. Who was against Arteta's signing from inception. The person that said he wants mourinho, we all know that everybody here was against him for bringing such. Moreover, he said he's no longer an arsenal fan again, so why are you bringing receipt of someone who's no longer an arsenal fan.

Also, you too like this "I told you so" of a thing and wouldn't want us enjoy the moment. Xhaka was under par and we criticized as usual (as fans). Now he's improved, should we still be criticising?.

Take elneny as a case study, he wasn't too performing wen he first came, if really he's unplayable now, should we still be criticising and complaining about him and he should be sold? Come on, put things in context and let's just enjoy the team.
If everyone dey bring receipts, even you would be found guilty.

Nb: my responses here are for this post and the other one you talked about arsenal fans being like false prophets.
There is a difference criticising poor performance and saying a player isn't good enough or that the player lacks potentials.

Ability to decipher between these two is what causes a lot of emotional arguments on this thread.

Anyways, congratulations to Martinez. Sad he left, but he really deserved that move. Argentina can't have a good goalkeeper like him yet depend on Romero as number 1. Glad he took his chance. Wishing him all the best.
Really a hard choice to make, but then selling him and keeping Leno is still a great option coupled with the fees. So it's all good.
Hoping we bring in partey and a good am. Else convert willian to am. If we can get partey, I feel our transfer is almost perfect this season

I still stand on what I said. We missed Giroud last two seasons (off course we can't miss him for ever you skunck head), and ten years ago, Walcott was a better finisher than Ronaldo.


Never argue analysis with me. You can argue history but definitely not tactical analysis.

When someone consistently drops poor performances, doesn't it mean he probably lacks the potential in that role? Xhaka isn't a good DM and his performance says so. Should we not say it as it is? Should we not demand for upgrade as it's what's best for the club? I agree bluerray was overly critical of Amn, but then would you blame him? Was that not the path that made us keep wilshere and diaby for almost/over 10yrs in this club. Was that not the reason we're mostly jostling for only top4?
It's good that Arteta is a good coach and also tactically good, but like any successful coach, he needs to be ruthless. Thank goodness he did that with guen. I know someone like Wenger will never do Arteta did to guen.

10 years ago is actually 2010. As in 2010. Ronaldo's peak.

Indeed he has improved but we have better defenders now. Besides his 'improvements' are still not our desired standards.

You see the problem. You say Xhaka is not a good DM. The question is, is Xhaka a DM?

It's like say, Saka is not a good LB so we should throw him away and buy a better one.

Or

Aubameyang is not a good winger. Let's sell him and buy a proper winger.


AMN has already justified me, so no need picking Blueraydick on this. I believe he has learnt.


Talking about ruthlessness, I am glad Arteta is because it's a quality a good manager needs to have. Interestingly, modern managers lacks it due to pressure from the board and club owners. But let me tell you, in the late 90s and early 2000s as I can recall, managers then we're very ruthless. Do you know how many careers Wenger and Fergie ended because those players were stubborn. Go and check about Boa Morte and Dwight Yorke and both coaches role in ending their careers. Also it was Wenger that finished Vieira.

The thing is Wenger is sympathetic towards younger players due to he understands their age issues. But none I can remember of Wenger's proteges were stubborn towards him except Vieira. RVP was sold to raise money but he never criticised W. publicly.

Mark my words, I did not say Walcott was better player but that he was a better finisher. Even if I was wrong at least that's what I said which is arguable.

Modified : that should be 2012 or 13. Not sure. Omo we have lived long for NL.

When you mean finisher, you meant someone who's expected to score with the little or no chance he had.
And you're calling Walcott? Walcott finishing that improved after Henry's 2nd coming, that I even suspected that it was henry that taught him some finishing techniques sef.

Forget, Walcott was never a better finisher than any Ronaldo.

Lol... Saka is not a lb, but every single one of arsenal fan will prefer him over kolasinac who is a natural lb everyday every time, twice on weekends.
Greenwood is not a winger but every man u fan will prefer him over James who is a natural winger day in day out.
Why am I bringing this? That xhaka isn't a DM doesn't mean he shouldn't play the dm role well or we shouldnt criticise him wen he's playing there. At least, towards the end of last season, he played the DM role the way that's acceptable to we the fans, if he'd played like that before, who would criticise him? At least not me.
It seems you've forgotten how erratic xhaka was.

There is what is called area of jurisdiction. If you want to judge a fish, place it inside water.

By the way, since Arteta we have been playing without a DM. It's always been a double pivot hence why it seems Xhaka has improved. There is no improvement, it's just him playing his natural role just as he does for his country. That's what Arteta has done. Placing players in their natural role where they feel comfortable. He even got a role for AMN where he can join the midfield and attack has he has always asked for. Ndi analyst hapu m aka. I know I can keep explaining but you people won't learn. Later you will come and say we are going in circles or that's what I have been saying and all those shits.

But really other clubs are now scared of us because of what Arteta has brought. Remember we beat Liverpool twice and City towards the end of last season. Then when they see our new signings making the kind of impact they made against Fulham,...
