Spy360:

After typing this I expected you to bring your own INEC certified true copy of the line up.

Shegz even showed you line up against Man United and you are still arguing.

Because I am not looking at the line up but positioning

Spy360:

It's just my guess. By the way, when Partey clicked on the role, we saw how Wllolves were easily dismantled in few minutes. Whether you accept or not, it is a tactical move that can succeed given a more reliable player like Caicedo. He did play as RB against us. Na him injure Martinelli.

I ask a question.
Why should we use the ingredients of Rice to cook soup? How does it gel.

If we need that tactical flexibility and tweak, let's get Cancelo then. What's the need of buying Caicedo just to play fullback?
Like what's the advantage?

Using Wolves game, last game of the season, where nothing is at stake for wolves who are already thinking of holiday is a joke.

When we tried that nonsense against Brighton and Nottingham (two important games for all teams involved— ie arsenal, Brighton and Nottingham), we knew how it was useless and how our attack was dead and predictable. We know how we came up short. In fact, Arteta have to ditch the idea 10min into the second half against Forest

E better make we hold our money than buying Caicedo, one of the best Cm in the league, just to convert him to FB.

Who does that?

Who don read that stupid conspiracy theory from Eniola Aluko(Former England female footballer) who said that Man City never really wanted Rice.
In fact, she says it was a ploy by Arsenal to Make Man City fake a bid(like a plan between arsenal and Man city) so that our owners can bring big money at once instead of penny pinching.

Like how does it sound to her ears?

An u are doubting...if it is conceivable then it's possible

Lush100:

It's not possible na.

They(Man City) submitted 90m bid, What if West Ham accepted it?

Moreover, Why will Man city want to help us?

Shegzdave:

Of course I know

Ok, you mean Brighton's right.

Jodera:

because their is a conspiracy in FIFA that told UEFA to tell epl to tell arsenal to let city win the league 😒

It's funny watching arsenal fans on Twitter defend the £105m bid for Rice

BlueAngel444:
I am telling you, everyone is surprised. The FIRST time Arsenal has blown away competition for a player by the amount they bidded.

Going from £75m to £100m a whopping £25m jump, isn't arsenalistic in nature. Was it because it was man city who beat them in EPL competition that provoked kroenke, him no wan lose again

There's this rumor that Arteta called Pep and, as a favor, urged him to convince City to bid higher than Arsenal for Declan Rice. That way, Kroenke would stop pennypinching and bid a serious amount.

If City hadn't bid 80m +10m, Arsenal would've bid that same amount- and have it rejected right off the bat.

All speculations tho.

Read up sef, na exactly the same thing I talk.

Na who go believe that nonsense na wetin I wan know

Currently sef, News going round is that West Ham haven't still accepted the bid due to payment structure as they would want everything by 2025.

I no know which jazz wan dey do arsenal this season wey we just dey act like a simp wey dey in love with a girl wey no send am.

Omorr eh!!

Abi na the 2nd wey we finish last season?

Leyqute:


Ok, you mean Brighton's right.

Yeah boss

iamoyindamola:

This formation is not saying the true picture

Are you sure?cause if you matched the match, you’d have see what I was saying.

I watched the match cause of Caceido that very day.

they have got to call Eghbali, if punches are needed so Sullivan can have sense

And you're sure DZB wasn't playing 3 at the back with Caicedo tucked in at right midfield? His average position in that game will be telling.

Who does that?

First of all, Cancelo has already said he doesn't want to stay in England. So no need chasing him. We actually wanted to sign him.

Secondly, the role of an inverted FB is basically a midfield role. So it does not mean Caicedo will be a defender.

Caicedo has played in midfield and RB positions for Brighton which suggests that he will be comfortable handling both position at a time just as Zinchenko does, and even better in my assessment.

I believe the reason Arteta no longer considers him as priority was because Partey played that position late last season and even though initially he didn't do well, he still caught up with the demands of the position. Recall, Partey actually played some games as a RB for Atletico Madrid.

What this gives us is tactical flexibility.

If you want h that match and recall that it was even Caicedo that injured Martinelli you should know.

Please ignore the pink line

The difference between Zinny and Caicedo/Partey was that Zinny was primarily played as a fullback throughout his stay at Man city while those two was just deployed due to injury to the said player in that position or emergency. It's just like Xhaka who we few times played as a FB.
No dey ever use Zinny as example with them abeg!
When we bought Zinny, every Tom dick and harry knows that he'll come to play Lb and not Midfield.

It would be gross foolishness to buy one of the best CMs in the league just to deploy him as a fullback (whether quasi or not) because of tactical flexibility nonsense

No we already bidded 90 and was rejected I knew city first bid will be rejected too

iamoyindamola:

It's risky tho. It depends on payment structure. If the structure is favourable, they might accept it.

Afterall, shebi one of the reasons Shaktar accepted Chelsea's bid for Mudryk over our bid is payment structure

Leyqute:

Na she Sabi the conspiracy theory wey she dey yarn

Roland17:

The main person that said so is Eniola sha. Saying she's a technical director and that she's done such before gave grounds for people to believe such to happen.

But it's too unbelievable to believe.
Maybe that can work in females' negotiation but certainly not in male where the rivalry and competition is very high

Being a sporting director doesn't necessarily mean I would believe such absurdity and I doubt it happened the way she is now presenting it, if a similar thing has occurred before.

So far so good
Only arsenal is fighting against arsenal for rice
As much as I don't want this deal it might just happen because rice is getting involved telling westham to accept the offer and remember the agreement with them
Arsenal want installment in 4 years westham want 18 months 🤣🤣

I also doubt such a similar thing have happened before
