I think so at least.
The lad looked suited to a WF role but never actually took to it. I don't know what role he played at Sociedad, but I always felt that he couldn't succeed at Arsenal unless he played as the more advanced of two strikers... like Theo really!
He's still a talent, and I agree with GG, £3.5m doesn't seem enough. He's pobably cheaper than he should be due to not actually proving himself in the Prem. More to do with lack of opportunities of course, but "achieving f**k-all" and not forcing his way into the squad is what it comes down to... whether that's fair or not.
