It's true tho, Bowen creates his own chances. He's done it in a rubbish team. The only reason Bowen isn't in the England team is because saka is about. Without him there is nobody better on the right. Frankly I think he is better suited to international football as he gives something different. Creates his own chances but managers always go for the names over what's best for the team

No questioning Bowen's numbers. Not to mention his goals in Europe and his 52 goals in the championship. He is a very talented player

I’ve watched him in internationals, as well as club matches, and he tries to do too much. Very like Sterling, flatters to deceive.
 
Same numbers as saka who is raved about .. in a much better team..

Bowen 198 premier league games 54 goals 37 assists

Saka 193 games 53 goals 45 assists

Put Bowen in the arsenal team his numbers would be the same. Put saka in our team his numbers would drop off
Imagine Saka’s assist numbers if he played in a team with a striker!

Someone with 100 plus premier league goals and league titles flatters to deceive? Really? Sure he has lost a step but he was at a point one of the top players in the league and for England.

At one point Bobby Charlton was one of the top players. A couple of seasons ago he looked good but like every player, he’s waning. Never been stellar in my eyes. You think differently. Let’s just agree to disagree.

Do West Ham set up more to make the most of Bowen, their top player? Whereas Arsenal may be a bit more balanced, rather than be as reliant on Saka.

Grealish was brilliant at Villa. His numbers aren't exactly better at Man City? Going to a better team doesn't necessarily mean the numbers will improve, as you can become more of a small fish in a big pond

Spot on.

Ironically no. We put him up top a lot because we have No1 when he is better off the right (16 goals from there 2 seasons ago) but kudos plays right so last season he went up top
