Bit of a red flag if he didn’t think he could oust Havertz from the lineup

Yeah agreed. I previously gave him credit because I thought he stayed strictly to further his development but if that was the real reason then that's concerning.

On the other hand, it could say more about what Mick wants than Sesko tbf. He loves the 'Shane Long' role Havertz plays.

I know people say well it's January you can't do anything. If we've got the money and the finances work then you drop big money on someone that'll make a difference.

I'm talking Leao, that level.

Leao should be one of the best players in the world, and could probably be an option up front as well, if he wasn't such a lazy bastard

Haven't been watching him this season but his numbers tell me he is not killing it in the Bundesliga yet.

Also does he really have that killer instinct we need? Gyokeres looks like he'd kill someone to get a goal, I'd prefer a striker like that at the moment

Or he knows the manager has a favourite and it’s not a fair fight. Havertz is Artetas project. He will do everything to make him work. But the beauty is Havertz will also be the end of him

Kinda need that mercurial talent tho! But I do agree

The problem with what you're saying here is that Fabio Vieira was his pet project from the prior season and Arteta bought Havertz with the intention of him playing the position he originally envisioned for Vieira. Arteta is certainly not shy about replacing someone he's bought. See Ramsdale, Aaron. Sesko could surely have observed that as well.

It’s also implying that Sesko somehow has a profound insight into the psychology of our manager but we’ll let that slide…

Yep..imagine getting scared for his position looking at Jesus and Havertz. Huge red flag!

He's on the bench nowadays to be fair, but under Mikel Leao is a complete waste of time which is a shame.

He could be an Arsenal fan and just well aware of Arteta's rotation policy.

If a young forward with a bit of buzz in a different league for some bizarre reason asked me if they should join Arsenal I'd honestly tell them hell no.

Your rep that took years to build could get muddied in months if you're not careful.

 

[MikelHadADream]

Sesko is very raw, but he’s 6”4, rapid and and can finish.

I’d bring him in but completely understand why he’d want to wait to the summer and assess his options.

It also means he's on the money with his assessment of things, because there was no chance he'd play over Havertz. He'd be a rotation player initially.

Isak/ The Gok and kudos with Eze and were gravy.

If you really think that Arteta would refuse to buy available striker (Isak, Sesko, Gyokeres, etc,) just because this new striker might replace Havertz from the squad, then you are really stupid.
It was reported that he wanted Isak even before we bought Havertz.

He's playing deeper this season with Openda further forward.

He'd be useful as a player that can play across the front 3.
