Kai Havertz

JazzG

He's had a rough 1.5 years with injuries, hopefully he is over that now.

banduan

Win it in Budapest for us mate.

JazzG

Another big game and another big goal for us, unbelievable finish. Unlucky to not get a 2nd but a great block by Marquinos.

CPM

If he's fit he's such a quality player for us. Some don't like his languid style but bottom line is he has elite traits that manifest themselves in big moments. Not even a real season for him and he scored five big goals: 1-0 Sporting A CL QFs, 1-1 City A, 1-0 Chelsea LC semi, 1-0 Burnley H to win the league, 1-0 PSG CL final, all moments of real quality. But we do need assurance about his fitness.

I'm not in a rush to get rid of Gyökeres, but does he have a single goal on that level this season? Maybe 1-0 Everton H but it was a tap-in.

CPM there’s a big gap between this guy and Gyokeres. I’ve never understood folks complaining about his salary and trying to sell him. Work rate, link up. Top tier.

Qwiss

Claudius there’s a big gap between this guy and Gyokeres.

Havertz has never scored as many goals in a season as Gyokeres scored this season.

JazzG

Never realised his Germany numbers were this good.

awooga83

Hmm I was trying to see the numbers but it seems it's 58 games and 14 assists so a bit strange the numbers there are our.

Still 36 GA in 58 games

Don Pacifico

Qwiss no he hasn't but he was on track to score 21 goals last season before he got injured. And given Gyokeres' thing is meant to be his goalscoring, I wouldn't say that's something to celebrate.

Even if you take the view that Gyokeres is in fact a better goalscorer (which at best is a marginal difference), Havertz's hold-up and link play are better. Our attack connects more fluidly and we're a more productive side when he plays. Which is why Havertz is the easy choice and who Arteta chose to start against PSG.

lorddulaarsenal

He’s so good

Qwiss

Don Pacifico Havertz is ok. This talk of him being elite and there being a gulf between him and Gyokeres is fan fic though. If he could stay fit then having the 2 of them would be plenty but every time someone starts trying to talk up Kai its always got the "but he got injured" tacked on.

Don Pacifico

Qwiss yeah, he's not elite. I just think he's a better option than Gyokeres. We need to be upgrading on both of them at some point.

JazzG

As a society we need to normalise giving gobby kids a slap....

But in all seriousness this is a kid who sees this shit online and probably thinks it is ok for him to say that while getting his jersey signed.

Qwiss

JazzG you can tell this kids parents are the fucking worst.

Mirth

This is why he spends his time looking after donkeys.

FEBravo

It is really fascinating that they can have such a sense of entitlement. You're trying to wind up someone you want to sign your shirt. it's mind boggling really.

Meatwad

slap 'em before it gets too late.

Claudius

Kai. Even Muller recognises how insanely good this guy is.

JazzG

Hope he stays fit all season, will end the debate about who our starting CF should be. Superb player, finishing is where he needs to improve but despite that puts up good numbers.

awooga83

JazzG this has been his finishing forever probably better to accept that's his level

Claudius

JazzG I saw his finish in the champions league final. Should’ve won us the game. Kai has a volume problem, not a finishing one. You want to get lots of high probability chances. He doesn’t.
