LFEFox23 Posted 25 July Share Posted 25 July Nelson clearly talented but his history of injuries are of a concern and do we need another starting winger? as he definitely isn't coming to be a squad player , glad its only a loan but the obligation (assuming we avoid relegation) is another concern for me. 6.5/10 signing for me.

Popular Post honeybradger Posted 25 July Popular Post Share Posted 25 July The value Arsenal are getting for the Smith Rowe transfer shows there is no value to be had here. They will be asking £15mil for a player who at 25 will not have had a full season of first team football yet, avoid. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vindaloo FOX Posted 25 July Share Posted 25 July 39 minutes ago, TheGoldenGod said: Cooper seemed to suggest multiple times in his PM interview they needed more "bodies". I don't expect we stop at Nelson, but could be wrong! More to come in for sure, but I think we will see Nelson playing as a 10 this season more than many think.

Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 25 July Share Posted 25 July I'd prefer a loan. He's of an age where his development and motivation MAY have plateaud. Try before you buy seems a sensible approach. As long as the obligation price/ clauses aren't silly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post kingfox Posted 25 July Popular Post Share Posted 25 July Most comments are positive, but the comments writing Reiss Nelson off just because he hasn’t nailed down a starting place at Arsenal are baffling. He has Saka, Martinelli and Trossard ahead of him, getting in ahead of them is impossible. It’s just the same case with Smith-Rowe potentially heading to Fulham, no way he gets in ahead of Odegaard and the wingers I’ve mentioned, so it’s come to the point where it’s probably for the best that Nelson and Smith-Rowe head for pastures new. Nelson has had enough decent cameos and cup appearances for Arsenal to know that there’s a decent player in him. If he does come, maybe he excels, maybe he flops, but he’s a player that deserves a fair crack of the whip at another Premier League team. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal won't sell him for a knock down price though, he will be sold at the same price as players who are currently playing regularly and playing well in other top flights across Europe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notting your mums forest Posted 25 July Share Posted 25 July All comes down to price here. At 25yrs old, he’s not worth anything near £15M. However, Arsenal will be seeking a large offer as have their own FPP pressures seeing as they are spending big on Calafiori at £40M+ from our friends at Bologna. I see this signing as a player that maybe a few rungs down from our 1st choice. I’d say a year long loan, but we shouldn’t be paying anymore than £10M all in (including loan fee if we’re were to exercise the loan option). Reiss Nelson is a good player. He was excellent for the first few months of his Bundesliga loan move, but seriously tailed off. So consistency is a risk here, but you could argue that’s the case with 99% of forwards. certainly a lot less exciting than an Argentinian wonder kid in Soule, but I fear we all need to move on from Soule, and start looking at other options.

brookfox Posted 25 July Share Posted 25 July Don't imagine it's a coincidence this link came out just as the Soule deal looked to be collapsing. Not sure he improves our first team significantly but will definitely improve the squad a lot and will probably make 30+ appearances this season injuries permitting.

Their margins are so tight they can only afford to a little bit of actual journalism, so they fill up the rest of the space with absolute shite. A bit sad, really.

Arriba Los Zorros Posted 25 July Share Posted 25 July Never like signing rejects from top clubs. It's a no from me, rather get someone stepping up to our level than a step down. Where's the motivation to play your heart out when you've already failed at a club what would be considered the pinnacle of your career. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
