Regression to the mean is variance.

It's DS, what do you really expect?

Past that, its a good signing that plays more towards Arsenal's strengths. Theoretically, it shouldn't mean that Giroud has to move on either as they do different things and there will be plenty of matches to make it work.

15/16 - 44p, 23g, 2 pens
16/17 - 45p, 37g, 11 pens

So he's scored 20+ goals for four seasons in a row excluding penalties.

MAte,

Can you do me a solid and tally up agueros numbers this way as well he last four seasons?

Maybe I'm just salty this could have been done 3 years ago for half as much probably.

Aguero - (games/total goals/pens)

13/14 - 34/28/2
14/15 - 42/32/7
15/16 - 44/29/6
16/17 - 45/33/6

so 21 total penalties in the last 4 years. he's missed 8 (72%).

for reference, in the same timeframe messi has scored 27 penalties and missed 10 (73%), penaldo scored 38 and missed 8 (82%).

my conclusions from this research are that penalties don't inflate strikers' numbers as much as one might think based on eyetest, and that ronaldo is good at penalties.
