Message: [QUOTE="ImperialOrange, post: 5463714, member: 362"] Jota was the most lethal finisher in our team and it wasn't even close. The echelon of players being "in the right place always" starts and stops with him for us. I'm not certain if Ekitike is that or not and certainly Nunez needs to become exponentially more clinical if he hopes to play anything more than a sub role for us. I love Diaz but he's 28. Ekitike is 22 so if you can get similar money and get a 6 year younger player you have to do it. Most of what I see of Ekitike's strength is cutting in from the wing vs an outright 9 like Gakpo. There is the option now to play 6'3 Ekitike, 6'2 Nunez, and 6'4 Gakpo across the front vs low block teams. Add VVD coming up and that is a serious problem to man mark. Elliott is always Mo's first sub and lethal from edge of the box as well as tireless worker for us. Bit like pre injury Ox but also can spell Wirtz. Personally I'd hate to see him go [/QUOTE]
