You may as well include Harry Kane 0 in 0. ;lol
Luke's comment is a case in point.
What those stats don't show is how many 'good chances' a striker had (and how many he scored) and how much possession the team had. Or if he was brought on in the last 2 minutes to run the clock down. Or if we were playing with 10 men.
A striker doesn't score goals on their own.
So if you want to argue that we need a striker who can achieve a better than 1 in 4 goal rate, you also (probably, depending on the bigger picture stats) need to argue that we need a better squad.
To do otherwise is just simplistic.
He can play centre and also does a job out wide and works all the time and has a good header, he also made Valencia look a better player.
Him back will give us a big boost....
Would we be happy with them?
However, I would like to see us maybe try a little harder for Bakambu if we can, he may not have EPL experience and is perhaps a risk but he's a player I really rate highly and has got 10+ goals in his last 3 seasons and is only 25
It's a more expensive move than Gray but it's a move I'd like to see, show a bit of ambition
Lyon President Jean-Michel Aulas says Alexandre Lacazette to Arsenal for €50m will be completed within the next 2 days
Really good bit of business that, such a low fee for a player with 16 goals, only 21 and part of the la masia academy
LIVERPOOL TO BATTLE HAMMERS?
Benfica are braced for a "significant offer" for Mexico striker Raul Jimenez, according to reports in Portugal.
A Bola says the man who cost almost £19m from Atletico Madrid is up for sale and claims Liverpool and West Ham are keen.
He'll get more games at West Ham, but more goals? I'd personally expect to score more goals as Arsenal back-up striker than as West Ham's first-choice.
;hmm
