Like jesusJust because he wasn't great for us during his two seasons here it hardly makes him a bad player. He just didn't really adapt to the English game, as is the case for a lot of foreign players and especially South Americans.

Not enough laughing at Gooners going on in here lately. Sickens me.
Ooooo they're buying a couple of overpriced Brazilians and a kid from Porto's under 11s!
They're still soft. They'll still crumble under pressure. They'll win two and then lose 4 in a pattern all season.
Let them keep wasting their money and keep regressing.

They are so deluded. “Woolwich is back”
If we pay £60+ million for him then I'll say he's overpriced.And if we sign Raphina ahead of them will you still be saying he's over-priced? Or will he suddenly turn into a great purchase?
The same as United will if they sign de Jong and Anthony no doubt. Isn't that generally what all football fans do at every club, hype their own team too much? We had people here calling Bryan Gil the next Messi after one lively sub appearance.
But everyone else knows that they would need four or five great signings and a lot of luck to get to where they really want to be.
It's actually 123 goals in 319 games in his entire domestic career and 19 in 56 internationally, he's a 1 goal in 3 man which is OK for a striker I guess.He's scored nearly 100 goals in just over 230 appearances for Man City for fucks sake, despite rarely getting a run of games, and you're now trying to say he's someone who hasn't adapted?
Some people here need to go easy on the monkey dust.

Nah...... You just made that up.
But a centre-forward playing for City who as a team averages between 64%-69% possession (depending on who is compiling the stats) and as a consequence creates more big chances (nearly a hundred in the PL last year) his numbers are shit.It's actually 123 goals in 319 games in his entire domestic career and 19 in 56 internationally, he's a 1 goal in 3 man which is OK for a striker I guess.
It's called hyperbole.
But I clearly remember a fair few people slobbering over him after he looked half decent from the bench once or twice. Pretty sure you were one of them, so I'm not surprised you would comment.
