Arteta In by November
Country: USA
Player:Ødegaard
he is literally doing nothing these days when he comes on. Mentally checked out I guess. Sad to see him like this.
Done more in that vid then his entire career.My boy ready for the Championship.
I told this few days back... But looked completely opposite today. Great cameo. Very good assist for pepe. Keep at it with the super sub performances Eddie!he is literally doing nothing these days when he comes on. Mentally checked out I guess. Sad to see him like this.
Yeah or Hutchinson both are currently better even if younger.We need to rest Laca and this guy comes on to foul. He's checked out and whilst I dint expect him to risk injury, he's useless. We might as well give Biereth the minutes for the good this guy does. Another Chelsea reject hindering us.
Yeah, I've defended Nketiah in the past because he has goal instinct, which few players have nowadays, but he's making an absolute mockery out of himself nowadays. At this point I would definitely look at the U23's to replace him. Should've just sold him for a few quid last winter (I was in favour of selling him in summer, but one of the flaws of Arteta is that he's a total hoarder afraid to let anyone go).We need to rest Laca and this guy comes on to foul.

In the last window he definitely wasn't a hoarder, but got rid of even Chambers for peanuts.Should've just sold him for a few quid last winter (I was in favour of selling him in summer, but one of the flaws of Arteta is that he's a total hoarder afraid to let anyone go).
Think it's OK to take a risk sometimes, it's not gonna work out with every player and some develop later than expected. For example, ESR had a lot of issues with injuries but we didn't rush selling him for a few quid and it was the correct decision to keep him. What I'm saying, impossible to say who will make it but the club is doing amazing atm with the academy and the value of Saka and ESR is likely over 100M so we can allow few mistakesYeah, I've defended Nketiah in the past because he has goal instinct, which few players have nowadays, but he's making an absolute mockery out of himself nowadays.

From the top of my head he was afraid to let Nketiah, Chambers, Maitland-Niles and Elneny go in the summer despite them playing small parts in the squad, but I might be mistaken. Could also have been our incompetent leadership department failing to sell these players.In the last window he definitely wasn't a hoarder, but got rid of even Chambers for peanuts.
Isn't it quite understandable that if he gets rid of Auba, he can't get rid of Nketiah to have enough depth in striker (or attacking) department?
He has got rid of huge amount of players in recent years, so I can't quite understand how this kind of stuff is said here. Covid also has to be considered when judging because it's harder to sell players.
I think they said they wanted to trim the squad, but it was pretty obvious how hard it was due to covid. Besides, Wenger said years ago that many players will leave for free in the future, which has happened and will happen even more.From the top of my head he was afraid to let Nketiah, Chambers, Maitland-Niles and Elneny go in the summer despite them playing small parts in the squad, but I might be mistaken.

I would've let Nketiah go if there was any fee in winter and just go with a striker from the U23's. When a player who barely plays a role in the squad is walking out of the club for free in a few months, I would try very hard not to give that guy minutes and would rather let another player develop in those minutes.
Could've also accepted he was going and tried all winter to get a replacement for Eddie, but don't know if they tried and failed or did not try.
