    Pep saw that and put him on the right wing then shipped him out because he wasn’t happy playing there. nothing new.

    I’ve said it since arsenal signed him, he’s not the player they need in the position he wants to player

    Arsenal should go all out for toney in Jan, he’s a difference make for arsenal (hopefully they fail in Their pursuit)

      I mean if you played in a system that actually utilized him well with guys like vini and now Martinelli plus others you guys would be walking goals into the back of the net but your defense and midfield also need to step up

    We look so good when he’s our striker. He doesn’t need to score goals. He allows the team to build through the middle and maintain possession - which is huge for the style of play Arteta wants.

    Tbf it’s because he’s world class at pretty much everything else. Just his finishing lets him down.

    I grew up watching R9 bulldozing elite clubs and national teams with ease and putting up insane numbers despite suffering potentially career-ending injuries, it’s actually sad to see the state of Brazilian strikers in recent years.

      Because of what they are actually doing when they are not scoring, Jesus overall game is vastly superior , so he might not score but still helps the team win , Richy does nothing if he does not score

    He was happy to let everyone know how many matches in a row Brazil has lost at the Maracana to Argentina though.

    You’d think after the last World Cup exit they might start internalizing some humility.

    He’s a great player but it’s just such a hard position to fit him into. He’s been good at arsenal but they obviously need a 9 (personally think they should try trossard more) but it’s becoming obvious why City sold him. He’s too good not to play but he also is hard to fit into a system unless you have two very good inside forwards (I’m talking Salah and mane sort of levels)
