Pre-Chelsea game
Injury update from Arteta: - Trossard to have another test today, but injury ādoesnāt look muchā - Gabriel Jesus played in a friendly yesterday and it was āvery positiveā - Will decide tomorrow if Gyokeres and Havertz can play on Sunday

I swear he has played for us less than 5 times this calendar year?
He genuinely will feel like a new signing

Arteta is in a whole different time reality.
Who knows, the next time Havertz could be years aways, seconds, centuries, minutesā¦
The concept of timeā¦ Do we really understand it?
This is what it means to be managed by Arteta.

One striker that can exploit open spaces like this but can actually finish, thatās all I ask for.
Said the other day heās probably the player we miss the least given Gyokeres and Jesus are back. Was definitely wrong.

Terrible finisher. Will be great to have back but heās not the saviour.

No guarantee he will be the same player either when he returns.

Nearly out for half the season. They communicated the surgery wasnāt gonna keep him out for a very long time. Was false.
Heās genuinely missed a whole year what the fuck did he do in that sub appearance vs Utd

Whatever your thoughts on his finishing ability, āserviceā isnāt a problem when heās in the team.
Thatās why Iām worried about Gyokeres, he doesnāt even get the chances to miss, nor create his own.
I would never have guessed. Perhaps more of your posts should be on this subject.

Heās the biggest issue in the team. Some players are off form but are proven at the top level.
This guy has won the lottery to play for a club as big as Arsenal. Should be chasing punts for Dyche at Forest.
I had no idea you felt that way.
Out of curiosity @TheArsenal, what is your opinion on other choices up top?
So Jesus, Havertz and Merino. Also, how does Nketiah compare to Gyokeres? 
Iād rather have Merino and Havertz, think Arteta would too.
This is not my point tho. Gyokeres was signed as the goalscorer, the missing piece, an upgrade on what we had and is now being treated like Havertz lite.
They are all ordinary.
I think Merino has become the best option in terms of how he fits with the rest of the team, even though heās not the best player or the best striker, which is still Havertz in my opinion.

If Havertz could actually finish, heād be elite/world class cause his positioning is arguably the best Iāve seen from an Arsenal striker in years.

This was why Arteta was so annoyed with the constant questions about signing a striker the past two or so years, because he knew the market was so scarce. Gyokores still has more goals this season than Isak who everyone wouldāve killed for and Sesko who was viewed as the other option, so itās not as if any of the players we wouldāve signed instead of him this past summer have been bagging bucket loads of goals either.
Gyok is limited for sure, but thereās a reason Arteta wasnāt so focused on the need to sign an out and out striker as many of the supporters were screaming for. He wants a Havertz/Merino type in that position, itās just how he seeās it.
