Arteta is not the one involved in negotiations. He said he wants the striker in the team by 19th July so he can join them for pre-season in Asia. A smooth transfer deal depends on agreement between the two teams and their agents. Sporting Lisbon is a problematic club, a lot of clubs have had issues dealing with them.

Leave Sod. Na him way. Before you know, Roland go begin add technicalities and historical proves to the matter.

iamoyindamola:
This is about arteta, if he say he want the player 100% the deal would have been finalized long time ago
Look at the way they handled madueke deal within a week that’s because arteta gave them the green light

Typical. Blame the person you dislike.

Arteta that has given two weeks notice which Bertha did not yield to.

Arteta that is not part of the negotiation

Arteta that is busy with preseason training

But let's crucify him.

I don't give a flying fhuck about Peter obi the stammer, I have always known that Nigerians are daft and st0pid but the height of it was the obedient movement.

Imagine grown adult who thinks a Nigerian politician who Haa been a governor in Nigeria and did absolutely nothing as governor will become president and all the countries problem will be solved overnight. Is it delusion or just because the obi is from a particular section of the country that yet to produce a president in this democratic dispensation? If you're supporting obi because he's a business man then fine, don't come here to gaslight us that a failure like obi is different from Tinubu and others.

What I want you to confirm is if you accept that Bola Tinubu is subpar in governance.

OasisX:


.....Ẹ pé wéré lọkọ Ìyàwó approach. LOL!

Dear APC supporters, here is a juxtaposition of what Peter Obi did versus what Tinubu did when they were both governors.

AI was asked to compare who was better governor between Bola Tinubu and Peter Obi.

I know that you won't open the link for fear of looking silly 😜

But Obidients are uncultured

Bimmarlykay:
We can agree to disagree.

3mb height varies, some sections ain't that high,back to the height/fall/Impact... it all depends on speed and positioning. Since you dive,you should know speed can be reduced before impact..?

How do you reduce speed when falling?

vanitybutiwanti:
you're even going too far. Obidieients are hypocrites, some weeks back Duoye Diri threatened wike and instructed him not to come to his state and a lot of these headless hypocritical obidients cheered him on.

Chances of obi winning the 2027 election is very slim because politicians at the top know that the average Nigerian is a hypocrite, they don't hate corruption or maladministration, they just hate the fact that the person they like or support is not at the helm of affairs. This same obi will do nothing different from what Tinubu is doing today if he accidentally becomes president, he will elevate people around him and make them rich, do one or two shiny sub par project and visit hospitals and university. He's nothing special, he's just another guy man looking to cash out from Nigerias common patrimony.

So first of all you're agreeing and establishing the fact that Tinubu is sub par.

Secondly, you cannot say as a fact that Obi will be like Tinubu.

Thirdly, it's obvious that you know the facts about the EL Rufai issue but hatred for Obi makes you renovate.

BlueRayDick:
People that are beyond secondary school dey register for secondary dey take the normal WAEC steady. All they do is register at a secondary school where they will help them cheat. He's not the first and won't be the last to do it.

Monday just dull naturally; that's why he's scoring D7 in a subject like CRK even when he wrote the exam in a miracle center.

How possibly that guy walked his way up to becoming a Senator and even Governor?

Political parties are useless honestly

purplekayc:
SIGNINGS SO. FAR.......




....

We are having a proper window. Getting quality players across the pitch. Unlike last season when we did rubbish because the board didn't support as much (or perhaps it was Edu)

mostob:
I wouldn't say overpriced though. Elanga and Kudus who had inferior stats were sold around 50m.

It actually depends on the output of the player after transfer.
We got Rice for 105m but today, almost all Arsenal fans think we underpaid for him. Same thing with Ben White who we got for 50m. I think Odegaard too cos I remember some fans preferred we spend such amount on Maddison.

And then, there is Pepe who we got for 72m but gave an output of 20m.

I hope you get what I'm saying bro.

Kudus and Elanga were also overpriced. You can get better players for same value.

Mind you, White too was overpriced as at the time we signed him. Pepe of off the hook entirely. That was a scam.

When you aren't attractive you spend more. Arsenal then wasn't attractive.

Real Madrid get quality players for free.

Odegaard for me wasn't overpriced at 30m. It was a case of Real Madrid letting him go with his contract almost out. We got a decent price judging from his performance with us the previous season.

mostob:
Mbeumo finally joined United. He is a player I admire. He reminds me of Alexis Sanchez, short, fast, tenacious and hard working

Over priced. That's what you get when you're not attractive.

Arsenal used to sign average players with expensive bids. Now we can sign too talents for less

Ibime:
That one no consine me. Check the phrasing of my sentence. No be only Obidients sabi use English to escape corner. Since Obi said "I do not control the Police so cannot have detaiined El Eufai', I have only stated during whose tenure El Rufai was detained, not who he was detained by.

Fool me baby 😂

Ibime:
You don't need an MBA intern, even Okonkwo and Sons can tell you to diversify your portfolio or tell you a 77% loss on investment has performed badly.

And I am easily a billionaire in Naira but that's irrelevant to discussing Obis wack investment.

No wonder you like Tinubu. He gave you relevance 😂

£1 = N2000

Amigoss:
I would have taken your writeup seriously if you were at least a billionaire in naira,Lol MBA intern fit advice Elon Musk on good and bad investments ni

😂

Ibime na the morning cock.

EvilMerodack:
The way you guys make random comments and pass them as facts is shocking


So, all Tinubu's supporters in SW are tribal bigots, but Obi SE supporters aren't

Hope you know Obi had his highest percentage in all Eastern states first( I mentioned Percentage not numbers)


In the end, elections are won by the majority vote and Tinubu has it and he's now the President. That's a fact!

What's fact is that Tinubu stole Obi's votes in Rivers, Benue, Plateau and Lagos.

Even INEC confessed to that

One of my friend dad’s nickname is “àgbà ṣòro da " (Growing old comes with its own complications).

Living through my late dad's experience, old age just comes at you suddenly! One minute you are having the time of your life with your grandkids at your table making you laugh heartily with their shenanigans and the next day you are down with an irreversible medical condition 🤦‍♂️.

That’s why I find it amusing that a man above 70 years of age will be scheming to rule this complex country called Nigeria when there are enough personal headaches to deal with at that age .

It's a shame for any Nigerian youth support the country being over run by old men in their 70s and 80s.

Buhari was the first mistake.

Tinubu is the second.

If Atiku goes again, that would be insane.

Roland17:
Stop misleading people who take your caps as gospel here. Like I always say, these things are public information.

Without even trying hard, a simple search yields results with links to credible sites including Arsenal official site that discredit everything you put up there.

Ok. Confirmed.

Jamiuokolaa:
As culled from the EPL official website

It's clear there.

The SD is the agent of the club. He discusses deals not skills. He speaks with agents not players.

Roland17:
Nwanne, what kind of cap is this? Tell another joke please!

Bertha in his position as Sporting Director oversees Arsenal's scouting, it is in his job description and he has a strong history of scouting players. He infact sends/ directs our scouts to watch players. He did that recently with Ousmane Diomande, defender with Sporting.

Stop the Cap

Bertha is Sporting Director not Technical Director or Director of football. He oversees recruitment and not scouting. He is not a scout. He is a money/business person not a football person.

Bertha will negotiate deals on behalf of the club and manage the player-club relationship.

He will not sign anyone without the directive of the football manager or the academy manager.

Scouts basically reports to the Football or Academy manager. They get talents for the academy.

So saying Bertha discovered any player is going off limits.

BlueRayDick:
The excerpt below from the article vividly described how Buhari frauded his way in 2015 into becoming the worst president to have ruled this country till date.

The author of the article really set leg for those trying to whitewash Buhari's image with this blunt but fair assessment of his misrule.

The fact that people actually defended Buhari while he was implementing these ill-advised policies and governance by nostalgia will always "muze" me sha. Like people actually defended Buhari's closure of boarder.

People like Dayo 'Raumdueter' Thomas

.

Shegzdave:
Those defenders ain’t ready for King Kai

Havertz does not want to hear say we need striker again 😂

Silentgroper:
Saw a clip of that guy today.. he is no more no less of ekitike and even good with his head ..


He'd be better suited to you guys style of play than gyokores ..

Yes but he is puke 😂

daveP:
You're not this slow o, are you?

See what you're using as case study to justify i have no idea of what's going on in my club. 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Is this what you actually use to justify why things are the way they are?


He's suddenly in charge of letting attackers go but when it comes to recruiting, YOU blame the board and the directors for not giving him $$??

Have i asked myself? 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Woh!!! I sha commend you for finally crossing a bridge some of us have crossed 2 seasons ago. E no easy. Meet those of us that have no inkling about our club ahead. E no hard abeg.

You did not address the issue raised.

I don't mind if you drop insults, as you always do in relation to my posts, but please never fail to address the questions. It makes you appear sensible at least.

dominique:
It's this transfer window that made me realise where Arteta is seriously lacking, talent scouting. Man is not good at identifying the right player for the team. If not for Berta, he would have gone for Sesko, an untested striker that has never scored up to 20 league goals in his career. If not for Andres Berta, we would never have signed Zubimendi, Nørgaard, Gyökeres and Christian Mosquera. He would have gone for some dusty average players and we would have opened book lamentations Vol 756. Henceforth, Arteta should just focus on coaching and leave the scouting of players to Berta.

Liverpool don enter race to sign Rodrygo alongside Arsenal, Bayern and PSG. Make we just comot hand for this Rodrygo matter and look for other options for the left wing. Ademola Lookman's management are seriously slacking. All these big clubs are looking for left wingers and his name is not being mentioned amongst any of the players in consideration. He needs to change his management and PR team

Bertha does not scout. So this is where you're wrong. Bertha only negotiates.

Any player we sign for the first team is scouted by Arteta.

What he does is to give the Sporting Director a list of targets and allows him get them according to priority.

Sesko was his first choice. Not because of his ability but because of his age and Arteta considers him as a player with high potentials.

Indeed one cannot deny Sesko has potentials.

The problem with the Sesko deal is not the talent, but those managing him. By asking for impossible wages and a release clause as low as 20% of the signing fee is madness. Hence Bertha pulled away and started going for the second choice.

The way top PL clubs are snubbing Sesko is interesting.

Liverpool and Newcastle going for the more expensive Ekitike instead 😂

Well done Shinedu. The name bigots are afraid of

daveP:
Your mistake is you think one doesn't know what and where to apportion blame and that's why i see your pov as hilarious. Anyways you're gradually coming on to where we once were in school of thought.

When money dey available for attackers, abeg who did he end up buying? Ehn? Man pack defenders and crappy Sterling when money was available for attackers, something Wenger and Emery never did despite the stingy hands available. That's where common sense should kick and dive in

Your own problem is that you have no inkling of what's going on in the club.

Did you realise that Arteta sold two players last summer?
Why would he sell at all when we all know he needed depth? Have you asked yourself?

Have you asked yourself why the players he was willing to sacrifice were attackers?

ESR (attacker) and Nketiah (attacker)

If he was given money to buy attacker then why did he have to sell? And even sell attackers?

This season that you are seeing signings, who has he sold?

Stop playing
