Maduec is not a savior, nor is it a joke

6:47pm, 16 September 2025【Football】

This farce started with our signing of Noni Maduec. As soon as the official announcement was released, some fans actually launched a petition online, asking the club to cancel the transaction. This behavior itself is ridiculous. Will the Kroenke family care about the signatures of thousands of people on the Internet? They may not even know who Maduek is.

What is the reason for boycotting him? Because he has a Chelsea background? Or do you think the team has a position that needs more money to spend on Bisaka’s substitute? But I have never seen this 23-year-old perform so badly that he doesn't deserve to wear the Gunners jersey, either at Chelsea or England. When did we become so arrogant and think we can be so picky about a player with great strength? This arrogance is shocking.

However, more magical is still behind. It just means that the Gunners played four games and the wind turned 180 degrees. The same group of people who called him the most fiercer, now they are starting to praise him to heaven. Saying "this value is really good", satirizing those skeptics and asserting that he has proved that Arsenal's bench depth is enough to deal with injuries.

What is their evidence? It was a team that won a newly promoted team and a bus at home. But when the real test comes, we will challenge Liverpool away and we will lose. Because in the absence of key players, our offense is weak.

Cheap praise

When I ask for evidence from those who boast about Maduec's outstanding performance, they don't give goals or assists because there is no such thing as this. They would say, "Look at how sharp his breakthrough!"

Seriously, it is almost an insult to say to a professional attacker worth nearly £50 million, "Hey, you're doing well". Isn’t it his job to be extraordinary? When did we lower the standards so low?

I bet that Maduek himself would not agree with this praise. After the game, he walked back to the locker room and thought about his bad end-of-shot and pass options. If we want to become a champion team, we must use the championship standards to ask for it. Can you imagine that Pire, Orvimas or Lungberg will be forgiven for "bad offensive data but good excellence"? Absolutely impossible! The subtext behind this kind of praise is: "We originally thought you were very rubbish, so the expectations are low. As long as you do something a little right, it is a surprise."

The scar has healed and forgotten the pain

I just feel that some of our fans have experienced too many painful lessons, but will never learn to calm down. This emotional roller coaster model has been repeatedly staged in the past few years.

In January, someone asked: "How do you know that Envaneli cannot replace Saka?" - As a result, this talented boy proved to be too immature at a critical moment. Last season, someone said: "Havertz's goal count will definitely exceed Haaland!" - What's the result? Not to mention the absurd remarks of the classic "Maitland Niles is stronger than Kanter" back then.

We all hope that our young players can play. But the best platform for growth is to stay awake when they are in good times and support when they are in bad times, rather than to praise them as saviors before they score. If Maduec performs well now, what words should we use to describe it when he really starts scoring goals, assists, and carry games?

Let football return to common sense

Thinking that a winger's core evaluation indicator is not offensive data, this idea is simply a fantasy. If Tottenham's Cudus and Chelsea's Garnacho have no data, will their fans be satisfied? In Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​no attacker will receive praise just because he "passed through people".

So, those who are now clamoring to apologize to Maduek. The only ones that need to apologize are the idiots who initiated the petition. Maduec's performance at Chelsea is remarkable, and it is a basic fact that he has the potential to get better at Arsenal.

Please calm down and let football return to common sense. Give this young man some time and space to let him take a breath and play well.
