Emile Smith-Rowe (Out)

[Rasmi]

No way we letting this player go.

This player is electric between the lines, being able to create so much space and chaos with his movement and ball carrying. His ability to speed up the game in the final third is a top quality difference to the way we play now.

Its exactly what Maddison is doing at Sp**s, that Smith Rowe has done at Arsenal.

The challenge here is for Mikel to get him more involved in our different game states, because we need his qualities at times.

Smith Rowe, along with Nelson, Vieira, TP5, Trossard, Martinelli, Nketiah are our vertical players, who take us from patient to chaotic and incisive, in an instant. And that's why Eddie Howe wants Smith Rowe, because he knows the damage he causes at pace.

That 50m is probably the least amount we should consider letting him go for, and I'd still be upset if we did that.

We have too many midfielders. Guy has played 9 mins in the league with 8 being Bournemouth when the game was completely done and one min vs Sp**s to sub injured saka. Couldn’t even get mins without Martinelli and Saka. Even Reiss Nelson is coming on before him. Guy has no future here and the more he toys there the less he will be worth

Guy has no future according to who?

Going by the playing time... Arteta

Would hate for him to leave. But currently his playing time is almost non existent. He wears the number 10 on his back not sure why Arteta doesn't trust him anymore.
Havertz/Viera/ESR all three deserve a good run of games at the LCM spot.
Havertz partly got his shot. Now probably Viera will get some chances.
And the thing is if everyone is fit most likely Rice play there over all 3 of them.

And that's with Martinelli and Trossard being injured and Havertz being a bit ****. He has no future here with Arteta around, unless that future is never playing.

Have you not noticed how far he has fallen? You know when young players don’t get minutes they have to move? 2 years ago he got England call up and even scored. Now he is so far down the pecking order for his club he is wasting his time. Just move and play regular. He is so insignificant that he wouldn’t even need replacement

 

[Riou]

As long as it's an obligation to buy and the fee is good, then I would let him go to be honest.

Good player that I like, but one that looks finished here...and we need to be selling these squad types at the right time instead of just letting them stay for years and leaving for nothing.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Better than Ødegaard imo but Arteta has his favorites.

 

[Sanchez11]

I like the kid but my opinion dont count, its upto the dictator. If he stays fit, he could be good elsewhere. He looks better to me this season shame Tets dont see it.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

If he goes to Newcastle and joins Willock, both are still the type of player we need. Willock is made for the left 8 position and ESR could claim LWF albeit behind Nelli.

 

[Little Chilli]

He is a better footballer than Joe. But this guy fitness is a joke.

Not good enough for Arteta; Havertz & Willian clear of them

Sorry I couldn't help it.

That's like saying you'd take Gunnlaugsson over Finnbogadottir, you wouldn't would you?

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

If you talking about Bryndís Gunnlaugsdóttir then hell yeah!

 

[GoonerJeeves]

If you talking about Bryndís Gunnlaugsdóttir then hell yeah!

Not sure that is what Sigmundr David would have ended up with if he had gone from -sson to -dottir, never know though!

Willock is bang average & will get moved on when Newcastle actually start challenging

 

[Tir Na Nog]

I trust Howe more than Arteta on players.

Emile might end up being another Willock.

 

[Macho]

Willock is bang average

So what is Havertz? You said Gallagher was steady and dependable or something as well.

This isn't adding up.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Willock is bang average & will get moved on when Newcastle actually start challenging

You're probably right

 

[Riou]

Willock is better than ESR I feel, and at the very least more useful as a player.

Really wish we kept Joe.

 

[Macho]

I actually cannot believe we had a whole Willock, sold him for 25 and bought Havertz btw what in the actual f*ck are we doing here?
