As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

He hasn't scored one this season (which is very odd), but he usually puts away at least 4 or 5 a year. That's something we are sorely missing and nobody else on the current team can give us.
That's also a big reason why he's only scored 9 goals in the league this year.
Once he scores one they will go in again on a regular basis and we really need that.
Because no-one else gets a fucking chance when RVP is playing!!
What I did notice is that he hasn't scored from a single free kick ever since Beckham trained with us last winter and gave him "tips" for his free-kick technique.

Chelsea? No.
Liverpool? No.
He has no great partnership with anyone and flatters to decieve too much.
I mean Ade has still scored more this season even though he has not worked as hard as he can.
If Kalou and Kuyt can get in those teams then he most certainly would.
Agree that he doesn't form any good partnerships though which holds the team back.
I would cash in I'm afraid.
Edit: He's better then Berbatov too so could get in there aswell.
