Given that we had the resources to buy Havertz and potentially a keeper we don’t need, it’s criminal that we might be starting the season with Eddie Nketiah as our number one striker.
There was a poll on YouTube which asked -could the 24-year-old score more than 10 League goals- this campaign?
Over 80 per cent said yes, which shows we have some who think the definition of being a supporter is to say everything about your club is wonderful.
In reality, it’s unlikely that Eddie will score double figures in the Prem …. he’s only scored 14 period
He played in 30 Prem fixtures last season and only scored 4 times.
Some Gooners will continue to defend his record, saying not all of those opportunities were starts.
Some of my peers think you are less of a fan if you acknowledge that Eddie is not good enough.
To others it sums up their sense of entitlement.
In my opinion, 131 games is enough chances to prove yourself. It’s enough time to gauge an opinion. Yet some still make excuses for the player.
He hasn’t started enough, etc.
Yet this is professional sport, it’s not a charity.
If a youngster is being scouted, you should act like that chance is your last, you shouldn’t expect another 100 tries.
If an actor goes to an audition, they treat that meeting like they might never be invited back.
The line between success and failure are small.
Sometimes timing is everything. Making your opportunity count as a failure to get noticed on your first try can be the difference maker.
Only in 2023 can a player play 131 games for Arsenal, and it be claimed he hasn’t had enough chances.
