Arsenal FC | 2024/25 Season

[Amjid Javed]

Embarassing- the celebrations etc for finishing 2nd?!

Literally embarrassing and I'm not an Arsenal fan.

This is what happens in this fan base.

Uve got Topspin, immy69, Mamoon to name a few that will be celebrating like its greatest achievement in clubs history.

The kronkes are loving it, as most of these losers are happy with just competing.

Even the crystal Palace manager has won same number of trophies as Arteta has now.

A new set of excuses will be rolled out next season.

@Amjid Javed

I’m delighted that you managed to find your secret stash. I was worried what you would do without it.

Where was it hidden?

Enjoy ur night out celebrating the "progressin Europe trophy".

Your as mentality weak and pathetic as the club captain Odegaard. But but we are proud of what we did in the CL

The captain dissapeared this season, just like you did. Ran off like a gutless coward for 3 or 4 months, then over celebrated a win over Real, only to end season with nothing.

 

[Amjid Javed]

So Arteta and Odegaard repeating same rubbish they have at end of the last 4 or 5 seaaons. All about "next season"

No wonder Evra called Arsenal "netflix FC"

Zero accountability, but always excuses, always PR

The fact manager and captain love throwing around the word "proud"

It's embarrassing, but when the gutter rats in fan base are happy its no shock

 

[Markhor]

Frustrating game from our side, first half we were the better side and created some good chances but Raya was brilliant

Second half Arsenal started better and we got punished for Gordon giving the ball away cheaply but what a strike by Rice

2nd confirmed for Arsenal for 3rd season running, they'll need to go one better next season otherwise I don't think Arteta will have too many defenders left

As for us, as I expected for a while it's going down to the last game

Big drop in striker quality after Isak. Could do with an improvement over Wilson especially given Isak's injury record.

However every man and his dog is looking for a centre forward this summer, and there aren't many obvious candidates around, so not easy to recruit.

You guys missed Isak. No disrespect, to Callum Wilson but he’s not even half as good as him.

We saw in the Carabao cup tie the problems he gave to Saliba and Gabriel, which tells you everything about how good he is.

Yeah, the drop is huge and it's been a problem throughout the season for us

Wilson has been a great servant for us but he is done at a decent level, when he plays at a high intensity his body breaks down and when he plays at a lower intensity he offers almost nothing

He's out of contract and hopefully isn't offered a new one

It's important we either sign a striker or sign wide player than can play up front, some like Mbuemo would be ideal because with some form of European football next season we will have a lot of games and we can't put that strain on Isak

I think they should buy Kai Havertz from us

Mbeumo, bowen, semenyo are 3 players Newcastle could obtain.

Plenty of players from teams 7th to 17th for the top 5 or 6 teams to take players from

 

[Amjid Javed]

I think they should buy Kai Havertz from us

Same player who one minute you call trash, then call one of top 10 strikers in world.

But when you post like your a tranquilized horse, then it's no surprised.

Season ticket renewal time.

Shock horror - Josh kronke suddenly announces Arsenal will invest in summer

Just in time, whilst new merchandise is released.

Time for the lemmings to run to club shop and fill the kronkes pockets

 

[Amjid Javed]

So the ladies team show men how to win a trophy. That being a CL trophy.

It's a shame the men team manager is clueless.

Against all odds too . It seems like a tactical masterclass by the womens manager . Arteta must be on the phone .

Do they show women's football in Peshawar? Congratulations @Mamoon

Barca had won 22 trophies in last 5 years and pretty much hammered everyone they play.

So that was a tactical masterclass to keep Barca out.

Just shows what a new manager can do in a club, inheriting a team and getting them over the line

 

[Amjid Javed]

Josh kronke is milking Arsenal ladies winning a trophy. If he had any sense with mens team he would sack the manager at end of season

https://twitter.com/x/status/1927737806526284028

Don't worry the 3 Arteta cheerleaders in this thread will make excuses still.

The irony is one of these cheerleaders harped on about how ex players, pundits rate Arteta so called highly.

My response was to that was ex players like keown, parlour etc.. have paid media jobs with Arsenal so won't say a bad thing about the the club

Henry as you can see is a fan of the club, an ex player. Buy as he has no direct media job at Arsenal. He will actually tell you like it is

Petit, Vieira are others who have similarly said the same as Henry.

As is the fetishi for the losers in the fan base they will keep rolling excuses out for this failed manager.

He's Spot on. Bottom line is, when it comes to the crunch, Arteta has bottled it.

 

[Amjid Javed]

So RB Leipzig was 90M+ for sesko, A player who hasn't even managed 15 league goals in a season, during his 2 seasons in Germany.

Just for context you have kane scoring goals for fun over there.

Arsenal need a striker who is going to make the difference now, not someone who will be fully developed in 2 or 3 seasons time.

If sesko went to Liverpool, he would have zero pressure, as salah is there to score most of the goals, he could take time developing

Sesko at Arsenal would be a rotation option with the havertz. Also expected to be a so called difference maker and get club over the line.

Will see as usual how serious this club is about getting players to take team up a level, or just be content with more project players

So Sesko instead of Gykores?

You also need a playmaker to feed strikers. Will Odegaard remain or look for an improvement?

 

[Amjid Javed]

So Sesko instead of Gyökeres?

You also need a playmaker to feed strikers. Will Odegaard remain or look for an improvement?

Sesko may become a very good player in 2 or 3 years time, like I said if he went to Liverpool or somewhere else where he's not expected to be the main goal scorer he can develop.

At Arsenal we keep hearing excuses that Arsenal need a finisher to get them over the line. Asking a 21 year old kid with an average record in German league is not the guy. Arsenal don't have that luxury of having another project player.

Gyokeres has shown he can perform in CL, international level, also at age of 26 is more developed as a striker.

Personally I think Arsenal should look at Lautaro Martinez, yeah he would cost a lot of money to prize away from inter, but that's level of striker Arsenal needed

Odegaard as usual turned up in dead games at end of season. Arsenal need to upgrade on him and remove him as captain.

Arsenal should actually offer him, plus cash to Man united for Bruno.

You put Bruno in a better team and he would thrive.

Odegaard would be perfect for united and their fight for midtable places next season.

 

[topspin]

£90m+ for Sesko is high risk for someone who needs a lot of development.

I have a feeling this is Arteta getting his own way here.

I can understand why he wants Sesko. Stylistically, I do think he’s a better fit, as unlike Viktor Gyokeres, he’s a good header of the ball and has a higher ceiling.

Having said that, Arsenal need someone who can hit the ground running and I’m convinced the swede is far more likely to accomplish that compared to the Slovenian youngster, who still has some rough edges in him.

If it was up to me, I would have signed both Gyokeres and Delap. You can get both of them for around the same fee that Leipzig were asking for their striker.

Merino and Havertz are certainly not good enough to be starting in the team as CFs and I’m not convinced either of them are good enough to be the second choice CF for Arsenal. That are decent 3rd and 4th choice CFs for rotation.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Every fan with an ounce of common sense can see that Arteta will get havertz into the starting line up no matter what

60M+ and highest paid player at club, Arteta ain't going to bench a player, that he knows no other club (other than man united) would be stupid enough to sign for such a fee or on those wages.

But but he offers link up
But but he's bulked up in the gym
But but he's being misused
But he holds the ball up
But but he's top 10 striker in world

The fact that a failed midfielder in merino, looked more potent and clinical then havertz as a make shift striker says it all

Arteta isn't interested in winning titles, he's just a glorified PR merchant for the club. He's ego is set on trying to prove a piece of dog turd (havertz) can be turned into a decent player. Havertz will start season as Arsenal main striker

Sesko will be eased in and will be happy with rotation. Longterm sesko could become a very good player. Right now Arsenal, need a win now striker.

I'm sure the following excuses will be rolled out by one of 3 posters.

"He's only 21"
"He needs a few seasons, he's new to PL"
"He's the new isak"

So Berta job is just to negotiate deals for players the Manager wants. Wonder how long before he does what Edu does and walks out.

Essentially Arsenal are just doing a rebuild on youth project 3.5 or 4 during Emirates era

Sesko scored 13 Bundesliga goals this season

Marmoush who was at frankfurt for half a season got 15. When players like kane, schick, Guirassy are scoring for fun.

a return of 13 league goals is **** poor.

technical, ability wise i can see a good player. He would be ideally suited to a Liverpool, City where he can develop as they have main strikers who already score goals and he could take time to develop.

Arteta is just doing what wenger did at back of his stint at Arsenal, interested of recruitment. Sign young players with resale value, rather then players who will help you win now.

 

[topspin]

This season has been nothing short of failure for Arsenal but credit to Rice for his performances in Europe. The only PL player to make UEFA's team of the season. A certain agenda driven Man Utd poster has been left with egg on his face.

The only consolation is the world club cup coming up in 2 weeks.

As for me living rent free, it's the other way round. That's why you spend more time posting on the Arsenal thread than the Man U one.

Anyway, now that the Rice debate has been settled, we can move forward.

Agree. The debate has been settled.

Arsenal have won nothing again, even with the signing of Declan.

 

[Mamoon]

If Rice stays fit, he will be top 3 midfielders in the world very soon if he is not already. He is turning into Arsenal’s Gerrard/Lampard type figure.

Arteta has made him believe that there is a lot more to his game than defending. He is now willing to dribble and shoot. He still hasn’t hit his full potential in terms of scoring goals. There is a lot more to come.

With the signing of Martin “I rejected Liverpool” Zubimendi, one of the best #6 in the world, Rice will have even more freedom to push forward.

In addition to the above signing, it’s important to renew Partey’s contract as well. He is still a top player when fit and he has largely overcome his fitness woes now.

Arsenal might have overpaid for Rice at face value but you have to pay what the market demands and Arsenal couldn’t afford to miss out on him.

I have no hesitation in stating that he is better than Bellingham. His all-round play is superior.

Bellingham was insanely hyped due to his first season at Madrid where he basically played as a CF and got a lot of goals. Last season he played as a traditional midfielder and he wasn’t exactly the unstoppable force of nature as some thought.

The Barcelona midfield have run circles around him this season a dozen times and even Arsenal made him look poor.

Hes' nowhere near top 3. Please list your top 5 mids in the world game?

Rice has been brilliant in some matches and poor/average in others. His improvement in running forward with the ball is impressive but lacks in many other areas such as through balls but I guess this was Odegaards role, who has turned into a donkey this season.

Odegaard has always been a he had 1 seaaon where he over performed above his normal level.

As usual certain fans got over excited and started claiming he was world class and that he would walk straight into Madrid and Bayern teams. This is how deluded a lot of Arsenal fan base is sadly.

Premature ejaculation and delusion are biggest two problems in this fan base thst are happy not winning anything

Midfielder is a broad term, as it includes CAMs as well. I will restrict this to CMs. Below is my top 5:

1. Pedri
2. Vitinha
3. Valverde
4. Rice
5. Fabian Ruiz

Pedri is the best CM in the world by a mile, and both Rice and Fabian Ruiz deserve to be in the top 5 based on their performances in the last 12 months. I have excluded Rodri because we don't know how well he will perform after his injury but if he is back to his best, he is definitely top 3 as well.

 

[topspin]

Bruno has been better than any Gooners Bottlejob midfielders

I rate Bruno very highly but I can only laugh at this because of the unfortunate timing of your comment. It's only been two weeks since Bruno dropped a stinker in an European final, that too in a downgraded version of the tournament.

 

[topspin]

Midfielder is a broad term, as it includes CAMs as well. I will restrict this to CMs. Below is my top 5:

I agree. A CAM is part of the what's known as "the front 4", so it's important to distinguish CAMs from other midfielders especially in the modern game, where one midfielder sits deep (as a DM), one sits behinds the centre forward (CAM) and the other sits somewhere in between as a number 8.

When 4-4-2 was the meta, the two central midfielders would occupy similar positions in the midfield. The support striker is broadly the equivalent of today's CAM.

1. Pedri
2. Vitinha
3. Valverde
4. Rice
5. Fabian Ruiz

Pedri is the best CM in the world by a mile, and both Rice and Fabian Ruiz deserve to be in the top 5 based on their performances in the last 12 months. I have excluded Rodri because we don't know how well he will perform after his injury but if he is back to his best, he is definitely top 3 as well.

Good list. With Valverde and Rice, you could go either way.

Bruno has been better than any Gooners Bottlejob midfielders

Bruno himself is one of the biggest bottlejobs in PL history.

Jorginho and Tierney among 20 Arsenal players released

Jorginho and Kieran Tierney will leave Arsenal upon expiry of their contracts on 30 June, the club have announced via their retained list.

Italy midfielder Jorginho, who is set to sign for Brazilian side Flamengo, joined the Gunners in a £12m deal from Chelsea in January 2023 and went on to make 79 appearances.

Scotland international Tierney signed for the north London club from Celtic six years ago for a reported fee of £25m.

The left-back made 170 appearances before signing for La Liga club Real Sociedad on loan during the 2023-24 season.

After returning to Emirates Stadium, he made just 13 Premier League appearances this term and now is set rejoin boyhood club Celtic.

Thomas Partey's contract is also due to expire at the end of June but talks are ongoing over a new deal for the midfielder.

England international Raheem Sterling moved to north London on a season-long loan from Chelsea but he will return to Stamford Bridge after scoring just once in 28 matches.

Women's Champions League winner and England international Chloe Kelly, who joined Renee Slegers' side on loan in January, is undergoing contract talks with the Gunners upon the expiry of her Manchester City deal.

The list was compiled of men's players and scholars who have represented Arsenal at first-team, under-21 and under-18 levels along with members of the women's squad.

Arsenal contracts: Kieran Tierney, Jorginho, Raheem Sterling, Thomas Partey, Chloe Kelly

Jorginho and Kieran Tierney are among the 20 Arsenal players set to be released from the club upon expiry of their contracts.

Rumours Gyokeres is going to man united. Which is crazy, surely if Arsenal want to sign him he’d choose Arsenal given the current positions of the club. I’m not too enthralled with the prospect of Sesko, I’d even prefer Delap over him and he’s gone to Chelsea already.

Cunha, Mmbeumo, maybe even Gyokores. Man united are doing extremely well in their position. Putting Arsenal to shame.

Absolute rubbish. Man U have no pull when compared to Arsenal, City and Liverpool.

None of the top clubs want him that’s why Man U have a chance of signing him.

Everyone knows he wants to join Arsenal but Arteta/Berta don’t want him.

£5m for a backup keeper who’s done well for Bournemouth last season is good business.

Looks like their are already issues on the "done deal" for zubemendi that the club was rolling out in January.

Now we are being linked to some Greek project player.

Arsenal can't afford another underwhelming transfer window.

A new striker and LW is a must.

City, Liverpool and Chelsea are all being decisive in transfer window. Arsenal as usual seem to be dithering as usual..

I'm sure Berta will get blame if signings don't happen. Arteta fans can use a new excuse for failure

The Greek player that Arsenal are linked to is quite baffling for two reasons. We have Max Dowman, who has a very high ceiling and secondly why waste so much money on a project player, who’s going to remain with his club for another season.

I know this worked with Saliba but the circumstances were different and he was a special talent.

It’s not the first time I’ve heard Zubimendi is going to reject Arsenal for Madrid. Let’s see how this turns out. I think the player is the issue here. He did the same thing to Liverpool last season, so if we do miss out on him, I won’t be too disappointed because he’s giving me red flag vibes.

What has frustrated me is that we didn’t sign Liam Delap. No brainer with his £30m release clause. Gary Linkear and Akinfenwa have both said that they are surprised that have Arsenal overlooked him.

Agreed. Massively surprised, the quality of players we are linked to are willing to come to UTD who offer no European football and are struggling.

Also they will vastly improve our side, and would improve a Goal shy Gooners team 100%

Yeah the Greek player makes no sense as we have Nwaneri and dowman. Also 30M on a "project player" when midfield needs better quality makes no sense. Nor does it put pressure on non-performaning captain in midfield.

Zubemendi seems like a lot of Spanish players, where he's happy in home conforts of Spain. He's probably wanted a Barca move which didn't happen, nows he's holding out for Madrid. Last thing Liverpool or Arsenal needed is a player joining, not settling and being home sick. Arsenal last 2 seasons failures have been on an unsettled midfield unit not performing and dropping points.

Delap is similar to sesko, he's a project player. Arsenal need is for a striker who is ready now. The burden of having to be a difference maker at a big club can hinder a players career. We seen the expectation on hjolund at united, cause him to crumble.

At Chelsea he will be rotated with Jackson and will get time. With us having havertz and Jesus, the pressure to score on delap would have been huge. If we had signed 2 strikers and one was delap, also a main striker that would be different.

Delap and sesko longterm will provide clubs a good long term prospect. Arsenal need the goals that will help us from being caught short all time to lifting trophies. A project striker just adds more pressure on saka or a left winger to score more goals whilst a new player settles in. Again a slow start for Arsenal next season is no good.

Yeah the Greek player makes no sense as we have Nwaneri and dowman. Also 30M on a "project player" when midfield needs better quality makes no sense. Nor does it put pressure on non-performaning captain in midfield.

Zubemendi seems like a lot of Spanish players, where he's happy in home conforts of Spain. He's probably wanted a Barca move which didn't happen, nows he's holding out for Madrid. Last thing Liverpool or Arsenal needed is a player joining, not settling and being home sick. Arsenal last 2 seasons failures have been on an unsettled midfield unit not performing and dropping points.

Delap is similar to sesko, he's a project player. Arsenal need is for a striker who is ready now. The burden of having to be a difference maker at a big club can hinder a players career. We seen the expectation on hjolund at united, cause him to crumble.

At Chelsea he will be rotated with Jackson and will get time. With us having havertz and Jesus, the pressure to score on delap would have been huge. If we had signed 2 strikers and one was delap, also a main striker that would be different.

This is exactly what I was hoping for because Arsenal need 2 x CFs because Jesus is rubbish and injury prone, along with Havertz and Merino, who are no specialist CFs.

This is exactly what I was hoping for because Arsenal need 2 x CFs because Jesus is rubbish and injury prone, along with Havertz and Merino, who are no specialist CFs.

Jesus is still injured and unlikely to be fit until end of the year. Now their are rumours that he will have his contract extended by a year. Which if true, just shows how poorly this club continues to be run. Even Saudi clubs now seem to ge put off wanting an injury prone player, that doesn't score goals. Also his high wages will put off other teams.

Havertz and Merino were both signed as midfielders.

- both players have failed in that primary Role
- Merino looked more clinical as make shift striker then havertz, is an embarrassing indicator of how poor havertz finishing is.
- both these players are still going to have to be used in midfield, unless either improves in that area - we will have same issues as last season
- havertz will start most games next season, won't be shocked if he has a clause in his contract about how many games he should be playing. We've seen this before with willian, xhaka and bellerin.

Arsenal biggest problem is Jesus and havertz are both useless, but on high wages. So if Arsenal top quality attackers on high wages, it means these 2 players would be on the bench. With poor resale value or suitors. Arteta personally request for such signings and their failures, will now start to impact getting in other top quality players for reasons I mentioned. This is why project strikers on lower wages are being looked at.

If you don't want to be bantered, don't come out with stuff like "we mean business next season" - that too in an Arsenal thread. You've just finished 16th and lost out on a CL spot to an even worse Spurs side.

He will be if he doesn't win a PL nor a CL by the time he's left Arsenal.

So just 1 PL or CL win would be success?

Klopp won 1 PL and CL in 9 years which was a poor return.

 

[Mamoon]

I don’t care about winning the UCL, but I expect Arteta to win 2-3 PL title in the next 5 years.

 

[Mamoon]

If Gyokeres doesn’t get a big move, @KingKhanWC, he should sue the retarded Uruguayan for damaging the reputation of Portuguese league strikers.

With his numbers and at his quoted price, clubs should be all over him but everyone is hesitating and there is one only reason why.

 

[Mamoon]

Utd have real pulling power even with our on field struggles. If we can get Gyokeres in, then we mean business next season.

Is that why you are settling for mediocrities like Cunha and Mbeumo who will never belong in a league-winning team?

Arsenal are in a fight with Utd for his signing. Utd have no CL football, finished in bottom half and yet are in this race? This Berto guy seems clueless atm?

If Arsenal want to sign him they will do it without any challenge from United. Gyokeres also wants to make the move.

However, Arsenal are not convinced because he is already 27 and a certain Uruguayan who made the move from Portugal to England and proved to be a complete disaster.

That certain player has more important goals than the donkey Havertz.

Arsenal need a striker more than a donkey needs a drink of water but it this club is weak in transfers. Arteta MUST win one of the big two this season but looks way off atm.

The real donkey, or burro as they call it in Spanish, is Darwin who had 5 goals in 30 PL appearances last season. In comparison, the so-called donkey Havertz had 9 goals in 23 appearances and he is not even a specialist number 9.

There is no comparison between the two. Havertz is far better.

Darwin would have been a disaster even for £30m. The fact that he was signed for total value of £85m makes it even more hilarious. What a wonderful gift by Klopp.

The season before Darwin outscored him and he is a champion with a medal. No point debating this.

But do tell me how Arsenal are getting on with buying a striker? Will Arteta still feel Havertz is the new R9 and will lead him to win something after winning nothing for half a decade?

The season before, Darwin scored 11 league goals. Havertz scored 13, and he played in midfield 50% of the time.

As far as Arsenal is concerned, they will sign a forward but not sure why you are so concerned. You post more in the Arsenal thread in the Liverpool one.

How do you feel about TAA secretly learning Spanish for 2 years while telling the media that he is going to stay Liverpool forever?

ARTETA 0 TROPHIES IN 6 YEARS - SLOT 1 LEAGUE TITLE(the biggest prize in world club football) IN 1 YEAR.

See you next season, lets hope you win something for your mental health.

Arsenal still umming and aahing over whether to sign Sesko or Gyokeres (not like you've had an entire season to identify a #9).

Meanwhile we've just signed two players, one of whom one of Europe's biggest talents, and a third on the way.

That's why KPK Jimmy Hill is coping hard with but but Darwin Nunez is a donkey

Honest and objective Arsenal fans I'm reading online recognise their club is showing nowhere near the level of urgency in the market to build on a team that's completed a hat trick of 2nd places and no silverware for 5 years. Still early days so let's see.

Oh look yet another wild comedy statement from the clueless zero knowledge Arteta fan boy.

So in December 2023, Arteta was going to win 2 titles in next 4 years.

2 years later hes won fk all.

We all know a certain coward won't apologize

Now it June 2025, Arteta is going to win 2/3 titles in next 5 years

Same bakwas, being repeated with, the time frame just being moved down.

Zero credibility nonsense as usual.

Sadly the Arsenal fans base is littered with fans with zero ambition. They are happy with "competing" and making excuses, just so they can portray themselves as "positive"

Reality is these fans are just middle aged men with a weird crush on Arteta, like he's their dad or secret lover. We all know who those posters are in this thread.

Liverpool, City, Chelsea are all fixing their weak spots or upgrading key areas

Arsenal are more interested in posting pics of donkey havertz in the gym.

This is sadly how pathetic this club has become. The sooner Arteta goes, the better it is for the club to find a proper manager who can get team over the line

 

[Amjid Javed]

But but havertz and Merino get me all excited in the morning. But but Arteta will do this, that and the other

Imagine mocking other players, then saying they won't be in a title winning team. At same time dry humping over a manager who hasn't won anything for 5 seasons.

The Arteta meat riding has started early this summer

 

[Amjid Javed]

More world class bakwas. So Arsenal are unconvinced by a player whose done well in Portugese league. Has a good record in CL, good international record.

But fraudeta wants a player with a mediocre goal scoring record in German league. Average record at international level and in CL.

Already seen donkeys like havertz, Werner and underwheling nkuku flop in PL, after looking decent in German league

Arteta needs to justify havertz playing all time, so a project striker in sesko is perfect excuses for this fan base when the club fails again.

But but wenger went 9 years without a trophy, so we should give Arteta 9 years as well.

 

[Amjid Javed]

So Liverpool are now looking at Barcola.

Mean while Arteta fan boys are looking at what vaseline they will be using next season.
