Ode confirmed

Qwiss

He's much better in the press than any one else who plays number 10 for us. No doubt.

This however

Mad how him, Saka and Havertz haven't started together since Dec. 2024.

This isn't mad. This is an issue that needs solving. The big talk about how Havertz had exceeded all expectations and had made a super-human recovery from last seasons long term injury look really fucking stupid now. If we go into next season once again hoping for Ode and Havertz to be fit that's on the management, not bad luck.

Tam Yup. We just need to get both of them fit, because Havertz is a very good player and Odegaard is an excellent one. He's our Barca-style asset.
But casting our minds ahead, one has to think about Havertz-Gyokeres-Jesus. Clearly, Jesus can just go. And then we can decide on the other 2. Gyok's biggest asset right now is fitness. We'd be in a dogfight for 2nd-5th without him. Havertz is the much better player but has been barely available. If I was forced to pick, I'd sell Havertz and get in another facilitator like Alvarez, playing ahead of Gyokeres - along with a scoring winger like Gordon. If we can do Alvarez/Gordon and keep both Havertz and Gyokeres, I'm fine with that too. Next season, post World Cup, will be brutal on players.

Claudius the just need to get them fit is not a plan. It may be this is who they are arsenal should be planning for next season as though what we've seen from them so far is what they will give us otherwise as @Qwiss says it's negligent.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Gordon. Oh dear.

Qwiss

awooga83 yep we need a new striker but when you've 2 strikers who'll get 10-15 goals in a season but ones never fit it's not a tough decision on who to keep.

Qwiss

I like Gordon but he is not a scoring winger. He's got similar returns to Martinelli and Trossard and that's with more space in behind.

Kel Varnsen

Ødegaard and Saka are our most important players and it isn't even close.
