Gabriel Martinelli (11)

The brightest hope we’ve had in years. Have to build a proper team for him as soon as possible.
He like most players now won’t stick around when there’s bigger and better. Match his ambition or it’s a 17 year old Rooney scenario playing out.

Nah the praise has gone fully OTT but the pace and finishing ability is proving highly effective. Raw talent’s there.

He’s basically the one good thing about this season, we’ve got to find our excitement somewhere cos watching Arsenal has been fucking depressing and given us little to smile about.

I hear ya… ran down the hallway in celebration like the rest of you. Easy to love this kid when he’s working this hard outside of his natural position and hardly being phased by anything.

It’s gonna take a lot more before the rest becomes warranted though. Feel like Saka is making a case for a good level of promise too.

Would love it if all celebrations are fans and players mimicking each other, granted it was a coincidence in this instance

aubas red came at a good time for this guy really

Champions of Europe in 2023 I like the sound of that!

He’s shit on FM. I’d tried to get him better but no case. Greenwood is Aguero and Martinelli is Andy Carroll in this patch. Hopefully the next patch makes him justice.

All I’m counting on in the league now is for Martinelli to get as many minutes as possible, so he can be a regular starter and have a breakthrough next season.

This weeks Arsecast was about this boy and they had a Brazilian ESPN journo/pundit on talking about some interesting facts about Martinelli.

Such a promising prospect. Haven’t been this interested in one of our youngsters since Wilshere’s performance vs Barca.

Let’s hope he becomes even half the player that our Jack Wiltshire was

On the Totally Football Show podcast there was a Brazilian football writer with some interesting snippets about Martinelli too. I’ve listened to both and can confirm that we have a future Ballon d’Or winner on our hands.

Real Madrid already lurking

Instead of a wage bump, clause the shit out of that contract!

Yeah slap a £150m release clause on it, give him a decent wage bump.

Being overly dramatic but I’d want it higher than that, who knows what sort of prices could be the norm in 4 to 5 years time.

Easily our most exciting teenager since Jacko. But what the heck was he doing in Brazil’s fourth tier until Arsenal came calling? And after four trials at OT, why did Man Utd reject him when he is easily better than Martial and Greenwood combined? What are they smoking up there?

150m might look like a bad deal in couple of years.
