Roncero's Plea: Loan Arsenal's Merino & Zubimendi to Real Madrid!
9 Oct
Summary
- Spanish journalist questions benching of key international midfielders.
- He suggests loaning them to Real Madrid if Arsenal won't play them.
- Both players have struggled for regular starts since the new season began.
Spanish journalist Tomás Roncero has expressed bewilderment over Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta's selection of midfielders Martín Zubimendi and Mikel Merino. Roncero questioned why these players, instrumental in Spain's recent World Cup triumph, are not consistently featuring in Arsenal's starting eleven.
Despite their national team successes, both Zubimendi and Merino have found regular first-team opportunities scarce since the current season commenced. Their limited involvement at club level has drawn scrutiny from Spanish football observers who recognize their significant talent and potential contribution to Arsenal's ambitions.
Roncero suggested that clubs like Real Madrid would readily welcome such talented players, even proposing a loan move if Arsenal were unwilling to utilize them. He emphasized their capabilities, labeling them "footballing machines" who deserve more prominent roles.
