He needs to improve dramatically within the next year or so - he’s not playing in youth football no more and the sooner he realises it the better!
 

Whilst his scoring record is still not good enough he has improved his scoring rate:

First season: 1 goal in 11 appearances
Second season: 8 goals in 44 appearances
This season: 5 goals in 18 appearances
2 or 3 of this seasons goals were against championship or lower teams tho. Being able to score against that level of team doesnt help us too much atm.
Not arguing againt him improving mind, he obviously have.
 

and that's our biggest problem, he probably is our best forward ( or at least most suited to our system ) and he isn't very good

Think Tuson is better and more suited. He had more shots than anyone else in half the mins. Also , at the start of the season he was playing and we were scoring goals , defending was our problem. R 9 was scoring , Walcott was , Tuson is our best striker imo , but like you said he’s still not good enough really

Half of Tosun’s shots come in situations he should be passing. We have zero good options up top. DCL at least can win a header and moves around a bit so that’s something I suppose.
 
I can’t believe the criticism he gets personally. He’s improved a lot since he came and gets better every season. He’s better than Niasse and Tosun who have big money wasted on them and ok he’s not good enough to lead the line yet but if a club needs 3 strikers he’s certainly good enough for one of those spots. Do we want to develop young players or not? People have this attitude towards them that if they’re not immediately ace then get rid of them. Let’s see what he’s like when he’s 23 and then make a decision.
