Merino and Williams secure us the title.
Who will stop us now
got this sudden urge to watch Martinelli play more and more and figure out his problem
Eddie turned down Nottingham Forest https://x.com/David_Ornstein/status/1827759453149569299
Sigh. If the issue is wages then we’re going to have to subsidize, no one outside of the top half of the table will pay 100k a week and also give us 30M
Nah fuck it if he doesn’t want to cut wages he can stay, we need another attacker anyway.
But it won’t make a difference if Mikel doesn’t trust/play him… he just becomes another asset amortized to 0. An academy asset, even.
His value would arguable decrease as well
I mean, he started the start of last season quite a bit. It’s Nketiah we’re talking about here — possibly the only player Arteta is biased towards more is Vieira lol
I think it’s fair to say that Eddie only started until Jesus got his fitness back; Jesus was covering for Martinelli (injured?) for a while, and as soon as we had a better option at striker he sat out for the most part. I can’t actually tell how Arteta actually feels about Vieira, and that’s probably a good thing, since it seems to be a training issue.
For Vieira, it’s a moot point since he’s gone on loan, but the fact that Arteta trusts Nwaneri to come in over him is pretty damning (despite how much of a beast he looks to be). For Eddie, my opinion is purely financial - his value peaked before last season and with Havertz cemented at 9, it’s only decreasing from now.
If Mikel is good on his word that everyone has to fight for their spot, Trossard should start the next game. I would bring Martinelli back for Spuds tho, he hates those guys.
