You will probably have seen now that Arsenal is getting closer to Noni Madueke, and that their fans are not satisfied.
The Gunners are close to an agreement with Chelsea above the international in England, according to athletics and others, and there have been more than a few eyebrows raised about the agreement.
Not only is Madueke not really a player in a position that Arsenal needs, but he also seems very expensive for a player who was not really good for Chelsea at any time.
This led to a petition “ No to Madueke ” launched by arsenal fans, which reached 2,000 signatures yesterday and now has more than 4,000 at the time of the writing of the present.
Meanwhile, see below as the Sam Dean of the Telegraph sums up the strong reaction he saw in Madueke’s news, saying that he has never seen anything like it …
On this situation of Madueke and the strength of the online reaction of arsenal fans … Can anyone remember a similar response from the supporters (online or other) to a potential transfer of big money? From the top of my head, I don’t remember seeing something like it.

Is everything a bit exaggerated? After all, Madueke is only 23 years old and seems to be in him to be a decent squad player for Arsenal, last season proving a hard lesson that the club was missing in the attack after being too dependent on Bukayo Saka in particular.

“But the Gunners should give him a chance – he is more and more productive in front of the goal, and in a well structured side like Arsenal, it is easy to see him improve even more and to iron the weaknesses that remain in his game.
“There are almost as many Chelsea fans frustrated by the sale that arsenal fans who are against moving. Many blues feel that they have suffered two and a half years of development of the winger in England; to sell it now, just as he is about to move on to a new level.

At the time of writing this document, more than 1,000 fans voted, with 46% saying that Madueke could be a good signature for Arsenal, while 40. %% voted no, the 13.5% remaining undecided.
Perhaps it suggests that the Gooners vocal crowd that sets up petitions is not necessarily the most representative, even if they attract a lot of attention.
