Gabriel Martinelli

Another youth player glowingly positive about Paul Pogba? Imagine my surprise.
Nice interview. I don't know how long Arsenal can hold him but the boy is talented and the logical thing for Arsenal's new manager would be to sell one of Lacazatte or Aubameyang and promote this kid and use those funds to strengthen the defense. Very curious to see how his career develops.
What a talent.
Nice goal
His poor touch should have been stopped by Kante, but after the slip his composure was top notch, exciting player to watch.
Looks like the real deal unfortunately. Can’t wait for the inevitable week to week comparisons with Greenwood 
Shit first touch, shit celebration.
Great talent, plays with a lot of hunger and determination.

There's no comparison, Martinelli is better.
Good talent undoubtedly but was very lucky with that goal.
He'd have had no chance whatsoever had Kante not done a Stevie G so probably the luckiest goal he'll ever score in that regard but good finish nonetheless.
Hmm, very early to judge, he looks more physically ready but I’ve no idea who’ll turn out better.
it looks like he has 8 lungs
Still only 18, and has already scored something like 10 goals in his debut season. Absolutely baffled why Man Utd rejected him. As a striker and looking at the stats he is clearly better than Martial. His defensive play is brilliant, and his pace is phenomenal.
We what?
edit: Just saw that. Had no idea. Gutted.
Yeah, he looks a player. Took his goal excellently tonight.
OP is clearly this players biggest fanboy.
Looking at the stats Ciro Immobile is clearly better than Cristiano Ronaldo.
I agree.
He's much better than Johan Martial. Different positions though so shouldn't compare.
If he keeps this up there will be rumblings about cashing in on Auba to fund a new centre of defence. I'm not necessarily against that.
Lacazette is average though - why would you even keep him? Does he do anything? I know Auba wants to go but still
Auba is comfortably your best striker and one of the best in the league. I don't think you can sacrifice his proficiency for a relatively unproven u19 prospect.
I do like the look of Martinelli he seems to have alot of dynamics to his game which is integral for the modern forward. He also plays with a careless mentality which is priceless as if he doesn't feel any pressure. The mis-touch he took in the goal is actually what caused Kante to stumble, I think if he had controlled it perfectly Ngolo would have intercepted the play.
What makes you laugh even more is that supposedly he triled for us 4 times and we passed up the opportunity. Also makes me laugh when we released McNeil and favoured someone like Chong. We are not just inept with our first team but also in the youth ranks but these things happen.
Well I can see Auba agitating for a move if a big European club comes calling. The feckers who run the club don't care about results so much as saving cash and cashing in on assets.
Arsenal is a big European club!
Not sure who will turn out to be the better player, but dont feel bad about saying Martinelli is more first team ready right now, mostly because of the pace. Greenwood is brilliant, but his style lends itself to not instantly breaking through like Rashford did (or Martinelli now). Martinelli has explosive pace, Greenwood is more rounded and quick enough, just not quite explosive (which leads to more quieter games while they're young and growing).
Who would wanna sign Aubameyang ?
Barcelona, allegedly. (the Mail)
Anyway, jammiest length of the field goal ever seen that one.
Mainly uses his shins and knees for the first 50 yards, and who is it that falls over? which is funny, tbf

I think he is a good talent and with good coach he can get better.
Hands off. Klopp can plunder the Bundesliga all he likes
Haha! What's his release clause? we'll offer 1 pound more.
Yes, this is the real spirit.
Probably a club needing 20+ goals from their striker for the next couple of seasons?
Hey, it’s Arsenal. You’ll get him for a bag of crispsHaha! What's his release clause? we'll offer 1 pound more.
"Best and nicest midfielder in the world" Kante.
Not a word was said about it after the game BTW.
Who would want to sign one of the best strikers in the world? I can think of a lot of teams actually! Depends on the price
