Your first sentence is hyperbole. Around 2 miscontrols per 90 kind of indicates he isn't "poor". Sure, he is no Mata but it's not either you have a phemomenal first touch or a shit one. For comparison, Gyokeres miscontrols the ball more often, actually putting him close to bottom for strikers. This is also in a weaker league. No one is talking about that, because he doesn't play for us and it doesn't affect us in any way - until he plays for us.
His hold-up involves holding off players. This is how he learns. It has already improved significantly since he joined, and it is genuinely bizarre how some can't see that. I agree that he holds them off for longer than necessary, but he'll learn.
He should have had an assist against Chelsea. He doesn't "constantly" make the wrong decisions. He made a few this weekend, but generally he provides the wingers with excellent passes.
I agree, we should buy a first choice striker and have him as back-up as he learns, similarly to Duran for Villa. But these "he'll likely never improve" posts in this thread really need to stop. Every single striker that plays in PL now was not the same level at 20. Maybe he will never be good enough to lead the line for us, or maybe he will explode. He certainly has a skill set that could see him blossom if he can learn to combine these qualities more consistently and improve some of them.
It's not hyperbole. It's an assessment (correct, imo) of his performances based on the evidence so far. You do need to have a good touch as a striker as a lot of balls are played into you. A lot of goal scoring opportunities can disappear due to a bad touch. I don't know why you keep bringing Gyokeres into this, it really has no relevance to this. Also, we have had a young Lukaku and we first hand saw that those kinda of deficiencies can be a huge hindrance for a team with ambitions.
I am glad you agree that we need a better, much more refined first choice striker.
