Arsenal fan here. I think Arteta has handled it well. I don't think he "publicly humiliated" Aubameyang. If he thinks someone is no longer fit to be the captain, he is the manager and he has the power to change the captain.

The Amazon ALL OR NOTHING is gonna be JUICYYYYYYYYYYY

Arsenal fan since 1999 here, it sure sounds like a lot of things about Aubameyang were kept private for a long time. If we just take everything that is 100% fact, he pretty much deserves to be stripped but if we take into account that there had to be multiple other instances, they probably had no choice. Also, Tierney would be my pick for captain.

Kinda feel Auba had it coming. His around behavior has been appalling AND (probably more important) he has been ABSOLUTE RUBBISH in front of goal this season/last few matches.

Whenever arsenal players land a huge contract they fall off. Football fans can be fickle

Aubameyang to me is a guy who prefers the flash and fame of football over being dedicated and committed to the sport… I mean he’s breached protocol a few times already so he kinda has this coming… professional football players need to be professional, it’s their job not some “do whatever you like” lifestyle… The club were right in making this decision… although the next captain should be chosen wisely.

I think he’ll be shipped off soon. Great insight as usual, Adrian (though Paco would be nice. 😅) As an Arsenal fan, I always knew he’d drop off after the 300K contract. Like Mesut, performance dropped massively, not even scoring 20 goals in all season. Disappointing. This season, there was a brief period where he was okay but I was very skeptical. Arsenal doesn’t have an in and out striker right now and it’ll be a very interesting transfer market for Arsenal. Will Auba be shipped off? Will Arsenal bring a replacement

gets paid well over 300k a WEEK and he can’t turn up when asked. Why would any normal person feel sympathy

i fw aubameyang and he’s a great striker when he’s on form but he was never captain material , good in the locker room but doesnt command respect like that

How many chairs do you own Adrian? More than 10? I need to know

I was patiently waiting for this video, our armband is cursed fr

I didn't know anything about his discipline issue before this (I'm not an Arsenal guy so maybe that's why). From an outsiders perspective it's important to go ahead and put it out there so it's understood the club isn't just messing around, it was a necessary move.

Love your content ❤️🙌🏼

quite a lot of editing errors in this one guys

How do you NOT make this a public manner? WTF I have no sympathy Arteta made very clear about his 'non-negotiables' and he has clearly already bent the rules for him already!

I just want ONE NORMAL DAY as an Arsenal fan. Is that so much to ask for? 😫 Probably 😒

5:04 They told him to take the Wednesday night flight, as it was a precondition to him even be allowed to to take the leave. He didn't and is rightfully considered an infraction. They didn't have to allow him to take the leave especially as it involves cross border travel but they did it cos his mother was sick. He didn't abide by the preconditions and it wasn't his first offense so rightfully he was disciplined.

damn i didn't know all of that!! i tought he was just missing too many sitters!! thanks rabona!

Offering players the captaincy in a bid to keep them is a small club trying to entice a home town boy move. He has never been captain material.

Everyone would have asked why he was stripped of the captaincy anyway. Arteta made the correct decision by making it public

Amazing content as always

Cheers

I think if it were just this incident it would be unfair to remove the captaincy or even sanction him, but there has been a clear pattern of behaviour. Given his antecedents with Dortmund it just appears he is not the sort of person who should be entrusted with the armband. Furthermore, he has been abject for the team this season. I think Gabriel might emerge with the leadership role. My understanding is that Lacazette is planning to leave at season's end, and he has become a more peripheral player anyway. Xhaka being given the reins again seems unlikely. While he has some Roy Keane like qualities I feel he is lacking the things you mentioned when you described the Man U hard man earlier in this broadcast.

With everything going on at the club this is the last thing anyone wanted. We simply don't have enough information. Is. Auba being red card when a could a free kick should have been awarded or is he being sent off after his 5th yellow card offence of the match ?

I feel it's all hyped up for the amazon documentary.

It would be impossible for this to have stayed out the public eye

Could Arteta and the club have handled it better? Maybe, but how many times has Wenger and Emery been given shit for bending to the will of players? Emery was considered a joke for letting the squad vote for their captain (Xhaka winning, look how that went). Arteta has problems, tactically and with man management, giving he's given Auba PLENTY of chances and he continues to disrespect him, he deserves everything he's getting atm.

Hope we get a Augero video

Arsenal is not particularly a defensive based team so I think we should continue with history and keep our captaincy with someone up front. It’s was ozil before, then auba, it should go to lacazette until our defense grows or he leaves, then ramsdale should take it in the future when our defense really spreads its wings in hopefully about 2 or so years from now

Tbh i think this was coming long time and it was a matter of when not if

He had it coming, I am fed up with him as of late. I think just do whatever you need to get rid of him in January and be done with it. Get the wage bill off the books and look at buying a striker in the Summer and maybe give Laca another 2 years to mentor the group.

Aubamawho? Aubamawhat? AUBAMABLOODCLATYANG🤡🤡🤡

It’s more like a competition of who’s the bigger baby

Some might say hindsight is everything but he never should've been captain in first place, it seemed more like a popularity contest than making the right tactical choice

1:33 the club had to put the worst picture possible of Aubameyang on that header LOL looks like a scolded kid

How to say you think you are bigger than the club without saying you think you are bigger than the club.

sign da ting

seems harsh to me considering the context but that's mikel's perogative

Adrian, you're cool as f**k... Godspeed.

I think it's a disciplinary breach and Auba got stripped of his Captain role,which is indeed decent at the moment Arsenal are having. This is football,it takes a lot of courage to become an Arsenal captain but We're not really seeing that Auba when he came to the squad. An ideal Captain who could really lead the team is either Tierney ,Ramsdale or Lacazette. My pick has always been Tierney

Shouldnt have publicly aired him out like this.

Can some one explain to me the adrian and paco thing ? I am so confused. I watched some the Chanel videos where he introduced himself als paco and the next was Adrian. I really doubted and even thought some one stole his concept. No i wonder where all that paco Adrian Adrian Paco is coming from

There's no audio on this right? It's not just me?

I can’t lie I don’t know how you can possibly strip the club captaincy without doing it publicly and it’s clearly an issue that runs past Arteta

Oy , adrian could you pls make a video about this La Liga CVC nonsense with realmadrid barcelona and athletic bilbao?

Definitely not an Arteta fan, but how can any team maintain a degree of disciplinary consistency when the captain might do whatever they went. It's utter shame to see players put themselves above their teammates. I also think that with financed clubs like Arsenal, they knew full well he wasn't visiting his mother. Hope Klopp doesn't pick up a rehab case.

I think his disciplinary record being poor is a genuine issue especially as captain. However I think his influence is perhaps negative and his form has been abysmal. He is on huge wages and is actually a liability on the pitch. So its being used to rid the team of a negative asset and hopefully help move him on with less if a loss than just paying him another 25 million for doing nothing. You might feel that is unfair as Arsenal signed the contract but he really milked his resigning to gain maximum leverage and a ridiculous salary equal or greater than much better players then fell of a cliff form wise. He is doing pretty well out of it all and I hope we can just offload him and most of his wages as soon as possible and move on. At the start pf the season I had hope he would refind some form and he was working hard at least. But last few games he was abysmal and I think he is just unlikely to come back to anything like his old self. His sick mum could have taken some if the chances and his movement was crap. He will be fine. Maybe another manager and club is what he needs too. Hopefully we can compromise on his wages as no one will pay him that money. Ozil was a disgusting slug, but I think Auba is a different character and it would be nice if he left on reasonable terms and we can remember the goals and FA cup.

I think Auba had this coming. Didn't look like the first time he did it. While I don't think he's forcing a transfer here as he's getting good salary, I think he's just not a very disciplined person. I think he deserves everything happening to him. I'm not an Arsenal fan so I don't know their best candidate to be captain, but Smith Rowe impressed me every time I saw him so I think he can be the future captain. For now, Lacazette is probably the best choice, not because he's good enough for it, but because there isn't a better candidate.

He has always been like this. Ask Borussia Dortmund.

So even if he had returned on Wednesday he wouldn't have been able to train

I like Tierney as the next Arsenal caption

I think Arteta did the only thing he could do. He's the boss. If you have a player who doesn't always follow the rules, you have to deal with that. Any player can defend the "I lead by my record" argument, but I think a captain needs to be held to a higher standard. He needs to be a complete player and be solid in all aspects of the game, from discipline to performance. Aubamayang is a great athlete, but he's got some things to sort out to answer whether or not he is a complete player and therefore captain material. I wish the best for the guy, but overall, it's important that football not become toxically egotistical like American "football" is.

A lot of time we forget that it is just a game and life and family is far more important than even winning the champions league. Nothing happens even if a major club get relegated. You do not become a bad person if you are not playing at elite level every time. Lingard was made fun of due to his personal issues and mental health... A good manager would have given the freedom to attend important personal issues. Alex Ferguson allowed Cristiano to be with his dad during his last days. I am a barcelona fan. Nothing changed in my life when they lost to Bayern 8-2, nothing changed after Messi was forced to leave and nothing changes after they are in the Europa league... It's just a game.

*Drama In Arsenal* Amazon All or Nothing : Hehe Boi......

I'd say Laca should be captain until end of the season, with either Tierney, Odegaard, or Ramsdale as 2nd captain (when Laca isn't playing). They can decide who's the captain after summer comes (if Laca truly left)

The role of captain is so different in football compared to the American sports. Despite being a largely symbolic position it is taken so seriously in the footballing culture

If he go to barca..,you would think Xavi will allow some attitude like that?? NOPE...

look.. its hassan piker's younger brother!

Absolutely right decision. Auba is not a captain, that was the first mistake. He's one of the guys who went to Arsenal, because paid right, and being able to live in London. I hope he finds happiness somewhere else.

"At the very least, he has been dropped indefinately" So.... is he not coming back? 🤣

Never forget how Auba made his move to arsenal possible. He was never captain material

4:53 No? Arsenal do not have to take responsibility for this. What is this, kindergarten? If you agree with the club that you'll fly back on Wednesday, you fly back on Wednesday. It's irrelevant whether the COVID protocols were clear to Auba or not. He promised to do X, and then did Y so he's fully responsible.

Auba is a man child. 32 going on 15

I don’t think footballers understand how lucky they are to be in the 1% of riches. Yet they act like children and skip work. What a joke

After breaking the rules multiple times, there's no way Aubameyang should remain captain. Plus his form since the new deal went out the window. It's not the first time Arsenal had problems with the captaincy. Look at Gallas and Xhaka. Tierney is my pick for the captaincy. Gabriel is a good shout but not fluent in English and it's too early for Ramsdale despite showing great leadership.

hes that guy that got his check and think more about flexing ,

After he signed his contract, he dropped his form. What a scam.

Arteta did the right thing by taking the captaincy away from Auba but perhaps shouldn't have made it so public .

Make dem free am.Baba don taya...

Ramsdale or KT for me

Love Auba but it's time to go. The money has ruined him. He's not hungry for goals and just seems bored with football. He's into the fame and the London lifestyle but I think he's bored of Arsenal's football journey

If he had breached rules but still scored goals, he wouldn't be dropped. Its the combination of being undisciplined and rubbish that got him.

What happened? He isn't coached by Klopp anymore, that's what.

Well I feel like there is a lot of things we don't know that are a play here and the club went and made it public is a bad decision. This is internal stuff and should stay internal. Why do we care about a captains band in the first place does this matter in this day and age. A leader is going to lead and a player is not going to become a leader because he has an armband on his arm.

Gabriel is really good for captaincy

It's freackin' stupid...if he was there ready for the training session!!! It's BS

Auda booldclat yang

Aubameyong not understand the Covid protocol is a piss poor excuse. You get away with that if you're a child. That's all on him. Also if he held up his side of the agreement to return on time, then it's not even a discussion points.

bed... sleep...

Hope Milan go for him

This club is truly finished

The same reason why Klopp didn't bring him to Liverpool.

Unpopular opinion, but I love tomiyasu to be our captain.

Off to Barcelona

Who is here from watch mojo

Arsenal looks better without him missing sitters

Abu has been a liability ever since the 300k/week pay. His performance has been mediocre since. Mikel Arteta should have offload Abu long ago. Look at the team now without Abu.

Aubameyang I will advise u to leave Arsenal ,nothing will change, just leave

Auba has incredible talent but is in no way captain material. Arsenal are in desperate need of a leader.

Ramsdale

I don't get why Arsenal decided to make an official post regarding the whole situation instead of just taking care of it behind closed doors. Pointless drama is the last thing they need right now.

Arsenal are cursed. But kick him out for this seems a bit ridiculous.

Zero sympathy for Aubameyang. He made his bed..

Auba will not play for Arsenal again! He has had a crap season so far and he isn't trying to improve! No one is bigger than the club!--Float him away to another club! He's finished!

Auba can't play football anymore, no idea what happened though. 🤷‍♀️

Next stop: SüperLig🥸

I like OneFootball, but it really pisses me off that it forces you to follow women's football.. what the hell?

Aubama who?

No sympathy for him in the slightest. This has been coming for months. He's been fucking shit since 2020 but its curiously always someone else's fault. It's the style of play, it's the lack of service, it's his confidence, at what point is he just not good enough? I fucking LOVED Aubameyang, but the guy was liking Ronaldo posts celebrating their win over us, he should've been stripped then and there. Also how is Arsenal responsible for Auba not doing do diligence and looking up guideline rules? It was HIM who wanted to go to France, how's that Arsenal's fault?

Auba is going to Barca after the official retirement of Aguero today.
