Country: England
I dunno what you want me to say, he made progress at end of last season and he was dropped.Although he has been sidelined recently the month before that he showed progress, enough to suggest he could have a good season next season. You don’t buy players for 70m on five year contracts to only show something near their worth in their third season, was clearly a bad transfer, but it is what it is and I don’t see the club dumping him for a loss of 50m on his transfer fee. I think he has been sidelined recently in part because Arteta is set on pushing the case to buy Ødegaard this summer, and hence so many minutes going to Ødegaard, in order to convince our board as well as the player.
He had a good run of games this season and he was dropped.
He started every Europa group match scoring and assisting until the comp got serious now he’s not allowed to play.
The mad thing is people justify this somehow as well. He’s clearly not a bad player despite you calling him a bad signing, he has the 2nd highest goal involvement at the club despite limited minutes.
I’m tired of talking about him anyways, as long as Arteta is here he’s an impact sub. Arteta isn’t going anywhere so he needs to decide if he wants to sit there for 5 years or not.
