DiabyKungFu What exactly are you "afraid" would happen if Nwaneri had gotten all of those minutes instead? Unless Nwaneri is some uncoachable menace behind closed doors, it seems difficult to justify choosing Eze over Nwaneri.
Yeah, but you've got this extreme take on Eze, where I would agree he's been a bit disappointing and Nwaneri could've picked up a few of his minutes if he'd been around, and evidently even more if Eze had not even been signed.
The logic of signing Eze in response to Havertz's injury is not really called into question by our relative agreement on this point. All the less considering that Eze did just materially contribute to the best Arsenal season in 22 years.
End of the day it comes back to football and not to whining. There will always be excuses for Nwaneri not getting minutes—Saka's too good, Ødegaard is too good, Greenwood is too good, for some inscrutable reason Eze is favoured by the chumps who make decisions at league-winning Arsenal despite Eze not being any good—but we both know if Nwaneri were clearly better than Saka, Ødegaard, Greenwood or Eze he'd be getting the minutes.
My conclusion is Nwaneri seems to not actually be quite good enough to start for Arsenal in most matches just yet, so another loan where he actually plays and excels seems his best shot, and it could be an outside shot. Marseille wasn't the chance, so go find another.
To end up succeeding at Arsenal Nwaneri may have to go some place like Marseille, and play football better than some player like Mason Greenwood, and do this under the usual chaotic conditions of any football club.
Other than that we can expect that Eze, Madueke and Dowman will "kill" him and perhaps be "killed" themselves ... as Wenger used to say when he was dogmatically refusing to sign the better players who would've won us league titles in the past to protect the career of, I dunno, Philippe Senderos.
