i think gabi is still in plans of Arteta even if we buy a LW
Iāve never felt that Arteta was a fan of Martinelli - especially in the early days. Think if the opportunity arises, heād move him on without much thought.

Heās not gonna want to go there anyway so its irrelevant.

If this lets us get Rodrygo, Eze and Madueke we have to get it done
Do a year out there and then get a move back to Europe like many of them seem to be doing
Heās worth more than 73m. Elanga is going for 55m ffs
Just donāt think heāll be interested in it.
You say that as if Martinelli is better than Elanga
Better? No. Miles better - yes!
Sell the guy! Finally some proper money for our lot.
If these links are real, then we definitely need to sign 3 attackers.
Would prefer Trossard left instead but Ā£70-80 for Martinelli is good!!

Fuck knows what Arteta sees in him, but he certainly doesnāt contribute to the value of a Ā£73m player.

If we do sell Martinelli for around 70m, letās hope Arteta doesnāt waste it on yet another Chelsea reject like Madueke, which is what he did the last time he spent that amount, when we signed Havertz.
His obsession with GKās and Chelsea rejects is becoming ridiculous.
Someone needs to tell Arteta that weāve been desperate for attacking quality for several seasons and that GKās donāt score many goals and that players from other clubs, other than Chelsea, are also available.
Heās not obsessed with keepers. Heās signed two first team keepers in his tenure, both of whom were an upgrade on what we already had, and then a series of backups for nominal fees. I donāt give a shit if we have a rotating cast of back ups keepers, nobody should, it doesnāt impact any of our other business and has a negligible effect on onfield matters because they so rarely play.

We know that Berta uses the press more to put out links to players as part of a negotiation strategy so we need to get used to this. Unlike Eze and Rodrygo, the Madueke link doesnāt appear that concrete atm.
For that sort of money, we should really consider it, but I doubt Gabi will want to go, especially since itās a World Cup year. But then if we are looking to bring someone to play ahead of him, then his chances of making the Brazil squad will diminish anyway.
In an ideal world, if we get someone to start ahead of Martinelli, that might just bring out the best in him but thatās probably me clinging on to hope more than anything.

Is this another way of saying Martinelli rejected them?
