If Kanu plays like he did when he first joined Arsenal then he will transform them - the man was a revelation. Let's hope for his sake that he gets plenty of action. In the last few years he's seemed to suffer a lot from his lack of appearances, and his occasional cameos from the bench have proved far less effective. But, to be fair, it would be a bit much to expect anyone to maintain the combination of entertainment and effectiveness that he started with. We'd seen flashy players turn up at other clubs, but rarely seen one whose contribution to the team was as productive. Good luck to him, for his sake I'm hoping Albion stay up.

Kanu should have a good few years left in him. It might seem like he's been around for ever but in fact he's still only 28.
