Havertz is better than ESR in terms of talents. In terms of performance he is still better.

That does not mean that ESR cannot improve to best him.

... Your first paragraph is without facts but it's okay...

mostob:
Tonali is good. I'd say Jorginho. He is not as physical and defensive as Partey.

He's average 70m is too much for him, that mean locatelli will be worth double of his price
Ask roland17 he can't bench bennacer

germaphobe:
you can't keep ur best player on the bench when you know he can and wants to help the team. Saka was still struggling with the injury even as the represented england, even Southgate said it too. That shows that the injury wasn't too serious. Even tho I support that he should have played nelson more and give him more minutes

Sincerely, I get your point but all I’ve been saying since is getting a someone thatArteta trusts can deputise him so that person can play in domestic Cup games rather than just playing him every games since he doesn’t trust Nelson cause I wouldn’t want that young Man to burn out due to fatigue.

Thought he do start with Bennacer in a double pivot. 70m is too much truly

A player whose only ticket is the champions league final goal he scored 2 years ago? I don’t see it working.

This same guy enjoyed luxury of playing time more than many Chelsea attacking players under different mangers in the last two years, yet, the champions league final of two years ago remains his major highlight. Even with Germany, he is usually on and off. Another question is, where does Arteta plan to play him? He is already in our team sha so I have low er my expectation.

This has been my issue with him but the excuse popping up is that Chelsea was unstable. You'd think that it's not same Chelsea under Tuchel we all knew. Or no be the same Chelsea people like James, mount, kante and chilwell shine

Another excuse is that he's played out of position (as a CF). People are forgetting that he actually played his preferred position as an attacking midfielder under lampard but he underwhelmed seriously. It was so bad that he was drafted to wings, he underwhelmed before finally finding a home at that false 9(CF)

His personal skills, I can't even point at any to see how he'll benefit us. He Isn't a clinical scorer, not a very good creator, not a good dribbler, isn't strong on the ball, isn't a good runner with the ball, even Shot scoring him no get

The only thing na just to hope make him shine and Arteta do him magic. How he shines, I've no idea but I just know if he does, it'll be for the betterment of Arsenal!

LOL.

I laugh sotey , I remember league don end yet we still dey lament.
Arteta is joking with his job.
We had better buy a good partey replacement in M.Coinceiado.
Our attack just need a saka back up of good quality.

But! But!!….I thank God say no be me talk oh!

We’ve placed 35million on Folarin Balogun; I think that’s fair . Anybody that wants him should pay and have him.

I’m reading West Ham are interested in us adding Nketiah to the Rice deal.

I’ve seen rice play and I don’t think he’s worth the whole hype around him and the price West Ham are calling for him. If he joins city he might just end up like the Kalvan Phillips guy .

If Arteta and Edu feels they need Rice , then they should find a way to get a good bargain. As far as I’m concerned , adding Nketiah plus close to 100m for Rice is a no no.

Nketiah is not a mediocre player and we should not portray him as such . If Nketiah wants to leave due to completion in our atttacking options, then we should sell him for good money and not add him to any yeye deal.

All these things Westham is demanding all boils down to Rice being an English player cause I don’t see the reason for them demanding Nketiah to the deal, Nketiah is not mediocre like you said..
I feel if Westham are still demanding Nketiah to the deal, then they should leave him to City cause he must not flop after all these.

Na English players they flop pass, I don't even rate him one bit
We should leave partey and get lavia jare even if jourghino leaves we are still covered
We should move on to xhaka replacement

Exactly, getting Latvia should be the priority sef, I’m only interested in the dude cause Arteta wants him cause I don’t trust the dude sef, but now demanding Nketiah to the deal like he is a finished player is rubbish..

35m for Balogun is not a fair price to me. This dude is about to blow. I think we can keep him and make him fight for shirt. I also think that's what Arteta would e looking at seeing he is not signing any new striker.

The propose bid is just about 90m. If Nketiah should be included it should definitely drop below 60m maximum. However I do not Arteta will want to do a player swap deal.

West Ham rather is rumoured to be interested in Man City's Kalvin Phillips. But Rice doesn't want City. They have Rodri and just signed Kovacic.

He’s not ready to stay on bench and he can’t bench any of those cf we have
Selling him is the right choice with buy back clause

Balogun has made it clear, he’s either promised a good number of games this coming season or he’s allowed to join another club on permanent basis . It’s only fair we put a reasonable price tag on him so whoever wants him can come get him. We will be unfair to him making his exit hard with a huge price tag.

Heard Rice's father is the one who wants a bidding war. He is doing everything to frustrate the deal.


For me, if Westham want Nketiah in the deal, then we offer 50m.

Jurriën Timber has reached a verbal agreement with Arsenal. He would sign until 2028. Now Ajax and Arsenal have to find an agreement.

The bolded- How?

He is an Arsenal player and like every other Arsenal player, he would be given a chance to prove himself and fight for shirt. He will be unfair to both the club and himself if he demands playing time just for the sake of it. That's a wrong mentality.

That said, for me he is a good player and good enough to play for us. I see him as a player that is capable of performing better than the ones we already have.

If he wants to leave, it should come at a cost. A huge cost.

iamoyindamola:

Balogun will easily bench Nketiah and given time will also bench GJ.

He has the stamina and workrate of GJ and adds it with better finishing. Give him the ball to feet inside the box and he is hard to deal with.

Asking for guaranteed playing time is not the mentality we want at Arsenal. So if he wants to leave, let his admirers pay heavily. 50m is not too much to risk on Balogun.

Understand Liverpool asked conditions of Roméo Lavia deal, they’re in the race. Arsenal, working on this deal for 15 days — no official bid from both clubs yet.


😂 More than 2 whole weeks, yet no bid, when they na bid when will the deal be completed

iamoyindamola:

I think Rice deal is what's stalling Lavia's deal. Also, Until Partey leaves, I don't think we will finalize the deal for Lavia. Just saying.

As for Timber, we should get it done soon unless Ajax wan craze.

How confident are you of this squad?

Who would you prefer in and out?

Not much improvement on the first team but definitely enough quality backups. I will love to see improvement on the first team.
