Depends on the team and the system.
The likes of Drogba and Cantona won titles without hitting double digits in the league.

Unfortunately, barring a miracle, it feels like the only hope we have.

A miracle would be him coming back and playing another 7 games this season.
The issue is that I don’t think it’s as simple as playing through niggles because he’s suffered a number of relatively serious injuries in different muscles.
Playing ‘with a niggle’ may indicate that these injuries haven’t truly healed, and by playing too soon it may lead to the a long-term injury reoccurring.
We need him back, but we need him back long-term rather than a game or two, where he’s not at full fitness, before breaking down once again.
If that means we have to show some patience, well, we need to grin and bear it rather piling more pressure on his shoulders and whatnot.
As @ToffeeTim said, we’re in a position where we’re relying on his return, so we need to make sure that he comes back to stay in the team.
Short-term pain, long-term gain and all that jazz…

How good is he though, even in his best season under Carlo he only hit 16 in the league and was out scored by Bamford who is a league 1 level striker. He seems a nice bloke and I don't like some of the stick he takes over the clothes stuff but he is massively overrated by some of our fans imo.

I agree it's hard to judge his true level given his injury record. I think given his potential upside a club would give him a go. I'm sure Forest would chuck a bid in for example.
Really disappointing, we really need him, now looks out of Arsenal to, we're not getting the full story here.
Lunacy our strategy seems to be we have Dom - sure we're grand. Stupid selling Gordon as well, somehow we managed to enter the January window desperate for attacking option and made ourselves weaker.

Erm well Lukaku got more than 15 in the league twice, and the only other player to do that for us was Kanchelskis in 95-96...

Got nothing to do with his injury record mate, I just don't think he is that good tbh. To me he is just a standard level PL striker, not rubbish but not amazing either, just in the middle. I do hope for his own sake his injuries sort out, I work as a physiologist and over the last 1 1/2 years I have seen too many promising sports persons have to knock their chosen sport on the head because of prolonged injury issues. I only wish him well on that front.

you just can't handle the fact that people don't rate him can you?

I am sticking to the Brentford game i predicted last Tuesday at best that he will be back for, that was based on rumors he was out for around a month
Or you're just really trying hard to devalue his contributions for us.

I'm sure there's more to this. Just doesn't seem right

We could really do with a 'middling" premier league level striker right now
