He's quicker than Kane (not hard) but he's not beating many PL defenders for pace at all. This league has notably more athletic defenders.
Like I've said, he's quality. If we sold Kane and brought him in I'd be delighted because even though NOW I think Kane is better, we'd be building for the future. But I wouldn't expect him to come in and be scoring at the rate he is now for Fiorentina.
Both Piatek and Belotti had similar unreal runs of goalscoring form in Serie A, even a 40 year old Quagliarella scored a hatful in a recent season. You have to take it with a pinch of salt, but the element of doubt is why we have a shot, if he was a guaranteed thing you can bet we'd not be in the discussion at all.
Whilst I'm trying to imagine whatever it is you're imagining in this hypothetical/theoretical, you can peruse Paulinho's actual stats from his double-winning season at Barça:Yeah big mistake that we sold him, imagine the success we would have had if he'd stayed.
Says the perennial top ten & first-ballot hall-of-fame most ignored poster.
Looks like a Conte error. He should have Hooke one of Hoijberge of Winks need a player who could carry and break Saints two banks
need a creative mid, rwb lwb
and a striker
left footed defender

4 first team players needed imo. Good attacking right wing back, ball playing left sided centre back, creative midfielder or wide forward, centre forward. Cant see that lot happening in January sadly, but need to be aiming for 3. Doc, Alli, Ndombele, Rodon out the door.

I think even I would have had stats like that whilst playing alongside some blokes called Messi and Suarez, as well as Iniesta and Rakitic.
How about his stats at Spurs?
For me our weakest position now is Hojbjerg's. We need another midfielder that can do a job defensively. Keep Hojbjerg, Skipp, Winks (if he keeps on improving) and new CM, midfield sorted.
Said that we still need a striker and probably a better option as a 10, Son and Moura aren't that reliable. Also, another RWB.

dont need anyone whats the point, we are good enough with this team.....
Sell
Dele: just not consistent enough.
Lo Celso: always injured.
Ndombele: obviously not part of Conte’s plans.
Doherty: just not good enough.
Sell if we get replacements and good offers
Rodon: still need 5 CB’s for 3 CB.
Bergwijn: if we are bringing in another attacker.
Buy
Vlahovic: let’s go all in.
Lamptey: failing that I would take Adama purely as a RWB but Lamptey would be great.
De Virj: another quality CB.
Kessie: make Hojbjerg cover Skipp and Kessie.
Attacking CM: need a creative player who can break down deep teams not sure who that would be.
Dele: just not consistent enough.
Lo Celso: always injured.
Ndombele: obviously not part of Conte’s plans.
Doherty: just not good enough.

It's been a heady few weeks, but it feels like we've come full-circle.
Berg: Sick note.
Lo Celso: Sick note.
Sessengon: Sick note.
Ndombele: Un-fancied dosser.
Dele: Not showing anything consistently enough to be relied upon.
Doherty: Occasionally functional; mostly painful to watch.
Rodon: Poor bugger can't get a sniff
....Laters.
The only ones that have seemingly earned a reprieve are Winks & Sanchez.
Berg: Sick note.
Lo Celso: Sick note.

Probably add Dier to Winks and Sanchez.
Agree with most of this but…
Not to repeat myself- but you’ve called for the sale of both our creative mids but not named one replacement.
