Emile Smith-Rowe (Out: Pure Profit)

[drippin]

Let's be honest here, Trossard killed ESR's Arsenal career. They're similar players but Trossard is reliably fitter and ahead in his development. But the optics of ESR being sold the same summer we buy Havertz is not a good look at all. It puts more pressure on Havertz to succeed.

ESR is injury-prone, Havertz isn't.

ESR has played LW, might be able to play AMF, but who knows. Havertz plays AMF & false 9.

Shouldn't really be compared, and Arsenal already has Martinelli, Trossard and Nelson who can play LW, and are better at dribbling.

Much rather get 35+ million pounds for ESR, and keep Nelson for free.

He doesn't have the engine to play here or for Pochettino. He still shouldn't be sold to Chelsea although for pure comedy, a swap for Mudryk would be hilarious if Areta got something out of him and it only cost him a player he didn't want rather than all that money Chelsea spent.

 

[Gn1212]

Discipline issues for Mudryk, huh?

Damn.

 

[Thrice]

Selling ESR to Chelsea would be horrible. I don't want to have to root for him to fail. And if he performs and takes the next step then it makes us look like complete idiots and makes Chelsea stronger in the process...

 

[Black Noir]

Will stay for this window at least . No point going from one bench to another bench at the moment.

 

[Macho]

If we wanted him as our main winger I’d agree. But I really like the idea for wing backup.

He's not good enough for back up he needs to leave the country and learn football, I'm being serious.

Think that’s really harsh. But let’s see what goes on, don’t reckon the club take him regardless. He burnt bridges with Edu and Arteta and we all know what happens when you do that.

 

[Tom Mix]

Another casualty of the bungled Havertz transfer.

Slowly chipping away at the soul of Arsenal.

Biggest waste of the number 10 shirt since Gallas. Dreadful stuff.

 

[El Duderino]

Don’t care if it’s rubbish.

We NEED that Mudryk sauce.

The sauce where he films himself taking a shower?

 

[Tnegs]

I reckon man saved Tetas job when he came in as AM and transformed the team. Wonder how he feels about that now.

 

[MikelHadADream]

Wonder if Arteta’s saviour complex kicks in here…

 

[Batman]

Biggest waste of the number 10 shirt since Gallas. Dreadful stuff.

And still not as bad as Nketiah wearing 14, a literal crime in progress.

 

[AberGooner]

If Smith-Rowe isn't going to be playing here then sell him. No need to dig Chelsea out of a hole again with Mudryk. How many favours do we want to keep doing for them?

 

[Gooner Zig]

Selling him now while his value is low is just poor management. Loan him to a PL team - half the PL would kill to have a talent like ESR in their squad. Let him play, build up his confidence and if he's not in Arteta's plans when his loan is complete we can sell him with recent exposure which will maximize his selling value.

[Yousif Arsenal]

Not surprising we won't be selling him. specially not to chelsea lol.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Mokbel say Chelsea could still comeback with them offering a player to get ESR.

Todd want PL to turn into serie A we really need to stop deal with chelsea kinda weird behavior

 

[Mudi]

He doesn't have the engine to play here or for Pochettino. He still shouldn't be sold to Chelsea although for pure comedy, a swap for Mudryk would be hilarious if Areta got something out of him and it only cost him a player he didn't want rather than all that money Chelsea spent.

This is the thing.

A failed Mydruk is still worth £40m while ESR current value is £40m.
You basically have a free option. Should you take the risk? The only problem would be his contract.

Also looking at the squad, we do lack a wide forward and a clear number 8 while we are okay on the number 10.

 

[LookingForEric]

Above market value offer gets him according to Mokbel and Chelsea will get desperate.
