Eerie parallel in Frankenchief's world!!!

I'm a lifetime fan of the Chiefs. But I'm also a big soccer fan and a former player. As such I'm a lifetime fan of Arsenal FC. These two teams of mine are basically having the same season. Multiple injuries to key players. Frustratingly slow start to the season, etc.

I just watched live my Arsenal Gunners duplicate my Chiefs Monday night performance in a UEFA match.

It is really spooky.

I know it's useless information, but I had to say it someplace!

Now back to your current program.....

I disagree about Welbeck. Potentially I see the next Henry. Giroud is what he is. A very good player, but not elite.

Don't see it myself, the only similarities I can see is good pace. I don't think Welbeck has the skill,composure or link-up play that Henry had, Welbeck could become a solid premiership striker but I don't think he'll ever get near the levels of Henry.

Don't forget that Henry didn't have "the skill,composure or link-up play that Henry had" once upon a time. Maybe I'm acting as an Arsenal homer, but I do see some Henry-like potential in Welbeck's future.

It's not impossible, It happened with Ramsay last season, it wasn't too long ago Arsenal fans wanted Ramsay out of the club and where saying he would never make it and look at him now.
