Serge Gnabry (Out)

[Coolin]

Unless he wants out, I'll be disgusted if we sell him. He has more ability than Iwobi and he's better than Chamberlain.

 

[tap-in]

It's either close to Euro 10m now or next to nothing next summer. If he wants off now, he will get it just by refusing a new contract with us.

 

[NieThePiet]

The fee is clear under 10 or 8Mio. We will buy him on a permanent deal.
Our record transfer was Marko Marin with 8,2Mio € - so we will surely not buy a player/talent, who will cost more than that.

Dind't hear about a buyback clause so far, but could be an option i think - low fee, but a buyback clause instead. Could live with that.

hope he will do well for you guys.

So we send Campbell out on loan again and looking to loan/sell Gnabry yet Ox and Theo get more game time in an Arsenal shirt to stink it up?

Amazing management.

 

[novarek]

When he sees the calibre of a senior winger developed at Arsenal in TW14, can you blame him for leaving?

From the Mirror:

Wenger is keen to keep hold of Gnabry but the player fancies the move and a fresh start.

Wenger wants to give him a new deal as well. Gnabry was an afterthought on here before he scored a hat-trick against some farmers from Fiji, now it's the end of the world that he's leaving.

 

[A_G]

Dreadful shots.

?

I know people on here have rated Serge for years, but not many considered him a real first-team option. Yet for some reason him leaving is some catastrophe.

 

[NieThePiet]

Thanks - Özil, Merte, Gnabry, thanks god im Arsenal & Werder Fan

http://www.kicker.de/news/fussball/...l_baumanns-coup_wir-wollen-gnabry-kaufen.html

Werder dürfte mehr zahlen, um schließlich Zuschlag zu erhalten. "Absolut im Rahmen", sagt Baumann über die Höhe der Transferentschädigung, die laut Quellen in Bremen bei fünf Millionen Euro liegen soll.

Now it's 5 million according to Kicker. And even this may not be the true, only speculation.

 

[Garrincha]

Its the timing for me.

At 21 & in really good form it should be his sink or swim season. Annoying to develop the guy then sell... Half a season or even a run of five games at least eliminates some of the 'what ifs'. If we had a star opposite Alexis its another story.

 

[novarek]

Remember when we thought the guy would get the Campbell minutes? :/

It's like if Coman was to leave for Barcelona from Bayern. Pulisic for Liverpool. Rashford for wherever. Yes, they aren't established players yet, but they have shown that they have the tools it takes to become great down the line. You don't just lose players like that, especially when our wing options are not particularly impressive in the first place. We can't please everyone, but it has to be worked around. Get rid of senior players who aren't capable. Use loans as a tool.

If Chamberlain, Walcott, and Iwobi were undeniably great players then yes, Gnabry must make way. But he actually has an honest shot at breaking into the team, so we might as well go for it and make use of his talents. He may not be a first-teamer, but he doesn't have to be for him to have value.

I'm sorry but when has gnabry shown he can be great?

I can't point you to any major moments, he just hasn't gotten there yet. He performed well in general when he came onto the scene for the first team two years ago, late last season for the U-21s upon his return from injury and lack of fitness, and in the Olympics just now. You watch him, and you can see that not only is he athletically good (pace, strength, etc.), he's capable of utilizing it with good decisions, ball-play, and finishing.

If you haven't watched him, just the massive interest from clubs at the moment should give you a clue. Schalke saying everyone bar the very, very top wanting to sign him is good praise. It's not outrageous by any means to think Gnabry could turn out to be some player in the future.

It looks like Gnabry is pushing for a move while Wenger wants him to stay.

When Iwobi, Ramsey and Giroud returns to the team plus with the addition of Perez, Chamberlain is not going to make it on our bench. He probably needs to go out on loan too.

I'm getting that feel too. Wenger isn't blameless though, Serge didn't just wake up and decide he wants a new challenge. Sending him to West Brom when he clearly wasn't match fit, or the club didn't suit his style was a very bad call. It delayed his development for several months, during a period where we had so many injuries he actually could have broken through fairly easily. Now during the summer, Wenger is persisting with players that have been given far more chances than Gnabry without delivering as expected, so of course he's getting annoyed and thinking he's not being given the opportunity to further his career.

What is needed right now is the presentation of a plan to him. Make it clear that he's part of the future, that players who don't perform are going to be on the way out next summer and if he plays well on loan, he'll be given one of their spots. Özil and Per need to make him feel like there is something to pursue here. It seems to me like Gnabry thinks he won't be getting past the many other competitors, possibly unjustly, and there needs to be a light at the end of this tunnel.

Is this picture legit?

Is this picture legit?

I don't think so, his hair was recently dyed brighter on the top. Lighting on his face looks indoor-like too.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Yes looks fake.
