Luis 'Lucho' Diaz

Yep... The problem with counting goals by appearances is that it really isn't too clever. IF you know the game - you can see what Luis brings...and it's far more than that presented by overly simplistic stats. He was instrumental in Salah's form this season - a massive part of what won us the title....but you won't find that without looking far deeper. Amazes me that so many don't see it.

Rest assured the Spanish do..

Totally agree, eye test for me is far more important than stats, I can remember when Rednapp was playing in our midfield his passing completion stats were amazing and Cantona’s were awful…difference was Rednapps were mostly backwards and sideways, Cantona’s were killer balls when they came off..I know which one I prefer…

Unfortunately, stats trump actual reality these days.. unfortunately there is very little context applied to them..

if anyone goes it should be Jota... but can only see Nunez and probably chiesa leaving anyhow

I can understand if the club cashes in on him as he's probably worth a good bit in transfer terms. He's at his peak. At the same time, it's never nice to sell your best players and he definitely had a good solid season with us. Jota should be sold first but how much will he fetch?
