Nketiah?

The vast majority of his appearances for Arsenal were from the substitutes bench so perhaps he could be described as a 'Bit-part' player at the club.
On loan at Leeds his goal record was not impressive, however I have no information as to how many games he started under Bielsa.

I have to admit that when I heard the finances involved in relation to his transfer fee my gast was well and truly flabbered. I do hope he justifies the outlay.
I think you'll find that your flabber was well and truly gasted.
 
Nketiah doesn’t seem to be a player that Glasner has a position for. What’s worse for him is that all these very short substitute appearances prove little.
He is a forward & needs a proper run of games to get confidence & momentum.
Witness the difference between Benteke in the first season under Pardew when he played virtually every game and scored a lot of goals to the player returning from injury and being used as a substitute where he was never the same again.
 
I just think that by EPL standards he’s not that good. Certainly not £25m worth of player. Not great at holding it up, not especially good at linking play, quickish but not super rapid, ok but not lethal as a finisher. As he showed for 7 years at Arsenal and now with us he is fine as a squad player but isn’t good enough to start. I’d have had no issue with signing him on a free or for a small fee but £25m was ridiculous. Doesn’t offer any more than Edouard did.
