Replacing strikers is difficult. We spent 80mill on Nunez and he's barely playing.
Mo is our best attacker and it's late in the window - even if he wanted to leave - and I DON'T think he does - we don't have to let him.
Fab and Hendo were a loss [in my opinion] - but loosing Mo would be on a different level entirely.
We've kept players before - like Suarez - when they wanted to leave.
You don't want players who want out, Jürgen doesn't - but even if we knew he did want out - which we DON'T - the timing is nowhere near right.
It's too late in the window to replace him. And who's out there/available anyway?!
We're already struggling to replace midfielders who have left. And don't think Jürgen will want to throw away the season for a Mo payday. We need to get back into the top4, challenge - and that's already going to be tough with the squad we have, without loosing anyone else.
It's good to know there is demand for Mo out there. And you'd have to think he'd be a HUGE coup for the Oily league.
And when he eventually leaves - and it could very well be next summer - hopefully we have a plan, and use their oil dollars wisely.
Until then, Mo stays.
