Eddie Nket14h: Answering The 📞 From England

[Maybe]

Frankly, I hope he starts the next few games. He can`t be worse than Auba has been in the past few games and Laca is not the striker for this system IMO. He definitely deserves a start based on what he has shown and what others have shown.

It would make sense to do it if he would stay, but he is also out soon so I would rather give minutes to Martinelli and Balogun.

Massive improvements from Nketiah this season though, he looks ready to start

Nketiah has been lively since pre-season. Has the fuel!

 

[Tir Na Nog]

I think he's done well recently but surely it's best for him and us to move on. There's plenty of clubs he'd start for and would be able to prove himself.

 

[SA Gunner]

I like his energy, and to be fair to him I think he'd do well in a properly coordinated pressing system.

But I do agree, time to move him on. Let Martinelli and Balogun remain, and send Nketiah, Laca and Auba packing.

If Eddie has any sense, he will ignore Arteta's attempts to keep him and go somewhere else. He has the ability to be dangerous, he'll be fine as long as he's in a team that creates chances. He's not gonna get the football he wants here unless Arteta plans to drop the senior lads ahead of him - which he's obviously reluctant to do. He has given Eddie chances before but often in systems featuring some of our ****test attacking combinations and at a time when he was lacking confidence. Now Eddie is showing more ability - missed sitter v Everton aside - and Arteta's chatting breeze about liking him but not giving him starts to prove it.

Actions speak louder than words and Arteta has shown that he ultimately doesn't have the patience to stick with Eddie as a potential first XI striker and most of the fans have also made up their minds about him. It's time to prove himself elsewhere. It'll be tough at first (see Willock) but eventually he'll succeed.

Eddie has gotten enough chances last 2 seasons which he failed to take any of it to hold his place. I remember highly anticipating and watching on some of those games he was thrown into first team only to see him firing blanks and getting sub off eventually. He is looking more to be another Chuba Akpom or Benik Afobe. Relegation or Championship team striker but not top level striker

Would definitely love to see him leave and succeed elsewhere like Gnarby though

He will explode wherever he goes. Mark this post.

The club has completely a mess. From the start it was obvious you cant keep nketiah, balugon and Martinelli. Rather than making clear football decisions and invest in few players. They want to extend everyone as an asset and put them on long term contracts with decent money. But if the players dont play their value decreases and in the end we will end up with young players being overpaid doing nothing and they wont be easy to shift because smaller clubs pay their top players the wages we pay our prospects

 

[El Duderino]

Get out while you can Joel!

 

[boonthegoon]

Unbelievable poacher!!

 

[AberGooner]

Whether it's here or elsewhere I hope Eddie has a great career. Such a likeable kid, got that goalscoring instinct that very few have.

Needs to leave, he’s not what Arteta is looking for and it’s really what’s best for his career.

Would be a shame if he renewed.

 

[El Duderino]

Good to hear he’s made his mind up!

 

[boonthegoon]

Think we need him at least till end of this season given the auba situation.

He's actually one I genuinely think Arteta rates tbf but yeah I don't think he's going to get enough games here.

 

[AberGooner]

 

[GDeep™]

He’s already got a club or two I think. He needs to get away from Arsenal. With us signing new strikers this guy has no chance under Mik.

 

[El Duderino]

Nah, starts speaks louder than words. If Arteta rates you he starts you.

Not like Auba and Laca were on amazing form.

 

[Sniper Mik]

Pleased for him with the hattrick. Also great night for us, will drive his price up by a fair bit
