“Process to renew Mikel Arteta’s contract at Arsenal underway and to recommence in the summer. Early optimism over positive outcome. Plus – Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri futures in doubt amid a sharper focus on outgoings this summer.” -Sami Mokbel

Loool Arteta outers in the mud. Inject it
We shouldn’t sell Ethan imo. Big mistake if we do.
I’d be gutted if we sold MLS and Nwaneri for PSR purposes.
There are plenty of other players I’d look to get rid of first if we needed to free up money.

No chance Ethan or Myles are going anywhere without massive offers. Relax guys
MLS and Nwaneri so we can chase “Gordan” and “Tonali”??? Fairs man
MLS sale would make sense even a little but Nwaneri is already better and has a higher ceiling than Madueke.
Maybe in the summer if he wins PL or UCL, if not then Arteta’s contract shouldn’t be renewed.
But even with PL in the bag, i’m still worried about this style of play long term, hopefully he will change things for next season.
Both Lewis Skelly and Nwaneri?
Gonna be gutted if we sell them.
Oh my that headline took a turn
I believe odegaard should be gone before nwaneri. Nwaneri should be the Eze understudy. MLS should be a rice understudy.
We are going to have to start selling good players. We are going to sell players that are popular with fans and will be attractive to other teams vs our old habit of getting spare change for dead weight no one really wants.
Some of you need to accept that this not only is going to happen, but it’s necessary for a club to be able to sustain itself.
So seems like the key news is
* Arteta extension being worked on
* Nwaneri, MLS, White, Jesus, Martinelli could be sold (or at least we’re listening to offers). We’d want 100m for the pair of Nwaneri and MLS
* We want to keep Odegaard but decision has to be made soon with his contract ticking
* We like Livramento, Tonali, and Gordon…but Livramento the most
* Julian Alvarez won’t happen unless Kai or Gyokeres go
Knew this was coming with Ethan and Myles and I hate it. Would really affect how I feel about the club – I know it doesn’t matter for others but this is my local team and young local players coming through is a massive part of what brings me most joy as an Arsenal fan.
Not finding a spot for nwaneri with such a lack of consistent creativity is silly. I think writing is on the all for myles if he can’t shift into midfield can’t imagine he’ll get the time to develop left back
Why sell them now? Loan them for a season at least in the prem and let them show their worth. Right now we’d probably get 35m for MLS and 50m for Nwaneri. Just doesn’t seem worth it to me.
imagine selling Ethan Nwaneri and MLS only to go and bring Gordon and Tonali ffs.
Bit of a nothing article – winning either the prem or CL is equivalent to selling MLS or Nwaneri in prize money.
Also doesn’t mention that havertz is down to his final 2 years, or Trossard who is in a similar position.
I could see a Nwaneri deal that is a bit like Niko Paz at Como with a buy back clause etc.
Unless MLS is going to be considered as a midfielder it may be best for Arsenal and him if he did leave. He’s too talented to not play and he’s not a LB
Ethan is the type of player PSG buy and develop into a doue/Barcola. Selling him would be a huge mistake.
MLS, Nwaneri and Lil Gabi leaving is surely going to make me sad.
Selling MLS or Nwaneri before some of the other deadwood in the side would be a mistake, and would be very disappointing.
I also think if they announce an Arteta contract extension after a season in which we don’t win anything (again) would cause a LOT of problems. You can enjoy him as a person and all the other reasons but not a single normal person can deny if we go trophyless for a 6th year in a row and then give Arteta even more time and money to spend, it’s gonna be a bad look. There’s a lot of red flags over this season, and I’m praying to the Lord we just get over the line in the league
Ethan is staying I see it. MLS tho idk
I’d obviously rather not sell but if we do it better be for a significant fee
Selling them after spending 50mil on madueke… actually stupid.
Hopefully the renewal is contingent on him getting across the line in either the PL or CL: without that, it smacks a bit of rewarding three years of glorious failure
MLS and Nwaneri being sold sucks, but the perverse incentivisaition of PSR is such where unless you’re one of the first on the team sheet, you’re probably first in the list of players to be sold to fund incomings
If we sell either that’s a bad idea . I hate that Ethan’s on loan right now by itself
If we sell MLS or Ethan I’ll be disappointed and just not get invested in our academy talents anymore
Sell them both with buyback clause
I hope a Buy back clause is included IF we were to sell MLS and Nwaneri.
short termism.
welcome aboard 26+yo really expensive PL attacker who won’t have resale value that will put us in this same cycle, while that player won’t magically fix the attack problems for him – like now..
looking for 50m for each of Nwaneri and MLS where we will spend more on said player with not much room for market growth…
Selling Ethan with a buy back clause may buy us some time PSR wise but I think we should keep him. I would listen to Odegaard offers though. Good age to sell.
Nwaneri will defo come back to bite us if he’s sold.
Serge situation
Skelly and Nwaneri are now all third choice in their positions, Nwaneri is likely fourth choice for RW next season with the breakthrough of Dowman who’ll be the better player
LB – Hincapie > Calafiori > Skelly
RAM – Odegaard > Eze > Nwaneri
RW – Saka > Madueke > Dowman > Nwaneri
Huge mistake to sell MLS and Ethan. MLS will get snapped up easily by United. Both should go out on loan for one more season. They’re still young and plenty of room to grow and develop
