Indeed, guy is a fucking idiot.
If we can offload Lacazette in the summer, it should give Martinelli more of a chance to nail down that LW position.
Iād love it if we had Martinelli / Auba / Saka as our established front three next year.
So itās pretty clear Arteta wants nothing to do with this lad.
Sell him in the summer?
Knee injuries on youngsters can be bad, I hope heās just being patient with him because he has been given some minutes but then got a calf and ankle injury which put him out for a couple of weeks.
Yeah Iām probably just being reactionary, hopefully this is the case but youād think he would at least get some sub apps
You really love hyperbole lol.
I feel heās being groomed to be Aubaās long term replacement
Haha now this is true
However, I donāt see how heās been groomed to be Aubameyangās replacement when he literally never gets any minutes
Just hard to get into the side atm
He also doesnāt get enough goals to be Aubameyang replacement.
Must be disappointing in training I guess?
Trust the process. Weāre just easing him back from an injury he came back from 3 months ago.
Doubt it. He just doesnāt fit what Arteta wants from the side at the moment. Side is set up to maximize the chances Auba receives in the box which is fair. Laca is also currently suffering because of it.
Theyāre gonna get games soon though. Very likely he starts featuring more in the league once we start focusing on EL.
I think I want Keown to be our new manager.
More Arsenal DNA than Arteta by a landslide. We wouldnāt be fucking about with the ball near to goal and the defense would be set up to defend
A cameo here and there wouldnāt go amiss though!
Yeah, I was being sarcastic really.
Doesnāt seem like Arteta likes him which of course means heās most likely destined to be a world beater.
Should be getting more minutes than he is thatās for sure. His future is through the middle from what Iāve seen and his attributes support that but letting him stagnate is just a damn shame.
We have had a really clean injury run lately in the CF and wing positions. Itās frustrating for him but an injury or two and heāll be called upon. Next season, if Laca moves on, he will be 2nd choice CF and will have a better path to minutes.
Why not do it when we know Laca has no future with us?
We are pissing away good development phase for the lad.
