    His start at Arsenal reminds me a lot of Giroud tbh. You can tell he feels the pressure of needing to perform immediately while knowing patience is limited, and he’s been solid from the beginning and improving every week, away at Newcastle he looked great imo, once he feels comfortable in the team and has gained the trust of fans I think he will fly.

      There are countless cases.

      Nacho, Koscielny, Alex Song and many others were all so hated when they first started but slowly came around to become great squad members.

        Just wondering, when these players came in were we in a title race? Did they have the benefit of starting slow due to the fact that we could afford to lose points?

        I really think it’s his price tag that’s the issue. I don’t think he’ll ever live up to it, but he’ll come good, and wee going to look back at now and think we were crazy to doubt him
