Arsenal FC | 2025/26 Season

[Mamoon]

Nwaneri, was regularly playing under De Zerbi.

Marseille have huge financial issues if they don't make into Europe next season. So they are already cutting costs, that includes not playing Nwaneri as it costs the french club payments to Arsenal for each game that he plays.

Plenty of clubs have done that before when all of a sudden, they stopped picking players as certain number of appearances etc.. triggers off payment clauses or deals

Arsenal did this with Pepe at back end of his spell, same happened this season with Villa not playing a player they signed from Liverpool as it would trigger clauses after certain number of games.

The players father had indicated this as well in regards to Nwaneri game time been cut short at Marseille

No that is not the reason. Of course his father would say that, he will not say that his son has an attitude issue.

Nwaneri was loaned to Marseille only because Arteta wanted him to play under De Zerbi. When he got sacked, the new manager didn’t trust him and based on his comments, it’s clear that Nwaneri didn’t put in the effort in training to win his trust and is kind of sulking. This isn’t a good look for a young player.

Not getting playing time on loan doesn’t mean you are a bad player. Pulis didn’t rate Gnarby at West Brom before he moved to Bayern and became one of the best wingers in Europe at a time.

Nwaneri is young and still has time to be a really good player but not showing full commitment on loan spells is exactly how a lot of talented players don’t make it and get fizzled out.

Saliba was loaned multiple times and he performed really well. Harry Kane was passed around like a hot potato for years before Spurs gave him a chance and rest is history.

Both Nwaneri and Skelly need to improve their attitude if they are going to make it at Arsenal or any other big club.

“Martinelli is one of the best left wingers in Europe”

“Bayern will regret hiring Kompany and sack him within 12 months”

“Calafiori doesn’t know how to defend”

“Ancelotti will school Arteta in the champions league”



at least a billion gems will be bumped when Arteta wins the league and/or champions league.

 

[Mamoon]

Imagine slandering and abusing a coach for years and having zero faith in him only to do bhangra when he wins you the PL and/or UCL.

 

[Mamoon]

@Amjid Javed it must suck to be you.

You have put yourself in a position where you won’t be able to celebrate the first PL win in 22 years and/or the first UCL win in history all because you chose to be a toxic fan who refused to have faith in the manager.

I would actually pity you if you didn’t bring this humiliation upon yourself.

 

[Amjid Javed]

1st off all I won't be doing any bhangra over this manager. So making wild assumptions again is hilarious

Arteta rightly got abused as he's bottled the following in last 6 years

Europe semi - schooled by Emery
Bottled top 4
Bottled PL
Bottled PL
Bottled CL and league cup semi finals

These are factual events thats have happened, history ain't going to rewrite itself.

Possibly winning 1 league title doesn't erase the 6 years of failure. So keep on crying

 

[Amjid Javed]

6 years of humiliation, threats of throwing tomatoes, running off like a coward. If anyone knows humiliation its you

Humiliating failures

Europe semi - schooled by Emery
Bottled top 4
Bottled PL
Bottled PL
Bottled CL and league cup semi finals

These are factual events thats have happened, history ain't going to rewrite itself.

 

[Mamoon]

Schooled by Emery

The only schooling that was done was by Arteta, who did the job that Emery was hired for but wasn’t good enough to do so.

None of these are “bottlejobs”. These are part of the bumps that come along the way when a team is rising from rock-bottom.

As far as Madueke is concerned, he is perfect fine for a backup/squad player and this is what he was signed for.

Last season, the lack of cover for Saka proved to be an issue and there was a need to sign a RW and Madueke fits the ball. Young, English, good attitude.

His decision making is not great and this is why he will never be a world class winger, but he can dribble and has his defender on toast in almost every game. You can’t expect more from a backup player.

But now there is a need to sign a first choice RW because Saka is no longer good enough to carry that responsibility.

A lot of Arsenal fans have blamed Arteta for mistreating Nwaneri but he is getting the same treatment in Marseille. Their coach has stated that he needs to show more in training. Clearly, he has an attitude issue that hasn’t publicly surfaced yet.

Madueke and Havertz have huge potential. I think Arteta has bought them thinking they’ll be backup/squad players if he can’t fix them. And if he can, he’ll have got two world class players for cheap. Sadly I don’t see Arteta achieving this dream of fixing them. I think they’re alright for squad players though but Havertz wage is too high (even the transfer cost feels alright).

Gyokores feels to me the biggest failed signing of recent times for arsenal. He was bought as a starter striker. And when players that are bought to start don’t perform I think it’s highlighted more. He hasn’t convinced for me and I have doubts he’s a good fit for this league. I do get arguments it’s not his fault, particularly I thought saka and Gyokores worked bad together. Have hope he will do better next season as I was originally optimistic about the signing. There’s already rumours of Arsenal signing other strikers so even wonder whether Arteta has given up on him too.

I think eze is a bit better than odegaard in the same position. However I’d like to see eze on left wing. I think you’d maximise his attacking output there and he could be a huge upgrade on martinelli/trossard.

 

[Amjid Javed]

excuses are out, 6 years of bhangra and then humiliation, all those false threats.

You also claimed klopp was a failure for 1 PL in 9 years, but if your messiah gets 1 in 7 years you will be doing bhangra.



Can't wait for the contradictory

Arteta brought in havertz 65M, 275K a week (at the time highest paid player at Arsenal) as back up player/squad player. World class player on the cheap

Havertz has got potential

Comedy gold

Never seen such a player get over hyped like havertt

Won't be shock if one of the havertz glazers is running AFTV Facebook account, as they come up with same over hyped rubbish

If Arteta leaves Arsenal with only 1 PL, I will call him a failure. However, his story is still being written and I expect him to win at least 3 PLs.

GUYS, STAY ON TOPIC AND NO MORE PERSONAL REMARKS

I agree with a lot of what you said.

Madueke has bags of talent. He has his full-back on toast every game but the end product is a bit lacking. However, it’s acceptable for a backup player. He was signed to reduce Saka’s workload.

Havertz is one of the best CFs around. You need multiple strikers these days and having him and Gyokeres as a pair serves the purpose.

Gyokeres will end this season with 22-23 goals which is very impressive considering we create almost nothing for him. In a more fluid team, he will score at least 15 more goals.

He was a great buy and a value for money signing. I’m very happy with his individual performance although I was expecting that we will create more chances for him. Saka in particular has been extremely frustrating with his refusal to pass to him. He has cost Gyokeres several goals.

 

[Mamoon]

The biggest transfer mistake made by the club in recent years was not upgrading on Martinelli when superior players like Kvara and Diaz (before Liverpool bought him) were available on the market.

Also, not signing Olise from Palace was a big miss as well. He was outplaying Saka in the same league while playing for a weaker team.

 

[Mamoon]

Madueke almost put Arsenal into the lead early in the game when he dribbled past their backline and crossed the ball to Martinelli who as usual, was in the wrong position to do something about it.

Madueke is at the door of being a really dangerous winger. Even a 50% improvement in his decision-making will convert into him a lethal winger. He has everything else in his locker.

I will definitely not sell him any time soon because there is hope that he will improve because the raw ingredients are there.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Arteta was to buying donkeys like Havertz. But but he's world class in the making..

But but Arsenal should have got olise



Arteta was more bothered about creating donkey farms with zinchenko, Jesus, havertz, jorghino and other dust bin left overs then getting olise. Arsenal should have signed Eze 2 years, earlier then they did.

What horrible Haram ball from yesterday's match.

I have seen only highlights form the Graham days of negative footy but at least he won trophies.

Arteta started with very advanced positional footy at the start of the season and now has totally given up and is making them play only tactical without any fluidity nor attacking nous . All the nice partial innovations such as free roaming wingbacks have all more or less been abandoned.

Also, Saka, just like other over hyped English players, has been struggling since his 2024 injury. This team shouldn't have lost to Man City twice recently . Should have won yesterday against Atleti, who btw were pressing, keeping and transitioning the ball better than the Gunners.

Even if we make it to the finals, with the kind of footy we are playing right now, either of PSG or Bayern will maul us worse than a Grizzly mauling a Fawn.

This haram ball is the reason Arsenal are top of the league and has one foot in the UCL final.

This is a not a great footballing side. The midfield doesn’t have technical quality and the wingers are not dangerous.

Arsenal would have been in a top 4 scrap and out of UCL quite early if Arteta was playing offensive football.

Offensive football when you don’t have elite talent on your hands produces failure which we saw in the last 10 years of Wenger.

There are only a handful of teams today and over the last decade or so who were successful while playing attacking football, but not every club has the luxury of having such players at their disposal.

Arteta’s football isn’t pretty but it’s producing results and maximizing the potential of this squad. It is effective.

They were all good signings for the time. Zinchenko and Jesus helped Arsenal become title contenders and Havertz and Jorginho brought depth to the team. Apart from Havertz, Arsenal have outgrown the other players but Havertz still has a big role to play in the next couple of seasons.

Arsenal won 2 league titles under GG playing a balance of attacking and defensive football. Nowadays people get this notion that Arsenal played haram football for 2 titles, we didn't.

After Arsenal lost to Benfica at home in European cup, GG changed style of play as he was worried that if Arsenal were in Europe again, we would get smashed for being to open and not technically good enough. Also players like Thomas, Rocastle were replaced by more workmen like midfielders. The flair in team went, then we became a good cup side, but not good in the league.

Current Arsenal team has players who are in some cases good and some flair players, but even with that the style is haram and do not lose. Just a mismanagement of resources

I think eze is a bit better than odegaard in the same position. However I’d like to see eze on left wing. I think you’d maximise his attacking output there and he could be a huge upgrade on martinelli/trossard.

Just thinking out loud here. Here’s how both look to me at this stage.

Fitness: Eze doesn’t look the fittest to me but Odegaard’s fitness has regressed to alarming levels.

Pressing and defensive work: Odegaard better

Get deep to receive ball, dictate play: Odegaard

Creating chances from open play and assists: Odegaard

Arriving in box and score: Equal

Set piece delivery: Odegaard

Better in one on one situations: Eze

Based on above I’d play Odegaard as creative/attacking midfielder and Eze on the left.

Arsenal should sell Martinelli and sign another LW as well as sign another creative midfielder. Eze needs to compete for both positions.

Rice and Zubimendi should be competing for one position. Both can’t play together.

 

[Obaidd]

He’s our new centre forward

In August, I was wondering what Eze’s best position for Arsenal would be. That’s a question that still appears to be unanswered for Arsenal.

Meanwhile, this is @topspin ‘s reply to my very legitimate question.
