Far more talented than Heskey ever wasvand with Henry honing his skills I expect him to improve. Easy to forget how young he is too due to his size.

I remember him in the Euros I think, one of the worst performances by a striker I've seen, awful movement, terrible touch, messed up all his chances, I know he's young but the way he plays doesn't bode well, he's clumsy and cumbersome and not the most intelligent football in terms of movement and runs either.
He'd cost a lot anyway, for that kind of money would rather spend a bit more and sign someone who is more naturally gifted.
I want to see what our club looks like without Wenger. He's unable to play a system that gets the very best out of players.
We all want that.
He's in no way a direct comparison but I'd much rather we spend huge money on an elite talent like that Mbappe lad at Monaco.Quote:

He's the one that is worth breaking the bank for IMO...
I would agreeQuote:

Lukaku is a big risk at that amount of money. That kid Mbappe wants to go to Marketing and they want him so that's a done deal some time in the future.
Yeah I agree. Lukaku is decent enough but not worth the risk. IMO He would just be like a more mobile version of Giroud in our system.Quote:

He wouldn't be able to drive the insult deep into all parties if he kept his derisory offers a secret,Quote:
