The Arsenal FC - Related News and Devts for all 2025-26 Season

Omari Hutchinson left Arsenal for Chelsea because he saw no path to first team football … he’s now an Ipswich player but Chelsea got a pretty decent fee for him after a successful loan spell

[danfo driver]

Big rumors that Arsenal are in for another Spanish goalie. Smh. How much money will this team bleed on one stinking position. If only the man had kept Martinez smh.

And we probably would have won the last two season. Still hurts like hell letting Martinez go.

Nnai Maazi Diokpa Emelike Umunede Thomas Agwoturumbe Ifechukwudennomanweze Azuzu, ke du ko di!?

I understand and I am glad you have come out to tell the Umu Nna! Are you now willing to have a conversation? Are you ready to allow peace reign, so you wont be "hurt like hell" next season? As our people say "a word is enough for the wise."

The tons of name you give me is very funny. How do you come up with these names. Hope to meet you one day and hear you say these names.

On the other matter, nothing to discuss.

You no like Kajifu at all

You can see how much pain this fanbase feel as Xhaka continues to succeed in life. They insulted him, threatened to kill his wife and attacked his children. He left, and since then, it has been blessings upon blessings, while their club continues to choke and fail. God is good!

Azuka,
What say you?
Joao Felix on a season long loan?

[azuka]

Azuka,
What say you?
Joao Felix on a season long loan?

Mmmm Sleaky, I don't think so.
For one the cost will be too expensive.
Two I don't think he's an Arteta type of players.
Three, is the striking position so critical we need to fill? I don't think so. With Kavertz and Jesus and the others contributing critical goals, that striking position is covered.
If I were Edu/Arteta, I will go for 2 #6s since getting a clone of Partey+Jorginho is impossible. Buy 2 #6s, so that Rice can be freed.

E be like sey nobody be "Arteta type player." I guess such a player is someone who knows how to choke the title 2 years in a row. Not many players have dont that, so makes sense.

But in all seriousness, you say this everytime. Could you define this? Keeping in mind that these are the players Arteta has bought at Arsenal:

- RIce
- Harvetz
- Ben White
- Gabriel Jesus
- Zinchenko
- TImber
- Partery
- Odegaard
- Viera
- Ramsdale
- Gabriel Maeghales
- Trossard
- Kiwior
- Tomiyasu
- Lokonga
- Pablo Mari
- Nuno Tavares
- Jorginho
- Turner
- Marquinhos
- Raya
- Runerson
- Trusty
- Cedri Soares
- Willian
- Mathew Ryan

When you look at this list of players above, what makes all of them "An Arterta Type of Player?" Thanks!

Expensive? For a season long loan? Nah.
Must say I’m a just a big fan of the lads game.
I think he’d thrive as an 8 or as a ten, or even as a false nine.
He has everything that Havertz has, including lack of a final consistent cutting edge in front of goal however his ball carrying ability through the final third is something he possesses, that we currently lack. He reminds me of a bigger Trossard, sans the finishing ability. The thought of him and Neto minus Zinchy, Viera, Smith-Rowe, Nketiah and Resis Nelson, leaves me smiling

Double check again. I think Barca were paying only half of him and Cancelo’s salary. Most times players on huge salaries that their parent clubs are unable to offload often come with huge loan fees. To get him on loan might be expensive.

Take the outfield players in that list. One aspect of Arteta's game which is not highlighted is his emphasis on his outfield players ball recovery. He puts a lot of emphasis on that. So Arteta tends to sign players who are ready to go after the ball immediately they lose it. Not players who throw their hands in the air and walk when they lose the ball.

Basically Arteta goes for players who are ready to put in the leg work in their game.

Among the goalies, Arteta is still searching for his ideal goalkeeper. A 10-points goalie with good leg work. A sweeper type of goalie.

Also, Arteta broods no argument from his players or staff. He goes for players who will listen and do what he says with little or no questions asked. Players that will absolutely trust him.

@Sleaky, Packerland has tried to explain what I mean by the cost of such a loan move. And if I remember correctly last time he came to Chelsea, it cost close 10m pounds on loan fees alone plus his wages. Is Arsenal ready to pay that much. I do not think so.

Well Chief it’s all about belief in the man.
If they believe that he can be the missing link
or the extra body that can get them over the massive mountain that’s Manchester City, then I don’t think that that cost would prohibit them from making the move .. and that’s the crux of my argument.
Anyway prolly a moot point. Apparently it’s been said that Athleti were really salty at the late trigger of the buy out clause of TP5 right before the season began. They’d prolly ask for a kings ransom from us anyway

Chief it’s a simple cost-benefit transaction.
If you believe he’s the missing piece then then the cost of salary and loan fee are irrelevant … and that’s what I was mainly referring to

So, an Arteta player is a "hardworking mumu?

Okay, seriousness -- There are a few names I can mention on the list like Lokonga, Tavares, etc etc, but lets take a high profile one - Gabriel jesus.

He is hardworking, but it is public knowledge that he is not a player who keeps quiet and does not "brood argument." We all know his public cries and speaking to the media about how humiliated he often felt at Man City. And even after all that, Arteta went and spent 50 million pounds to get him.

We really don't need him in my opinion. Arteta cost us the league last season with his sheninigans at the beginning of the season.
If there's a player I think we need it is Raphina of Barca. He will bring the X-factor into our play with his freekicks. Imagine having someone like him alongside our scoring abilities from free kicks.

I am glad you mentioned Gabriel Jesus. He's a typical Arteta player. When he plays Arsenal plays.
