I’m not convinced, well, not at that price, which is really where the negativity becomes rooted with the fan base. At 45m, he’d have largely gone under the radar and viewed as a good option for squad depth.
There’s a feeling that Arteta has to prove his worth and instead of perhaps gradually blending him in, he’s just launched him in, centre stage.
Rice has the personality to ignore his fee, Havertz clearly doesn’t.
The fact that Saka offered him that penalty speaks volumes. Meanwhile, Arteta just ploughs on with his obstinate beliefs and may ironically be ruining a good player ?
