Gabriel Martinelli (11)

Kante is definitely trying to trip Martinelli, no?

Great goal but lol on the defender just collapsing at midfield.

Kid literally has it all, not to mention a burning hunger and desire that I hope doesn’t die out as he realizes how soul destroying it is to play for us these days.

Imagine having the 200+ football IQ to pretend taking a bad touch bringing one of the sport finest defensive midfielder into his knees.

Barça and Madrid already did that. Rodrygo, Vinicius, Yan Couto, Matheus Fernandes, Reinier, Arthur…Marcos Paulo and Lazaro Vinicius being rumoured…

Brazil, along with France, seems to be an absolute conveying belt of talent at the moment, after a brief lull.

Surely, he is starting when Auba returns…

Finding a quality striker is really really difficult in current days and to think this guy just fell to our laps.

Edu can fuck up rest of his time here but if this guy turns out like he is coming across, Edu has done his job

If Edu can tap into some more up and coming Latin American talent like this at a low cost he could certainly prove to be a great asset.

I agree Martinelli has been a really great find and has been a huge bright spot in an otherwise horrid season so far. Just hope he can stay injury free and keep going the way he’s started.

Anyone else have that dream of Martinelli in a nurses outfit looking after your wounds?

I want to say well done to @Maverick79 also, despite our often different opinions I remember he said Martinelli would have an instant impact after watching pre season games.

I think the club ought to start writing out a proper contract for young Martinelli now. Throw in all the clauses because it won’t be long now till the big boys come in for him.

And that’s not to be negative, clubs nowadays catch the faintest whiff of proper talent and they are on it, eg RM.

What a find this was! Love that goal and celebration from him :heart_eyes:

Yeah we need to get him fucking locked down ASAP.

This kid is going to be our ÂŁ150-ÂŁ200mm pay day in 2 or 3 seasons.

He has that x-factor for sure.

Barca will want him to replace Aubameyang

Yeah and then we have to make sure we make it fucking painful for them. They will need to make up for Fabregas.

They’ll want their own Mbappe after e goes to Madrid this summer.

2023 Mbappe vs Martinelli will be the new Ronaldo vs Messi El Classico.

Need to make sure we have a massive release clause in his contract - fed up of being bent over by other clubs !? 150 mill minimum !?
