play 90mins. This season we have more depth and rotations without loosing quality is expected. If we're not in fa cup and carabao cup finals, pushing for epl title, they should sack him. No more excuses. I've never been of the opinion that we lost our first two title push because of Pep, no. But seeing Liverpool win the league last season and how they did it, made me realise that Arsenal have been shooting themselves in the leg most times. Arteta not trusting the right players when he should affected us well, I just hope he have realised his own mistakes too with what he said about rotations. Let's watch and see.

initially I didn't have an issue with Sesko had we signed him, but seeing how he wasn't interested in us, I think it's a good choice we signed who have his mind on winning with us. I don't need Gyokeres to be the highest score scorer, I just need him to turn up each match day regardless of the opponent and deliver.

iamoyindamola:
He just need to believe in his team first

let's see how he can effectively rotate the squad without loosing quality. Na dat one be my concern, cus the same xl can't be playing 70-90 minutes every match and won't be affected by injuries and fatigue

Now you just wake up
When odegaard got injured last season it took saka injury for this man to play Ethan even forcing trossard to play midfield and we know how that end

Good morning by the way

Roland17:
Awon Arteta gang, una master don add new lyrics to him litany of excuses. Make add this one to him master list.

Werey talk say 6,7,8 clubs.... If you like no feel..

Baba wan use style tell us say this squad is only good for the usual top 4.

We will be here Sir!

Poor interpretation of intent

Are we now going to pretend that the current squad isn't 5 times better than what we have before?

Off course his confidence has increased and it's not out of place.

Don't give Arteta haters room to misunderstand you

He was first choice but then there are aspects that Gyokeres has that has now made him preferred. Determination for example, self awareness too.

Sesko has good talent but he has shown that he struggles with competition or demand. He loves a comfort zone. That is the reason why I am happy he isn't here.

I'm not sure gyokores has that kind of fluidity I see in sesko ...

The isak/Suarez esque ..


Well you guys knows best . Goodluck with gyokores who is not sure to bring his sporting Lisbon activity to the premier league .

He has it..
From my observation, Sesko is more like Haaland/Ibrahimovic mould.

Yea.. His reluctance to come was a put off.

Gyokeres on the other habd fought for this move.

I don't know where you get your convictions from but I don't consider them true.

I hope this boy is now old enough to feature in epl and cup games
See how he comot our captain, my fear is epl defenders should not break his legs because he looks fragile

Stop that, Max Dowman. 🔥 pic.twitter.com/zx8wG7YROU

I get you it will increase depth buh will it help her development? It's a script have seen before when they brought in Mead and McCabe, Kelly and Hinds were kept for depth but within a year they became frustrated and left for Everton together when a loan would have suffice to play regularly since they are not yet Arsenal materials, a year later City and Liverpool snatched them... Russo forced her way from Chelsea when they wouldn't play or loan her to NCCA


Agyemang needs to play regularly to polish her raw skills or get swallowed up in competitions with Russo and Stina e.g. get frustrated like Kelly, Hinds, Patten, Naz and Ruby Mace who all forced move away permanently and are now starter and in WSL teams and England international to various degrees....

She can play across the position in front even though she majorly play as CF same with Russo and Mead, the only striker we have now is blackstenius
Olivia Smith can also play across all positions in front(Forgotten her)
In difficult games the coach can tweak tactics to accommodate 2 CFs and women get Injured most times in football.
If we want to loan her, it as to be lfc,man utd or spuds they are the other serious teams that can cause damage to our direct competitors

MD

I had a feeling Nørgaard would be starting over Zubimendi. I expect Arteta to make a full squad change during the match

Gyökeres would be flying to Singapore to do his medicals and might play against Newcastle on Sunday. Can't wait!

Ethan rocking the 22 shirt look lans

Harvertz is still lazy
Abeg this guy won’t be ready for that position

The wing position is packed already with Foord ( technically Arsenal's best winger), Mead, Kelly, Smith, Kafaji who all played across the front... The only position she's getting minutes is CF which is stacked already, the only reason Russo is starting ahead of Stina is her interoperability with the wingers unless Injuries happens she will be 4th or 5th choice when starting a game is considered cos Foord and Mead are even strikers to begin with...


She didn't start regularly at Brighton, she won't start at United cos of Terland and Mallard... Maybe Spurs and Liverpool might be good cos coming on at 85 or 90 mins at Arsenal for someone in England setup will be frustrating for her...

Is it done?

Boring half
