Personally think he is a great player and with arsenal bidding for pepe I honestly think we will get him.
Even money now with skybet.He's signing isn't he...![]()
An entire team built around him and only last season did he get double figures.
He's not a goalscorer by any stretch of the imagination. He's a pacey trickster who can rattle defences and cause openings elsewhere, but his end product both in terms of goals and raw assists is sorely lacking.
I'm not saying he's a bad player, but he is what he is. If we brought him in, the hope is he's more consistent and/or he opens up space for the likes of Richarlison and Sigurdsson to flourish.
Think that is the idea to open up spaces for others that is why the goals column is not as important compared to out and out strikers.
Proven mate.

Never managed more than 10 goals in 10 seasons, utterly stinking player.
Now you need to tell me how many of those had his number of goals as well.....you know, just for the small matter of accuracy.PLayers who had more assists than him last year:
Eden Hazard Ryan Fraser Christian Eriksen Trent Alexander-Arnold Andrew Robertson Leroy Sané Raheem Sterling Callum Wilson Paul Pogba Alexandre Lacazette David Silva João Moutinho Matt Ritchie Mohamed Salah Sergio Agüero Ashley Westwood Bernardo Silva James Maddison Raúl Jiménez Salomón Rondó Aaron Ramsey Abdoulaye Doucouré Alex Iwobi Anthony Knockaert Gylfi Sigurdsson Son Heung-Min James McArthur Johann Gudmundsson José Holebas Ryan Sessegnon Marcus Rashford Ricardo Pereira Roberto Firmino Willian
70 goals in 10 seasons, utterly laughable figures.
Last 4 seasons in the PL - look at the trend here:An entire team built around him and only last season did he get double figures.

You'll repent like the rest of them.On my mobile now Dave, but there was 31 of them in total
But good old Wilf, the average scoring, average assist making wannabe world class player.
Last 4 seasons in the PL - look at the trend here:
2018/19
Goals 10 assists 10
2017/18
Goals 9 assists 5
2016/17
Goals 7 assists 11
2015/16
Goals 2 assists 5
The lad is 26 and in his prime. We need to get on this. I said before he's going to be some teams Arjen Robben these next three seasons. Get him before a CL team wake up and snatch him.
You'll repent like the rest of them.
If Brands makes this deal happen he's made up for a lot of the wasted time this summer.
