Not convinced about him as a striker and would rather we signed an out and out forward who is about goals, he'll score a few through the middle no doubt but his finishing is unpredictable to say the least.

I think his finishing is pretty clinical through the middle. He was very unlucky with that second chance the other day....hit is perfect, but the keep made a blinding save.
He's very dangerous in the box IMO.
He ain't dangerous on the wings....unless he finally decides to man up and push the ball past the defender....which I've never understood why he doesn't. JUST GO FUCKING PAST HIM YOU SPEEDY LITTLE CUNT!!!
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
I'd play him upfront but that means we've got arshavin and gervinho on the wings which appears quite weak whereas rvp up top is the best we've got. Even if we were to play 442, arshavin would not offer the defensive support theo does.
Best in the position he's currently in as his runs and finishing are top notch, but his close control and strength are pretty poor.
Play him as we played Ljungberg, imo.
The King Is Back.
Not sure what needs to change. Our style of play allows him to temporary play where ever he wants across the front 3. Not good enough to play as lone striker as he doesn't have Hernandez of Owens aerial abitity.
rvp drops off a fair bit from his lone striker role so if we were to revert to 442 then he would fill the bergkamp role with theo being the legend henry. arsh and gerv to be the equviliants of freddie and pires. So if that worked with pires hardly tracking back, which would be the same as arshavin now, whats to say it couldnt work again. if only things were this simple though!
We'll have to disagree on this, he'll hit the odd one well but will also completely fluff quite a few.
His speed will always mean he'll get chances if the right ball is played, but in key games where taking your chances matters I wouldn't put money on him to take his chances.
