Not expecting world class things from the guy at all but if he can unpick the low-block against the smaller sides, I’d view that as a positive.
He will get schooled the Arteta way eventually but I expect him to keep some of that chaos (dribbling) and being a valuable tool to at least use. Helps unsettle that silt on the bottom of the river floor, so to speak.
We still need Eze but bringing in Noni, Eze and Gyokeres into the attack is a big improvement. With Jesus returning, I actually believe that we can hurt a team in various ways now.
Martinelli, Nwaneri, Madueke, Saka, Jesus and Trossard. I don’t see us adding Eze…
Besides us, who showed interest in Madueke? I could not recall any (or any serious club).
Our LW situation is far more important than the Saka backup (we have Nwaneri, and the unwanted Vieira), we could have wait till later to place a bid or could get a better deal if close to the end of window.
Unless he is going to be used as a LW also. Significant minutes as a LW.
That’s why we are so leisure on bidding Eze.
Can see Trossard leaving.
The chart looked credible. Until I saw Martinelli is in it too.
Yeah, its not clear to me whether its actually a chart of all the top players on this metric in order or just a bunch of notable players and they included Martinelli and Trossard to show the comparison.
It’s almost certainly sorted across all EPL players, which makes Martinelli the 16th best offensive contributor in the league. Yikes.
Nobody as usual. Just us. But hopefully Areta’s talent ID has significantly improved with regards to attackers and he becomes top drawer.
Unlikely though, based on track record.
I’d rather he is a hit than miss, as he is already our player.
Sad state of affairs when both of our LW options are ranked below Adama Traore 
Seems like the plan is for Noni to be deployed in LW? Hope he takes Martinelli’s spot in that case. He seems far more intelligent from the little I’ve seen from him.
Finally confirmation that he is the LW signing, interesting Arteta saw the need for a direct outside winger.
Looked basic but still loads more dangerous than Martinelli.
I think Madueke is excellent back up, but if the plan is for Arteta to have him as our first choice left winger (or Martinelli), I am seriously concerned.
You are seriously concerned regardless…
Well no, I’m in the minority who is actually excited by the Madueke signing. Him being our first choice winger takes away that excitement.
He’s going to look basic on the left. But I assume his main task is going to be to take players away from the centre on the pitch and put passes/crosses in front of the goal for Gyokeres to be at the end of. It probably makes the most sense with a striker like Gyokeres.
He’s a decent option, but not title winning quality. If he can still walk, our best option out there is probably Jesus.
