I don't think that's right. According to Who Scored it's:
19/20 - 29(7)
18/19 - 26(6)
17/18 - 20(16)

I took the stats from the EPL website.
They read:
19/20 - 36(7)
18/19 - 32(6)
17/18 - 36(16)
So I'm guessing they include the sub appearances in the first figure. 29 , 26 and 20 make far more sense.

It looks like the first figure is total appearances and the brackets is how many of those were from the bench. That's a sloppy way of presenting the data.
It's more than I was expecting but I guess I am still going by how he was used a few years ago.
His goals and assists record is worse than I thought
2019/20 - 9 goals 7 assists
2018/19 - 7 goals 6 assists
2017/18 - 6 goals 7 assists

I'm not surprised by that. He's a handful but not very productive.

I said good games though. He will be good in those few games then average to non existent in the others that he plays.

100k a week they're saying...3 year deal.
The rest will be a sign on fee.

Do they really need him, they have quite a few attacking players already and the young lad Saka looks very good, he plays in the Willian role

They are being linked with a loan move for Coutinho too. That is a lot of wages tied up in players with no resale value.
On the other hand they won't have any transfer fee to pay over the next 4-5 years so keeps them within the (non-existant, totally ignored) FFP rules.
Let them waste more money in older attacking players when they really need a midfield and defense ..

It’s good business for them
Their selling lacazette and his wages cover this signing
His fee will help them buy someone else

Won't selling Lacazette go towards paying off Ozil?
Bedfordspurs
Mark Falco
Well half would but he is a cost regardless
£30m for lacazette
Flip half that fee in exiting Ozil
Use half on another player
Use his wages to pay for Willian

I think it's an odd transfer strategy, especially giving him such a long contract. I can see the sense in them signing some experienced players but not at that end of the pitch.
Arsenal have become very short-termist in their approach. That can work if you have a lot of money or are a player or two away from a title winning team but Arsenal are neither of those things.
The risk is that he blocks chances for Saka or Nelson

Yeah I agree
It’s short term gain but not a long term plan
They have become a basket case club now and their without any leadership clearly
the sale of Lacazette is odd in that it leaves them arguably short up top
the Brazilian lad is quality
Aubameyang is a class
Nkeitah could be anything
Beyond that I’m not sure who they have to play as striker

Making scouts redundant to rely more on Kia Joorabchian is no way to run a football club and the only person who will benefit will be Kia Joorabchian.
