Seriously, I have come across many posts criticising Madueke move to Arsenal as if the guy is really that bad. It's purely hypocritical to defame an innocent player just because Arsenal is yet to sign their most preferred striker and Madueke transfer happens like a magic all of a sudden. He's not as good as Saka but at least, he can be his back up in case of injury. Madueke is a versatile player who can also use his both feet and can be a threat on the counter attack. Arsenal fans can only say they are not happy with his transfer but saying Madueke is not good is hypocritical and unfair.

Gooners wanted Gyokeres/Eze, but it takes ages for Arteta to complete it while he delivers Madueke in days. Their team also overpaid Madueke with 48 million + 4 million add ons. It makes all of gooners are being so mad to their clubs, then being so negative to the Madueke. What a rare moment to see that.

Hasn't Arsenal been in negotiations with Sporting for a long time regarding their desire to sign Gyokeres? Yes, the negotiations were indeed tough regarding the price but I think Arsenal really didn't want to sacrifice much for Gyokeres. Meaning, they didn't really want to address their core squad needs and turn to Maudeke, who is essentially a winger. Let's look at their previous success in signing Zubimendi and now Madueke. With these two players prices, Arsenal should have been able to sign Gyokeres. I don't know, I'm not a fan of theirs but I find their actions in the current transfer market strange.
