Viktor Gyokeres: The Swedest Thing

[PrinzPoldi]

AFTV did not embarrass us. This post (on X) did.

Fans worried his celebration is now red card worthy

Selling this guy would be a real ****ing mistake.

Monster mentality, spirit lifter and a great player to have. Didn't cost a ****ing fortune, and was our best striker last season in spite of us not playing to any of his strenghts bar a few times (2nd half of season).

He has way more in store, it's pathetic to see some of the folks writing bs, but it's the same posters over and over again.

Even though #14 got us the title in 20+ ****ing years, people would rather get the shiny new toy syndrome.

Sell him and deeply regret all the good things we did last summer. Actually selling him is a sackable offense for me considering Havertz is still somehow untouchable, when we can get a lot of money there.

We are talking about people that barely cared about having a rapìst in the squad for years but can't wait to get rid of a player that brought us a trophy.

No ones brought this up but did that jinx us? Couldn't win a trophy with him in the squad, first season without him we win the league and get to the CL Final

Not taking Raya's spot anytime soon

Yeah Gyok been decent considering adapting from a much weaker league to a team that played very differently and the team seldom played to his strengths. Neither him or Kai are good enough as main CF all season but rotate to keep them fit and on form as needed they should be good enough, also for next season with more urgent need at LW, CM, RB, its unlikely to afford a better CF than Gyok and Kai. If want to change I rather sell both then buy near elite EPL CF which imo only Joao Pedro and cheaper young high potential CF like Tresoldi, Espi, El Mala, etc.

And I was waiting for an alligator to jump out of the water.

I am thankful for the guy, his mentality and workrate can’t be faulted but he’s just not at the level. The comp below is harsh as he did win fouls for a couple of these but it would be nice to have a CF you don’t always have to defend.

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

Everything just feels like hard work for him. Whether it's dribbling or fashioning chances for himself. Very solid campaign for us last season but if we truly want to elevate our attack, we need to improve on him. I'd honestly be looking at chucking him in a cash plus player deal for Alvarez.

have been saying this the whole season and getting brickbats here. Great guy and attitude but doesn't feel our level or type of striker that should be starting for us unfortunately.

Tbh I felt like a lot of the criticism (especially first half of the season) was agenda based and OTT. A lot of people who supported Kai were quick to pile-on.

If you’re saying you weren’t one of those then fair enough.

 

[OSBK]

I really like him still. He is at times horrible to watch, but so is havertz and haaland.

I would like to see what a full fit saka, Ødegaard, eze and now Bruno can feed him.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

I think if he can continue on from the start of this season the way he played in the last 4 months of so of last season he'll be fine. He's not ideal for us at all but he'll get goals and we managed to win the league with him already so it's hardly a huge problem.

LW is much more important than upgrading CF right now imo.

It’s not fair to post fail comps you can make anyone look bad.

@OnlyOne

Not the first time he has had problems controlling a ball.

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

He's a flat track bully for mid - lower table sides and there's nothing wrong with that. It's a useful attribute to have.

He's never going to trouble good CB's too much though he's far too limited and flawed.

Good personality though.

 

[tap-in]

Over 20 goals first season, without us playing to his strengths, and not always starting games.

Outscores Isak for Sweden every season, even before Isak was injured.

Plays every game like he was born a Gooner.

We have some issues, Gyokeres is not one of them. Even if we sign Alvarez or another striker, I would sell Kai before Gyokeres.
