First of all Pjaca clearly has a big untapped talent but comparing those two is useless. Pjaca would come in as a bench option, Martial wouldn't.
Pjaca coming in would mean we're more than set in terms of numbers. The starting quality is already there... Dybala & Douglas Costa can start around Higgy. Cuadrado & Berna are decent bench options with Manbro as backup for Higgy & Pjaca as allrounder. We need our funds for other spots.

But when do we ever play in a style that suits a fast striker?
Most times we play side to side, then backwards, then try some intricate play around the box. Especially as 90% of teams sit back against us, there really isn't space to play in behind.
Plus is Higuain that slow? He is heavy and not electric but seems to do well on counters and has shown a decent turn of pace.

There is plenty of space if you play the ball into space early. We take our sweet time moving the ball down the field allowing the other team to stack up in front of goal. We are too slow. Once we get to the box we also look clueless. Been saying that for some time now...our ideas in the box are pretty bland.
