    Chelsea could have and should have signed a proper grown up striker for the last 3 years but didn't.
    W have hit the jackpot with Joao Pedro who isn't in that league, but with the juvenile, untested Delap now injured and Jackson a liability, why the **** have we not sorted this simple problem out ???

    Osimhen is the best striker , available and eager to sign,
    Gyokeres maybe the next best, gone to a competitor.
    Sesko, ditto. we blew it.
    Ekiteke, already on the list of PL scorers.

    So what are we doing ??
    **** all.
    We buy Delap. Unproven ,young ,old fashioned, overeager barging type trying to be a tough guy, now out for 2 months after 1 start with a serious hamstring tear. What a joke. How can a 20 ish player tear a hamstring if he's been properly trained? He can't without extreme pressure ,which didn't happen. So medical staff under scrutiny,
    Our problems on player fitness are revealing. We have had a ridiculous number of young players constantly injured. Get in our previous medical staff, Marescas' are rubbish.

    A lot of people were saying that to be honest before Arsenal signed him, and many thought, with the way Arsenal play, Sesko would have been the better fit as he is better in the air and works more to bring the others in the front three with hold up play, kinda like the job Firminho did at Liverpool. Gyokeres is more of an "off the shoulder" type striker who will make runs and needs service to his feet from midfield, and in Eze, Madueke and Saka, Arsenal already have that in abundance, so I am also not convinced he was right man for them. People just looked at this goal record in Portugal and creamed themselves, but I dont know if that will translate with this Arsenal team in this league.
