Morning all.
I promise this will be my last moan and grown about Arsenal selling Gabriel Martinelli but after his exit was confirmed yesterday, I just wanted to reflect on his time at Arsenal and remember his moments of greatness. I guess what I’m really struggling to come to terms with is how could be deemed less important than his right wing counterpart and no, I don’t mean Bukayo Saka.
Frustrating as he might have been at times, although he’s been far from alone in that category, when he was good, he was very good. I think a trick was missed with him though as my thinking has always been that he’d make a great striker. He was certainly a great defender when that side of the game was required.
I’m going to miss him. As he’s said in his farewell message to the fans, “from 35 to 11, once a Gunner, always as Gunner”.
Thanks for everything Gabriel, you leave as a Champion….
