We keep harping on as fans about how we need a 20 goal a season striker and that Gervinho shouldn't be playing as a striker. Just hear me out here. We know he's missing chances but he's also creating them for himself to miss, which another striker may not do. Don't quote me on this stat but I think the boy has 4 goals in 6 games and not all of those as a striker. On that logic it'll only take him 30 starts to score the 20 goals we so dream of which isn't a bad return.
For the record I don't think Gerv is the answer and I do think Giroud will step up and start banging them in but let's not let his missed chances and general awkwardness cloud the fact he's scoring goals. I mean of Gervinho scores 1 goal from 5 opportunities he's fashioned himself then who's to say that's any worse than another player scoring 1 goal from 2 chances created by other people.
Yes he is erratic and frustrating but he's making things happen and he's scoring goals so let's just be happy with that.
20 goal a season striker.

If Gervinho is played up front every game he will easily get 20+ goals a season. I don't like him though if Giroud was to score 5 goals less i would start him. He adds far more to the team than Gervinho even though he may score more.

"Gervinho's doing a good job, better than I expected. he should score 15-20 goals easily this season."
He should be he probably won't because he can't finish.

you're like a moth around a light, the light being any mention of gervinho, you being the moth attracted to it. and like most people, i want to swat you because you're boring and predictable.

Gervinho scored 36 goals in 2 seasons for lille, I think he is capable of scoring atleast 15 goals in 1 season in PL

Why not. Adebayor scored 1 every 10 misses and bagged 30 that campaign!
