What's new

Arsenal FC | 2025/26 Season

Can wait for if your "not worshiping your havertz posters on your bedroom walls then you have an agenda" from the club's bakwas mascot 🤡🤡
 
So a 5 season PL failure, on 270K a week needs "well wishes" because he's been on the gym..

But but Arteta says Haverzt gives him the most excitement when he takes his top off..

Havertz broke the metrics for taking Win the dog for the longest walks...

He broke the record that Tomiyasu and Jesus had

🤣🤣🤣

Question is, is he going to be a direct Competition for Gyokeres, or Odegaard, or even Saka.

Certainly not Saka as he’s the best player in the team.

He should be in competition for Odegaard but I have a feeling Arteta will not do this until we’re out of the PL place because he’s got too much of a soft spot for his captain.

If Arteta does fall short of winning PL/CL, I would pin point his fallout with Aubameyang that has led to his downfall. After this event, he became afraid of big personalities and decided to go for a more timid/obedient type of captain in Odegaard.

One of the reasons why I think this Arsenal team is falling short is because there are a lack of leaders in the side and unfortunately for us the one leading the side has actually been a poor leader. There has been countless occasions when Odegaard has gone missing whenever Arsenal were on the back foot.

The vast majority of Arsenal fans believe Rice should be leading the side but that’s a conversation for another day.

Havertz’s best position is the support striker position, where he can be the target man and then lay it off to the likes of Gyokeres and Saka.
 
Oh dear the dry humping for havertz continues 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Let's simplify this and show how much these fan base gets over excited on stuff that Is complete and utter rubbish

Havertz, just like everyone one else is the squad is a paid professional footballer.

You would expect any footballer getting paid the amounts of money they do, to actually work hare in training, work on improving their game. Work hard to be in best possible physical and mental condition.

As Roy Keane would say its your job.

But because Arsenal PR team have posted videos of just havertz in thr gym. The lemmings in this fan base are acting like it's something ground breaking.

Professional football on 270K a week is in the gym after 5 years.

Wow that's amazing, this must be mind blowing for the rest of the PL and all sports in general. All other paid athletes must just be sat at home doing nothing.

Omg we need to give "positive well wishes" for someone who is training for the job the get paid to do.

The level of stupidly and begging for validation, for someone training "hard" for their "job" is embarrassing

Agree. But as a Neutral, i see Odegaard having a good season. Last season, that injury set him back, never really got consistency back. But Good Competition for places improves team performances, and You guys have got good Quality all-round now. For me, You guys are the team to beat.

Bro. New season, new start. Give the guysa chance. For me, as a Neutral, you Gooners are the team to beat this season. Both Odegaard And Havertz will have Good seasons.

In terms of raw ability, one could argue Odegaard is the best in the side. The problem with him is his lack of mental fortitude. He tends to wilt under pressure.

This isn’t something that can be coached/fixed.

Odegaard is a great player to have when others around him can carry him and take the pressure off him.

He clearly doesn’t thrive when he’s in the spotlight. This is why I don’t understand why Arteta has kept him on as captain.

True. I think it's been a collective issue with the Gooners regarding the mental side of the game. Until, you get the Monkey off Your back and win the title, it will be continue to be there. Winning it, will take your team collectively to another Level.
 
As of right now (11th August)

- Liverpool need another CB and striker
- Chelsea need a new CB or even 2 and a new keeper
- Man city need a new winger

It's opportunities like this where Arsenal should have got their own **** in order and signed a new number 10 and left winger. The reality again for Arsenal could be the lack of quality depth being exposed. Both positions mentioned were more important then some of the so called squad fillers they have signed this summer.
 
I re-iterate there is still time but TICK TOCK.

Arteta prioritized Madueke over Eze and now struggling to raise funds for Eze and Spurs look like they are swooping in.

If that's not embarrassment then I don't know what is. Kudus and potentially Eze joining Spurs while we sign an average player from Chelsea for 50 million. A player who was ironically in the Spurs academy.

Tick Tock - you should not be allowed to get away with this. Can't even blame the owners. This is on Mikel

For his sake I hope we pull something out the bag.
 
and for People who want to back Arteta as though he is some victim in all this and has no say blah blah blah.

Just remind yourself that Arteta is the highest paid employee at the club. His say matters A LOT.

If Ezra chooses Spurs over Arsenal it will be shock . Top class player , all over defences last season .

I assume Spurs must have offers him bigger wages ? Maybe he’s still deciding or Arsenal are content with the squad now

The Bag has a hole in it as usual, once again from a squad depth point of view we are short. This will be the downfall again.

If we had actually had or do sign a number 10 and winger, I'd then say we have a squad capable of winning title

Only issue then would be the manager and the lack of winning mentality.

But from a squad point of view, atleast we could day we are fully equipped. But we aren't

This is why I always keep things realistic, rather then fake hope.

Its not a matter of choosing spurs. He has waited a whole window for Arsenal to make their move.

Spurs cant offer bigger wages they actually have a decent wage cap. He just probably thought I wanna play UCL, Arsenal are not serious so might as well get Spurs. No player would choose spurs over Arsenal, even Spurs fan openly admit this.

Its just a matter of Arsenal cocking up the window as usual and waiting for outgoings for thrash - guess who bought in.... Super Mik.

I wanted him to succeed and there is still time in this window. if it wasn't bad enough him wasting money on Havertz at the time, the Madueke signing as really thrown me. Unless as i keep saying he saves it somehow. But its looking more and more likely that signing has handicapped us.

This is what happens when your not ruthless in regards to best decisions for football club.

Arteta picks and choose when to make a so called "ruthless decision" when it suits his agenda.

But when you have an ownership only interested in making money

A manager on 15M a year with no accountability

A Mentally weak captain

A fan base in large parts happy to make excuses

Then this is what you get.

If there was accountability at Arsenal, they would have won the title by now or would have sacked the manager and Brought someone else in.

The fact neither has happen is because winning trophies current at Arsenal is seen as a bonus rather then an actual accountable Metric.

Contrast this to Liverpool. People will think Klopp resigned out of his own accord but I actually think he was given the hint because not only he had regressed, he messed up with the signing of Nunez, which broke the camel's back.

Slot comes in next season and he wins the title. Yes the PL wasn't at it's highest standards but they were on course for 90 points before they slacked a little when the title was already secured.

I'm giving Arteta one last season but it's the same recurring theme of Arsenal being one or two players short of winning the title.

If Eze goes to Spurs, Arsenal will not win the title with Martinelli and Odegaard in the starting XI. Madueke has shown promise but it's early days and he's a makeshift left winger, so it's not exactly his speciality. He should used merely to cover (or rotate) for Saka.

I'm genuinely not trying to defend Arteta here.

But I think the signings of Havertz, Sterling (on loan) and Madueke, who cost in excess of 100m, has little to do with him. I am sceptical and I think something dodgy is going on at board/ownership level between the two clubs.

It is not rational to overpay for players who are out of favour at their current clubs. I could understand it the rationale if it was a one time blunder but to hand over 115-120m to your biggest local rival (with potential PSR issues) for two unwanted players tells you how outrageous this is from Arsenal.

Maybe if we paid more like 50-60m (combined) for both of them, I would be alright with it but 115-120m?!

I just wonder:

Why would you sign Madueke for 52m when you can get Eze for 16m extra?
Why would you prioritise the signing of Madueke over Eze?

This has happened under both Berta and Edu. So this is either Arteta's doing or this has been imposed by the hierarchy at the club. We will find out someday.

I don't believe Arteta gets everything his own way because if he did then we wouldn't have signed Gyokeres, who is clearly a Berta signing. Arteta didn't really want him. He wanted Sesko. Fabrizio Romano gave this away when he posted this during the beginning of the transfer window:

1755030454698.png

Also, Arsenal took ages to sign Gyokeres. I appreciate Sporting made negotiations difficult but I'm not convinced that he was Arteta's first choice given the half hearted manner in which Arsenal approached his signing.

Furthermore, it was widely reported that Berta wanted Gyokeres and Arteta wanted Sesko.

The only one I can trust right now is Berta and I just hope he can get Eze's signing over the line. A player of his quality deserves better than spuds.
 
To make matters worse, Rodrygo could be on his way to City. A front 4 of him, Haaland, Marmoush and Cherki could be devasting especially if Cherki clicks.

A lot of pundits and fans foolishly writing City off like they are a bunch of has beens. They way they spent in January and this summer, that was to rectify last seasons fk ups. Plus Pep has never gone 2 seasons without winning a title. If Rodri is back to his best they will be a force. Only issue is they are still looking like they can be exposed on counter attack.

Grealish has ruthlessly been dumped (albeit a loan), savinho may go to spurs. So won't be shocked if they get Rodrygo

If Cherki is allowed a free role and isn't stiffled by Pep, he will be a quality addition to PL

It's not just the Chelsea cast offs that moneys been wasted on.

Vieira a personally request Arteta signing for left side midfield - 30 M wasted.

Xhaka goes, Vieira not good enough.

65M spunked away on havertz as a failed midfielder, 30 M on merino another failure in midfield.

Then in the end 100M Rice who was signed to play as a 6, is now playing as a 8. So 125M wasted on 3 failed midfielders.

Arsenal don't have luxury of endless amounts of money. This poor transfers, plus stupid wages means we keep being players short in TW.

I won't bother going into endless LB signings as well, loads money wasted and in the end by default LMS end up their.

Arteta is just like Claudio raneri was when he was at Chelsea. To much tinkering, poor transfer decisions which in end did more harm then good.

Berta job is to do what's best for club in regards to recruitment, regardless of who manager is. He's got so much to do to fix the combined mess from Edu / Arteta that he's inherited.

I know but this the thing with these other signings, I can't tell if this is poor talent ID from Arteta, Edu or both.

I reckon Xhaka went because he didn't like what he saw under Odegaard's captaincy. Remember his outburst after Arsenal missed out on top 4 after losing to Newcastle at SJP during the 21/22 season?

His move away to Leverkusen felt strange when he was thriving under Arteta in the number 8 role.

Xhaka is an average player who just had one good season at Arsenal after embarrassing himself as a captain.

There is a reason why he is playing for Sunderland now.

As far as Eze is concerned, Arsenal is still his most likely destination but if he doesn’t go through, the club will have an alternative plan — there is no need to panic.

The same fans who claimed that Arsenal will fumble this where the one who predicted that Arsenal would fumble Gyokeres. These fans don’t know anything, they just like to cry and moan all the time.

This has been a top window and it will finish on a high too. Arsenal have done brilliant work and the signings of Gyokeres and Zubimendi elevate the team immensely.

Arsenal are favorites to win the PL this season and Gyokeres should win the golden boot.

This is so harsh. I rate your knowledge of football very highly, but I couldn't disagree more with this take.

When he left Arsenal, Arteta never wanted him to leave because he was brilliant during his last season for the club. One could argue Arsenal dropped a lot of points in the first half of the 23/24 season because Mikel was trying to work out the right man to occupy the number 8 position in midfield. We clearly missed him. Havertz was playing there initially and we saw how that turned out.

Xhaka played 33 games in the Bundesliga last season, which is the same number of games he played in the previous season, where he played instrumental role in helping Leverkusen win the league. But the main point here is he's not exactly washed up.

He probably ended up leaving Leverkusen after they losing Xabi Alonso and key players during this summer.

I think this criticism has come out of spite more than anything. We have clearly missed him and I wish he was still with us. Merino is our first choice backup number 8 but let me tell you:

Xhaka >>>>>>>>> Merino

There is a recurring pattern after every summer transfer window, where Arsenal are always 1-2 players short of what they require to winning the league.

We need better options in the LW and CAM positions.

I’m not saying that Xhaka wasn’t very good in his last season for Arsenal. He was, but that was his only good season and he was at the club for a long time. He was also very good in his first season for Leverkusen before his level dropped off in the second season.

It is quite telling that he is moving to Sunderland at 32. The only reason he is doing it is because no bigger club has been interested in him which shows that he is not highly rated.

Merino is a different kind of player and although he hasn’t done very well so far especially in midfield, there is every possibility he goes onto to have a better Arsenal career than Xhaka because the bar is not high.

As far as Eze is concerned, he wants to leave CP for a UCL club this summer. If Arsenal are not prepared to meet the demands of CP, he will go to Spurs. It’s not one of those situations where he only wants to play for Arsenal.

However, if he has another from both clubs, he will obviously give preference to Arsenal just like anyone else would.

This is why I believe that Arsenal are still in pole position but if they decide to pivot away from this deal, they will have a reason for it and we might see that in the next couple of weeks.

If the club weren’t going to sign another wide player after landing Madueke, the Eze links wouldn’t have surfaced. Similarly, reports of Trossard leaving are gathering steam, so Arsenal will definitely bring in another wide player before the window closes. Surely, they realize that they can’t go into another season with Martinelli as the first-choice LW.

The reason why I am backing Arsenal to win the league this season is because the additions of VG and Zubi are game-changers and if they sign another wide player which they most probably will, these three signings are worth 10 extra points.

Liverpool have made too many changes. They got a little too excited with their newfound wealth and have disrupted the cohesion of the team. They will need a season to gel.

Similarly, City have also made major changes and they will also need some time to click and to cope with the loss of De Bruyne.

Chelsea are weaker than Arsenal, especially because of their backline and because they don’t have a number 9 who is half as good as VG.

No one else is a contender, and I do believe this Arsenal’s moment after near misses in the last three seasons.

Choosing Maduke over Ezee is hillarious. It cant be the new sporting director, but has to be Arteta. Arsenal do enjoy helping out Chelsea with their rejects lol.

This is to go with the wild claims Arteta would win 2 PL titles in 4 years in December 2023, or they would apologize

“I do believe this Arsenal’s moment after near misses in the last”

It’s lot as confident as in the past lol

There will be no apology again if Arsenal fail to win the league . Last seasons excuses included injuries and refs .

Does it really matter, as it will not be Artetas fault and he will be give a contact extension until 2030

This season it will be - Liverpool spent 400 million how are we meant to compete with that. Excuses are ready
 
How is Arteta on £15 Million a year taking on a role with Under Armour.

You have a league title to win Amigo - focus on that or do 1

Sure but Arsenal in their 6th year with this manager must find the missing puzzles to finally win something! For such a huge club with huge spending, huge fan base, coming empty handed everytime is unnacceptable. All I can say is the Arsenal fanbase are very very patient, he'd be coaching in Serie B by now if he was at any other club.

He is just one Premier League title away from matching Klopp’s legacy, who could only win one league in 10 years in spite of having a team capable of winning 3-4.

Arteta will definitely win more PL titles than Klopp.

SPL - managing Rangers is Artetas real level
 
Not only did Klopp win only one league title with Liverpool, he had two rubbish seasons in his last four years (2020-2021, 2022-2023) with a team that was capable of winning the Premier League.

Most overrated manager in Premier League history by some distance. No wonder he did an open bus parade for winning FA Cup and Carabao Cup 🤣
 
Liverpool and City both have better squads, title winning experience and better Managers then Arsenal

But because Arsenal have increased their small squad numbers by 1 by signing Gyokeres, they are now favourites according to the Arsenal club mascot. Will see the usual lack of quality being exposed in midfield and attack, outside of the starting 11.

🤦‍♂️ seems like sumone never learns 🤡

I don’t care about the CL, winning the PL is everything. I’m convinced that Arteta will win multiple PLs before he leaves Arsenal.

Gyokeres is the deadliest number 9 in the world, a Ballon d’Or nominee. A signing like him is transformative for a team like Arsenal who have been very, very close but have missed the extra 10% percent that Gyokeres will provide.

I know you don’t want Arsenal to win the league because your agenda is more important than the success of the club.
 
Will Gyokeres make a difference and score goals? Yes

Will Zubimendi if he settles in be a success? Yes

Football is a squad game. Not just your starting 11. Arsenal back up options in midfield and up front are not at the level to win a PL or CL

That's been proven again and again. Especially in Last 3 seasons.

Unless Arsenal are lucky and get no injuries or suspension, they are going to have to rotate. When that happens in midfield and up front points will be dropped as usual, in clusters of games together as usual.

Then on top of that a manager who csnt manage a squad effectively when it comes to pressure end of the season.

It's not about the extra 10%, it's about winning ugly and getting job done in adversity. Arsenal always play well when they aren't expected to win anything, as soon as expectation lifts to them being favourites they bottle it. That's a mentality and squad management issue

If Arsenal sign Eze or another winger to replace Martinelli as a starter, there isn’t a better squad in the league.

ST/CF: Gyokeres, Havertz, Martinelli
LW: Eze/new signing, Madueke, Martinelli
RW: Saka, Madueke, Nwaneri
CAM: Odegaard, Havertz, Nwaneri, Dowman
CM: Rice, Zubimendi, Merino, Norgaard
LB: Skelly, Calafiori, Timber
CB: Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, White, Mosquera
RB: Timber, White
GK: Raya, Kepa

This squad is fully of quality and depth. You don’t need 50 players like Chelsea to have depth. You have multiple players who can play multiple positions.
 
Reason Arsenal signed Madueke was it was the cheaper option. 50M transfer fee, which the club can pay over 5 years (length of the contract)

Most release clauses have to usually be paid in full straight away. This is why you sometimes see clubs paying more than release clause and agreeing to pay it over the length of contract.

In Ezes case the release clause stated to be paid in 3 installments so around 23 Million per seaaon. Arsenal didn't want to do that as the money wasted on wage bill and money waste on rubbish last season limits what they can do.

So the excuse now Arsenal have to sell to buy is an easy one to hide behind
 
Screenshot_20250813_195141_Chrome.jpgi already made this point yesterday about the left winger and a number 10, if we had got these players then we would have a squad capable of winning the title

Only thing then stopping Arsenal would be the manager and the weak mentality in the dressing room. If Arsenal were actually series they would have got all the game changers in now, left the squad fillers till the end of the window.

If Arsenal had bough Zubimendi, Gyokeres, Rodrygo and eze.

There wudnt be a need for some of the fringe signings other than a back up keeper. This squad right now is set up to make CL qualification. The manager and the owners are both happy with that.

Don't care about CL?!

You have even less than no idea and you're an Arsenal fan? Those summers in UK- you obviously did not meet many Arsenal fans.

Spot on!

Zubimendi is a class act and a great pairing with Rice.
