He'll come good.

People are always jumping to conclusions. It's not even half a season yet.

Wirtz, Isak, Gyok boi, all will show up.

It kind of depends on expectations to see what happens to him. 30 goals in Portugal has very, very rarely translated to 30 goals anywhere else. You get one Falcao in every 10 transfers. But he's had some turn around to the lad who was okay at Cov a few years ago so kudos for that.

Darwin Nunez was still extremely useful for Liverpool despite a much lesser output than Portugal. In fact Nunez has everything a forward needs until it comes to his finishing ability. Problem is it's difficult to quantify that when it comes to justifying a transfer fee for a striker. Goals is the only real currency that satisfies fans and critics. Gyokeres issue is that aside from the lack of goal threat, he's barely able to get any touches let alone make an impact outside of goals.

They don't play to his strengths and I don't think he's good enough to justify changing the way they play for that reason either. I don't see this one working out, especially with Arteta who is known for not getting the best out of #9s.

Arteta has screwed up a lot this season and Arsenal's attacking play has been very bad. This guy makes tons of good runs that get ignored. Definitely not using him for his strengths. The injury didnt help either.

Hope Arteta gets them playing better soon, because I dont want to see City winning another trophy.

Liga NOS strikers are frauds.

Which is why Falcao is one of my favorite strikers. He was the outlier. A proper beast at Atletico too and even Monaco before he tore his ACL and fucked up his rehab to reach the World Cup which led to him losing all his agility and speed.....You cannot recover from a torn ACL in 6 months without a lasting impact. That injury takes closer to 9 months.

Such an underrated player he was man. Could have been in discussions with Suarez, Lewandowski and others.
