Well heās certainly had more of an impact this season lol
SHOCKER ! PLAYER PRAISES HIS TEAMMATE !
He also compared Grealish to Messi, so
I agree.
This season Aubameyang has been average and under Arteta he has gradually become less effective.
But Grealish is proven quality in the PL and is better than any of our attacking players although, with the options we have, that isnāt difficult.
But we wonāt get him for several reasons.
Why would he leave Aston Villa?
If he did leave why would he choose us?
We wouldnāt pay what it would take to get him.
Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City etc, are far more attractive.
Arteta must be a turn off for any decent player.
The only thing that he might find attractive about our club is that we have young England players like ESR and Saka but I canāt see the lure of Lacazette, Willian or Pepe tempting him.
Grealish and Watkins are exactly what we need but we arenāt getting either of them.
If only Auba could play as a striker then both could work in the same team.
Why would Watkins be what we need when we have Aubameyang?? Unless Iām missing something theyāre not even in the same stratosphere of quality of player. And I like Watkins.
If we win the EL, I fully expect the club to waste a whole fucking window fighting with Villa to budge on that Ā£100m fee for Grealish.
Frustrating because we could have signed him for a lot cheaper (less than even Xhaka/Mustafi) when he was at āpuntā level playing with Villa in the lower divisions.
Doubly frustrating because they conned us when they bought Martinez and theyāll most likely take us to the cleaners if we pursue Grealish.
Iāve kinda lost a lot of love with Arsenal in the last 5 years (corona hasnāt helped) but a big domestic signing might be enough to get me interested again.
Meh. Heās developed into the player he has mostly because he stuck with Villa and got to be thier main man season after season. I donāt think heād be half the player he is now if heād left at 21/22. I also have long suspected he will be a little bit shite or at least not perform at the same level whenever he does leave them.
I think thatās reasonable.
I believe he will eventually do well wherever he goes but I doubt he will ever live up to the hype or the price.
Whenever he goes itās gonna be for a massive fee. Media are gonna be on him 24/7. Huge pressure.
Pretty sure the only thing my two degrees ever actually taught my was how to read things quickly so I could get to the pub
Saka pull is different.
Auba
Grealish ESR Saka
Partey Odegaard
God damn needed.
Whatās the likelihood of Pepe getting sold?
A better question would probably be, do we think Arteta considers Pepe in his long term plans?
Iād keep him tbh.
I think heās a player who even if heās not starting he will still rack up a good amount of goals and assists.
Big opportunity for Jack to mark his name in the history books. Could just stay and win the PL title for his boyhood club.
Probably wonāt happen though.
Nice comp
I just donāt want to sign him. Has expensive flop written all over him. At Arsenal anyway.
