Arteta confirms Balogun close to signing new contract. Another bit of great news.

I've seen so little of him, but still because hes been dangled seemingly just out of reach for so long it feels like a relief that he's signed. Hopefully he gets a good loan now. He's gonna need 30-40 senior games under his belt to get any consistencey.Unless hes a freak like messi, Mbappe or cesc.

Ray

Now for Kido Taylor to sign.

Rohit

Impressive. Thought he was gone. Arteta has done well in his personal relationships with individuals. Needs to do better to get more out of them as a team.

IBL

Really good news re Bolagun, need him to start getting some proper playing time.

Ricky1985

Really good news. Now let's see what he's got in pre-season and take it from there. If Kido Taylor-Hart signs as well, we'll have done very well.

Meatwad and co like this.

Luiz hasn't been close to our best defender. And Laca has been shot shy all season. Xhaka is our best mid by default because we loaned out our decent mids and kept Elneny and a loser from Real. The squad composition and who plays regularly are largely down to Arteta and he's made terrible decisions all season.

You’re not seriously trying to say that if Douzi, AMN or Willock were still here that they’d be out performing Xhaka?

That’s ridiculous.

Which one in particular are you referring to?

Only watched the last half hour but the U18s and the likes of Azeez, Kido and Hutchinson ran riot against West Ham in the FA Youth Cup to win 3-1. Looked like they would score with every attack.

No mention on here that Balogun signed a new deal with us? Arteta and the boys seem to have really nuked this place's energy.

Great news. Although I imagine we probably gave in to all of his/his agent's demands. Hopefully he'll turn out to be as good as Saka and ESR, then it doesn't matter.

Maybe he'll even become good enough to get us promoted back to the PL in a few seasons...

Qwiss

If we sell one or both of Eddie and Laca in the summer this should be an easy promotion into the role Eddie currently has.

Klaus

Great news. Hope we can tie down Taylor-Hart too before his contract runs out.

Claudius

It sounds like Nketiah is on the block. Maybe Edu does know a thing or two about logical squad planning. Nketiah has been given his chances and will leave with a lot of goodwill like Iwobi. Two African boys who will always be part of the Arsenal family

Klaus

Two african boys that have been getting tons of racist abuse from our own fans. I bet they think fuck the Arsenal family. They probably hate everything about our fanbase with a passion.

Aye elneny isn't a huge fan either, he asked the fans to not give him shit when they're back in the stadium.

Sicario

Really looking forward to watching this guy boss it next season. Have high hopes for him. Glad it didn’t go the way of a Gnabry and we managed to secure him, otherwise we could have regretted it like the German.

Don't equate Elneny not wanting to be criticised for his performances by the stadium crowd with the vile racist abuse players are getting online. They are not the same thing.

Every fan base in England has nasty elements. This behavior is inexcusable.
But I also think our players are victim to a general displeasure with the team. We are taking out our anger with the state of thins on them. Doesn’t make it right, just what it is

lorddulaarsenal

So pleased he has signed up. Strikes me as a very clever player.

Aye I'm mates with a player who plays for a team that used to be better than they are are now. And the fans are horrid to them. The players hate them. It does break down the relationship of the players with the club.
