The thing about Eddie is he's a tradesman as a footballer. Works hard and does some things extremely well. There are players who look more elite, but then routinely fluff their lines when faced with the type of chance he put away against Fulham.
Way he's playing this season it makes a lot of sense to have kept him around and not Balogun.
He's seemingly pushed on by a sense of belonging at Arsenal, another special thing to have around. And again in sharp contrast to Flo, bless him.
