KEVIN SCHADE - Same age as Martinelli - Hasn’t produced better figures than Nelli in a single season - Highest clocked speed in the PL (35.88 km/h) compared to Nelli (36.74 km/h) - Covers avg 10.2km per 90, compared to Nelli’s 11km per 90 Injury record is good, only... one injury (MAJOR) in 5 yrs Thrives on counter attacks (needed at Arsenal) But majorly, nothing shows why this is a better option than keeping Martinelli, unless this is another Raya/Ramsdale situation Brentford is also famous for producing high quality attackers in the last 5 years 🤷🏽‍♂️show more

For Arsenal, this could be one of the reasons why going for Schade would be a great deal Offering him 40/50k per week would be a massive upgrade for him, and a massive downgrade from Martinelli’s 180k for Arsenal

Once I see you using numbers to rate players, I'll stop taking you serious Is it not the same nelli that scored just 1 league goal all season?? Any LW is a fucking upgrade to martinelli right now

Firstly, your last statement is very wrong, and shows that your ideology of wanting a new LW comes from a place of distaste for Martinelli Secondly, I wrote down facts and numbers, which highlights his good and bad aspects If you think numbers don't matter, you're in the wrong sport (because you don't like it, doesn't mean it's wrong) If numbers don't matter, will you gladly sign a player that misses 5 months of football due to injury each season, and say that numbers don't matter? Or sign a winger that hasn't scored a goal in two seasons? Numbers matter, and they always will

@JOS3PH458308 Numbers matter. Martinelli last 2 seasons 9 Prem. goals, Schade 19 Prem. goals.

@JOS3PH458308 That’s a good depiction of numbers story Thanks

Did you see Schade play last szn and the games recently? Hate them analytics who judge everything thru numbers. Its football. Just watch the f'ing game

Schade is better than Martinelli please 😂have you all not seen Martinelli for last two years?

You've not consistently watched Schade in the last two years, that's why you feel otherwise

Well I’ve seen Martinelli and I can tell Schade will be more effective than him

You know what he has? A good touch. And ability to keep the ball without losing it constantly. That alone is an upgrade. He may not score many goals. But he won’t put us at a disadvantage.

Respectfully there are two types of players. Head up and head down. Ill let u guess which one Martinelli is.

😂 stop

Last year he got 11 G/A in the PL and Martinelli for 6, year before he got 13 G/A and Martinelli got 12. So he's done it twice and yet you're counting Martinelli playing in more comps to try and prove a shit point 🤣

You’re the one looking for a shit point I just wrote down facts And clearly ended it stating he could end up being a better option Read to understand, not just to reply

Well you didn't "write facts" did you because Schade has more G/A in the past two seasons 🤣 you also said they were the same age when Martinelli is also older.

On paper he may not be. First there is reason Arsenal want to move on with Martinelli. Again Schade will come with lower wages for sure. Furthermore Arsenal might be thinking of Schade as a make shift till next summer for an Elite LW.

I've been saying it for so long, Gabi has been playing as a 1st choice for 5 years now and he hasn't shown much improvement in his attacking game over those years. So why not just give someone else a chance to prove?

Hence why I said it could be another Ramsdale/Raya situation Schade might be the deal

Tears in 2026 and we're still evaluating modern wingers by raw distance covered per 90. Take the Arsenal rose-tinted glasses off for five minutes and look at profile fit.

I would rather keep martinelli no joke

He’s bang average, if this is Martinelli’s replacement im not gonna forgive Arsenal 🤬🤬🤬

You're here talking about speed like we're trying to sign a runner. Did you even watch schade last season? He's twice the player martinelli is now

Well I get the point but we can’t judge with stats cos the team this guy plays in is not on same level with Arsenal.

Exactly, stats just shows what is Schade playing with a better team that has more control most likely would improve his numbers

That guy has got those numbers in a team like brentford. Compared to martinelli, i still feel that it's a better signing but yes we expected a better signing than schade.

Yeah, a change of team to a more dominant team might increase his numbers Let's see if we sign him

Cause martinelli's growth has gone backwards whether you blame arteta,his system,his tactics or martinelli himself he has stagnated and gone backwards hes struggling to beat his man struggling to put in decent crosses looks lost with a low to mid block he needs a change and reset

Only issue is schade is fed by brentford midfield while nelli by Arsenal midfield

Arsenal midfield has upgraded recently, so both players will do better with this Arsenal midfield

you guys are not getting the point, Martinelli has zero wing play, he just had to go not because he's not a good player but because his a very bad "winger" he has zero impact of the wings for three years now and thats very bad

Last paragraph ✅

🫂 It’s like you’re the only one that saw it

This brother is more decisive in the final third whether you like it or not moreover in a poorer team

I don’t have a bone to pick with Schade I just wrote down the numbers 🙌🏽

Nelli is far better than this brother.

I won’t say far better though But Schade in a bigger team could pull up better numbers Also, he will be less comfortable than Martinelli which would push him to strive harder Everything is probability

I don’t think so my brother, he’s not that good. He’s not a player with insane mentality like that.

Isn’t he playing on the right side? He looks like just speed without dribbling and plays on right side where we have Saka. We needed dribbling not just running and they missed Barcola, Godts, Ndiaye, etc

He plays on the left but drifts to the right occasionally

Ndiaye>>>

I agree, but Schade beats him for pace

Well, looks like we won’t be getting any

lol...is there any credible linking us with him....our fans are deluded

He can play all positions offensively, better in the air, better dribbking, better awarness of space

I love nelli but he scored more pl goals last season.

The goal is to upgrade the position not to make a sideways move.

Would you rather we let nelli go and don't sign anyone? Or should we cancel Nelli's move? Who would rather take at this very point?

Doesn't matter if he's better than Martinelli or not at this point. Sometimes It's just right to move on from a player and try someone else. It's time for a completely fresh start on the left.

This is exactly why I want him at Arsenal Kevin Schade to Arsenal will be a plus Highest clocked speed??? Distance covered for a winger as a measure of success? The main difference here should be the footballing brain

We won’t be signing Schade - not a chance

Martinelli only had one year left on his contract and probably wasn't willing to extend unless he was offered the same terms which his form didn't warrant.

You would be foolish if you thought keeping Martinelli was an option, cause we would have to give him at least 4 years contract and increase his salary for him to sign a new deal Even if it's a short term downgrade it would still suit Arsenal more
