He is looking just as Vlahovic was supposed to in terms of build and role just more presence imo....I personaly like this guy

retegui without gasp (at genoa): 7g2a in 2226 minutes.
retegui in the nt: 6g1a in 1110 minutes.
a goal in every 256 minutes. a goal or assist in every 208 minutes. and imo that's the player we'd be getting. (for comparison, vlahovic for jj: a goal in every 174 minutes, a g/a in every 139 minutes.)
he also massively "overscored" his chances this season. call it luck, gasp effect, whatever. so far he's a one season wonder for me

okay, whether jj needs to spend 70m on a striker or not is a good point. we need so many players, there's no one priority. if he had a complete squad only lacking a killer finisher, i'd get gyökeres. but this jj needs experience, leadership, cb, fullbacks, midfielders, wingers on regular contracts (not loanees), etc
regardless of the price tag, gyökeres is a clearly better player imo

I don't think there is any part of his game that stands out. Physically is isn't strong or fast. He isn't particularly technical, good at hold up or a good dribbler either.
Then there was his season at Genoa the season before last which was underwhelming and poor performances for Italy.
Nothing really suggests that if you take him out of that Atalanta team that he will replicate it.

Suppose the only question is how durable he'll be as he's had issues with playing in pain for 1.5 seasons now. I know he says he's back to his best fitness but he probably would say that coming to the end of his contract. Time will tell. He's obviously pure class but fitness issues aged 33 don't sound like a player who will play 3000 minutes.
