Honestly think we should just move on from Nketiah in the winter window if we get a good offer. He doesn’t offer anything. He’s not a good finisher, he can’t hold the ball up, he can’t come deep to build, and his decision making is awful.
The guy is 24. I don’t think he’s developed much since his debut. Sure there could be arguments before that he’s not had enough minutes, but we’ve seen more than enough of him now.
Limited player but one we could get good money, I’d move on
Replacing him will be expensive, Eddie has played a lot of minutes so a replacement is needed and the way the reporting has been going we have no money to spend unless we sell players and selling Eddie alone won’t generate the money to sign a new forward that’s an improvement, we’d have to sell at least one more player which would weaken the squad. Eddie will be here at least until next summer I think.
I understand wanting another striker but saying he hasn’t developed much since his debut 6 years ago is not true. He’s like it or not been kinda an integral part of our season and played a lot of minutes so far and we’re still invincible.
Point being he’s alright, could definitely be improved upon but by all accounts that won’t be possible until summer 2024.
in a sense we have replaced eddie with havertz, now the name of the game is finding a world class LCM. (also i havent fully given up on the kai as CM dream but we can’t afford such fanciful and long term experimentation at our level of play and result expectation)
