Eddie Nket14h: Answering The 📞 From England

[Dennis_Bergkamp_10]

He's behind Jesus, Havertz and Trossard yet earns 100k a week and wears 14. Need to replace him asap, even though he's a likeable guy who works hard.

Why fuss about the 100k a week? Especially when he's a likable guy, seems to be a good teammate, and works hard?

He was out of contract, could have left for nothing. 25 million over five years is way cheaper than the fee for a comparable backup, never mind that backup's wages. And there's the opportunity to sell him on if things turn out that way.

Eddie got money he could never have dreamed of growing up. Arsenal got a pretty good deal compared with the alternatives, too. Seems to me like the rare football deal that works out well for both sides

Eddie is a solid squad player for us and a Academy kid.

Arteta supports him, backs him, and understands what he brings to the squad. He plays him accordingly.

I don’t get the need to line up in this thread after a 6-0 win whereby he had a brief cameo.

I think people are doing too much.

What does it say that Nketiah has lost out to Trossard as a 9 once again like last season when Trossard kick started our 7 game winning run before he was dropped for Jesus in the run in...

If Nketiah had any shame he'll leave this summer, can't play 9 ahead of Trossard and Havertz when Jesus is out?

Trossard is a good player, so I don’t really see the point tbf. Anyways, I’m not really against the idea of Nketiah playing his football elsewhere but come on, some of you have no shame. We won 6-0 and he played 15-20 mins so I don’t really see a point in running these agendas today.

Similar to Nketiah, ESR is also on 100k as is Nelson and Kai is on whatever he is but you’ll hear nothing from me on any of them today as I couldn’t care less about all of that.

I think some of you place too much stock on individual players rather than the general performance. I have no attachment to any of them and haven’t for a while therefore I’m not fussed as long as we’re winning which is the key thing.

Trossard is solid squad player. Nketiah is not good enough

Trossard is more than a squad player. He doesn't have the luxury to get settled into one position whether it be midfield, wing, or striker.But his skill set is undeniable.

Nketiah's role is good for what he can do.

I don't want a comparable backup, I want players who improve us. Nketiah has gotten plenty of chances, but he's not top standard unfortunately. His wages on 100k a week might make it very hard to sell him, I doubt there are a lot of teams willing to match those wages. Fulham apparently have Jimenez as their highest earner on similar wages, meanwhile someone like Kudus earns 90k a week.

Reckon he'll go in the summer if we get a decent offer. He'll prosper better in a different system most likely.

He's not terrible, but nowhere near the quality we need as a real option upfront.

We're getting great goal returns from our other attackers, so this hasn't been as great a concern of late, but yeah, between Jesus' limited minutes and Nketiah's insipid performances, selling him while his stock is still somewhat high and getting another forward in in the summer is the right move. I'm certain it's Toney that ends up being his replacement.

 

[Whickham]

A major drop from Trossard/Jesus to Stinketiah. And it's not even his fault. Can't control the ball to save his dear life.
This guy plays like an amateur league two player and has football IQ of 12 years old, sell him this summer.

 

[MikeVinna]

One of the victims of going out of the cups early. I can imagine there’s a few players in the squad that don’t want another year wasting away. For the Hale Enders they probably see a chance to grab some silverware with the club they grew up with so they might have more patience regarding play time.

 

[Geofranco]

Amazing that this guy and El-neny still play for this once great club.

 

[grange]

Getting Make a Wish levels with this guy. Cedric and El Neny are less embarrassing, tbh.

 

[Rasmi]

Just waiting for someone say he is good squad option. He is terrible

 

[grange]

Who else will pay this guy 100k/wk?

 

[TH14shahriar]

Who else will pay this guy 100k/wk?

Think the club will need to ask for a lower fee because no one will pay this guy that salary.

 

[Sanchez11]

Will go in the summer, should retire the no14 shirt ffs.

Theo Walcott and this guy smh
