I was 99% certain that Afobe would. He can't even get games in the Championship.
That's what the homegrown rulings have done. Clubs won't gamble on a player if he's going to take up one of those valuable 21+ spots.dyeruz said:It's funny because people were co-signing Afobe, JET and Aneke saying they would make it. Based on what evidence? Still like to see some given a run in our actual team. Miyachi would be an upgrade on Gervinho so why not. If Afobe scored at the Emirates what a boast it would give the lad, motivate him and spur him onto greater things. We give up too easily on players, absolutely no chance of late developers nowadays, they're washed up by 21.
That's a good one. I take it you haven't even seen him? (why would you need to, if 100% of your call is based on our record - decision could be 100% a priory. Actually, if you did see him you would not have claimed it is "purely" based on our record, cos you'd have had some impression of him).Quicker than Walcott said:Akpom won't make it. Basing that purely on the fact we don't produce good strikers ever.
Forget it.
I think Chuks has a different problem, and though there's no argument regarding his talent, his dynamism limitations - if not overcome - could prove an obstacle too big to overcome. I would love it if he does, but my doubts are growing.MutableEarth said:Same with Aneke - they just need to keep applying themselves.

People go terribly overboard with these kids, Miyaichi was the new Ronaldo a while back.
jones said:Campbell will definitely develop into a striker, just the usual adaptation phase on the wing that most young strikers undergo, from the first day I've seen him it was clear to me that he's a striker. Does pretty well at Betis these days after a flaky start, his stamina has improved it seems and he shows great work rate, I've seen him two or three times now lying on the pitch completely exhausted just after the full time whistle goes.
Hope he won't do too well for them, that alleged buying option is worrying tbh.
