There was a time a couple of years ago when Wenger thought this boy was the next Thierry Henry. Mate of mine who was working at Arsenal told me this boy is going to be something else. Just shows you.
Oh for fecks sake, he might look shite for Arsenal but I couldnt give a toss what he has done for them. Big difference from Champions League to bottom of Championship.
We are not bloody Arsenal. I know it hurts, but we are also a million light years from Palace - who he recently played for. Our standards are slightly lower I would argue......
Seems to me the Gnarby stuff was all rumour but even if not...why is it so surprising that a team fighting for promotion would get the better player? People need to calm down a bit. It looks like Riga is cutting out the deadwood and signing the players he wants.

Is it possible for our standards to be lower tha Palace?

Youbshould be flagged for that there is no where lower than hoaring to that shit hole
Are we seriously not wanting than Arsenal just because he's goal record isn't good!!? He's an Arsenal player isn't that good enough these days??
Quite. When our options are Igor -fit now, but hasn't been since Oct 2014, Lookman - totally unproven, albeit talented, Makienok- 3 good games all season and Reza - insert comment here, we should be grateful for what we get
One further thought, this sends a strong statement to those around us.
We're shopping @ Arsenal... and have just trounced one of our rivals away from home!! MK Dons are trying to get players from Queens Park Rangers Bristol City are trying to get everyone but being rejected by everyone including League One Rotherham and Bolton are doing nothing!! (the latter can do nothing)
Not good enough Red, Reza could do most of that with his eyes shut and his legs tied together.
Nice to see the usual warm Valley welcome being extended. 2 years ago everyone was being sick in their pants cos we'd signed some Polish no-mark from the Dutch second division, but we get linked with a player from one of the top sides in Europe, with numerous youth level caps for one of the leading nations in world football and he's deemed too shit for us.

The lads got a bit of top level experience and when I've seen him play his finishing isn't great but his link up play looks decent. He might flourish at this level. Certainly don't think it's the worst signing, especially if Igor stays fit to put the ball in the net.
When he was @ Ligue 2 level with Auxerre he scored 10-goals in 13-games (which alerted him to Arsenal)... Thats the same level as Andy Delort and we were needing the tissues with his scoring record.
He always knew where the goal was, he just needs to be trusted to find it again... Do we seriously think that Pardew was the right manager to take him under his wing last season, he's terrible when it comes to man management, just look at how he handled Patrick Bamford who ran away with the Championship Player of the Year last season

Exactly. Don't expect him to score bundles of goals but he could do well with Igor. Let's give him our support. He gets enough fans on his back with that fickle lot at Arsenal.

Firstly, we haven't signed him yet and don't know whether there's anything in it.
Secondly, please don't fall for the 'just because they are with a big club they must be good' stream of thought. Frimpong, Razak, Ceballos, Dean Parrett, Davide Petrucci to name just five from recent years to have proved definition not the case.

Hell I dont think he's going to be a superstar... Just don't think its wise to write him off before we see him play

Hopefully Riga can get something out of him like he has done with Bergdich who was a lost cause to many experts (including myself) on here

That don't make her a hoe no
So long as he makes a nuisance of himself (to the opposition) allowing the likes of Vetokele / Lookman to score, again that is good enough for me.
Provided he doesnt run about as slow as Vaz Te, and actually gives a shit, again that better than what we had!!

Charlton Life logic at its finest.

Save the frustration for the protests.

I'd be surprised if he scores goals to be honest
