Glad we got rid, would never anyone like him playing for us again.
His minutes per goal rate for us was similar to Aubameyang's for us.
Plus he was good on defensive set-pieces.
Hard to understand anyone calling 'rubbish'.
Sounds like an overly emotional position to take with little regard for logical assessment.
Giroud 16080 mins
105 goals
A goal every 153 mins
Aubameyang 10320 mins
76 goals
A goal every 136 mins
Henry scored a goal every 134 mins for us
2in 3 games is good for a striker
Yes, exactly 153 minutes vs 136. Similar.
Over a season, less than 3 goals.
The way things are going, in a couple of years, I suspect Giroud's goal rate for us will actually be better than Auba's.
Fail to see how Giroud could be called rubbish for us - and some his goals were truly spectacular.
I have no skin in the game with Giroud
He doesn’t play for us anymore therefore can’t be of help
Aubameyang does
A record close to the club’s highest ever goal scorer
Should be something to praise
Not really comparable, though.
Henry joined at 21.
i.e. he played from a young age into his peak.
Auba joined when he was 28 and at his peak.
Same reason 'first 50' is a meaningless stat. Depends entirely on what stage the player is when they join.
Henry went through a 3-year stretch at his peak where he scored almost a goal every 90 minutes. It's a level over a sustained period that Auba is not close to. No shame in that... he's not close to the player Henry was. But few are. Very few.
What we can say is that Auba had a really good first 2.5 years where he managed to get close to the career-long average Henry's time with us.
I suspect when Auba finishes his career record for us will be more like Girouds. Still pretty good.
As for Nketiah - his first 1000 minutes in the PL is a goal every 250 minutes. Needs to improve. Not at all bad for his current stage of his career, but I'd be happy if he gets towards that goal every 150 minutes level. That's a good rate.
