Nelson certainly.
Where the f/ck was he again today?

Yeah, that’s true. Hopefully we can at least loan him out somewhere he can re-find some form, and fack him off cheap in 2022.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But he has no footballing brain whatsoever. Doesn’t make the right runs, doesn’t release the ball at the right time, never plays the right pass so it doesn’t matter if he can hold the ball up or not as he will do nothing with it, and he is extremely one footed with very erratic finishing so won’t score goals either. He would be even worse as a CF than he is now, if that’s somehow possible.

Might as well play Pepe at CF. He is definitely big and strong so might well be suited to holding the ball up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
One thing is certain, Nketiah must leave the club this month.
Literally zero point in him staying at Arsenal for what remains of the season now we’re out of the Cup.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It would be very dangerous without a new contract. If he was to do well somewhere we will be fecked out of a fee.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dude, he is not going to ‘do well’ at any club that could afford to give us big money for him anyway.
Loan him to Brighton. Let him hopefully do well there, then try to part-ex him for Bissouma in the summer.

M8 West Ham wanted him for actual money. Coaches and scouts think far more of him than we do.
Or Brentford.

Or Do-not-care-really City Wanderers.

Which is why we need to get rid now.
As Bats said, the more we play him, the more his will decrease now.
I really don't understand the hate. 30 year old or even 24/25 year old I get it. But for a 21 year old, nah.
Like I said before if we were to sell Laca I want Odsonne to replace him. But that don't mean I want to rid of Eddie now or Balogun or Willock at this point in their careers.

Oh come on, lex. The kid is actively taking the piiisss, he can get facked.
Arteta: You go back one calendar year and compare what [Nketiah] has done. He was coming from Leeds, where he wasn’t playing at all, we were going to send him on loan and I decided not to do it. It’s a big transformation.
“He’s a young player, he’s got some players competing with him in that position but I think he’s done a lot and his development in a year for his position, compared to any other striker his age in Europe, you won’t see many that have played that many minutes.”
He’s played okay, and scored goals, in the Europa. But every time he’s been asked to step up, he has failed.
I’m not seeing any development in his game since returning from loan last season. And man, he’s the body strength of an 11 year old.

Course, and I now expect he won’t stay.
But, we need a goal with 10/20 mins left to play, who would you rather see coming off the bench. Balogun, or Nketiah?
Eddie needs a loan or time out the team
This Balogun meltdown is funny though
The thing with Eddie is, he looks poor. But so has Auba this season. And Auba is a world class striker whereas Eddie is a kid at the start. Could it be, maybe, that playing with Pepe, Willian, Elneny and Xhaka (as Eddie has done for most of his appearances) doesn't help a striker?
If we can excuse Auba's form due to those 4 maybe we can excuse Eddies form too?

I've given my views about these two - Eddie is not good enough, Balogun is, but he's being a cuuuuunt.
Arteta on Pepe and Willian: “You could see how hard they are trying, with more or less quality, but the intention is there and the willingness is there. This is what we demand them to do. And after the decision-making, the final pass, the final goal, the opportunities they have, it is the end product and that’s the hardest thing in football.”
“We are going to keep supporting them as much as we possibly can, as a coaching staff and as a club because that is what they need.
“They need to keep working hard and try to improve their performances. I want to think positively and think that they are going to reach their level very soon. And the way they train every day is to reach that level and we are here to support them again – and not to think in a negative way.”

Exactly. You know ordinarily Auba is capable of scoring lots of goals. Yet this season even he cannot get on the score sheet. Yet you expect a kid to come in and do what Auba can't?
