last season afobe had to displace Nuhiu who was scoring, Best who was scoring, Maguire who was scoring and obviously he couldn't do it so Arsenal sent him back to MK.
It's all well and good saying after the event we "should have done this" or "could have done that" but at the time he wasn't the right fit and ended up being pushed onto the wing just so he was playing which didn't benefit us or the player

For me it comes back to the simple point that a loaned in player should be better than what you have either because our current players are not up to it or because of injury!!  I am not sure we can say that Nuhiu, Best and Maguire were being so prolific that Afobe couldn't get a shot, I think it was SG who made the decision to play two strikers on the wings and two up the middle, and Maguire and Afobe on paper are better square pegs for those particular round holes, and it didn't work!!
