Night market

daveP:
Business is really bad this 2020. Who saw Sevilla's dig at our Gunnersaurus?

Blame covid . Bro ..this year should just do and go. I'm fed up sef

mostob:
After Partey deal, arsenal should try get one more player preferably an AM.
If that Brentford player is good, they should get him even if it is on loan.

He's the best player for Brentford
I doubt they will release him unless we give them like for like maybe Smith rowe or ozil

iamoyindamola:
saliba may go too

Yea...Leeds maybe

Lol. I'm really praying no key player tests +ve for now. I really want to see Martinelli back on the bench too

mostob:
No mind those people. They want him to be playing like modric+KDB*Makelele combined

Lol. We go dey alright. I wish we landed him tho.


As for Ollie Watkins.... Very Calm boy as she slotted his hattrick away.

Yea ...but I'm sure the opportunity of playing in the first division and getting more exposure might work in our favour.

Martinelli ...the first time I watched that guy, I saw a bit of Sanchez in him. So gutted about his injury. I hope he comes back soon. And I think he has some kind of on-field rapport with Tierney especially when they got to play together in Europa League.

But you want loan..how will they find replacement abi you think they are not hustling for promotion too

You're right sha .

kokaneprodigy:
On loan for that matter, with the hype one would have thought we wouldn’t be begging for a loan deal for him after hawking him all over Europe. I no blame them na Emery I blame.
You know see Spy dey ask “what’s wrong with sideway passes?”

You use side way passes to retain possession. That's the primary job of CMs. Forward passes occasionally yes, but mostly side way passes due to the tightness of the position of the field they find usually find themselves. Forward passes or defense splitting passes are mainly for AMs.

If I am wrong prove me.

Yes Aston Villa’s CMs and Mou’s CMs were throwing more of sideway passes yesterday.

Baba all dis Ur old school football philosophy just get as e be Jàre.

Fabregas, DE Bruyne are modern CMs that play forward and defense splitting passes. Those are the kind of CMs every team desire nowadays not some Guendouzish or Jorginhoish kinda CM that will make eye pepper u when watching them play the kinda of CM role u narrated up there

Jodera:
Lol, I didn't feel we weren't cool before. I've always insisted on xhaka been a sub player esp if a good DM comes. I admitted he's improved but he's still a squad player at best.

And in terms of sideway passes, elneny trump xhaka and not otherwise. In fact, I never liked elneny b4 cos of his sideways passes

Elneny nah good player during Wenger days not afraid to make some decisions, good with tackles pre injury time though after he came back from injury he never remain the same Elneny nd bench also added to his woes plus Emere never rate him just as Arteta never rate Torreira....

Modified: He is an upgrade on Xhaka who just play to the back to restart possession even when he suppose to face upfront and start attack but brother Xhaka go still pass back go meet leno or luiz.

Fabregas and KDB are AMs. That's the problem of arguing with you.

Jorginho and Guendouzi are CMs hence their frequent side passes.

FYI,

I am not saying forward passes are not done by CMs, I repeat they mostly do side passes due to the tightness of the position they find themselves similar to why defenders mostly do back passes. Luiz as a defender does many back passes but only occasionally will he do long forward passes because of his ability.

It will take a rare skillful player like Cazorla (if he is positioned at CM) to transit forward to give those defense splitting passes.

Like I said before, side passes are USED to retain possession. This is simple logic please.

Felipe Anderson is available for loan, can't we just hijack the deal instead of him going to Porto.
Gaddamit
We badly need AM

Alaye Fabregas is a CM any day, any time

De Bruyne on the other hand has played as a winger, CM and AM.

I knew u were going to say something like "That's the problem of arguing with you "

I'm in a good mood this night, I won't start a long argument over this anyways.

What I am saying is; football has moved beyond CM's just doing sideways passes upandan the field. Simple

make arsenal announce Partey's signing, make I go sleep.

Players can be deployed any where. But they have their primary positions.

Let's not argue this one. Fabregas is an AM. He even played as false nine for Barcelona. He plays just behind the lone striker. Same as KDB. Jorginho plays in deep midfield just in front of the defenders. It is even in these modern times that you will find CMs having major roles. Before, the goalkeeper will just punt the ball forward. But now they pass from the back, and when they do so they start with a side pass. If they use a forward pass it becomes more probable for the receiving player to lose the ball, but with a side pass it is easier to retain possession. Once again simple logic.

You get time, Bros. Some guys know nothing about football especially Arsenal fans. They don't even understand any football logic...

CMs are known to guide their lines and not attack. Stop this shithole argument...

The way u dey talk this shout this simple logic ehn....make I no talk wetin dey my mind

My initial post to u was clear. I know the major role of CMs, i said the world has moved on to an Era where CMs must play forward passes to help their team when need be. Take a player like Guendouzi for example, he could go on and on and on and do sideways passes till eternity and we would have players upfront yawning for just one simple forward pass.

Nobody wants to watch that week-in week-out. Why do u think iamoyindamola and Kokaneprodigy keep calling for his head?

My sister, most of us here na just to criticise. Once someone criticises a player, other will not even reason the stuff na to just dey condemn.

Is Guendouzi Santi Cazorla or Thiago Alcantara? If you want magicians get one. If you can't afford them, manage the clone you have. Just as Arsenal cannot afford Aouar, so Ceballos will now kill himself?

Why I don't fault Guen's side passes is because that is his primary job. Yes he can give a forward pass now and then but that is the job of the AM. As a CM, if he keeps playing only forward passes or more often, he will be losing possession very frequently and fans will call for his head.

Nobody says he should play only forward passes. That's an attempt to quote me out of context; the point is we shouldn't dote solely on a CM who does sideways passes only and that's all.

At least you saw a picture I posted earlier when someone joking said Elneny should be told forward passes are not Haram. That is to tell you that fans at least expect him to at least make forward passes where there's need for it and not for him to pass to the back again.

If you watch Ceballos well u will see instances when even when he's pressed he wiggles out of it and make a meaningful pass forward to set up the attack. That's the kind of CM fans want to watch these days. That's what I'm saying

iamoyindamola:
Kokaneprodigy see your guy way people say na psg and Barca they rush am
He they wear opposite Brighton jersey

Photoshop brother. he has been given the jersey number 8

OFFICIAL: Official: Atletico confirm Arsenal have signed Thomas Partey !!!

Goodluck to him, hopefully he plays well for them and we get a chance to make good money from his eventual sale

Wahala be like bicycle; Jack Wilshire has terminated his contract with West Ham.

It's so sad he's to the full potential we saw in his youth
