Arsenal FC | 2025/26 Season

[Mamoon]

The bottom-line is that signing Gyokeres not only means Arsenal will possess the deadliest number 9 in the world, it will also allow so much tactical flexibility because you also have Havertz who is one of these best CFs in the world with a completely different profile to Gyokeres.

 

[Mamoon]

Oh wow. I just read Kudus is going to Spurs for similar price

Mikel you weirdo

Kudus can play RW only. Madueke can play both wings. That is the main reason why Arsenal want him.

 

[MK7Z]

^ Califiori and Gabriel to compete with each other. This formation can be effectively used quite frequently.

You think Arteta is going to change formation and our best defender is going to be competing with a injury prone unproven defender.

I always thought it was a forum joke on here that you didn't actually watch any games... It might actually be true...

Suddenly MLS is a left winger for you.... Sigh

 

[MK7Z]

Kudus can play RW only. Madueke can play both wings. That is the main reason why Arsenal want him.

Where has he showed he can play both wings? I have not followed his career cos he's never stood out.

I don't have an issue with him if he is an addition amongst others but 50 million plus. I'm sorry I don't care if he could play RB LB or MF as well. He's not what we need to win the title.

LWB, not LW. Skelly is perfect for that role.

And I think Calafiori will displace Gabriel eventually provided that he overcomes his injury problems.

Cos he's better looking?

Same Khudus we could have signed 2 years ago. But Mikel was busy buying Chelsea trash called havertz

Madueke Is utter trash, Chelsea sign him and he's been a failure, yet Arsenal are happy bidding a higher price then Chelsea paid for him.

My best mate messaged me earlier and said when you buying reece James or even take sanchez as you love our leftovers

Nwaneri with less game time out shone madueke.

Another havertz level garbage player.

 

[Mamoon]

Judged on what?

Cos he's better looking?

He is a much better ball playing defender. If you add Gabriel’s resolute defending to Calafiori’s ability on the ball, you have a better player than what Gabriel currently is.

Fitness permitted, Calafiori will end Gabriel’s status as first-choice LCB just like Timber has pretty much ended White’s status as first-choice RB.

 

[Amjid Javed]

So the Italian Zinchenko, who can't defend is going to end Gabriel's place in the team. Comedy gold

 

[IMMY69]

Judged on what?

Cos he's better looking?

You have to admit it thiugh , they're both quiet handsome... Califori and his chiseled yet slightly famine features and the long locks and Gabriel with that smile, those gnashes... spectacular

 

[Theo_14]

Madueke for £50m is a lot. Especially for a back up. I think he’s probably coming in as our LW to depth signing for LW and RW. The only reason I see Arteta going for him is the fact his profile to other AFC wingers is different and also his wages are like £50k p/w which he is happy not to upgrade on.

If Madueke signing means we don’t go for Eze and Rodrygo then Arteta needs to be seriously questioned. His ID talent is the attacking department has been nothing but poor of late.

Also not wise to splash huge amount on a depth player when you are also going in for Eze and Gyokeres. Those clubs must be thinking if Arsenal have huge funds for a back up player then we can stretch them out for our key players in term of money.

 

[Amjid Javed]

So everytime we hear about at Arsenal transfer with 99.9% of clubs, its always been dragged out over a difference between the two clubs, payment structures, installments.

Arsenal don't want to over pay.

Yet when Arsensl are buying Chelsea trash the fees agree pretty quickly, Arsenal usually over pay compared to other players on the transfer fee and wages.

Prime example being havertz, when Chelsea were desperate for a sale before July the 1st. Same again now Arsenal happily sending a high bid for a mediocre player in madueke.

You can guarantee something dodgy is going on between 2 set of club owners to happily partake in transfers like this.

Arsenal want the best market value for sesko or Gyokeres. But Chelsea here you are 45M for one of your **** players

Artetas ID of attacking talent is poor of late? Its always been ****.

Jesus was mediocre and this is reason Man city got rid of him

Merino, havertz, Vieira, sterling all utter garbage.

Trossard has been decent at best, even he wasn't Artetas 1st choice he wanted mudryk who was the Ukrainian Walcott from temu.

Not a single top quality attackers has been signed under the clown of manager

Same manager that turned a prime Auba, who was scoring goals at same rate as salah, was turned into a left winger/ wingback.

Madueke is just another mediocre player who will be a obidient good little boy and follow managers instructions to recycle the ball and run backwards and defend. But only now do people want to question Artetas attacking ID

 

[Mamoon]

I don’t care who Arsenal sign or don’t, the PL is not ready for the deadliest striker on Earth.

 

[Amjid Javed]

PSG who won CL, now running circles around Real Madrid so far in club world cup (2-0 up)

Arsenal had the chance not once but twice to make Luis Enrique the manager. After Wenger was removed, Enrique was favourite for the job and told the kronkes he wanted 200M to spend to rebuild a squad. They said No (usual lack of ambition) and Arsenal looked at Emery and Arteta instead.

Then 2 years ago Enrique was available again, Arsenal chose to extend Artetas contract.

No one will call out these owners, A better manager at this club and Arsenal would have won titles and cups in last 5 years.

Yep. Hugh missed opportunity. Luis Enrique or Inzaghi would definitely be a upgrade on Mr also ran Arteta.

I don’t care who Arsenal sign or don’t, the PL is not ready for the deadliest striker on Earth.

Wait until it's announced first.

 

[topspin]

Like others have said, if this means we don't get Eze and Rodrygo then RIP to our title challenge.

 

[MK7Z]

@Amjid Javed is the only Gooner on here who gives constructive criticism of the Team he supports when he has to. And to be fair to him, he's been spot on majority of the time.

Ahem ahem

 

[MK7Z]

Maresca utilized him on both wings towards end of the season.

And how did that go?

 

[Mamoon]

And how did that go?

7 goals and 4 assists in the PL is not bad while playing for a dysfunctional Chelsea team with a striker like Jackson who is on par with Nunez in terms of fluffing chances.

I think he has the potential to get 10+ goals and assists while playing for a superior team like Arsenal who will also have the deadliest finisher in the world next season.

Just like Havertz, Madueke can considerably improve his numbers by moving from Chelsea to Arsenal.

I would take him over Martinelli either as a starter or a squad player. He can’t do worse for Arsenal than what Martinelli has over the last two seasons.

Don’t get me wrong - I obviously will not sign him ahead of Eze or Rodrygo, but I am not going to act like it is a war crime, considering Arsenal are signing/have signed two players who will massively improve the first team - Gyokeres and Zubimendi.

 

[Mamoon]

@Amjid Javed is the only Gooner on here who gives constructive criticism of the Team he supports when he has to. And to be fair to him, he's been spot on majority of the time.

Must be joke of the century. He only supports his agenda. He doesn’t support the club.

True supporters don’t want the team to fail so that they are proved right. They are more than happy to be proved wrong.

He doesn’t have the courage to say that he will be happy to see Arsenal win the league with Arteta even if he doesn’t believe he is capable of doing so.

 

[Mamoon]

Wait until it's announced first.

It is 100% done. Final formalities left.

The pain will land straight at Old Trafford and Anfield.

 

[Mamoon]

Bayern’s fetish for Crystal Palace continues. They are ready to open talks for Eze.

 

[Amjid Javed]

@MK7Z you are right certain people don't watch PL games, for them to now be simply quoting madueke stats and saying its not bad. Showd he hasn't watched Chelsea play at all. Now madueke Is better than Martinelli.

Calafori will replace Gabriel .

I bet your laughing at this nonsense, as much as me.

Madueke is 5th or 6th choice at Chelsea but he's now going to be Arsenal best left wing option.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Someone is rattled but but bayern are after eze, boo hoo it's not fair..

PSG, City and Liverpool are all interested now in Rodrygo

But but Arteta will make madueke world class like havertz

 

[KingKhanWC]

Nonsense.

Personal terms are agreed, Sporting know they have to sell him and they also know he only wants Arsenal. They are just waiting to see how far Arsenal would go with their offer. Eventually, both clubs will meet halfway.

This is just like the Rice situation, but that was more complicated because City were also actively bidding for him.

Gyokeres will be an Arsenal player 100%.

It will be a huge failure if this doesnt get over the line. Many deals have collapsed at the final stage in the past. The sticking point is Arsenal will not pay the extra 4 million, which is strange if they are forking out £50m for Noni.

Btw Liverpool were never interested in him, his style doesnt not fit into our team.

I know you’re praying hard that it collapses but it won’t.

Also, I never said Liverpool were interested in him. A clinical number 9 doesn’t suit your style of play, you need someone who keeps missing chances from point blank range

 

[Mamoon]

I watched him play that is why I am not throwing my toys out of the pram like you because I recognize that he is better than Martinelli.

But but but Martinelli is not a headless chicken and show me wingers with 15 goals

But but but Arsenal should sign Musiala

As far as Gabriel vs Calafiori is concerned, if you remember, Gabriel was an error prone defender initially. It is only in the last two seasons that he has become extremely solid.

Arteta helped him develop and if he can help Calafiori develop defensively as well, he will replace Gabriel because of his vastly superior ability on the ball.

MLS has nailed the LB position for years to come and he will be top 3 in Europe in that position so Calafiori will compete with Gabriel.

 

[KingKhanWC]

I know you’re praying hard that it collapses but it won’t.

Also, I never said Liverpool were interested in him. A clinical number 9 doesn’t suit your style of play, you need someone who keeps missing chances from point blank range

I hope it happens, we may see a title race instead of LFC walking it again.

But if it doesnt , you will look like a fool...but nothing new there.

 

[Amjid Javed]

funny how the Areta fan boy keeps saying I have a so called Agenda. Begging for validation for his failed messiah

When I suggest managers in past like flick, Anchelloti, Luis Enrique, Alonso, inzaghi, simone

We get the comedy response, why would these managers come to Arsenal

Then when I say Arsenal should go after elite players like musiala or other top players

We get the retard response on why would they want to join Arsenal

If Arsenal owners had ambition, and this fan base wasn't full of excuse makes, then Arsenal have the finances to look to get such players and managers

But fans won't demand it or call out the owners

They would rather have their pants down getting excited over calafori, Merino, havertz and madueke. Then worshipping a failing manager and calling it a golden era.

But supposedly Areta and kronkes have fixed the culture at club.

A culture thats happy with mediocrity

 

[Markhor]

I hope it happens, we may see a title race instead of LFC walking it again.

But if it doesnt , you will look like a fool...but nothing new there.

The guy said after the Brentford win (when our "mentally disabled" forward scored two late winners) the following:

Liverpool got lucky today, but these late winners are mentally taxing and will take its toll them.

Liverpool are jaded and running out of ideas. Salah as usual disappearing this time of the year.

Arsenal must be licking its lips right now, but it is important to get the job done today.

Emery and Martinez getting owned is always a pleasure to witness.

That same day Arsenal threw a 2-0 lead at home to Villa ! Fast forward to May 25th and "mentally taxed" team won the league by 10 points.

Now a real man would own his mistake and say my bad, I got it wrong. I know we would. Instead he ran like a startled hare.

 

[MK7Z]

You said he was used on both wings towards the end of the season.

How many of the 7 goals and 4 assists were from the end of the season?

 

[MK7Z]

I just checked @Mamoon .

Say the end of the season is the last 10 games?

Now from what you said he played off both sides towards the end. This is how it went if you want to use stats.

in the PL in his last 11 appearances where from what you say was used on both sides. He got a whopping 1 Assist and 0 goals. That 1 assist came against relegated Ipswich.

Make of that what you wish.

The fact that you are still pandering to Inzaghi is bordering on shame.

Arsenal don't need a coward manager who surrendered in the UCL final like a sissy and ran away from European football at the age of 49.

But but but Arsenal should sign Musiala it is not about finances; Arsenal can offord him, but give me one good reason why Musiala will consider leaving Bayern for Arsenal, considering that he is the poster boy of Bayern.

Bayern is bigger than Arsenal, Bayern will always win more than Arsenal considering they play in Germany, Bayern can always offer the wages that Arsenal can offer to him because they have more finances. Bayern is also not broke, so they will not be tempted by a big offer from Arsenal.

The only way Musiala leaves Bayern is if the Saudis offer him crazy wages that he can’t refuse even at this stage of his career, or if Madrid comes calling because their pull is unmatched.

Stop this fantasy nonsense that Arsenal should try to sign players who have no reason to consider leaving their current clubs for Arsenal.

 

[Mamoon]

@MK7Z

I will not judge Chelsea’s wingers for their stats considering they are playing with the black Nunez.

Given the amount of chances he missed, players like Madueke would have a lot more assists playing alongside a lethal finisher like Gyokeres.

Madueke is a good squad option. The price is a little steep but that’s the English tax for you. Declan Rice is not worth £100m either, but you pay what the market demands.

 

[Mamoon]

The guy said after the Brentford win (when our "mentally disabled" forward scored two late winners) the following:

Everyone knows Liverpool’s league win was one of the worst in PL history. Absolutely no one cared about their tainted title win.

The fact that you won with 84 points shows how poor the season was. Arsenal finished 2nd with 89 points the season before. The season before they had 84 points.

Liverpool are worst champions since Leicester in 2016.

What you judging him on then?

Watching him week in week out?

 

[MK7Z]

He is a much better ball playing defender. If you add Gabriel’s resolute defending to Calafiori’s ability on the ball, you have a better player than what Gabriel currently is.

Fitness permitted, Calafiori will end Gabriel’s status as first-choice LCB just like Timber has pretty much ended White’s status as first-choice RB.

Nonsense. Califori is a poor defender from what he has shown so far who got replaced by an 18 year old academy player after coming in as a big move. Humbled

On Timber displacing Ben White - You cant be more wrong. Timber actually played LB his 1st pre-season and also LB in his 1st PL game where he got injured and didn't play again.

The start of last season he played LB and Ben White RB until news came out about Ben White's Injury. Timber then moved to RB and still played some games LB cos Arteta didn't trust zinchenko and Califori and played Partey at RB until the discovery of MLS.

Ben White came back from Injury and did not hit the level he was at previously. Timber was a monster last season and he wont get displaced any time soon but to say he ended White at RB is complete rubbish made up probably by the fact you don't actually watch the games. I'm not joining the folks on here who have always said you don't watch the games and just talk nonsense but you are starting to prove them right.

I come in Peace.

 

[Amjid Javed]

You said he was used on both wings towards the end of the season.

How many of the 7 goals and 4 assists were from the end of the season?

He scores 2 goals in 2025, those came in January. This guy doesn't watch Chelsea play and is lying as usual.

I have regular discussions with my mate whose a Chelsea fan and madueke is trash

 

[Amjid Javed]

So Chelsea wingers shouldn't be judges on stats because of their strikers

Same logic should apply to Arsenal wingers that you don't like, who have had to play with Jesus, havertz and Merino.

I come in Peace.

Firstly, I don’t yours and other Arsenal fans certifications of approval. I watch every match and if you think I don’t, good for you. I don’t need to prove it to you so I don’t understand why you have to bring it up again and again as if your opinion about me matters to me.

With all due and undue respect, I couldn’t care less. I also don’t care in you come in peace or not, I would actually prefer if you come up with something intelligent which you haven’t so far.

I am not sure what your confusion is regarding Timber and White. Timber was signed for his versatility. He can play across backline, but initially, the plan was to utilize him as a LB but he got injured on the opening day of 2023-24 which scuppered that plan.

After the emergence of MLS as one of the most promising LBs in Europe and the signing of Calafiori, Timber is no longer going to be utilized as a LB. He is not the first-choice RB.

White is not better than him and therefore, he is not going to beat him to a starting place. That is why his days as the first-choice RB are over now. He is now the first-choice backup RB and also backup for Saliba, although that might change if Arsenal sign Mosquera.

If you think White will be first-choice RB ahead of Timber this season, you have no idea what you are talking about but I have that inclination already.

Furthermore, as far as Calafiori is concerned, he isn’t more suited to the LB role than MLS so yes, the plans of him becoming the first-choice LB are buried now. However, he has high potential as an LCB and yes he is error-prone, but so was Gabriel initially.

In fact, he was the only player costume Arsenal points in the first-half of the 2022-23 season when Arsenal were pretty invincible overall. You would have remembered that if you were watching the matches.

Right now, Calafiori is not better than Gabriel, but if he can improve defensively, he can be better than him because he is much better on the ball. You combine Calafiori’s ability on the ball with Gabriel’s defending at the moment and you have an elite level CB.

As far as Madueke is concerned, as I have already said numerous times, I don’t mind him as a squad option. He provides good cover for both wings, but yes if he is going to be the undisputed first choice LW, then I won’t be too happy about that.

However, I am mature enough not to throw my toys out of the pram because I have the sense to realize that overall Arsenal are making excellent moves in the market - the signings of Gyokeres and Zubimendi directly improve the first XI massively, so Arsenal will enter the new season in a stronger position regardless of whether Madueke will be first-choice LW or not.

 

[Mamoon]

So Chelsea wingers shouldn't be judges on stats because of their strikers

Same logic should apply to Arsenal wingers that you don't like, who have had to play with Jesus, havertz and Merino.

The difference in numbers of Saka and Martinelli show that Martinelli is the problem not the Arsenal strikers.

He is the first choice RB*

[Amjid Javed]

So let's exposes the Arteta cheerleader for his contradictory bakwas so that he can push his Arteta is the messiah agenda.

So Arteta supposedly deserves credit for

- Making Arsenal challenge for PL title
- Having a good run in the CL

So both the above criteria is something Artetas number 1 cheerleader has banged on about

So then I name 6 managers who could have replaced Arteta and best response you could come up with is inzaghi is trash.

Using the same criteria that you like to have a wankfeast over Arteta, be applied to inzaghi

- Inzaghi has had inter competiting for Serie A and also won the title. Which means he's done a better job on that criteria.

- inzaghi has reached 2 CL finals, but as long as Arteta has a gud run in CL it's successful. Again your own criteria you want to have a wank over Arteta is exposed.

If you want to say inzaghi got exposed by PSG.

Same PSG that beat Liverpool, villa, Arsenal as well. Same PSG thats just hammered Athletico, Bayern and real Madrid. So again using same dumb logic like to use. All these teams must have tactically rubbish managers as well.

Then there was the over excitement that Arteta beat Real in CL 1/4 finals, he's tactically great. Then why not apply same logic when inter beat Bayern and Barca in 1/4 and 1/2 semi finals

The fact you can't even be consistent with your criteria, where you will openly have your pants down for Arteta, yet when same logic us used else where you want to mock a manager.

Usual clueless bakwas from you exposed

Firstly, I don’t yours and other Arsenal fans certifications of approval. I watch every match and if you think I don’t, good for you. I don’t need to prove it to you so I don’t understand why you have to bring it up again and again as if your opinion about me matters to me.

With all due and undue respect, I couldn’t care less. I also don’t care in you come in peace or not, I would actually prefer if you come up with something intelligent which you haven’t so far.

I am not sure what your confusion is regarding Timber and White. Timber was signed for his versatility. He can play across backline, but initially, the plan was to utilize him as a LB but he got injured on the opening day of 2023-24 which scuppered that plan.

After the emergence of MLS as one of the most promising LBs in Europe and the signing of Calafiori, Timber is no longer going to be utilized as a LB. He is not the first-choice RB.

White is not better than him and therefore, he is not going to beat him to a starting place. That is why his days as the first-choice RB are over now. He is now the first-choice backup RB and also backup for Saliba, although that might change if Arsenal sign Mosquera.

If you think White will be first-choice RB ahead of Timber this season, you have no idea what you are talking about but I have that inclination already.

Furthermore, as far as Calafiori is concerned, he isn’t more suited to the LB role than MLS so yes, the plans of him becoming the first-choice LB are buried now. However, he has high potential as an LCB and yes he is error-prone, but so was Gabriel initially.

In fact, he was the only player costume Arsenal points in the first-half of the 2022-23 season when Arsenal were pretty invincible overall. You would have remembered that if you were watching the matches.

Right now, Calafiori is not better than Gabriel, but if he can improve defensively, he can be better than him because he is much better on the ball. You combine Calafiori’s ability on the ball with Gabriel’s defending at the moment and you have an elite level CB.

As far as Madueke is concerned, as I have already said numerous times, I don’t mind him as a squad option. He provides good cover for both wings, but yes if he is going to be the undisputed first choice LW, then I won’t be too happy about that.

However, I am mature enough not to throw my toys out of the pram because I have the sense to realize that overall Arsenal are making excellent moves in the market - the signings of Gyokeres and Zubimendi directly improve the first XI massively, so Arsenal will enter the new season in a stronger position regardless of whether Madueke will be first-choice LW or not.

Relax your fingers bro.

I come with facts which have rattled you bro. I never once suggested that White is better than Timber, simply proved that Timber was LB and White was RB before the injuries to both and it was not just a case of Timber kicking White out of the team as that's not what happened. The emergence of MLS has sorted the LB position and now Timber is ahead of White because of his strong season.

You want to talk about football intelligence - I would wipe the floor with you. With the statements you make on here about Havertz, Madueke and even Arteta and Califori. I don't actually have to say anything.

Salaams. Rest your fingers and have a good day.

Arsenal sign Brentford midfielder Norgaard

Arsenal have signed Denmark midfielder Christian Norgaard from Brentford in a £15m deal.

The 31-year-old has joined for an initial £10m - with a possible £5m in performance-related add-ons - on a two-year contract with the option of a third year.

Norgaard joined Brentford from Fiorentina in 2019 and became a key player, captaining his side and making 196 appearances.

The Gunners were interested in Sevilla's French midfielder Lucien Agoume, but manager Mikel Arteta opted for Norgaard because he preferred a Premier League-ready player.

Norgaard said he got "almost emotional" because signing for Arsenal means he will live his "dream" of playing Champions League football.

"I've just turned 31 and had signed a new deal with Brentford," he said.

"There's always a little chance that a miracle could happen with Brentford, but it was probably unrealistic to play Champions League with them.

"Now I get to hear the anthem and be a part of a Champions League campaign. It's a childhood dream and something I didn't think would be possible. So it's something I'm really, really happy about."

Norgaard helped Brentford win promotion from the Championship in 2021, before making 122 Premier League appearances.

He is Arsenal's third signing of the summer.

Midfielder Martin Zubimendi joined from Real Sociedad last week in a deal worth almost £60m, while goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga moved from Chelsea for £5m.

Arsenal are in talks to sign Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres for £70m and have made a formal approach for Chelsea winger Noni Madueke.

You know what would not surprise me is if we sign Madueke and Chelsea then go ahead and buy Eze or Rodrygo.

Liverpool and Bayern are looking at Eze

Liverpool, City, PSG are looking at Rodrygo

I think Rodrygo agent has reached out to a few clubs.

Won't be shocked of Rodrygo went to Liverpool, while Diaz went to bayern

Chelsea will use madueke money for khudus

Guess he will get regular game time there. We should have signed him 2 years ago

If Luis Diaz leaves we will need Eze. I think he would be great in the LFC team, great ball control on the left wing and great passing too, along with scoring goals. Im shocked Arsenal never pushed for this and went for the Chelsea man.

The emergence of MLS has sorted the LB position and now Timber is ahead of White because of his strong season.

When did I say that Timber was signed to replace White?

All I said was that Timber has now ended White's reign as the first-choice RB but you threw a hissy fit. The rise of MLS means he owns the LB position now, and Timber is a better RB than White. It is not difficult to understand.

You don't come up with facts. You were laboring under the delusion that White will continue to be first-choice RB next season before I educated you and you are now parroting what I said.

You want to talk about football intelligence - I would wipe the floor with you. With the statements you make on here about Havertz, Madueke and even Arteta and Califori. I don't actually have to say anything.

Salaams. Rest your fingers and have a good day.

The day a deeply mediocre poster like you wipes the floor with me is the day I retire. I used to like your posts previously but you exposed yourself the other day when you complained that Arsenal are not making moves for a striker this summer and I advised you to be patient because we still have two months left, and lo and behold, Arsenal are now signing the deadliest number 9 in the world. That was the day you exposed yourself as someone who is at the same level as Amjid which means I have to shed 50 IQ points just to force myself to respond to you.

Arteta better it get done soon. Jose is waiting if it fails.

Mourinho Poised to Swoop for Gyokeres if Arsenal Talks Collapse - Turkish Football

Fenerbahçe manager José Mourinho is reportedly preparing a bold move for Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyökeres should Arsenal's protracted negotiations for the Swede fall through. According to Record and as reported in Turkey by Fanatik, Mourinho has informed the Fenerbahçe board that he would...

turkish-football.com

The problem is that Gyokeres is not a psycho who will make a completely sideways move from Sporting to Fenerbahce. He is coming to Arsenal and if he doesn't, he will wait to move to another club that is a step up from Sporting/Portugal league.

 

[Mamoon]

So let's exposes the Arteta cheerleader for his contradictory bakwas so that he can push his Arteta is the messiah agenda.

So Arteta supposedly deserves credit for

- Making Arsenal challenge for PL title
- Having a good run in the CL

So both the above criteria is something Artetas number 1 cheerleader has banged on about

So then I name 6 managers who could have replaced Arteta and best response you could come up with is inzaghi is trash.

Using the same criteria that you like to have a wankfeast over Arteta, be applied to inzaghi

- Inzaghi has had inter competiting for Serie A and also won the title. Which means he's done a better job on that criteria.

- inzaghi has reached 2 CL finals, but as long as Arteta has a gud run in CL it's successful. Again your own criteria you want to have a wank over Arteta is exposed.

If you want to say inzaghi got exposed by PSG.

Same PSG that beat Liverpool, villa, Arsenal as well. Same PSG thats just hammered Athletico, Bayern and real Madrid. So again using same dumb logic like to use. All these teams must have tactically rubbish managers as well.

Then there was the over excitement that Arteta beat Real in CL 1/4 finals, he's tactically great. Then why not apply same logic when inter beat Bayern and Barca in 1/4 and 1/2 semi finals

The fact you can't even be consistent with your criteria, where you will openly have your pants down for Arteta, yet when same logic us used else where you want to mock a manager.

Usual clueless bakwas from you exposed

Please repeat after me:

"Although I don't think Arteta is good enough to win the league for Arsenal, I will be extremely happy to see him to do it. I will be extremely happy to be proved wrong and my agenda is not more important than the success of the club"

 

[KingKhanWC]

The problem is that Gyokeres is not a psycho who will make a completely sideways move from Sporting to Fenerbahce. He is coming to Arsenal and if he doesn't, he will wait to move to another club that is a step up from Sporting/Portugal league.

Yes he wants Arsenal and the deal should be done but he wants out . If not Arsenal he will leave to any club imo.

I don't recall saying that about a striker but anyways. Have a nice day/night and about the IQ points. Thanks for the sacrifice... It shows.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Oh dear seems like after the Arteta bhangra criteria has been exposed and not been applied to other managers, he can't come up with a meaningful response.

Looks like -500 IQ points for a certain poster.

Feel free to make up some more delusional or hypothetical nonsense scenarios. Because when it comes to facts, been exposed as being clueless as usual.

Posted this in last seasons thread

What's happening folks. Long time . Got back a week ago and finally found my bearings.

Caught up briefly with transfer news. Liverpool smashing it with Wirtz. Unlike Liverpool to get a massive target but well done.

Man City rebuilding well to.

Meanwhile Arsenal have somehow weakened their squad with the loss of Jorginho and Partey looking like he's offski.

Nothing changes. Kroenke Out always

Respectfully bro - Why us as fans care so much about profit and finances?

In that case, financially speaking we need to invest in our attack why do we wanna spend more money on midfielders

View attachment 155676

So Arsenal transfer window is looking like the usual

New goal keeper
Midfield signing
Looking at old experienced player, no one wants
Looking at another left back - hato
Looking at another Chelsea reject - madueke

Amazing I bet 5 new sets of merchandise will be released soon

If anyone wants to witness how ignorant, toxic, impatient and unintelligent Arsenal fans are, they can look at these posts.

Imagine throwing you toys out of the pram and complaining about a “lack of transfer activity” when it is not even July

Few days after these nonsense posts, Arsenal have signed Zubimendi and will announce Gyokeres in a few days. These ignoramuses couldn’t even wait until second week of July

Here is the fun part: instead of celebrating the fact that Arsenal are signing two top quality players who massively improve the first XI, Arsenal fans have decided to cry over Madueke.

 

[Mamoon]

Yes he wants Arsenal and the deal should be done but he wants out . If not Arsenal he will leave to any club imo.

I know you are desperately hoping that Arsenal walk away from him, but unfortunately for you, it is a done deal.

Besides, he is not going on strike at Sporting only to end up at Fenerbahce.

Great post fella. How many IQ points did you waste this time.

Most Arsenal fans not deluded would tell you we've only just caught up with last seasons requirements of a striker. So I'm sorry I'm not getting all excited about signing a striker 18-24 months to late.

We need a left winger now and an attacking Mid.

Madueke was bought for almost half of what we are probably going to end up paying. After having a very underwhelming season we are buying him for more
How.
Yet we can't be annoyed cos the money could be spent on elsewhere for better players.

I think I prefer it when you run off after all the others embarrass you every season.

The first game of the season will soon be upon us. UTD with a full pre season behind them will once again prove to be Achilles heel for you Gooners.

lol I want him to join so you have no excuses next season .

We have enough goals in our team and the current premier league king with 4 golden boots but I guess he will break his records too

Bro I've got my reservations on Wirtz. He's a good player no doubt. But i dont think he's a baller in the Category of Musiala, Edoue, Yamal. From what I've seen of him he does the basics well.
And maybe the Record Transfer fee could be added pressure on him.

Some players take time , he’s young in physicality but mature mentally. Hes world class potential, one of Germany’s future greats if he goes in the right direction. Joining Liverpool the champions along with his mate Frimpong this is a great opportunity for him to improve even more and reach his potential. Anything can happen in football but I’d be shocked if he isn’t a success . Just needs to get into the gym build up some body strength. This is going to be an exciting season for Liverpool. If we can keep clean sheets , back to back league titles and nothing personal but record breaking 21 is so much on !

Great post fella. How many IQ points did you waste this time.

He definitely will have his running shoes on again and his bag full of excuses once we all expose his bakwas as usual.

Supposedly us fans wanting the club to sign good and elite players is now toxic

We should be doing bhangra over signing more Chelsea left overs

 

[Mamoon]

The first game of the season will soon be upon us. UTD with a full pre season behind them will once again prove to be Achilles heel for you Gooners.

What Achilles heel? Are you aware of the PL H2H in the last few seasons?

So what should the club do now, go back in time or do what the right thing to do in this moment?

Arsenal have signed two top quality players who immediately improve the first XI and pushes Arsenal closer to winning the league.

That is something to be happy about instead this Neanderthal fan base wants to moan about Madueke instead. Absolutely bunch of

 

[aboveandbeyond]

What Achilles heel? Are you aware of the PL H2H in the last few seasons?

Very close encounters.

 

[Mamoon]

Very close encounters.

Results matter, not the degree of closeness.

Arsenal have owned United in the league for quite some time.

 

[Amjid Javed]

But but you don't have an IQ as high as me

But but we are closer to winning the league

Great intelligence as usual. Your Arteta wankfeast criteria got exposes and now your In aiming personal digs at everyone.

But but Arteta is competing for league..

But but as along as Arteta has a good run in CL and gets to 1/4 or 1/2 finals

But but madueke will be just like havertz

Great standards as usual

But but if your not pleasuring urself over Arteta your toxic and negative

But but but Arsenal should sign Musiala because he has a million reasons why he would leave Bayern for Arsenal
But but but Martinell is a world class winger because show me wingers who have more than 15 goals

 

[Mamoon]

Anthropologists and archeologists have longed searched for the missing link between modern intelligent humans (Homo Sapiens) and Neanderthals. I present to them Arsenal fans in this thread (except Topspin) who perfectly fit the bill considering their IQ level.

 

[Amjid Javed]

you know when someone is rattled, when they are still begging for validation for Arteta.

I exposed your criteria for him being a so called success.

If you actually wanted whats best for club, ud be asking the owners to bring in a manager who can get team over the line.

Both Pep and Slot are better Managers then Arteta. Both Managers have squads with players who have title winning experience. Both teams have spent to improve on last season.

But your sat there delusionally thinking that Arsenal have best squad in league.

Even if that was true, Arteta has shown he's incapable of managing an entire squad effectively to get over the line.

Anyone retarded enough to think Arsenal only need to worry about Liverpool next season is bring very naive.

If Man city's players settle in quickly they will be better than they were last season.

Also Pep has never gone 2 seasons in a row without a title, so he will try to put that right

Arsenal are busy penny pinching in transfer window, not wanting to over pay lol, at same time looking at Chelsea left overs
