@VictoryOwai Why don't we just clone rice and make him play the double pivot then smh. Rice is literally right there.
These zubimendi agendas stink. The guy was class for us till he burnt out in the second half of the season. Hincapie should be doing better stopping estevao cutting in.
Berta and his spinning plates isn't good when you at the top.
To win the UCL and sustain prem dominance, you don't have multiple options to strengthen. You have the main option and you make sure it comes off.
Arteta and Arsenal players/fans massively let down.
@toytweets_@OfIjeoma Wb his decline in 23/24 when the team scored the most goals arsenal have done in a league season?
Reality is, he had one quality season (22/23). That's an outlier.
His average has been 6-8 goals a season in the league with 3-4 assists.
@____iffs@ltarsenal Don't romanticise someone who has been nothing more than a solid squad player for the most part. 21/22 and 22/23 he was a starter with 22/23 being his good season.
A good servant. Did his job. But club legend? No. You have to play a more prominent part in the success for that.
@____iffs@ltarsenal Brady was one of the best in the world whilst at arsenal, top 10 balon d'or.
Martinelli was a decent squad player bar one season including when we won the league. Trossard was ahead of him.
There are levels to this and the fact you question Bradys status at the club is crazy.
@____iffs@ltarsenal Brady won PFA poty.
He won arsenal poty for 3 years.
He came through our academy.
He was one of the best players on the team if not the best.
Martinelli had one season where he was performing at a level where he was considered one of the best in the team.
@MACarrollCFC@samuelluckhurst Because his agent is his Mum. He's an Arsenal fan. Ian Wright is close with him and his family and even he's made it clear these rumours haven't been put out by his camp and he's happy at Arsenal.
Arsenal have denied a sale, Arteta has, MLS camp have.
@_Ventfull_ Tonalis agents offered him to arsenal to get him. Nothing more than that.
No one knew about Bruno g till Ornstein broke the news. No one new about Vini till Ornstein broke the news and apparently arsenal were working on that for months.
No one knows what the priorities are.
@TomCantonMedia@now_arsenaI That's your opinion fair enough.
But it's understandable why Arteta would pick Ethan ahead of him on the subs bench.
Questioning the bench like wrighty did undermines the players that were picked there.
@n5tactico@Raw__lings I'm sorry but through the whole vini saga you think him and his reps didn't know the situation?
Get out of here with the whole he doesn't know what's going on. He does, he just doesn't want to accept it or is holding out for a move that will never come to a big European club.
@ArtetaEra Martinelli isn't a club legend.
Can we stop throwing that label around to anyone.
Our squad is too deep to include everyone in matchday. This was us missing Bruno g, konsa, timber and saliba. If Nwaneri didn't make bench, that would be headlines as well for the fan base.
@RUN3LL1@ONE_AMN Gyokeres and madueke play different positions and are back ups for the rw and CF respectively. In terms of the teamsheet, they deserve to be there.
Nwaneri you have a point. But I'd rather Arteta prioritise EN over Martinelli considering EN has a chance at a longer term future.
@JediFunk36@UnitedStandMUFC@WayneRooney 1) He's 19 in a midfield unit consisting of 27-30yo's.
2) Has rice and Bruno G, 2 of the best in league, to learn from.
3) Manager trusts him enough to start him in high pressure situations, title run in, UCL semi final and final.
Zero reason for him to want a move.
@ahtalksfutbol@notprivv66 The issue is this was prior to Berta fully getting settled in the job. It's common knowledge ie Ornstein that berta came in and pushed for Gyokeres ahead of sesko.
@pythaginboots He threepeated the UCL and was a defining clutch factor in all his UCL winning campaigns. Threepeated the prem, won leagues everywhere. In their prime him and Messi were bar for bar. Later years Messi has definitely closed the GOAT debate. But he is still one of the best ever.
@larsbohemian Declan rice hasn't been the driving force of Arsenal for the past 3 years, with countless motm awards, inc big UCL games, to be compared to a kid just having his big breakout year.
Bayern, UCL semi final 2nd leg, Real Madrid B2B just to name a few.
@lfcJ7_ Lol literally the start and end point of the parade at the bridge connected to the stadium, where fans were told not to congregate. Only friends and family of players and staff allowed on that bridge just off to the right of that pic. But don't let that stop an agenda ๐คฃ
