Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
Sad really. But we always get one every few years (Diaby, Jack, etc etc.).FFS
I mean this in the nicest possible way but who gives a shit?
Has ESR in anyway been pivotal to us being where we are in the table and the answer is no
My attitude is get him back from injury, maybe give him a few games to score some more goals and then sell him in the summer. He is surplus to requirements injured or not
We’ve got to where we are without him but he was really good before his injuries. A fully fit ESR is definitely good enough to compete for a place in the team, so I wouldn’t quite class him as surplus just yet.
The longer his issues go on though then unfortunately a decision would probably have to be made.
He already is surplus to requirements given we have two players that occupy the same position as him and the way things are going even Vieira will command preference over him in that role.
Rosicky, Diaby and Wilshere were three of my favourite Arsenal players in that when they were fit they were exceptional but we should have been more ruthless with them. ESR isn’t…yes it’s nice he gets a few goals but he’s not technically brilliant, his link up play and running aren’t particularly great and he seems almost slightly lop sided.
Is he better than Iwobi or Joe Willock? Yes but that’s not a high bar to get over. Squad depth means nothing if the players in the squad aren’t reliable
Put in a 60 million bid for Caicedo from Brighton, they’ve rejected and said he’s not for sale.
Can’t say I blame them to be honest
Encouraging that we’re after a CM but unless we pay something ridiculous I don’t think there’s any chance Brighton will sell him.
