I still wouldn't swap.
Form comes and goes......
I'm not talking about potential, I'm talking about right now.Young, dynamic, much more potential for growth, actually presses.
I'd swap in an instant. Saka + Martinelli have WC potential. The former 100%.

I think we have a better attack than Woolwich as Kane scores goals while Jesus, for all his qualities, doesn't regularly.

FairAgain the thread says better attack AND midfield
Barca on paper and current form have both, Woolwich on current form are better.
Woolwich have only scored 2 more goals than us, despite the fact we've had an injury to our most important attacker for a couple of months.We've got the better striker, yes. Not sure we've got the better RW or LW.

Reason for gap between us and them in table is mainly defence.
"Potential" being the key word here.
In the abstract that's an argument, but would I trade that potential for what service we have ACTUALLY had from Sonny & Kane over their time here? No way.
So does Kulu.
Give me a a one off game... Here & now?
I'm picking our front 3; no question.
Son just won golden boot, although he's on poor form now.I'm picking Martinelli/Kane/Saka.
But if someone wants to go with Kulu I won't say they're wrong.

But Brazil coach rated Richarlison over Martinelli (albeit at CF). It's not clear cut. You could make a case for our front 3.
In a friendly...and after Kulu’s masterclass vs Motherwell today
Don’t underestimate what one or two good wing backs would add to the attacking playersLacks creativity. Kulu is great, Kane offers a bit but a real lack of options and when Kulu gets injured, as we've seen, we're really stodgy and reliant on set pieces. Dare i say someone like Maddison would complete it but even an Eze or Olise would be a huge improvement in depth with Moura/Gil leaving (the latter on loan hopefully)
Vs fucking Motherwell! There are better data points that underline this lads ability, a friendly vs Motherwell is bottom of that listIn a friendly...
Yeah I'm basing it on here and now. If Son was anywhere near top form he starts, but he isn't.
Martinelli isn't a CF .. the fact he even went to the WC when Brazil have so many great LW options is impressive.
Son aside, you'd take:
Mr 'no goals in 14 games' Jesus/Saka + Nketiah
over
Kane/Kulu + Richy.
"Here and now"? I sense you've still got one eye firmly fixed on the future.
I'd take our CF and their wide players, yes.
We have the much better CF. Aside from that I don't think it's clear, what I do think is clear is that their front 3 this season has looked MUCH more mobile, and also presses madly from the front which helps the rest of the team out. That's a front 3 which has pace, works damn hard, dribbles at opponents etc.
So yes, right now as a collective I take theirs. Even if ours has bigger names.
