    He kind of fell off didn’t he, but he looked great for the early parts of the season 

     

    We should be in for him if we are also looking for a younger striker. He was 19 years old at the start of last season. Think he's showed more than enough. Has tailed off a bit as you'd expect, with this being his first consistent top flight experience. I'd be glad with the hype dying down around him, as it would give us more of a chance.

     

    This profile of player are the types that Eddie really tends to do very well with i.e. younger guys with potential that need hands on coaching and more instruction and direction, and so we should be looking to take full advantage of that.

    Been surprised by him last few. We were linked in January and would've been quite underwhelmed by him but he does seem to lead the line well as you say.

     

    I think we'd have been far more dangerous and much happier if we had brought him in instead of Wood.

     

    Presses very well, runs the channels and gets in behind, can take people on with the ball, and can drop into space and link play a bit too.

    I think Nketiah might be worth pursuing. Not exactly top pedigree but he looks like he's got potential.

     

    Has really looked good of late. Such a threat in behind and running with the ball. Going to be on a free too, could be a very shrewd pick up at the right time of development for him.

    Really good pass by Elneny that, Nketiah should have hit the target at least

     

    Did everything perfectly up to the final shot, but loved the run to get free and the run once he had the ball. 

     

    Think he's looked very dangerous. Think he's looked dangerous in the run of games he's got for Arsenal of late. 

     

    Going to be a good pick up on a free for someone at the end of the season.

    That was against the side 20th in the table and basically already relegated… but I don’t disagree with you :)

     

    Yeah, I know, that's why I said they were bad in my post. Be interesting to see how he fares further up the pitch against some middle of the pack teams as we wrap up the season now.

    Needs to play in a central 2 or midfield 3. Nullified out wide. 

     

    He had a stormer on the left just last week man.

     

    I'd like to see him there against more of the other teams that aren't quite as bad as Norwich, or as good as Liverpool.

     

    He moves the ball about so much better than ASM from the left when he cuts in.

    cant have it all i suppose...he is skillful and very composed on the ball but really is lacking athleticism. Faster players can run past him like nothing

     

    I'm not so sure. Lets see what he looks like after a full pre-season and a fresh start next season.

     

    Last season I thought Thiago at Liverpool looked way off the pace, and was a really poor addition for them by Klopp, as he wouldn't be able to play with the same energy needed for the high tempo style of Liverpool. Complete different story this season for them with a full pre season of preparation.

     

    I think we'll see the same kind of improvement and adjustment for Bruno athletically. He's already shown the quality, and physically I think he'll just get better and better.

    I think it's pretty clear he can't play as a no 9. We looked all over the place with him up front.

     

    His best moment was when Wood came on and he set him away, but aside from that he had a bad one today, losing the ball all over the place.

     

    Albeit against one of the best teams in Europe, where nobody did well.

     

    Looked even worse when he got switched out to the left hand side.

    Was it another Ballon d'Or winning performance from Maxi?

     

    :lol:

     

    Really not sure what happens with him this summer. He is so untidy, wild touches, wild passes, wild shooting, all very messy.

     

    If he's happy to be a squad player, maybe keep him as a wildcard off the bench and to be mostly used against poorer opposition.

     

    The top teams deal with him so incredibly easily.

    I wouldn’t even keep Chris Wood as third choice striker next season. Don’t give him a squad number and promote someone from the youth team instead. He’s one of the worst players I’ve seen up front for us.

     

    Was really a bit of an emergency purchase when things were looking very dire, but yeah, don't like the look of him at all, unless he is upfront with another striker that drops in and holds up the ball, as was the case at Burnley. He cannot play upfront alone at all.
