This Tinubu certificate issue reminds us of a certain Buhari. An old man with missing or no evidence of education.

We all know how it is ending. But...

Never again.

Get your PVC.

Roland17:
Before I forget, while I like the rumors and possibilities of signing Raphinha, I do not prioritize his signature or that of another winger over a quality CM, based on the needs of this team. We need 2 quality midfielders (we got one in Viera) and a CF who understands his role is to score goals, anything else is just luxury in my opinion.

We need to sign a quality CM and I hope there is an honest effort to secure the signature of a quality CM that can partner Partey in that double pivot formation Arteta prefers. I am worried that if we secure the signings of Jesus/ Raphinha we may be done with the transfer market and that would leave a gapping hole in that CM position…. I just hope I am wrong, after all they pulled a Viera on us when no one saw it coming!

I think the club wants to get Tielemans. They are relaxed because they are the only ones after him and Leicester wants to play hard ball with his transfer fees. He has one year left on his contract and desperately wants to leave, Arsenal has offered 25m but no response from Leicester. They want to convince him to extend, but I feel the deal will go through once they realise that if they don't take action now, they will not get a replacement soon enough and he will leave for free next season.

Jodera:
if Raphinha comes they should hawk him out of this club. Whether buyer comes or not, make him just go even if na loan.

Also, I don't think Saka affects Pepe in any way. If Pepe was half as good here, Arteta wouldn't have converted ESR to a winger. It's because Pepe issa flop that made ESR become a winger.

Pepe should be sold abegg!!

Pepe is not a bad player, I can tell you for free. His problem is his inability to play with the rest of the team, apart from the fact that Saka was on top form.

Pepe is the type that needs to be in the box not outside and it's the reason why he plays better with Cedric because Cedric overlaps fully taking the winger position and allows Pepe to drift inwards. Without this, he is basically useless as he cannot play with others especially the midfield. He cannot make runs and he hold the ball up.

In another team with flying fullbacks and a coach that takes away defensive responsibility from him, he will thrive as he is a good goalscorer.

However, I don't want him. I wish he would get a new club.

Jodera:
As if you know wetin dey my mind with the way you cancel that Pepe name.

Spy dey call ball players con dey include Pepe.

Pepe na baller type of player na. He only can't play Arteta style plus there is Saka to deal with.

He can leave as soon as there is a buyer.

iamoyindamola:
Balogun should go on loan to either of the newly promoted clubs
Pepe is not in our plans, I'm sure we are not in his too

There will be a lot of games next season coupled with the new 5 man substitutions in PL. Balogun can be used as backup for League cup and FA cup. He needs to start early to master working with Arteta if not he will be another Benik Afobe.

As for Pepe, once we get a buyer I would love that he leaves.

Roland17:
Lord! These signings would be tremendous for our club because they can keep us competitive for a long time if properly managed.

All our front men will be ball players. I wish we will still go for Osimhen. But this is very OK for next season.

Saka
Raphinha
Pepe
Jesus
Nketiah
Martinelli
ESR
Balogun

Jodera:
I tell you, if Raphinha come our Lw will be doubly excellent without running Saka to the ground.

Like iam.oyindamola adviced, make we dash this people Nelson plus some money. I don't know why arsenal no dey ever run transaction like that. No be say oil sheikh dey bankroll us sef

The two of them can play on either wings and can easily switch during attacking play... Mad.

ovoP:
Not an arsenal fan, but raphinha ain't coming tonsit on the bench for saka.. or rotate with saka.. he's coming toown that position.. if you're looking for backup/competition, then £60m is too kuchnfor such profile of player...

This could also bring the best out of Saka.

Jodera:
Aside Saka, we've only two wingers in Martinelli and ESR (if you'd include him as one). Getting Raphinha is never a waste of money at all and we need all the depth we can have.

People keep forgetting that a good strong depth is very important for a long season having Europa commitments plus Pepe na scam. They should just loan or sell that one make we see road small cos na him dey cause all these things like say we get plenty wingers

Saka played that LW almost alone all through last season. This led to serious fatigue and fear of injury. All these because Pepe refused to acquire sense. With Raphinha we can allow Saka take some break and it will be refreshing see any of the two for every game they play.

Roland17:
I respectfully and humbly accept my L on Lukaku with Chelsea. That elephant can disgrace pesin sef!

Lol.

Jodera:
You must be joking I swear

I was indeed joking.

Roland17:
You go catch am for European Football because him no win UCL with Arsenal or wetin? What exactly is this dragging you guys keep talking about?

He failed to win the UCL finals with Arsenal after taking us to the finals and? Was he a scrub for Les Bleus? Was he a carry along for Barcelona? or is he not one of the greatest French player in the history of the National team?

He won CL with Barca, but not for Arsenal. His legendary status here is questionable. Why should we retire his number like he achieved everything for us. We love him, but there more needed

Roland17:
Make una drag una sef..

candidtalk:
Can you people read at all? What "defection"? What 'light' has this desperate and shameless loser seen?

Dude wanted to remain a PDP Senator but lost the primaries, as a seating Senator, to a member of the lower House.

He had no choice but to go and get a ticket from Labour because he is done as a Senator under PDP. Simple as that.

You guys are just swallowing everything the Obi propaganda machine , identical to the IPOB propaganda podium, churns out.

As with Kanu whose shortcomings you ignored, to crowned him a messiah, you people are now ignoring the reality that Obi is a cowardly loser now in a political orphanage home called Labour Party that can only attract other losers like Obi.

When Obi then loses woefully next year you will all be shouting "Obi Presidency or give us Biafra" even as the signs were glaring they were deceiving you as Kanu deceived Igbos for years and made a truckload of money in the process.

I didn't take notice the reason for their defections, however I am also against them joining LP.

But, if you are not Obi-dient, what are you?

IgOga:
Source?

If this is true then Labour Party is beginning to wake up....they need more defections in other regions of the country otherwise they will become another APGA

While it is a good omen that they are defecting because they are seeing the light, we do not want them bad eggs to corrupt the genuine movement for national development.

50d33q:
Comrade will you collaborate with me we should drag th14 he not above dragging

I dey ready...

Roland17:
He is not but as things stand, outside of Wenger, he is the face associated with this club when it comes to club/ identity, especially in the modern era. We have seen several players come through but until someone else surpasses his achievement and even if that happens, he will still be revered.

There is nothing wrong in admitting it and according him the respect he deserves instead of this ridiculous slander that has been going on this thread because of Nketiah and “what ifs”, I think it is absolutely out of place and undeserved. You guys make it easy for debates to start sounding like one hates Nketiah because you have chosen to pitch him against the GOAT.

Make una miss me with this recency bias

Henry is arguably the greatest Arsenal player. But his achievements for us have not reached the point of retiring his jersey no.

What no one has said is that Henry is useless. All we are saying is give Nketiah a chance. Life na jeje o

Pakute:
You must be fooling yourselves. Where is it in your Bible that a prophet was sanctioned for his prophecies whether genuine or not?
When has it become a crime for a prophet to say whatever it is on his mind?.. was he sanctioned when he criticized Buhari?.. hypocritical nitwits.
Catholic Church is notorious for its dictatorial and manipulative tendencies that led to several separatists denomination of Protestants. And if Muslims reacts, I bet you will all cry foul.

Good. Channel your grievance to the church and not Peter Obi.

I know you will not still get sense.

Reality3080:
If mbaka church is locked for criticizing peter obi despite obi being an aspirant,what do u think will happen to anyone that criticize obi when he becomes president?

If a church can be locked cos d pastor criticize obi even when obi himself is a Christian,imagine what will happen to d mosque n imam that criticize obi?

Did Obi order that the church be locked? Is Obi the Bishop of Enugu?

Stop exposing your stupidity in public you are disgracing your children on Father's Day.

Roland17:
The referee had only one job to do and that was to make the game fair and he failed woefully on that day! I don’t think there was anymore we could have done because he proved it would not have mattered.

I swear that game still haunts me and I get upset every time I remember that game. Our run to that finals was improbable. Spearheaded by TH14, we got incredible results against Real Madrid/ Juventus/ Villarreal.

I miss Highbury I swear! Magical nights of scintillating football with results to match.

What did the ref do wrong? The red card to Lehmann was correct. We didn't have a good backup keeper and Barca eventually broke in.

Henry missed several one in ones that was the reason we lost.

Roland17:
Personally for me and this is for me oh, the number 14 should be retired. That number is associated with the GOAT for us and the most successful era thus far in modern football.

It was not just the goals/ assist but his demeanor, mentality, dominance and the fact that he ruled the EPL while he was here and in many cases was the face of the league for a long stretch. The iconic number expanded our fan base across the world significantly.

I don’t like it on another player, even when Walcott/ Auba were here. It is a symbolic number for me. Whenever I see 14, I remember only one player, The Great Thierry Henry!!!

Is Henry the end of Arsenal?

Roland17:
Trust the process na him make J. Embiid neva smell conference finals worth more Championship series since he joined the league 8 years ago. Miss me with that rubbish

No make vess this morning, I wan receive “Oriri Nso” wen I work hard for this past week

Jodera:
Lol, who told you Sod is whining?

He's just telling you that Arteta signature pattern must include a new defender to succeed every transfer window

If he complained before it means he is whining now.

iamoyindamola:
So you see my everytime including CB no be sarcastic post

But you complained that our defense didn't improve from last season. So why are you whining about getting more CBs?

Jodera:
Omo... E weak me ooo.

E be like say wetin you talk na true Baba. Except we're buying him to play DM, if not na another unnecessary signing

See Mostob post up. He has explained everything.

Jodera:
But he is a Lcb not a left back na.

What do we really need another Lcb for?

He can play LB. He is like Tomiyasu.

Jodera:
If they're bringing someone better than him as back up to Tierney and same person can rival Tierney, then they should sell him.

Arteta is bringing Lisandro Martinez from Ajax. A very good player that may even bench Tierney

Jodera:
why won't buy back clause work?

How many buy backs have you seen activated anywhere?

Adding a sell-on percentage is what's workable

Spy360:
Imagine if all the major rumours became true...

GK: Ramsdale, Turner, Leno, Okonkwo

Df: Tomiyasu, Cedric, White, Holding, Saliba, Gabriel, Trusty, Tierney, Martinez, Tavares

Mf: Partey, Tielemans, Elneny, Torriera, AMN, Lokonga, Vieira, Xhaka, Odegaard

At: Saka, Pepe, Raphinha, Nelson, Martinelli, ESR, Jesus, Nketiah, Balogun,

Bloated squad- the following should proceed on loan or be sold

Okonkwo, Tavares, AMN, Torriera, Pepe, Nelson, and if we sign Osimhen, Balogun too.

iamoyindamola:
Buy back must be included

But back doesn't work. Except we would add sell-on fee

Imagine if all the major rumours became true...

GK: Ramsdale, Turner, Leno, Okonkwo

Df: Tomiyasu, Cedric, White, Holding, Saliba, Gabriel, Trusty, Tierney, Martinez, Tavares

Mf: Partey, Tielemans, Elneny, Torriera, AMN, Lokonga, Vieira, Xhaka, Odegaard

At: Saka, Pepe, Raphinha, Nelson, Martinelli, ESR, Jesus, Nketiah, Balogun,

Wike should leave PDP.
