Chelsea reject
Must be a slow news day when you're answering questions nobody is asking and everyone already knows the answer to. Sky Sports next conversation topic: Has the sky ever been pink?
The problem with Kai is a lack of desire to score goals. He's not hungry for goals the way a Haaland, Oshimen or Isak is. You can't train that
He's always been an attacking midfielder and was at his best playing a free role at Leverkusen…
We Gunners need a "killer finisher" top class center forward to take us to the next level !
If we can either of this forwards/wingers
Plan A
Isak
Nico Williams
Plan B
Jhon Duran
Sesko
Plan C
Vlahovic
Garnacho
Out
Jorginho
Tierney
Zinchenko
Kiwior
It's seem unlikely we buy anyone but most probably possible getting a loan deal
Kai Havertz is a good 2nd striker. Unfortunately, many managers don’t utilize them as well as they used to. He could really shine if Arsenal find a good tandem with him
Kai has been forced to be a striker but he is surely not a striker
But this is how you know a team is Mediocre when even journalists have to make up excuses to defend thier incompetence….
Not been an out and out anything has he?
no
Has Kai Havertz ever hit a barn door?
No
No… next question
Kai Havertz is a #10 or second striker. Watch how he played for Leverkusen and watch how he plays for Arsenal. Btw Arsenal bought him to replace Xhaka but it didn't work out. Hence him playing as a forward. He hasn't and will never score 20+ league goals.
He is ok 👍
We needed a striker and bought a donKAI instead
Is this a Rhetorical question…
Kai havertz is a muller type of player where he is not a striker, winger, midfielder but their intelligence of the ball is what makes them elite
He's the modern day Thomas Müller, he needs to be given a free role to float about and do whatever. 🧠
They still trying to deflect from that clown of a referee
Has Havertz been an out and out player period? 😂
No but I’d say he’s done alright but probably because of his height play musiala, wirtz, palmer, Ozil or foden as no. 9 I doubt they do as well as he has at Chelsea or the gunners he’s been played out of position for 4 years just because of his height. They’d do well with him as an actual 10.
Another version of Laca😅
No, but Havertz has been playing false-nine for Arsenal
Havertz might not be a bad left back.
NO!!! clear and obvious man!!! He is a CM at most a CAM. Arteta really screwd up by playing him as a CF. I don't really blame Havertz here!
It’s quite straightforward: Kai Havertz is a striker, and signing him was a significant misstep for Arsenal. One has to question why Chelsea chose to let him go they recognized that he wasn’t delivering in the role they needed. Despite this, Arteta rushed to sign him, seemingly convinced he was bringing in a high-caliber player. Now, it appears Arteta is starting to regret that decision, and Arsenal finds themselves still searching for a reliable striker.
A similar issue arose with Raheem Sterling, who has struggled to make an impact in the Arsenal squad. His underwhelming performances have only added to Arteta’s challenges, largely due to decisions made by Edu.
In my opinion, Havertz might be better suited as a midfielder, where his skills could potentially be utilized more effectively. However, relying on him as a striker will not help Arsenal achieve success in major competitions. If Arsenal truly wants to compete at the highest level, addressing this issue must be a priority.
Havertz is a liability.
Im so disgusted that kai havertz left Chelsea
Off the ball he is a top player
This sums up Arteta's squad at the moment.
The only "striker" we have available – isn't actually a striker.
Which means we don't have ANY genuine striker in our squad.
WTF is going on at this club.
Think havertz best position is a number 10 role playing just behind a number 9 striker he is good at linking the midfield and the front line he is good at hold up play and powerful in the air infront of goal is where he struggles doesn't help that there is not really any competition for the role that he playing for arsenal signing a natural number 9 can only strengthen his game he would be able to learn how to be a more consistent player infront of goal have always been a huge fan of his and we have definitely not seen his full potential in a arsenal shirt just imagine the future with the team we have atm and the addition of the right number 9 for artetas plans a quick striker with fast feet and pace will make arsenal a completely different team if you are that player please send your cv in to arsenal I would be truly grateful the right person is worth the wait in arteta we trust
He needs be on the bench as rotation to odegaard n saka
