One of the reasons why I was so frustrated about this Eze deal was because it was the easiest slam-dunk for us. There wasn't loads of competition, he's a quality player and he's boyhood Arsenal supporter. Therefore, he would have come to us if we'd formalised our interest. But we never seemed to after having initial talks back in June. So the fact Spurs had seemingly had a free run at a player that we should have been signing too was extremely frustrating. But now we're moving for him (and he's willing to join us thus rendering all of Spurs' hard work for the past 2 weeks useless), it couldn't have happened in a better way. It does irk me a bit that this is only happening because of Havertz's injury. It shouldn't have taken Havertz getting injured for us to move for Eze, as we needed him regardless. But now that it's (seemingly) getting done, I am happy. I don't think it's a like-for-like replacement. I think Gyokeres, Trossard (as a false 9) and Merino will be out backup CF options for now. Eze will be playing on the left or as a 10. He's a multifunctional player, so that's another reason why he's useful.
Eze is top quality and he can step it up another level at Arsenal too Love the way Spurs fans thought he was going to them, until we came back in and Arsenal fan Eze was like ‘Nah **** that, I’m going to Arsenal’ I mean, who wouldn’t ?
