PL Striker Transfer Grades

That was quite a known goal, wasn't it?

ESPN FC
PL Striker Transfer Grades

I mean, a lot of it's down to Arsenal and the way they play, but listen, they knew that.

ESPN FC
PL Striker Transfer Grades

They knew that when they signed him and they knew what kind of player he was.

ESPN FC
PL Striker Transfer Grades

He does look a bit like a bull in a china shop at the moment.

ESPN FC
PL Striker Transfer Grades

He looks out of place at times in this Arsenal side because he's completely different to everybody else.

ESPN FC
PL Striker Transfer Grades

But maybe that was going to be the X factor that they had somebody completely different.

ESPN FC
PL Striker Transfer Grades

But I just don't understand.

ESPN FC
PL Striker Transfer Grades

So there's a bit of both for me here.

That's why he was just a C. No better, no worse.

ESPN FC
PL Striker Transfer Grades

Was he ever a number nine, though, that was going to get all these goals?

ESPN FC
PL Striker Transfer Grades

Well, I think when we saw him at the Club World Cup, we thought he was, wasn't he?

ESPN FC
PL Striker Transfer Grades

Well, Danny Welbeck did that job at Brighton, and Joe Pedro did it now and again, but he floated around, which is something we discussed when Chelsea signed him.

Shaq had mentioned playing

ESPN FC
PL Striker Transfer Grades

Behind the striker in the hole, he's a guy that floats around the field, and when you're doing that, I do agree, I think he's not being brilliant, but he's something different for them, and I just never felt he was going to be the guy that came in and got 20 goals, or 20-odd goals.

ESPN FC
PL Striker Transfer Grades

I just don't think he's that type of player, if I'm being honest with you.
