Jodera:
Balogun is 19yrs. I don't see how he can't vie for 2nd choice striker in view of becoming a first team striker the following season

At least, let's know our stand on him and make him ready. It's not as if he's a 16 or 17yr old guy oo.
By next season(after this coming season) he'll be 20yrs. I don't think that will be too young to become a first team player if he's ready

That's what I am saying. He should be a second striker. I don't want the situation that happened with Saka when we had to depend solely on him for chance creation.

Jodera:
Well, I admit I didn't factor in afcon but I'm not sure most of our important players(youngsters) will go for Olympics.

Keeping fingers crossed sha on balogun. Just wanna see what he got in store next season for us.

I don't want to put much burden on Balogun. We must allow him to develop slowly.

Jodera:
Whether white is better than what we got or not is irrelevant. Even if balon dor van dijk or Ramos is available for 50m, it'll be foolishness to buy any now. For crying out loud, our defence isn't doing so badly and we still have saliba to add to that list(who himself isn't bad on his loan). What we need is creativity and goal scorers and even fullbacks. Adding another Cb is foolishness and misplaced priority of the highest order.

And this isn't kroenke loss but arsenal as a club loss... It just shows if the reports are genuine that Edu and Arteta and Scams

It's a senseless deal offcourse but it's not my money that's my point.

Even if it's Arsenal's loss, it's still Kroenke that owns it. Nor be so?

Jodera:
Let's look it this way. Auba can't go to the bench(cos he has signed contract and a huge pay, plus he's the captain). Meaning he'll play most matches, especially as we don't have any Europe distraction. Buying another striker will surely surely take away balogun growth time, cos I don't expect Auba to sit out for that striker. So the best is to use that to grow balogun, and in most cases blend balogun and auba up top together. (Just the way Wenger blended henry and Rvp and prepared Rvp for the striker role)
Everyone knows Auba isn't auba of before, but one thing I'm certain is that arsenal as a club won't bench auba esp when he's still a core member of the team.
Let that money be better served for winger.
Well, the only reason I might consider we buy a striker is if auba will agree to become 2nd choice striker. Finish!
Else, if we buy another striker, we might as well loan out balogun than killing his career on the bench. Cos definitely balogun won't see game time at all

You have not taken the possibility of injuries into consideration and the fact that the AFCON and Olympics will draw away many youngsters.

That aside, with Auba aging, Balogun may become our ESR next season if we fail to get a decent support for him. Besides Auba will leave after next season, so it will also be a safe period to try out his replacement.

Jodera:
That Ben arfa was consistent?

The whole discuss.

How on earth can one match be enough to convince me to spend millions on a player?

Jodera:
Ben arfa which consistent? He's one of the most inconsistent player with such great talent same as Martial. If you look at Martial on his good day and claim he's not a talent, then "hmmm", I dunno what to say...

This case is dead on arrival.

Jodera:
If this club renew Laca contract, then I'll know they're dumb.
Also, the person deceiving Amn that he should stick to Midfield when he can actually play Rb no try for him career at all. Since he's so adamant on playing Midfield, the club should sell... Amn, lacazette, willock, bellerin, xhaka, nketiah.

Buy all the positions you talked about except Cf. Instead we should buy a winger.

And here's my reason.
We have balogun. Why I wouldn't want us to throw him in next season, but then, next season ought to be a big season for him. We have Auba to Mann that position and balogun to transition in as 2nd striker in view of displacing him. Also, martinelli should be played on both the wings and cf so that if anything happens to Auba, we know we have to able strikers to fill in the void.
Buying a young striker like isak is potentially killing balogun slot and Martinelli hope of playing as 9 for us.

Also, I've been taking note of isak in Spain. While his first season wasn't so good, last season was good and he improved considerably. I wanted to watch him this coming season to make up my mind, but this euros I feel have opened up people's eyes to him.
Anyways, I feel we should just be shrewd in that our striking department and buy a very good goal scoring winger and creator. Auba can still give us 1 more season, then from next season, Balo and Marti will think of taking over. We just have 2 wingers in saka and Pepe. Marti can play wing too but we need another right footed winger. Willian can be coming 85min to close out game or he can just be eternally glued to bench and/or playing carabao cup

You are assuming Auba will be Auba. But I am doubting that seriously. If not that he has extended already, I would have said release him. Even if we put him up for sale tomorrow, no one will ask of him without cutting our throats.

We need another striker. He does not have to be Isak, but someone that is decent enough. There are some decent strikers in leagues eastern Europe that can serve us as both a backup for Auba and support for Balogun. Martinelli for me isnt cut out for CF.

Jodera:
haven't holding signed a new contract this just concluded season?
Anyways, this club is a joke and there's no rationale or justifiable reason why they should buy another defender. Wen we should be thinking of how to incorporate saliba and he's placing 50m for white. Are we planning on playing 5 at the back next season?

Well, I no put my mind for arsenal transfer window this season, lemme just see which player(s) we'll field by end of Aug/Sept.

That Edu and Arteta just no wan get sense

Let Kroenke suffer loss. If White is better than what we've got, no qualms. I doubt it though.

Fools shouting leave Niger Delta alone are not even from there. They are fulani

Arsenal usually report a squad depth of 25players per season. 5 of those must be given to academy players this season. The likes of Balogun, Azeez, Okonkwo etc must have a place in the squad. The development of Saka and ESR have shown that a lot can come from there.

1. Onana can come for as low as 7m.

2. Sell AMN, buy a RB. Sell Belerin buy a LB.

3. Sell Xhaka, add money buy Locatelli; buy Sander Berge or any decent DM; buy Madison or any decent AM.

4. Sell Lacazette, add money buy Isak or any decent striker.

We won't spend more than 150m net.

johnjunior39:
When I thought superstory have ended

250m is unrealistic for a lie lie board like ours.

What do we really need?

Arsenal chasing Ben White with 50m can do better.

We need...
1. A back up keeper or outright replacement for Leno.

2. Two fullbacks, Left and Right

3. Three midfielders, a CM (if Xhaka leaves), a DM and an AM.

4. A replacement for Lacazette. I don't want him to extend.

Arsenal say they are aiming at spending up to 250m on new players. If they succeed in spending 150m, I will rate the board high.

Jodera:
.....Reason why I don't normally look at cup tournaments when assessing player for a club to buy. I mostly just use cup tournament to confirm my basis of the player(s) instead of purely rating the players on cup basis.
Look at Kane for example, if most of us don't know who Kane is, we might be skeptical of his true talents not knowing he is just off-sync with this present England squad so far.

How I judge players during cup competition is their movements and ball control. Passion will deceive any scout

Educationalserv:
been over daft is when u can understand that the Navy is not a static institution like ipob but can envolve with the current global warfare .The Navy currently have infantry assaults battalion ,Navy fighter pilot .Like wise the amry is currently having an airwing not control by the airforce .but in you ipob reasoning the Navy must remain static and not change with time .your swine leader didn't tell you that the Navy established base during Jonathan in lake chad area .

It's all part of the stupidity we are talking about. But Buhari's own is more stupid

Educationalserv:
useless swine leader .been in the Navy does not restrict you to fighting in the sea . The us Navy seal are operational in desert in Iraq and Afghanistan. and are all round combat troop .but the swine leader without gut that cannot even graudute from Nusuka is talking

There is a whole diffrence between US Navy Seal, US Marine and Nigeria Naval Force. Stop being daft.

I know that one lamidi KANU urine guzzling Igbo will quote me. KANU can only wail, wail and wail, Nothing will happen.

May your future and that of your future generations be like what Buhari is making Nigeria. Amen.

BlueRayDick:
I will comment on my expectations about the new season when I see how we fared in the transfer window when it officially closes.

Abusing the coach, cursing the club management etc won't change anything

There is no focus on the type of deal the club wants to do. They are just jumping from one failed option to another. At the end they will settle for nothing. Madison is a good player, but that deal will not go through unless mad money both in fees and salary are involved. This is not what we want.

It is likely that your decoder is not having the biss key. or some times they dont allow broadcast because tv right issue that is why it will remain blank

The signal of the tp goes red once match starts and returns oafter the match, so boss does not break it.

16e majorly is doing justice to euro 2021 my combination 16e Primary and 26/28e got be covered.

Which 16e channel?

richie240:
....and we go back to square one: Does it make sense that d 'king' is being victimized by d 'slave'?
How can a 'king' (which u claim u are) be agitating against a 'slave'?
Nwannem, u don chop?

I am neither slave nor king. I am just a child of God. Read my signature.

Meanwhile,...
Ecclesiastes 10:7 I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.

A Fulani nomad is sitting on your head. It is an anomaly. I dare you to rise up and break his yoke off your neck. You are a freeborn.

Kalvin Phillips performance for England just saw his stock rise ×2

SodO9:
Awon werey many of us here are better scout/coache than them

Lol.

richie240:
Nwannem, are u not contradcting urself?
U call urselves 'kings' and in d same breath wail day and night that ur 'slaves' are marginalizing u and dt d slaves shd let u go.
hian!
#which_levos

It's because of that fact that we are agitating. People like you who are comfortable with the settings only tend to show slave mentality, unless you prove me otherwise and join the agitations.

richie240:
Hehehehehe......
#self_consolation

who's wailing over 'marginalization' as we speak?
Hehehehe....nwoke, don't tell us 'slaves' are marginalizing 'kings' o

Slaves cannot marginalise kings, that's why we are rejecting the anomaly. But wait o, do you really enjoy your slavery status?

authority2006:
There is a reason for the ban. As long as that reason is addressed, everyone wins.

Guess what? June12protest is trending everywhere on twitter. So there's only one winner. In reality, I don't blame Buhari, I blame his handlers. The illiterate president doesn't know shiit about twitter.

richie240:
Hwhehehehe.....so who's crying tooth and nail about 'marginalization' now?
A king....or a slave?

It's a king that will protest. A slave will always accept whatever condition he sees. Fulani slaves since 1804, when will you be free?

authority2006:
The suspension is temporary, or you read it somewhere that it is permanent? You're in sifia pain

If it's temporary then the president of Nigeria is not a serious individual. Mumu president

richie240:
Nwanne, I was right afterall.
With ur mode of reasoning, I knew at once u are 'nwanne'.
#so_predictable
Ndo!

At least I am not a slave

Flexherbal:
For me, I have cousins in the east, west north and south.

Igbo will love you but hate your character. Igbos do business everywhere and with everybody, we do not discriminate as we have respect for others as we do ourselves. I have friends all over the country but cultural and religious differences cannot make us one. The best thing is to exist as neighbors. There will still be peace and prosperity through love and business enterprise. But to be called One Nigeria is a big NO.

richie240:
Hehehehehehe.... e pain dem!

Nwanne, is it ur 'foól'?
Biko, lefam like that!

Pain who? In fact I want to call him a fool, so let him call off the ban.

Meanwhile, don't call me nwanne if you're not Igbo.
