If there is one club that Premier League fans are eager to see how they do this season, it is Arsenal. Pep Guardiola has already said that the Gunners are back at their best. Could Arteta’s team make such predictions come true? Arsenal fans feel they will win the league. After 12 games, they have only lost once and are a point behind league leaders Manchester City. So, can Arsenal live up to their high expectations?
Arteta, who was a vital member of Guardiola’s coaching staff at Manchester City, appears to have integrated his mentor’s (Guardiola’s) strategic tactics while adding his own flair to the Arsenal setup since joining the club in 2019.
Season after season, Arsenal improves.
Their performances in the early parts of this season have been distinguished by a blend of youthful energy and seasoned poise, and they are hinting they are exactly what Guardiola indicated they could be.
Speaking to the Manchester Evening News, Guardiola said: “They [Arsenal] are a good team, second they make man marking sometimes, allow you to do some process but after they are so aggressive. They have a clear pattern and really good team.
“They fought to be champions and now they’re here again. Arsenal are back. When I was a young boy and at Barcelona, Arsenal always were there I saw them fighting with Fergy’s [Sir Alex Ferguson] teams but now they’re back. When you look at the calendar, going to the Emirates is one of the toughest ones.”
Guardiola’s claims will be remembered throughout the season as a prophetic whisper that adds another layer of excitement to the 2023-24 Premier League narrative.
It remains to be seen whether Arsenal can convert praise into achievement, but one thing is certain: Guardiola’s comments indicate a rising power in North London, and the footballing world is waiting to see how the Gunners turn the Manchester City manager’s words into reality.

Arsenal can still makes the Emirates be feared by signing Vlohovic and Douglass Luiz or return to the London stadium for Lucas Paqueta, what a Winter window that would have been.
Wake up son, it’s noon already.
Am smelling coffee
Thank you. We desperately need a prolific striker who knows how to actually score goals ; Jesus is not the typical striker that can single handedly lead a team like Arsenal to a league title , he never did that @city , Aguero did and Jesus played mostly on the wing which he was very effective than in attack , they realized after 3-seasons they can never win the champions league with a striker with Jesus hence ; Erlin Halland signing and the released of Jesus.
Jesus is good but he’s also the typical player/striker a team like Arsenal and spurs needed when you want to improve from finishing 5th to 2nd position
Note: Last season when we needed Jesus the most , he was injured and that has been Jesus even @city ; Raheem Sterlin is as often played in a false-9 in his absence , Debruyne and Bernardo was also played in false-9 in Jesus absence … Even Zinchenko was played as a false-9 in the champions league quarter final and semi final when Jesus was fit but Pep-Guardiola put him on the bench … that alone said it all.
Arsenal had to share the responsibilities between our wingers and captain in Odegaard Martineli Saka who scored 15-goals in each and 15-assist each amongst them last season where our striker was no where to be found when we needed him d most.
Currently;, Arsenal current phase has outgrown players like Jesus or Nketia
Arsenal needs a striker like Kane or Prime Benzema or Lewandoski or Halland or Mbape
Tony for me isn’t better then Jesus whom I doubt if Jesus is fully fit , Jesus would get a nod ahead of Tony who may be ali2 better then Nketia but not really better than Jesus
Tony best season was last season and he scored 9-penalties from his 15-goals + there is not pressure playing for a team like Brentford which I doubt he will be better in front of goals than Nketia who plays with pressure that comes with playing for a club the size of Arsenal , “if he joins Arsenal”.
Tony is also on a ban and has not kicked a footbal since last season end … singing him won’t make any impact immediately at Arsenal until the end of the season + he’s 28yrs old in January
Note : Arsenal need striker like Mbape that can guarantee you goals 101% and he will compete with Halland in all ramifications which is healthy for the team + he’s 25 by January.

Victor Osimeh is good but with injury history
If we really want to spend on a striker , why not spend the money once and for all
Go all out for kylian Mbape and give him jersey 10
He already made that comment before their visit to our ground earlier this season.
Go all out for kylian Mbape once and for all , give him jersey no10
He will settle in perfectly with Saliba , Grabriel speaks French and Mikel Arteta has also played in France b4.
Mbape will elevate players like saka and Martineli in a new dimension
Players like Odegaard will start giving those one true pass/assist … Mbape will light up the league
3rd in the last Balon d’or nominees , he will healthily compete for the league title and champions league trophy because he needs to go back there to win it , competing with Halland … it’s a huge win for the team and he doesn’t get injured and he’s currently 24hrs which is very healthy an investment.
Why should we spend 80m+ on average striker like Tony when Mbape is I’ll actually cost the same amount or 100m in January 🤷♂️
The Business side Mbape is I’ll bring to Arsenal is enough to pay his wages , more ticket sales , Sponsorship deals , Guaranteed goals & Trophies 🏆
KSE should pls give us this Mbape deal.
Let go of Jesus and his wages to juve + £50m
Let go of Cedric and partey which will free huge wages too + transfer fee for Partey.
Keep Nketia , he’s ok for a second choice striker and he doesn’t complain.
Note: it’s an error paying 80m+ for Toney who has not kicked a ball since last season and @28 come January.
The current state of Arsenal process , we’ve outgrown players like Tony or Jesus … we need KM10
With KM10 comes more Ticket sales , Legit Endorsements Deals , Guaranteed 25+ important goals and a legit striker leading the front-3 + Guaranteed Trophies 🏆.
