Gunners win 3-0 and we have another energizer bunny, cocks lose 0-3. Great start of the season.

Sorry was away during the championship but did get my son to the victory parade, but he passed on the 3 hour wait for the championship patch. Where can we get one now.

Oh, I didn’t realize that everyone hates us. Oh well

Because he's not a touchline winger.

And he was our leading scorer in the champions league. That's a fact. Started 7/15, so less than half the games.

I'm just not ready to let him go for Alvarez. Look at how he acted. He will do that to us. And Alvarez isn't a winger either. It makes no sense.

The rumors are we did offer him plus cash for yildiz. That makes more sense. But going for Alvarez? Idk, I hate it.

It's clear he's not in the plans for this year.

Hopefully we get a decent a good fee for him. I don't think Alvarez would be a replacement for Martinelli, he'd be the replacement for Jesus I assume.

You'll see more Eze LW to take those Martinelli minutes. If you sign any LW I'd like Ndiaye from Everton

I saw on x someone posted his message to the fans on Instagram.

Assuming that wasn't fake and was a real screen shot of his Instagram. Might be an older message someone posted. So a real post, but not about leaving.

I hate Eze at the wing. I hate selling our second best left winger.

And honestly the fees reported are very low for a player of his quality. He just started for Brazil in the World Cup and had 11 goals total last year even though he wasn’t at his best in the league.

I'm convinced that we are intentionally bad at selling players. There's no other logical conclusion.

Additionally, he's got 1 year left on his deal and on some decent wages I think. (Wages is a pretty big deal for us not getting fees we want) same with Nelson, Jesus, etc

Eze is fine over there, he works best being able to cut inside and get on his strong foot.

I'm thinking that Martinelli has made himself as a touchline winger, because Tzolis was definitely roaming all over the place the other day. It's a weird situation for sure

While I do agree. He technically has 1 year left on his deal (really 2 with a club option that would be exercised). He is also on 180k a week. I'm sure he would want a signing bonus wherever he goes as well.

The teams that should be in for him (Atleti, Barca pre Gordon, I'd even add PSG, and some other big teams and next tier type teams) are scared by the capital outlay. To get 50 to 60 million for him is MASSIVE for the books since he is essentially club trained, homegrown, and is pure profit for the most part. Gotta pay Ituano a percentage but this is a huge fee and I think our record sale right?

I'm not necessarily upset Martinelli will get paid in Saudi.

It's the character we are losing. This dude was here for us in dark times. Alvarez is showing he will walk out on clubs when it doesn't go his way.

I don't disagree with you

Martinelli
Smith Rowe
Saka

To me all 3 are academy greats and Arsenal success stories. Arguably the only 3 that gave a shite during the dark ages. I lump Gabriel and Odegaard there too.

The people shitting on Martinelli can frick off. Believe me there are many on social media. Selling him for 55 is a huge success even with other inflated fees. This really helps our books and he is an all time arsenal good guy and hard worker

I think I may be a little jaded by the fees that City and Chelsea seem to get for their out of favor players. They bring a player in that doesn’t do shite and then sell him the next year for the same money.

Martinelli being sold for 60M is our record sell and pure profit for around 9-10x what we bought him for. Will gladly take that and thank you for the memories. Tough decisions had to be made and sadly he was on the chopping block.

One week until the transfer window closes. If you are getting rid of Martinelli you better be bringing someone else in

Kind of feels like Alvarez will come deadline day.

I'm iffy on him. tbh
