So because this might be a flash in the pan it means the player most responsible to getting us to 80+ points is not difficult to replace?And my only point is that what he does today might be a flash in the pan. No guarantee he’ll play at this level for Arsenal again because this season is an outlier compared to the previous two.
If Arteta goes for a “hard button” as he said, he might want different things from his 6 in the next iteration of his team.So because this might be a flash in the pan it means the player most responsible to getting us to 80+ points is not difficult to replace?
Genuinely don't see how it's possible to come to a different understanding here? Leaving personal bias aside do you really think there are so many midfielders out there who could replicate his role and form this past season?
Would mean we have to set up very differently though, our structure is heavily based on him.If Arteta goes for a “hard button” as he said, he might want different things from his 6 in the next iteration of his team.
Martinelli was a project. Partey wasn't. For a player that cost as much with his experience I think it's fair to expect a more consistent return from Partey.Why mention that season when we're discussing who should come in the summer? You wouldn't mention Martinellis 21/22 season to say it's easy to find a better LW than him now would you?

Im missing all sorts today TBF. I've shown up to football one hour late. Not surprised I've missed the point
I think people are just going off when he is fit & in form. There are few better players when both these factors are in tandem. The trouble is, like you say, they haven't been in tandem nearly enough.People in here are really acting like a player who has put together maybe 45 good games across 3 seasons, is injury prone and might be playing in orange or khaki next season can't be improved upon.
Yeah agreed. When his best season here wasn't even 75% of the matches showing that top form and fitness, we have to be wary. He's not young either. Really can only go downhill from here for a myriad of reasons.I think people are just going off when he is fit & in form. There are few better players when both these factors are in tandem.

We need consistency.
Caicedo and Rice bids? Can't see it being true, but if it is and we have been working behind the scenes on Caicedo before we bid for Rice. That would be something.
Front fourHow would you see them lining up in the same team?
