Good luck with this guy gooners.
Feel really uneasy about making him the main man. I get that thereās more to life than goals and assists but we just spent the back half of the season trying to pick kernels of corn out of the shit performances a non-scoring striker was turning in.
I hope they know what theyāre doing. I donāt doubt his talent for a second, but I just hope weāve got a plan to maximize it.
Well, if it makes it any better, heās one of the best at it in PL history soā¦

Yeah, but we need goals and assists, right? There was so much talk about how once we get a real striker the system opens up. Iām optimistic that heāll come in with a guy like Raphina who can add more goals. That way if he is āonlyā chipping in with 15 goals in the league, we can still make progress.
Yes, we do. And statistically his G+A p90 are in the Top 10 in PL history. Heās in lists with Suarez and Henry. He certainly hasnāt reached that level, not even close but there could be a world-class forward here ready to explode. Weāll see.
It feels like he came off the bench quite a bit though. Iāve seen those stats. They are good stats and they make me hopeful weāll get good production from him, but we canāt expect him to put up insane numbers if weāre relying on our midfield from last year.
ANNOUNCE!!

Or he could be the key to raise the level of those around him. Lots of talent but also known to be hard worker. Usually a rare combination. Heās played for the best and most competitive side in the world since coming to England, under the best manager in the world, whoās very know to be cutthroat.
Hard worker that can set the tone up front, his former manager called him best in the world in that regard. Smart movement and awareness in and around the box. He can carry the ball and create stuff out of nothing.
He is very much an all-around forward and I think the fact that he was in high demand says it all.
Now watch him get a career ending injury by October after a bright start at Arsenal.

Those stats also get skewed towards players who are more bit part. Iām fine with the signing just surprised we got conned into paying so much with all these fake links to other clubs.
He also did only score in 5 of the 28 games he played last season so he needs to do a lot more when heās the main man here, hopefully he will as our recent signings have been good on the whole.
