from the press conference

on team news:
We had some issues this week - well, in the last few weeks - as you’ve noticed, some players were unable to play and to participate in the games, with Reiss. We have a little issue with Bukayo, which has been going on, and with Leo [Trossard]. The rest I think are going to be fine. Alex [Zinchenko] is still out. William is still out. Tomiyasu is still out. Elneny is still out. There are a few that are not available but the rest are all good.

 

[Vinci]

Not too excited by this, think it was best for all parties if he moved on.

 

[Trilly]

Lol, tbf Saka and Martinelli have like the most successful dribbles in the PL last time I checked.

Prime example of stats not being everything. Pepe used to have decent dribbling too tbf.

 

[MikeVinna]

I’m fine with the extension if Mikel actually uses him. Went back into the doghouse after scoring that winner. Has looked positive in every cameo this season. Can play both flanks probably better than Vieira/ESR.

Seems Saka/Martinelli/Trossard/Nelson as our wingers next season.

Beat that slag Romano to it.

Mokbel is undefeated when it comes to Hale End.

Saka has the best agent in the world. Man got 100k for nketiah and Nelson just because Arsenal are too lazy to sign someone else and use false economy it’s cheaper just to pay backup players who will rarely play crazy money

 

[Heavy Duty Rom]

Why are so many excited by this? Another move that will ultimately hold the club back imo.

 

[drippin]

Would people be happy if the club chooses to extend Nelson, and get someone like Simons who can play in the middle and wings? Is that enough with Trossard? Arsenal did score only 6 goals less than City last season, and that's some serious feat.

I mean this question in regards if Arsenal get Rice, and some other top midfielder like Caicedo. Or someone a bit cheaper.

Personally I see improving the midfield much more important. And it's not easy to get very good older players to compete with Saka, Martinelli and Trossard. They usually want more guarantees of game-time, which can affect the dressing room if that doesn't happen. And they are very expensive.

Not sure why we want to do this but fair enough.

Saves us money by letting us focus on going big on the midfield and defensive depth. In the summer of 2024 we can look to retool the attack if needed.

Need to see if we’re actually going to use funds for the areas you mention, other wise we’ve given a big contract to an injury prone player who hasn’t shown he’s a top 6 player.

I hope I’m wrong though as I’d like Reiss to really make an impact.

Why does he want to do it? For me, that is the question. We'll be happy to sign a competent backup with resale value, is that what he should want?

We extended nketiah the same way thinking we can focus on others. 12 months later no one here rates nketiah and most would say we could do with an actual striker

Yeah, buying a talent like Nelson will cost at least 20-30 million with no promises.

And he is already adjusted to everything, ready to explode if that ever happens truly. But the potential is there and some promising signs. He is also very versatile.

Also, a player who is best on the LW. The same as Martinelli, Trossard and ESR, all four of them are best playing off the left.

Most Hale End kids sign to this agency. Probably worth overpaying for a few to keep the real stars for longer. Club are obviously comfortable with the partnership.

Same agency has Balogun and they’ll sort a move out for him this summer.

All of them can play on the right. Trossard, ESR and Nelson can also play in the middle.

If they extend Nelson, I assume they have a plan for all of this. Like moving ESR or Trossard to the middle when needed or permanently.
