Utter nonsense
Arsenal have better players than both ESR and Gordon on the wings rn, thats why they might sell him (and they clearly arent desperate to do it if they want 50M anyway).
Just because Arsenal has better players and need to find a way to cash in on ESR before his deal expires doesnt mean he doesnt have more potential than other teams’ players.
Man, this thread is severely underestimating ESR
His development has stalled but he has bags of talent.
With game time and trust, there is a good chance he develops into something really special. People need to rewatch some of his 2021-2022 games (when he was still 21). He has more potential than Gordon, Willock, and Barnes, 100% certain of that. He can just do more.
Obviously cant be sure that he ever gets back on track, but the potential is worth a sizable investment IMO
Yea, pretty obvious at this point that they base all their transfers on agents, media hype, and manager requests.
Simple as. Guys like Antony, Matic, Mihki are clear manager buys. Sancho, Pogba, etc. were media hype transfers.
Very few look like a part of a well-scouted, coherent, long-term plan.
Its a lot like what was happening at Arsenal during the dark days of Raul Sanllehi tbh, except this has been going on for 10+ years at ManU.
