Why is Arsenal not in for a Cherki?

Can anyone give me a reason besides gross incompetence?

So you packing Nwaneri's bags? Arsenal need more pace. Nor does Cherki have the workrate. Now you could say replace Odegaard. For as much as I don't rate rate Odegaard and his defensive works gets worse the further he drops back. His redeeming quality defensively is that he sets the pressing triggers in the attacking 3rd. That is what he is good at. If you have Saka on the right then you need a flyer down the left. If you sign Cherki instead of the transition threat you're going to be cussing and cursing months down the line as to why you didn't sign one.

Yes you need more creative but the extra pace is needed even more. Unless you want to give those Reiss Nelson hamstrings one more chance?

Pep would ruin Cherki like he ruined Grealish

Robots only. No room for artists

Tbh Cherki could do with some refinement at this stage of his career not too much but make him go down less blind alleys/over dribbling. And Pep is most likely gone in 2 summers time. Maybe even next summer if Citeh do outrageous year or win the CL.

Yeah in the time Ive been reading on Cherki. the knock on him is lack of defensive contribution and foot speed...
Guardiola can drill some of the first into him I guess

Might be best served coming off the bench for instant offense, like an NBA sixth man.

Still based on his cameo today....feels like he packed his bags to North America 2026

My thing with this Gyorkores and Sesko debate.

I dont know either. But here's what worries me. Gyorkores was on Brighton's payroll for a hot minute. And if Brighton dont think you levels like that. I dont know, fam. Cause i dont see Brighton selling players to Sporting, that they think are capable off Greatness.

Players can improve, but whatever

Gyokeres is shyt at headers. Sesko is the better fit for the set up. Even tho he is more rawer but the ceiling is higher.

Tbh if Sesko doesn't hit the ground running I can see both Arsenal and fans of other teams saying Sesko is Havertz and Jesus's love child :hubie:

My thing with strikers in the PL. I dont believe in 2nd chances.

You either gonna get it in this league or youre not.

Havertz will be our number 9 either way. Sesko even if we buy him will be a bench player until Havertz shows he’s incompetent…which probably won’t be too long lol. He makes too much money for Arteta to drop him
