    Barca are rumoured to be sniffing around. I just think he lacks a bit in confidence.

    I don't think we get him into scoring positions often enough. Just can't quite work out why.

    If we are going to start using White as the inverted full back it is going to change the balance of our build up and might pull him further inside more frequently. Will be interesting to see how that develops.

    I think he's just told to hug the touchline, therefore we only see him as a more conventional winger.

    Like Henry when he joined us

    There's a no. 9 there, I'm convinced

    Absolutely, said it before I'd love to see given a bit more freedom as more of an old-fashioned inside left.

    It's a mentality-thing now; does he have the minerals for it. A striker is expected to score every game, whereas for a winger, 1-in-3 or four or five will do. Some players may be happier hiding out wide rather than being the main man in the middle everyone looks to to win games.

    Same with Saka. Each goal he gets is something of a nice bonus at the moment. He brings to mind Robben. When you think of him, he's always scoring THAT goal. In fact, he didn't actually do it that often. In a successful Robben team, the REAL goalscoring was always done by somebody else.
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    He could actually become our very own Lionel Messi. Sorry, ruined it now
