If that's not difficulty scoring then I don't know what is. Henry only scored 3 in his time at Juventus and he was 21 years old. People wrote him off as not good enough.
You keep adding things to your criteria. Weak teams, strong leagues, etc. Was Juventus a weak team in a strong league?
Anyway, I can definitely see where you are coming from and how that makes sense. I just don't agree with it right now. In the end you might be right, or I might be right. Or maybe neither one of us will be. It's the beauty of this sport. Let's move on...thanks for joining the forum and bringing up some good discussions!
OK glad you're finally seeing the light
I'll just say Henry was played out of position as winger at Juve. He's made his name as CF so would've scored more goals there. Although Juve were strong, Serie A was much tougher then than it is now. Like I said, it's not just Niang's stats but his skillset which dissappoints. I've honestly seen zero improvement in his finishing/decision making/passing these past couple years. Usually players don't significantly improve these attributes over time e.g. Muntari/Boateng are still horribly inconsistent passers/shooters now.
