Eddie Nketiah (14)

[starmandb]

Yeah the "He's only 21" excuse is horrendous.

I'm sorry but a 21 year old is a man, young man but a man none the less, speed, endurance all above a man in his 30's so what sort of fkin excuse is that, being 21 is an attribute not a deficiency.

Saka is 16 and is more accomplished, Martinelli? Balogun?

If i were to bring up highlights of great players when they were 21 it would put this comment to shame.

This is the problem at this sh*t club, theres always an excuse, "Too young, too old blah blah".

21 is not fkin too young, stop with that, a players prime is in his 20's ffs, once they hit 30 people start devaluing them immediately.

............PS, Mike Tyson was the HW champ of the world aged 20.

Saka is 19

Nketiah's contract ends in June 2022. It's time to sell not loan.

The manager is playing a system that doesn't suit him and with his limitations physically and technically, he needs service and he won't get that here.

Nketiah and Balogun share the same agent. They're both competing for the same spot in the team. One has to go and it will be a shame to see Balogun go without seeing him get a run in the team.

He looks more ready for the first team physically compared to Eddie.

How do you know they share the same agent?

They've been discussing it on the Arsenal Vision Podcast recently.

Same agency manage Saka, Reiss Nelson, Iwobi and Jadon Sancho.

Let’s hope this agent is an Arsenal fan and does the right thing for us Balogan on a new contract and Eddie out

Yeah, I don't know. I think we're going to end up losing Balogun. He sounds like he’s ready to leave. The League Cup game may be an important indicator.

Balogun is obviously an utter t**t. A 19yr old kid with no experience holding out for a bigger contract or demanding playing time??? He can f*ck off.
Sign or bye bye.

Auba may be injured for a while, so he will get much more game time.

Imagine this killer front 3:

Pepe --- Nketiah -- Willian

[DiamondGooner]

^^ More like he know's he's got us over a barrel ............. I mean his competition is Nketiah, hardly quaking in his boots is he.

We need him more than he needs us.

......... and again, you using the age thing "he's 19" yes he is, do you know what a bright future a top level teenage striker has in front of him at the right club? Mbappe anyone?

He's looking at the state of us right now and rightfully so considering his options, its us who needs to do better, not him.

i'm so over seeing this "he's only 21" argument to keep eddie. agreed players develop differently, but I see nothing from eddie that screams quality. Chelsea dumped him (supposedly cuz he was too small....at least that what I've been told by his fan boys), and he didn't even sniff the starting XI at Leeds (haven't heard any fan boy defense for that).

I could give two shits for his size if he'd work. and please stop with the "he's a poacher" argument too along with his "banging goals for fun" for England u21. he's lazy and does not provide any quality toward the run of play. hold up play is nonexistent and he can't create on his own. he brings no energy/urgency to the pitch like martinelli or Balogun.

sell him while we can get something. time to move on and let others like Balogun/martinelli to showcase

[Ach]

Didn't play today did he? Starts v Chelsea

Laca was pretty good today. Would start Laca against Chelsea.

Eddie can play in our relegation 6 pointers against Brighton and West Brom.

he's not even close to quality.

If West Ham actually pay this they deserve to be relegated next season for such stupidity, assuming this rumour is true it’s nice to see us driving a hard bargain for once.

[Ach]

If we get this, best sale ever

[Salibatelli]

Pretty much.

We tried to be aggressive with our valuations for Mustafi and Torreira, how did those work out?

£30m for Nketiah is us telling WHU to go away. Same thing Palace did by pricing Zaha at £80m.

[Ach]

You never know.

Solanke and Brewster went for 20m+ and both are absolute garbage and worse than Eddie.

Only right we ask for more
