What was Lee Gunner's reaction to the win?

/a/rsenal

>>150289851
Were the rules so harsh last season? It feels like the penalties have doubled.

Will Arsenal sell Gyokeres now or at least loan him out before the transfer window closes? He is clearly not good enough.

>>150289911
My boy Viktor, just needs more time.

>>150289911
lets see him again a team more his level next week, the destroyer of leeds

>>150289910
no, it's the same rules

>>150289911
the lacerator of leeds is on next week.

Lets give Victor the benefit of the doubt rn hes still getting used to the league after ONE GAME, i expect him to banging goals in the next few games

can someone answer this pls? >>150289849

>>150290016
Yeah even Roy Keane in the post match analysis said it'll take him a few games

>>150289840

one thing I admire about Bukrappo is his performance level stays consistent

>>150290700
Of course it's a 17:30 kickoff instead of a standard 3pm.

>>150290857
he's just saying what we were all thinking and saying

Calafiori might be one of the best attacking fullbacks and usually he can't defend for shit but he defended well today but contributed less in attack. Tap in header goal aside. He might be close to finding that balance. Unless he breaks his knee again next week.

>>150290970
Hopefully he's like timber where he was out for his whole first season but was LANS the next

Martin Ødegaard won possession more times (5) and completed more take-ons (3) than any other Arsenal player in the first half vs. Man Utd.

He also made twice as many final third passes than any of his teammates (12).

On another fun note he's now joint 2nd most successful arsenal captain in history, joint with Vieira. Only Tony Adams has more wins as captain.

Where can I buy tickets for games? never been to england and I've been forever wanting to go there for a weekend and see a home game

>>150291237
You need at least a red membership to apply to the ballot. Otherwise you can use 3rd party resellers but be prepared to pay 3x or 4x the price.

>>150291229
>On another fun note he's now joint 2nd most successful arsenal captain in history

>>150291237
that will be 250 quid, senpai

>>150291006
He's not. We all know he's not. He's had like fucking 50 injuries and he's like 23.

>>150291237
arsenal.com
Good luck though, there's a ballot. A tough one.

His knees won't hold up for the entirety of the season, but well done Ricky.

We got dominated by Man United today

>>150291431
l-let them have the ball..

>>150291443
Kek but seriously we need to hold the ball better. I'm starting to doubt Arteta.

>>150291269
>>150291333
>>150291391
I guess foreigners coming for a visit don't have a choice here. I could fork out 300-400€ for two middle upper stand seats.

this game was never in doubt, this team is good against big teams. they just shit the bed against mid table teams at home and will do again very soon.

>>150291469
If you're talking about Club Level then yeah those seats are 90% tourists. You're not going to have an atmosphere or interact with real fans

im overall happy today
>shit football
sure
>no chances created
sure
etc etc however, 3 points are points. the only thing thats worrying is that shit teams like poocastle will see this game and think
>hmmm press with 3 forwards and hoof it everytime to some nbugu
now that will be more annoying than low blocks

>>150291415
I still fucking love that Calafiori thought hard about taking his shirt off but realised Michael Oliver would give him a straight red for it.

Not gonna hate on big Vik. He got nearly zero service and players like Rice and Saka were annoymous for much of the game.

Madueke isn't fit I don't know why he was subbed on. He couldn't run for shit. Should've left calafiori on the left with MLS playing behind him. Calafiori winger era starts now.

yea even after having some sleep and waking up it's still a stinky performance.
could have been much uglier if it wasn't for raya.

>>150294923
Why isn't a professional footballer fit?

i love the amount of seething with win like this

>>150294923
Buddy, I've got bad news for you. You're used to watching Martinelli bust his lungs for 90 minutes straight. You are not going to get that from Madueke.

>>150295921
Both sides are seething kek

>>150296942
This is the only massive problem I have with Arsenal right now
They need to learn how to attack from the middle again, it's been 3 years since we started doing the death by a thousand cuts haramball and teams already know how to deal with it

>>150296942
I'm not worried about Gyokeres but rather the way cone placer is using him. He should be playing through the middle, not out wide.

>>150297106
We've become too reliant on triangle passes on the sides instead of hoofing it in the box and see Gyokeres do the needful

how do we solve the "we're playing like shit, attacking like shit, defending like shit" issue?

>>150297299
Arteta out.

>>150291229
He was shit last season

>>150297079
I think that is what we are trying to do. Well at least we tried it yesterday. We barely had any horseshoe possession (maybe 1 or 2 times (compared to the usual 50)). The issue with leaving the horseshoe and trying to play more direct is that we are so open for the counter.

>>150297911
Everyone was hoofing it yesterday. Its funny how everyone will mock >us if we suggest that the team played better while losing but now everyone is using this cope for Yanited.

People crying about which fullbacks should start should just be glad we have 4 great fullbacks (should be 5, RIP tomi). This club employed Andre Santos and Carl Jenkinson not so long ago.

>>150297964
Did you make one for every player yesterday? I believe it should be possible since everyone gave the ball away.

Gyökeres won’t get any chances if the whole attack has a stinker like yesterday, >we didn’t even manage >our usual horseshoe of death because the whole team apart from the defense was crap. Also playing at Old Trafford turns every Arsenal attacker into a wobbly mess. What’s more concerning is that everyone‘s fitness level looks ass, people being gassed after 60 min ? Also did anyone catch any news about White‘s injury ?

Manure always play their best when they're facing these 3 teams: Liverpoo, Shitty and Arsenal... especially at old toilet.
And first game of the season is always tricky,....
I'm satisfied with the result.

>Arteta: “18 years? 22 years at Old Trafford without winning before I came. Now I go into the dressing room, we won and they’re not happy. It’s a good sign.”
At least they know they were shit.

>Since the start of 2023-24, Arsenal have scored 31 Premier League goals from corners – at least 11 more than any other side.
>In that same period, Manchester United have conceded the most with 23 goals coming from corners.
It was written in the stars. But still, I am surprised Arsenal held on for the win.

The ball was going in anyway.

>>150297964
last move was decent

>>150296942
Funny thing, it was enough for the Manure.
In fact:
>playing with 10 men (Gyo was useless)
>only creating 1 (one) big chance the whole game
>getting dominated
>only scoring from a set-piece
>comedy defending
was still enough to beat Manure, at OT at that, lmao.

>>150297299
Why, by employing the "grinding out wins like that is the sign of champions" philosophy.
That is, by doing abso-fucking-lutely nothing.

>>150297964
Where is that blind and deluded jester who was defending Fraudeshaart now, huh!?

>>150297299
Only with time. We were shit because the playstyle is currently being overhauled. Players were going for passes that they would never have attempted last season, and were fucking up the timings since they obviously aren't used to it. It'll take time to settle in, but that's something we dont have.

Retards will say "sign of champions" and what-not, but then will be first to cry when we get fucked at St. James' park or Anfield. Having to scam wins is fine in like matchweek 33 when you just need the points and to move on to the next week, but from match day 1 is just concerning.

United didn't have any clear cut chances. The best chance of the game landed at maduekes feet late on for a tap in but he miss kicked the ball. Great defensive performance overall. Leeds at home should bring the attack up to speed.

>>150300556
>Leeds at home should bring the attack up to speed.
We hope.

>>150300375
Wasn't Ødegaard our best outfield player yesterday? Sure it wasn't hard because everyone played like shit but still.

>>150300375
Here. Look at the underlying numbers instead of just one-off clips please.

How about watching the match instead?

>>150297911
>>150297964
Anon you got the one where gibraltargaard scoops the ball to an offside saka instead of playing a simple throughball to gyokeres?

Speaking of Odegaard, this is the type of pass he should be making when you have a striker like Gyokeres.
(Yes, I know Saka is offside here, but still)

>>150300346
Why do you retards keep thinking that beating Manure is impressive? This isn't 2008.

He's clearly making fun of Yanited, not claiming that it's impressive.
Retard.

who's a more consistent hair flicker now that gyokeres is here, him or martin odegaard?
personally i think martin is still the no.1 hair flicker world wide but viktor is showing promise as an upcoming hair flicking champion, he's got a real chance to dethrone martin.

>>150301077
I don't know, but I'm sure having to see Madueke adjust his headband will annoy me a lot this season.

>>150301095
yea coupled with his dogshit footballing ability it's a nightmare on that LW.
either him or the defending winger gabriel shartinelli.

>>150301028
Isn't this the time he always passes and the majority here complains that he didn't take a shot?

arse wins and you retards are still complaining

>>150301152
because we will lose the future games if we keep on playing like today.

>>150301135
Yeah, but usually Havertz/Merino were where Martinelli is and Saka is nearer to where White is.

>>150300765
His performance did not pass the eye test, simple as.

>Nicolas Pépé had more touches in the opp. box (15), created more chances (6) and had more shots on target (4) than any other player in LaLiga this weekend.

>He also provided an assist.

Heh, nick peepz

we played like shit simple as

>>150297299
>defending like shit
We have the best defense in the world wtf are you talking about?

i love arseblog and the podcasts

>>150301597
must've missed the game then champ.

>>150301732
Same, they've been part of my routine for a decade now.
Actually have gotten fitter because of it too, good stuff to listen to while jogging on the days of the week I don't go to the gym.

>>150302205
I think all three kits are really nice this season. I'll only get the home shirt for now though.

the gyokeres chant is really good, shame my boy doesn't look like he's gonna bag lots of goals anytime soon.

>>150302205
My goat

heh just wait until Gyoknunez plays Porto or West Brom

didn't catch the game fully, how was Noni?

>>150303165
Worse than Martinelli

>>150303259
hope he starts some games on the right

holy shitz what if we sold shartinelli and trossard and brought eze/LW on deadline day?

>>150303165
So bad that some anons thought he MUST be injured lol

Don't concede any penalties on Saturday.

>>150302280
he will score goals. he is a mentality monster.

>>150304891
Definitely. But still Arsenal need clutch goals, and winning goals to turn those 14 draws last season in to wins. I hope he can contribute towards that.

>>150305042
he will. but give it a few games - after all we've been playing without a striker for year - the team needs to adjust to him and he to the team.

>>150305042
fraudegaard just needs a mental reset so he can find Gyökeres like he found players two seasons ago. he's been over-arteta'd + the injury

Can see Leeds nabbing a result Saturday

>>150305196
maybe if they pay off the officials again

Arsenal's first 3pm fixtures are all the way in October (all London derbies).

Raya

White - Saliba - Gabriel - Timber

Rice - Zubi

Saka - eze - Leao

Gyok

>>150305874
Bukrappo stealing a living

>>150305874
bro, this tinpot club aint signing no more players. enjoy top 4.

just saw the Leeds’ pen, holy fuck it’s GW 1 and the refs have already had quite a few stinkers. With how >we got referred on Sunday and the way >we are ‘playing’ trying to accommodate Gyökeres now >we might be in deep shit even vs clubs like Leeds.

>>150291229
he was alright but there were still a few of his typical shots where he seemingly had every embarrassment of his childhood flash through his mind at the moment before he swung his boot. there was one where i carried the ball a fair bit with some dribbles and had a load of space just outside the box and i actually had hope he was about to blast it in, but then he did it again and tamely shot at the keeper. until the lad can grow a set of balls he'll keep being frustrating to watch.

>>150306282
ffs Martin get your shit together.

>>150291229
Still a fraud. A proper #10 would be unreal in this team....Can you imagine Cazorla in this team?

>Martin Ødegaard won possession more times (5) and completed more take-ons (3) than any other Arsenal player in the first half vs. Man Utd.

But how many through passes did this limp wristed fag attempt to our striker??
>On another fun note he's now joint 2nd most successful arsenal captain in history
Last I checked successful meant won trophies

>>150308339
>On another fun note he's now joint 2nd most successful arsenal captain in history
>Last I checked successful meant won trophies
he's won one community shield i guess...

This team's been playing crosslop for so long nobody knows how to play through passes anymore. I cringed so hard when Odefraud kept sending Gyokeres wide.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAsP-oUjQ4w

It'll take time for them to adjust to gyokeres runs. Leeds at home should give them ample opportunity. I think gyokeres will score a couple.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has addressed Myles Lewis-Skelly's disciplinary issues, particularly after he was substituted in the first half of a Champions League match due to a yellow card and a subsequent reckless challenge. Arteta emphasizes the need for Lewis-Skelly, a young and intelligent player, to understand the "thin line" between aggression and control to avoid being a "liability" on the pitch. While not wanting to lose the player's inherent courage and "essence," the team is focused on teaching him to manage risks, control situations, and apply defensive principles effectively to prevent avoidable disciplinary actions.

>>150307957
You don't have to imagine. Zubimendi looks a fair bit like Cazorla (short, aggressive, good passer, technical with spinny moves)

>>150310977
Lewis-Skelly seems to have that David Luiz aura. Even if it is not a foul or a yellow cardable foul he looks so guilty with his body language that the ref can't help but to give him the worst possible punishment.

>>150311083
Zubimendi isn't short but I agree. He should be the creative one while Rice focuses more on defending.

Cazorla couldn't win the league with players like Giroud and Ozil and you bozos think things would be different if he was feeding Bukrappo Saka and Floperes

>>150311447
Cazorla couldn't win the league because he was always injured. The fact that he's still playing is a miracle.

>>150311729
Gabriel was better.

>>150311762
In what world is Kiwior an important player? Arsenal have 7 center backs

>>150311762
fack off arteta you cunt, he's an important player for what?
choking quarter finals against washed up wingers?
being unable to run faster than 5 km/h?
just sell em and sell one of GJ/GM/trossard etc and maybe get a decent player

>>150311762
I want him to stay. Him and Saliba partnership were geling and clicking. Stop it. Id prefer to keep all the players

>>150311795
In a world where 3 of them get injured, AKA this world

>>150311829
Kiwior can stay, he has my trust but one or Martinelli and/or Trossard along with the ever present list of the ‘unwanted’ have to be sold before the window closes to keep the sliver of hope that >we get a new LW alive (since Ode won’t ever be dropped not a proper replacement signed …)

We're winning 3-0 against Leeds.

>>150312315
That's the spirit!

Eze is going to Spurs. You lot were spamming shit like “it’s only an Eze of time” and now he’s going to Spurs. I demand that you feel shame and embarrassment.

>>150312598
But that's what the >mata meme is all about.

>>150312003
oh he's gonna stay alright, no one is gonna pay more than 15 mil for this top guy. and his value is likely to keep dropping.

>Mamdani is a fan of the New York Mets and the New York Giants.[150] He also supports the English football club Arsenal.[151]
He has my vote

>>150312315
You now remember Henry's goal vs Lelds.

>>150296942
Really unsuited to the way Arteta want his striker to play. Just show how inflexible Arteta is, even Pep change his entire system to acommodate Haaland.

>>150309394
Odefraud has ZERO vision

>>150313839
>Brownoid theater kid likes arse

>>150313839
Not quite Anne now is he.

>>150314149
Maybe if the rest of the overrated shitters like Bukrappo and Odeshart and Declan Shite were able to complete a pass then Gyokeres would get more shooting opportunities

Your creative spark everyone

do we hit panic mode when Gyökeres ain’t scoring at least a hatty vs Leeds ? Or do we give him the obligatory first ten games ?

>BREAKING: Leandro Trossard has agreed a new contract at Arsenal, which will see his salary increased to reflect his squad role, but will still expire in 2027

>>150315368
????????
Berta cooking with retard fire.

>>150315145
if he starts getting service and doesn't capitalise then we can panic but he isn't getting any through balls from ode/zubi atm

>>150315368

>salary increased

Is Edu back or something? What fucking bargaining power does Drossard have, he's shit.

>>150315570
one more game of shartinelli on the left got them all scrambling

>>150315368
Trossard is the most clutch player in Arsenal squad

>So Tossard, literally no clubs are in for you, and there is no threat of you moving anywhere else, how does a pay rise sound so it becomes even more difficult to get rid of you?

What in the absolute retardation is this? Has any other club just given a mediocre squad player a pay rise for no reason?

Reports saying trossard will be a starter and martinelli is looking to be sold.

>>150315368
Classy.

y/n?

>>150322925
i sent a personal letter to mikel arteta asking him to play a gyokeres + saka with 3 defenders and 5 midfielders, i will get back to you when he responds.

We should probably sell gyokeres now while the window is still open. Take £40m and run

>>150323658
‘articles’ with ‘opinions’ like that makes me wish Gyökeres would score 40 league goals this season but I can’t see it. The team looks like so lost with a proper striker at the helm, they will probably need an ungodly amount of time to get used to playing with one - which is entirely Arteta’s fault.

>>150315145
even mbappe took 4 games to get on the scoresheet for madrid last year

Yeah it doesn't really make sense to play Saka on the right if cone placer wants to play crossslop.

Cut price of 40m for Hojlund

Chelsea to Arsenal pipeline VILL continue

Isak to arsenal
#HEREWEGO

Don't worry we doubled Drossard's money for no reason, for his ability to be mediocre in multiple positions.

>>150325076
Sørlothchads… our time is now

We should've signed Giroud back...

>>150325240
this will happen, won't it lmao
HAVERTZ YOU PRAT

>>150325076
And he was looking so stronger and fit too...
We're cursed.

Rodrygo - Martinelli swap deal

Big Mik getting into double figures this year.

Arsenal can sign all of these and they will still have goalscoring problem

time to buy this guy and send them vieira back too

>>150325638
only one of those can score goals

>>150325638
Even prime Henry would struggle under Arteta.

Arteta already furiously rubbing one out at the thought of being able to bring in yet another shit 6'4 central midfielder to play up front.

>Havertz injured
Looks like Mikel Merino is back

it begins

>>150325076
Time for a loan most likely. Still would like a true lw option over martinelli

.............................madueke will save the season

Willian is still a free agent btw

Raya
MLS Saliba Gabriel White
Zubimendi Odegaard Rice
Saka Gyokeres Trossard

This should be the team. I'm getting sick and tired of Martinelli doing fuck all.

>>150302205
lol

Cheeky loan bid for isak for this season because he's fallen out with his club sounds promising.....

>>150326312
He won’t accept not being 100% starter and arteta won’t be based and play 2 strikers

>>150326194
Trossard or Martinelli? If we want to increase our chance of scoring goals then Trossard, if we want to increase our chance of dominating play and not concede goals then Martinelli.

I would rather we have Martinelli and try to make that final tweak that makes us go from dominating teams on the pitch to also dominating them on the scoreboard. Gyökeres is supposed to be the final piece of that puzzle.

>>150326312
it's only a vardy of time

in a dark reminder, we are yet again sitting face to face with the main reason this club got derailed in the last couple of years, which is buying kai(ser) havertz for 65million and paying him 260k weekly.
its such a determintal decision and still haunts us to this very day.

reminder that Sharteta rushed Havertz back purely for PR reasons end of last season

BREAKING: Although the club are still assessing, the early prognosis is that Kai Havertz has not suffered an ACL injury.

Same for timber, white, saka, fraudergaard and literally everyone

>inter wants kiwi
Need it or keep it

buy semen yo or the rafa leao but instead we'll just shift shartin shartinelli into cf when viktor inevitably gets injuried and play shitweeke LW which finally concludes into a career ending saka injury cuz he never actually gets rested.
the project implodes, arteta flees to san sebestian which he never stops talking about, martin odegaard stops playing football to create as many children with his wife as possible, saliba, rice and zubimendi all get sold for peanuts , and the kronkes cash out a massive cheque selling the wretched club to another jewish penny penching americanos.
then and only then, we start rebuilding the team from the grounds up.

yea but arteta like """"versatile"""" players and i think semenyo has no issue playing on either wing, beside, any cunt who can run and look with his head up is miles better than martinelli so that that.

>>150328408
We're so back.

>>150328495
>gunnersaurus
We already have Kai's replacement?

>>150328495
>gyokeres hair flicking even in training

Lmao spuds

Berta slipped the contract just when Eze picked up the pen lmao

WE ARE SO BACK

eze isn't changing shit, we will never win a major trophy under farteta unless he pulls out a squad like this

How long until arteta ruins him bros?

>>150328933

Looking forward to striker Merino!

I like African players on arsenal. Club always seemed to thrive with strong and skilled African players.

>>150328980
>this is the guy who will save this team
Yeah I’m not buying it

>striker injured
>sign a (hopefully played as) midfielder
???
Only makes sense if Merino AGAIN gets to play striker lmao
At least Spurs are on full meltdown mode.

>>150329024
Merino is an elite backup striker

>>150329096
Its not eternal bad form Martinelli and inconsistent Trossard. Might as well go for it.

Always the bridesmaid

>>150329116
Martinelli striker.

Let his name never be uttered in this thread until he gets good again. You know exactly who I mean.

Hoping for a generational spuds meltdown.

Those were the days.

>[Sami Mokbel] This deal moving very quickly. Expect Eze to be an Arsenal player. Agreement in principle already in place.

not sure if I can be too happy because Kai (with >our injury luck) will probably be out for months.

Watching a spurs fan channel reacting live to the news is fucking hilarious.

HERE WE GO

>>150329448
The Fighting Cock's Transfers thread is really funny
The timing of it all as well makes it look like Arsenal learnt about Havertz today, phoned Palace and immediately signed Eze while they've known about Maddison being out probably all season for weeks and done fuck all
(Forget that Eze and Havertz play in different positions - it's just what they're saying)
Levy is a stingy cunt mind, it must be so frustrating

>>150329125
But… he won’t play as a winger or am i retarded
And bro is not taking rice/gibraltargaards spot so he’ll be an eternal 15 minute sub

Gyökeres scored 40 goals in two seasons for Coventry thoughbeit. His agent said that he had interest from midtable and bottom table clubs in England but he wanted the top ones, so thought it's better to go to a top team in a shit league abroad to bang in goals, get some CL experience and then make a move to a top team in England

>>150329777
I was just thinking this. Double agent vinai coming through.

>>150311550
the more time you spend out injured the less wear and tear on your body
once all his surgeries and rehab was done he was probably in better shape than most players his age and he'd barely been injured in his already long career otherwise so it makes sense that he'd keep playing for a long time. also he's clearly passionate about playing or he'd have given up back when he had gangrene and all that.

>>150331383

>>150331479
>80 million
too bad you can’t force a player to accept that kind of offer.

The Independent can now reveal that Arsenal had actually struck the principles of an agreement with Crystal Palace for Eberechi Eze as early as the morning of Sunday, 10 August. [@MiguelDelaney]

Berta does it again

The reaction I'm seeing, people are more hyped for this thank gyok
I knew Eze was liked but not by this much

>>150331864
A good chunk of it is just because >we cucked Sp*ds I'm pretty sure

>>150331864
because every dipshit thinks the left is the problem and eze will solve it magically somehow by playing at 8/10

Tottenham’s negotiations for Eberechi Eze had encountered repeated difficulties over the last few days & there were constant hold-ups. There is now a belief, especially within Spurs, that Crystal Palace were stalling & were waiting for Arsenal to come back. [@MiguelDelaney]

@FabrizioRomano: “In the last hours, Arsenal decided to match Tottenham’s bid for Eberechi Eze. The player said yes to Arsenal, it was his dream to go to Arsenal. It was not possible in this transfer window until today & then the Havertz injury opened the door.” [YouTube]

>spend £300m
>still need a striker
Bert OUT
Arteta OUT

>>150331864
I think it’s more that Arsenal dabbed on Spurs than Eze being hyped.
He is really good though and if Arsenal can sell Martinelli and add another defender they’re golden.

What rhymes with eze? Need to think up a new chant

Arsenal have players they can offer that Crystal Palace need. It is possible a deal is next done for Jakub Kiwior, given Palace’s need for a centre-half on that side. [@MiguelDelaney]

Just woke up to the Eze news.

>>150332147
Good to see you're here, the news inspired me enough to make one

the Trossard pay increase makes sense now, it’s likely he’ll be playing second fiddle to Gyokeres unless a new striker is brought in

>This many black players in the team
but I was told sharteta is a racist

>>150332227
BASED. Thank you, Brazil-anon.

>>150331954
literally why would Palace give a shit about who they sold him to

>>150332715
We supposedly proposed better terms.

"Apart from the fee" alright lmao

>>150332715
Agreed better terms which is the entire reason why we hijacked the deal so easily. Spurs were wasting time trying to include a player swap and nitpicking over fine details. Also the player obviously wanted arsenal as a preference and would've communicated that to his agent and the club.

>>150332747
>Everything was agreed except how much we were gonna pay, how we were gonna pay it, when we were gonna pay it, and if the player wanted to come. Small details!

>>150331954
Kek Tottenham was never considered an option.

Anyone considered that orny has been doing us favours by saying we needed to sell and that we wanted eze for 40m and couldn't afford the 60m+, etc. Turns out we obviously had the money and had agreed a deal with Palace already.

Is Malick Fofana any good?

>>150333760
Not blown away by his compilation videos but a lot of people are saying he's an elite talent so I'll take him if the price is right.

Absolute meme institution. It's like the Platonic form of the perfect club to have as your rivals.

>>150333760
Never seen him play, but he'd be relatively cheap and just turned 20. Seems like the sort of punt signing they'd take now, I don't see chances of a Rodrygo or Gordon level deal after this. Our record on Ligue 1 recruitment is very mixed, though.

Is Eze playing LW?

Eberechi Eze’s medical at Arsenal has been booked from Friday, after tonight’s game with Crystal Palace.

>>150312598
KWAB

>>150331864
That's because he's black and the Arsenal fandom is 99% negroes, they love "LOOK AT HIM RUN" football.
Same fandom who think Ødegaard is a fraud when the team would be midtable at best without him lmao.

34 years ago a 27 year old Ian Wright joined Arsenal from Crystal Palace.

The rest is history…

it's still retarded to spend 50m on madueke tho.

>>150332570
Stop tempting me back to wuwa, dammit.

>>150337216
If the signing vid doesn't reference this it's a missed opportunity.

all the pressure is on Arteta now, the Eze signing frees up Trossard and Merino to play up front if needed and there is now enough firepower everywhere on the field to win it all. If Arteta can’t show up with results (offensively) after a few games his grace period will end very quickly. This team should absolutely steamroll 80% of the league.

https://x.com/AFC_Adi06/status/1958428196778680705?t=bH8GlErnQRMx7opexi1P4g&s=19

He's so good

>>150337292
Arteta will force him to stay wide.

Madueke/Trossard - Gyökeres/Merino - Saka/Nwaneri should be the starting front three

midfield always Rice - Eze - Zubi

Arteta just sucks the talent out of exciting attacking players, he turns them into workhorses. You'll never see Saka do this again.

>>150337303
am sorry but if u think we can just drop odegaard your not really serious.
he's the cornerstone of the system, maybe he can be challenged gradually but just outright playing without him suddenly will make the team collapse, not to mention he's El capitan.
i have no issue with eze challenging him for his position but the LW is for me(and many others) the most obvious glaring issue in the team.
and eze is always playing LW at Cp.

>>150337346
He has regressed.

>>150337303
Fuck the left wing, I'd rather see a 4-2-2-2 formation.

>>150337411
I was thinking the same the other day but couldn't come up with a single team who successfully played anything similar. I can't come up with how it would work in transition or in possession either. We would need to be extremely fluid in both attack and defense. And I don't think that will work well.

Anyone else worried that we have signed too many players? This season might become a bad one with a too big squad. With some bad results the players that aren't playing will become angry and then we become Man Utd or Chelsea with a broken squad.

>>150337216
But Wrighty was one of the best finishers in the PL era.

>>150337450
shipping shartinelli to saudi arabia, reiss nelson to the mid table, shitwior to the italian mafia, and zinchenko to the land of hair transplants would solve most of our issues, but rateta likes to collect players like pokemons and keep em by his side.

>>150337450
Ancelotti's Milan, with Pirlo playing deep and Kaka as the CAM, maybe? But yeah, in practical terms it probably wouldn't work as it would probably kill the fullbacks even more.

>Anyone else worried that we have signed too many players?
Given the likelihood of more injuries, no. Remember last season when we thought we had too many defenders and it turned out we didn't have enough for periods?

>>150337411
heres how you play a 4-2-2-2.

White - Saliba - Gabriel - Calafiori

Zubi - Rice

Ode - Eze

Saka - Gyok

>>150337450
nah bro we have an amazing squad from top to bottom. everyone understands their role.
we will go incredibly far in al competitions, league cup team alone should cruise first 2 rounds.

Gyok
Eze - Odegaard - Saka
Rice - Zubidubi
Cala - Saliba - Gabby - Timber

Only set up that makes sense to me desu.

Rate this league cup team.

Kepa

Timber - Mosquera - Kiwior - Skelly

Norgaard

Nwaneri - Trossard

Merino

Madueke - Martinelli

>>150337884
this is the factually correct way to play football.
just horshoe nonsense, beating around the bush with constant passing.
just straightforward passing and penetration runs.
but sharteta is not technically adept so he just sticks with his usual dogshit tactics.

>>150337927
calafiori, MLS, timber and ben SHITE are all interchangable for me, all of them are good enough to start any game(perhaps not benjamin shite), it just depends on the opponent imo.

>>150337927
>Timber in the League Cup team

Eze should be replacing Odeshit. Not toiling on the wing.

>>150337884
That is how you set up a 4-2-2-2.
How will this team defend an overlapping wing back? Is it Zubi and Rice that will go all the way out to the wing or will that be Ode and Eze? Saka and Gyok?

When we win the ball and two of the players are all the way out on the wing for defending. How will we attack? How will we keep possession in attack when everyone is so central and no width?

The way I see the 4-2-2-2 is that we would play a very direct attacking football through the middle with a very fluent forward 4. But that doesn't work if we are 4-4-2 in defense when we win the ball. Two players will be completely out of position for that direct attack.

>>150338076
White and Cali will do the work. Timber and Skelly in to rest and rotation. front 4 fluid enough to drift all over.

personally id just play a 4-2-3-1.

>>150337918
This one I agree with. I am also interested to see how Eze would play in the LCM role. We are extremely lightweight in that position in attack. Rice can probably play inverted LB when Calafiori inevitably injures himself and Lewis-Skelly inevitably gets sent off for a nothing challenge.

>>150337268
>wuwa
Only picked it up because of her lmao
>signing vid
Would be even funnier if Sol shows up.

>>150338094
White and Calafiori will defend against the winger. Last season we conceded a few goals from the opposition wing back because Trossard couldn't run back and defend. The opposition overlapping and crossing to another wing back on the far side forces two players from Arsenal to go deeper and defend. And Rice and Zubimendi need to cover the area in front of the defenders.

I also think we are best suited for a 4-2-3-1. Which would have fitted Kieran Tierney perfectly since that will leave no room for a cutting inside LB but a marauding one on the overlap.

Eze HAS to replace Ode NOW

It is understood Parish had reluctantly agreed a fee with Spurs that effectively matched Eze’s expired release clause of £67.5m, albeit with them paying less than the £60m they had asked for up front and with more bonuses included. Arsenal were well aware Palace wanted immediate funds for a replacement and were ready with an offer that satisfied both sides.

@ed_aarons

Spurs are such cucks

>>150338608
Maybe we can offer them a Fabio Viera to sweeten the deal?

>>150338619
We're selling them kiwior in a separate deal apparently

>>150338642
That works too, think Guehi is leaving as well, isn't he?

>>150338650
At this point it doesn't look like it because he wants guaranteed game time in preparation for the world cup so it's expected that he'll stay and run out his contract. But they need defensive back up anyway.

>ian wright was 27 when we signed him
that feels wrong.

>>150338725
He was a late bloomer.

https://x.com/EbereEze10/status/903350492247490560
They found Eze's old tweets.

Eze will take Arsenals spending in this PSR period to approximate 650m with around 160m in sales.

It is well known within football that the CAA Base agency, who represent Eze, have a close relationship with Tottenham which has spanned many years. When Spurs became aware that Arsenal had jumped in, it is understood that attempts were made to try and draw on that relationship and to see if anything could be done to keep Eze on the road to Tottenham.

But the agency had to be realistic. Once Arsenal were in the game, there was only ever going to be one destination. The message was relayed back to Spurs that this was an emotional decision and that there was nothing they could do to alter the outcome.

@MikeKeegan_DM

Arsenal have tweaked their recruitment style for the new season. Rather than focusing on three groups – starters, back-ups and prospects, the emphasis has been on making groups one and two almost indistinguishable from each other

@MikeKeegan_DM

>>150338930
A lot of fucking spending, especially during this transfer window. We'll probably end up trophyless again.

>>150338930
Half a bill spent will get you an FA cup in Arteta economics

kwab of the week

looking forward to the youtube videos in the future about shartinelli blowing it at arsenal

It's official: we're massive.

>>150315961
still expires in 2027 so the plan is clearly defo keep him until then in a sub role and pay him what he's worth so he wants to do that instead of accept a saudi offer

just the 4 months missed over the last 2 seasons then, this shouldn't be a problem

>>150339616
good.
Injury waiting to happen, otherwise.

Eze has been asking people for a long period of time "Are Arsenal there? Does Arteta want me?" . He was pushing team mates to explore the situation

When Eberechi Eze got his first Arsenal kit, it was the red & white classic with the O2 logo. It even had the same long sleeves favoured by his hero, Thierry Henry. Indeed, it meant so much to the boy that his parents still have it close to two decades later. [@MikeKeegan_DM]

>>150340273

>>150340273
I thought it wasn't going to happen, much like how it didn't for Zaha back then.

>>150340279
Super silly and I don't get why are they so worked up about it.
On the other hand, however, the way Spuds approached the deal, how long it was taking, and how it ended really reminded me of a few Assna deals of the past.

>>150340456
The Zaha debacle did not come to my mind, tho.

>>150289868
he's not ready for the pain

>>150340494
>I don't get why are they so worked up about it.
Because they're left seriously short in midfield. It's like not signing a striker in Jan when jesus got injured only for havertz to get injured too. Spurs need 2 midfielders but can't even get one over the line in 2 attempts. They realise they're fucked and it's all because of arsenal, and some bad luck that went against them.

confirmed

We sold Palace our best attacker so it's only fair they sell us theirs.

>>150340686
>ynr nshitiah

>>150340673
The Sun had this first hours ago btw. Great football coverage since April 1989!

>>150340038
imagine if we bought morgz in the first place instead of fucken madueke.
morgz is actually a good goal scorer/ passer. much better overall player, costs about the same and has the positive side effect of not giving 50 million pounds to fucken chelsea football club.
but no, we buy shitueke instead.

>>150340791
Madueke was bought to cover saka. Rodgers is like eze, primarily a 10 or left winger. I still think there will be departures and a chance at signing one more big signing before the end.

all the clubs that made it to the final stages of the CL got their cocks sucked off and applauded for doing soooo well except arsenal. arsenal laughed at for some reason for being better than most of every club in the world. well guess what. arsenal made lots of money and bought lots of good players. fuck you haters.

>>150340956
Based

>>150340098
Might be Berta doing what he did with Gyökeres. Looking at a lot of different options at the same time before choosing one. It might be a late rumor (as Eze seems to be the choice)

>>150340929
i dont know i just don't believe it's a smart purchase to get noni for 50m just to cover saka. why not let nwaneri or dowman rest him in done games and cups?
and how many times have noni played on the RW thus far with us?
it seems he's more of a martinelli replacement than a saka cover for now.

>>150341030
Apparently it was <10m a year over the next 5 years so it actually worked out favourably

Do you start martinelli or eze against Liverpool? Martinelli always scores against them but eze always plays well against them.

>>150341429
martinelli will be in mecca by then Inshallah

What are the nicknames going to be?
Shieze is the only one I can think of. Goatze as well but that's too niche and positive or negative depending on how you look at it so not a good option imo.

>>150341622
gotta be "too eze" for me innit.
just spamming this after he scores his first brace on his first start for us

>>150341752
Yeah, Too Eze is very good

What part do you not understand? Injuries and squad depth don't matter because your players are all shit

>>150342347
