🚨 Arsenal reach total agreement with Sporting Lisbon to sign Viktor Gyokeres. #SportingCP grant 27yo striker permission to travel; medical scheduled for Saturday. Sweden international expected to wear iconic No14 shirt as new #AFC front man @TheAthleticFC


Sky Sports website are running a similar headline where they refer to the "iconic number 14 shirt" - I'm sorry but is that the same number 14 that feo feo was shit in for a number of years ?? :rubchin: Has anyone apart fron Henry actually shone in the number 14 to justify calling it "ICONIC" ? :roll:
I’d say Aubameyang came closest.

I would have thought he would have gone for the 10, but the fact he has only wanted us and he’s walking in the door to take the number of our record goal scorer - that’s some fucking tasty stuff right there.

To be honest, although I don't know much about him, he seems like a traditional centre forward, so I'd be telling Jesus to be making plans to fuck off as soon as he's recovered (in the 10 minutes before he's injured again) and giving the number 9 shirt to Viktor. In my world, your goalscoring centre forward wears the number 9. Won't happen of course.
I agree. The 9 is perfect for Gyokeres, but we won’t ask Jesus to change.

Either way, if Gyokeres believes he can make the 14 just as much as his own as Henry’s then all power to him.

Quality Mc.

I was going to ask what kind of half wits would buy a flop who's out injured for a further 6 months?! Your post was much better. :lol:

For some reason it's easy to forget about him, which is odd because he hasn't been gone that long. I was reading something about him a week or two ago and I always seem to have in my mind that he was ok on his day but not that prolific. In fact his scoring record is a little better than a goal every other game. Probably not the easiest bloke to handle, but Lego Head was never going to cope with him. He likes quiet "yes men" and / or Basques.

It looks like 90% of the forum are pleased with our striker signing but one or two (you all know who) have said nothing in agreement .
