Ethan Nwaneri (22)

Yeah, Chelsea style. A 35 year old contract at least. Gotta protect his value.

How come you’ve transitioned to an Arsenal fan?

his sado masochist side

I don’t really consider myself an Arsenal fan, still have a club membership at Chelsea.

Not gonna lie, I’m not sure if you’re trolling me or not. :rofl:

I was under the impression that it was well-known on here that I’m a Chelsea fan. I don’t live in London so liking more than one team is a bit less crazy.

In which case…

Fabio Vieira: 49 games (Arsenal career), 3 goals
Martin Ƙdegaard: Last 37 games, 4 goals
Ethan Nwaneri: 11 games, 4 goals

Also, it’s much to early to say, but I’ll say it anyway. Nwaneri has looked better when there’s a right footed winger outside of him to stretch the pitch.

He does have a goal in him, but I wouldn’t expect him to be a big goalscorer still, most of those goals came in the league cup games against lower league opposition… Doesn’t have to mean he’ll have that ability on top level, he’s also still so young he could go in a different direction with his developement.

Even when you look at Ode, he scored mad 15 league goals from open play 2 years ago… Those are good striker numbers. I was super surpsised because I never saw him as a huge goalscorer and I’m pretty happy he went in other direction in the last year or so - improving massively a playmaker, as guy who makes stuff happen, but isn’t scoring that much these days.

I expect similar stuff from Nwaneri going forward, the goals would just be a bonus to me. He has way too much technical talent to focus on goal output much.

The fact that he has goals in him is special. It’s not something you can really teach so if he can continue that into his senior career will make him worth his weight in gold.

So it is his brother

He should start against West Ham :grinning:

we should have our starting 11 to play more.
decide the game in first half, then play Ethan and others in second half.

We need that smooth attacking football back.

Next big thing

Dude is Albanian. He’s already been called up to the Swiss national team.

Jus sayin.

Today is one of those games where I was told he’d be able to impact positively and he came on and did nothing of note.

Player has a big future but he’s so far from being the answer right now. He definitely needs to continue being bled very slowly and I’d even rather him not play too much right now given the microscope on the form of the team.

Exactly. He has huge potential but we shouldn’t expect too much from him. Anything he is able to contribute this season is a bonus IMO.
