If Chuba continues this form and scores 20+ this season...

In a heart beat, been class this season but £15m for a 27 year old with one good season would be way too good to pass up. We won't though as he'll be on last year of his deal.

I would not be surprised to see a perm club come sniffing in January

£15m is not much for a premier league player!

Return to Arsenal whilst Jesus is on the sick?

His goal scoring is the top of the ice berg. He’s turning into an excellent all-round player. Some of his passing today was first class

There’s been a few Gooners on Twitter for a while saying they’d have a punt on him

Not necessarily.
3 players scored 20+ goals last season in teams that didn't even make the play-offs.
Hopefully he does and we do though.

I am sure you are right with that stat, but we do have a pretty good team to support him. I would be surprised if chubba stays in this for for the rest of the season and we don't finish in the playoffs and are favourite to go up. But......?

Hmm not necessarily. 8 more goals hardly guarantees us promotion.
I’d actually say the most likely outcome from here is that he does get 20+ but we don’t go up.

Last time we had a 20 goals a season league striker, we almost went down to the third tier…..

This is key I think. Something Carrick stressed after the game too. He's so important to the way we play, even if he'd only scored half as many he'd still be a crucial player and seen as having a good season.
We've seen with Tav what happens when you sell a player who is so important to your system. I don't think replacing Chuba would be easy at all, he was very very highly rated as a youngster and it looks like he/we have finally found a way to tap into that talent.
That said if only a year left we might not have much choice if a huge offer comes in.

You gotta give some more detail there? I can't think of the season you are talking about? Just before liquidation?

I am certain we will make the playoffs. Of course I was certain last season too which had a similar pattern to this season. Who knows.

1989/90, Slaven scored 21 and we finished 21st and only 2 points above the drop.
We stayed up on the last day with a 4-1 win over Newcastle, Slaven managed a brace.

Amd we still needed Leeds to win at Bournemouth to make sure we stayed up. Such fine margins on that afternoon. Alas, I had already had plans and saw the Inspiral Carpets at Brixton Academy that day. Yes, I made the wrong choice.

You don't remember that 4-1 against Newcastle on the last day, Slaven and Baird? You can't have been around then!
