Because he's hopelessly shite.
hopelessly shite. what a beautiful expression. I love the way it flows, it's got such poetry about it, and hit the fucking nail right on the fucking head too

Agreed 100%. I know it was only the fucky fucky cup and it was against the Manure players too shit to get into a shit Manure side (ffs the tubby little Elvis impersonator ANDERSON got a game!! ) but Afobe looked sharp and didn't piss about. Just ran at the oppo, used his strength and finished both well. He's direct and quite strong and shoots. Probably why Arsene loaned him out, must have made him sick to his stomach to see a player do that.

Scored them he would have missed the corner flag from there
The thing with sanogo is I have never seen a pro player take so many air shots, no wonder he is always injured, his knee most pop out on a regular basis doing that.
And when he has got himself in a decent position and actually made contact with the ball he scuffs it terribly wide and even if it was on target, Stephen Hawkings himself could save it, shit, even spuddy could (ok ok slight exaggeration there on the spuddy bit ).
I never saw his emirates cup goals but if he has hit any 4 of them cleanly I'd be amazed.

All tap-ins in a friendly, Lefty. One looked good initially as he got in between the keeper and CH and flicked his foot out to kind of chip it, but when you look at it closely he just stabbed at it and kind of scuffed it tbh...

This does not surprise me mate, we are fucked if he is Wengers answer to Girouds injury

Lefty, even though he scored 4 he was still one of the worse players on the pitch, all the goals he scored even you would have scored them... Fact... This was my boy's first ever game and he loves him... !

That's the most pertinent point really. Apart from scoring goals that a one legged kitten could have scored every single other touch he had was appallingly shit.

The only decent goal in that match was from Joel Campbell, though in Wenger' eyes, he is behind Sanogo in the pecking order. A guy who scored against Uruguay in the world cup is behind the pecking order to that lump of shit
when you take a step back and look at it objectively its actually hilarious that aw is choosing to rely on sanogo as back up for giroud at a club the size of ours.
a player who has barely played at a senior level not scored and showed zero signs of talent. its utterly barmy. its like sticking one of us in the side.
it just goes to show a how contembitle aw finds us fans who critisize him as i cannot see any other reason he is baking sanago rather than to rub our noses in it and try and prove us wrong for questioning him.
there is no other explanation.
he is damaging the club to prove a point. what other club of our huge size would tolerate such blatant behaviour?
Really won't waste my time knocking this bambi on ice. All vitriol should be aimed at the utter looney bin that brought him here and elevated him to 2nd striker status.
