We have now officially opened talks with Chelsea for Madueke
Ffs.
I reckon the Gyokores deal is already done, all the paper talk drama, fee haggling, ‘stalling’ stuff is just for clicks.

Besides Gyokores, I don't really understand what the hell we are doing with attacking players.
We cannot get Eze and Madueke together....they are too similar. Also what about Nwaneri, who is quite similar to Eze with his versatility....it just looks like we've gone bonkers for a particular type of player.
Trossard is almost certainly going this summer or by January.
Martinelli, despite how much I dislike what he has become, is still far better than Madueke and it makes sense for him to stay if we get Eze, who is more versatile.
We have no player that exudes power and confidence. No player that can ride 3 terrible challenges and still go ahead and score. We could have gone for Mbuemo, we could have gone for a cheaper Kudus to bring that needed balance.
Besides Gyokores, I don't get any of the other lightweights we are being linked to currently.

So it doesn't look like I'm just complaining I'd have preferred we'd setup our business like this, and I listed by priority:
Gyokores- CF
Eze- LW, CM, RW
Sesko- CF
Keep everyone else
Or
Gyokores- CF
Lookman-LW (he's basically what Trossard should have been)
Eze- LW, CM, RW
Kudus- LW, CM, RW
Sell Martinelli and Trossard.
Option B would change the team dramatically and is probably my favourite. I would have swapped Mbuemo with Kudus, but we're way too late, though he'd probably give both Saka and Gyokores proper competition and force them to raise the bar.

Do you remember the relief when we finally off loaded Pepe because he had signed a five year contract and was terrible.........well...... enter MaduekeOriginally Posted by KSE Comedy Club
You actually couldn't make it up.
I can see the thinking behind Eze because of his versatility and the fact he is a very good proven player riding the crest of a wave. He’s definitely a signing that will raise eyebrows for the right reasons.
Madueke I feel is a bit of a waste of money with Nwaneri as an already existing and capable understudy. It wouldn’t be Arteta though if he didn’t make at least one unnecessary signing.
I look at it more as bolstering the squad. Nwaneri is as much a backup for Odegaard as he is Saka, plus one would like to think Eze and Odegaard would be played together
ok, I'd heard the opposite about him and that he was a bit more defensively-minded but hope you're right
yes and I wonder whether there's a bit of sour grapes here by Arteta - he clearly favoured Sesko but Gyokeres is Berta's choice, so maybe out of spite Arteta's gone and found a signing he can call his own, even if it costs us Eze and maybe also Nwaneri
50m is the bid for Madueke but that’s expected to be turned down.
Walk away now please.
