That represents progress, though, does it not? I mean, I don’t want to argue too vociferously for the guy - I think he’d do well but I’m not THAT wedded to the concept - but I honestly think if you were presented with the possibility of signing Sexio Namo from some faraway land, who posted the same numbers as Pérez, you’d be far more enthused at the prospect. Familiarity breeds contempt and all that.He was also his manager the season before when he got 8 goals. It's not good enough.
We get nothing from our midfielders and attackers that aren’t DCL/Richy (and Richy’s returned have been diminishing) so I’d honestly be fine with an 8-12 goal forward. Obviously not if there was a realistic alternative that looked like he may bag more but as of yet I’ve not heard any such names bandied about.
