Arteta Reveals Tough Decisions Ahead for Some Arsenal Players
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta reveals that some players will leave the club.
He shared the reason behind this and stated that they need to leave the club to be valued by others and for the sake of their reputation.
“It’s a really, really tough moment. We need to face that reality. But you have to face it with a real honesty and transparency. When you’re on the other side, it’s exactly what you need.
“You might not like what you’ve been told, but if it’s truthful, if it’s the reality and honest and makes you make better decisions and have more clarity for the next step in your career, you have to do that. These are always difficult conversations. But they need to be done.”
Joe Cole speaks on Arsenal and their chances of winning the Premier League this season. He suggests that if Arsenal can sign Victor Osimhen, the title could be theirs.
“I’m going to put an asterisk on this. I think Manchester City win the title if they [Arsenal] don’t bring in a number nine because I still think that will be a problem for them.
“Therefore, I am predicting Manchester City to clinch the league ahead of Arsenal, but if they sign Victor Osimhen, I would change my prediction. As it stands, my choice is Manchester City.”
Jay-Jay Okocha speaks on the popular GOAT debate between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi and shares his pick.
“Ronaldo is a special player. But he’s, for me, a goal scorer. He can score 10 million goals. He is a goal scorer. It’s like Haaland. Haaland is a goal scorer.”
“But Messi, Messi, Messi is on another planet,” he said.
“Messi was born to play football, you know. Messi, I think Messi will get ill if he doesn’t play football. You know, he’s a genius,” he added.
