Always wanted us to play Pennant more back in the day, especially after his loan with Leeds...turned into a bit of a k**b though.
the double signings of Reyes and RVP in 2004 closed the door on his Arsenal career. We would have been a useful squad player but we had too much quality on the flanks.
Pires, Ljungberg, Reyes, RVP. Pennant didn’t stand a chance.
Slightly controversial but David Bentley was one I regretted not making it here. I thought he was Bergkamp's natural heir before he showed his true colours.Oh yeah, Van Persie and Reyes killed his career here bascially as both were easily better players...but after his hatty against Southampton, and in the first half of 03-04 we only had Pires, Ljungberg and Wiltord who could play wide to a high level and all were over 25...Pennant was doing well for Leeds too, scored a wonder goal against Chelsea if I recall, thought he could have been our winger in the future...always did well for me on Champ Manager too, so had a soft spot for him!

He was actually hailed as the next Liam Brady at his breakthrough. High praise but bad career choices saw him retire at 29!Slightly controversial but David Bentley was one I regretted not making it here. I thought he was Bergkamp's natural heir before he showed his true colours.

More like Martinelli is playing well in spite of Emery.We got lucky & struck gold with this one, unlike most of our transfers in recent years
Willock as well can become top drawer. Maybe Matteo too.He needs to be given a proper run. The only guy we have at the club who has the potential to be Elite. If we play him more regularly the quicker he get to that level.
We actually have a decent squad and I really do believe that with a couple of additions and a couple of sells we could have a fantastic team for years to come. Martinelli is the talisman in that team.
His highlight reel is insane even now, scored more goals with his head than Aubameyang despite being fairly slight. No adjustment period needed apparently. The complete striker.
we may not have him forever but at least we have him, enjoy as the sky is the limit for this kid
Agreed, think Doozy is slightly ahead of Willock in terms of development but both are in the bracket below Martinelli which is not a slight on either of them as I believe both can go on to become fantastic players for us. My only worry is whether Doozy and Willock are compatible in a starting 11 but then i suppose that’s why its so important to have a decent squad.Willock as well can become top drawer. Maybe Matteo too.
