My main point was and remains that I prefer to see us play with a clinical striker in the starting XI. The stats are...as I have mentioned several times...interesting. Not in any way the sole basis from which I campaign for Quagliarella to be used more frequently. Your stats are as interesting as the individual player stats of assists and goals I posted originally, offering more depth, but still, just suggestive rather than conclusive information. They do not prove anything, unless you are to list the whole team including substitutes and times of the goals and which XI was on the field when we scored the goals and who was included in the passing move and who dragged defenders away and all players had played the same amount of time etctetctetctct...the stats alone are not at all absolute proof, as you suggest. Would the stats be the same if Quagliarella had been given as many opportunities as Vucinic??? You simply cannot say. Because he hasn't. We can guess, and assume...and debate...hopefully in your case with a bit more civility if possible. My own position is basically that I feel we would be a stronger, more clinical team if we played at least one of Matri/Quagliarella, preferably both, for I feel they bring more to the team than Vucinic and Giovinco. Its my view, not a statement based in stats.
