He'll have a very good season next year.
No, he is not elite, and I do not know if he will be elite.So you concede he isn’t an elite striker? You don’t think we need one? I think we do if we want to win league or Cl
I came across the situation I explained above. Look at the situation and Havertz here.What's the great thing about Havertz as a false 9 that might not have been mentioned, is his stamina.
Well of course stamina has been mentioned, but my point is that when he drops deeper, holds the ball and gives it to wings for example, then he is still able to make those runs with his speed and arrive to the box either on time, or with a late run. This is something that Lacazette could not do in his later years, and he wasn't a target man either.
He can also be very tricky with the ball when he has confidence. For example against Tottenham before his goal I think, he was in the center circle against two players. He took the ball with a small touch, basically giving him just enough time to bounce the ball over the next guy, and Arsenal got the attack which resulted in a corner and a goal.
Lol. Are you smart enough to look at the goals and assists he has in games he played 9? Or is that too much for you?34 matches and 12 goals is elite?
You aren’t allowed to score as an attacking midfielder? He played as an attacker. He wasn’t playing goalie or CBLol. Are you smart enough to look at the goals and assists he has in games he played 9? Or is that too much for you?
So strikers and attacking midfielders (on average) score at the same rate?You aren’t allowed to score as an attacking midfielder? He played as an attacker. He wasn’t playing goalie or CB

Look he has been a striker in this league for 4 years now his best season ever is this year. 9 games isn’t much of a sample and seems to me that people are cherry picking his stats. I have seen nothing to convince me he is good enough as a striker and he is worse as an attack midfielder. He looks good compared to jesus this year who has been awful; and Eddie as well has been awful. Mik likes him will play him as first choice. If he bags 15 or more in league next year then you can see an upward trend and improvement. 9 matches isn’t enough for me to be convinced. But i will say he is much better than first half of season, which he was horrific. And by comparison to his time at Chelsea he is better by the numbers. You guys say his 9 matches have convinced you; hasn’t convinced me; end of story
The reason why Kai is producing is because he finally has friends here. Before he was playing video games in a blackhole by himself but now he's playing with the crew.

...unless we can sell one for decent moneyKai has played 8 of the last 10 games for us as a striker. He’s scored 7 and assisted 5 in that period of time.
These are top striker numbers, if he can continue this we will not be signing a striker.
The best Arsenal teams have always been super connected and together on and off the pitch, whether it be the home grown brigade of the 69-73 period, the tuesday clubbers under GG, the more civilised dinners with families vibe of peak Wenger ball or this current bunch of generous personalities. Victoria Concordia Crescit and all thatGabriel giving it the before Havertz for his goal against Spuds was beautiful.
The team cohesion atm seems fantastic. Credit to Uncle Mikel for making it a priority.
