Not really.
He's made 54 appearances and scored 16 goals in the last 2 seasons. Not as many as we'd like, but I'm pretty sure he was fit in those games.
I've no doubt Arn will delight at times.
I'm just concerned about the rest of the time. It's alright for him not to be constantly be magic, but we aren't good enough for him to be a passenger 3 games out of 4, particularly with defensive responsibilities.
But let's hope he does the business big time ;ok
I've just done it again with Arnautovic, Antonio, Ayew, Feghouli and Lanzini.
Basically, what you see from this, is that Arnautovic performs at a much higher standard than Feghouli and Ayew. When Lanzini scores or assists he tends to dominate the game, whereas the others are capable of just popping up with a goal and little else on occasion.
Antonio is basically the most consistent, but Arnie and Lanzini alongside him would make a potent and pretty consistent forward line.
Andy Carroll has played in 45 . 17 as a sub.
Basically started 28 games.
in my book that means he is injured a lot of the time!!
Don't think anyone would argue AC hasn't been injured a lot.
However, he has played more than some seem to want to admit, and been an important player for us.
I've always wanted to see AC in a front 2 with a player like Hernandez.
I know it's a big IF, but imagine if he was fit for most of the season playing with Chicarito...
We got cut apart so many times with any two from Obiang, Kouyate and Noble in a CM combo and signing Zabaleta, Arnie and Hernandez won't plug that gap.
The problem is it's a big IF with AC. It's so embarrassing with him that the club's updates on his recoveries are vague at best. The club and in particular Sully must be pretty fed up.
No one at all would question how immense he is when on the field, but as the club's alleged top earner it is not sustainable for him consistently break and be out for lengthy spells IMO
Another sad day in the world of football
Fonte, Collins, Reid, Ogbonna, Burke is enough IMO
I agree with the need of another center midfielder. A genuine DM would be perfect
There was an article on the BBC about how spurs typically leave their business late, and I think that will happen again.
They'll be fine, and right up there again, imo
Consensus seems to be it'll be either Carlos Vela or Jurgen Damm, both of which are wingers.
If there's any truth in this at all then I think we could be saying goodbye to both Snodgrass and Feghouli.
He hopes for no more than top 6. Whereas with Walker, and White Hart Lane, he'd not feel top 2 or 3 was too much to hope for.
