Not sure personally Toff. DCL has proven he can be a nuisance poacher (which is a skill set many forwards lack) but I’m just not convinced I’m his ability to affect games from the 9 position. Richy has much more control of the football, but when he plays he 9 you see how much more effective he is playing wide left. DCL can’t control the ball consistently in tight spaces. He’s just a bit one dimensional. I’d rather Richy in the 9 over some purely as he has much more to his game and I’d fancy him to hold the ball up and be involved a hell of a lot more.
I’m absolutely for getting a striker in the summer though, keeping Richy on the left (if we keep him). I don’t think DCL is the answer and if there is a good time to sell it could be now.
Also, I can’t see how on earth DCL is going to fit in with Arsenals style of play. That baffles me that they’re interested.
