He scored 3 in 17 all from the bench. Longest game he had was 81'. Apparently Leeds fans were pissed off with Bielsa for not starting him over Bamford.

I didn't research his leeds record very thoroughly! mind you, I suppose a counter argument is that a quick look on an arsenal forum seems to indicate they'd be delighted to get shot of him. tend to agree that ekitike would be the better punt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to pop up on the radar every 6 months by scoring a couple of goals in some cup tie, and go back to doing nothing. Went to Leeds aged 20 having only played 19 first team appearances - that tells me a lot, that at 20 years old he's barely kicked a ball. In my mind, he's 22 and has never really developed into anything near what people seem to perceive. On loan at Leeds, 3 goals in 17 in the most attacking team in the Division by a mile - goes back to Arsenal and has 4 goals in 34 appearances in the PL.... 9 goals in 16 in the Cups. Would rather us go after someone like Cole Palmer from Man City - highly unlikely Guardiola/MC are wanting to loan him out at all, but he looks far superior to Nketiah, and is U21 so wouldn't take up a PL registration spot. We got told right at the start of the window that Cole Palmer wasn't available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTF 6129 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 6 hours ago, Xa9as said: Embarrassing how much he carries on when he gets fouled, tackled or things don't go his way. Took him a minute against Leeds to get back into position after he wasn't given his penalty... just flopped to the floor like a toddler then waddled back to our half whilst Leeds built an attack. Went chasing after the ref flailing his arms went his shirt was tugged a bit... Even last season when that midget Lamptey ran all over him in first 10mins against Brighton home he seemed to have a strop and down tools for rest of the game. All his carry on is such a cliche and does nothing whatsoever for him or the team. Raphinha at weekend showed how a much better example of how a skilful dribbling wide player should be playing. Yep, the fact that he carried on like that earlier is why he didn't getvthe penalty given IMO. Sign if a shit ref (and VAR too) but he/we missed out on multiple other free kicks as well because of his continued strop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
