His impact can’t be measured by stats, and he’s someone who will score and assist anyway. The goals will come, that’s the last thing I’d be worried about with Koop. Even yesterday he had numerous shots that were just blocked well by defenders. I think he has the highest play IQ on the team.

Exactly. So even when he isnt at his peak form you can expect him to perform.
P.S Im pretty sure he is still affected by his injury. I remember how he ran at Atalanta and he seems a bit cautious at the moment.

If Mckennie is smart then he is shrewd.

McK is definitely not the smart type.. McK is more of an athletic type of player - He will go into opposition areas, he knows what he is good for and what he isnt but when the game is more intense you can expect McK to make mistakes. Koop on the other hand is the type who will probably still perform due to his high football IQ.
The same I can say about someone we probably all dislike - Lautaro.

Sorry but I’m not seeing 60m worth of a player out there. Sure the team looked is slightly better with him out but 60m player should be giving juve a significant boost not just slightly better.

Look at these cheaper examples who made juve significantly better when they were on pitch vs when they were not:

Matuidi 20m
Pjanic 32 million
Khedira free
Pogba free


In their own way you could see the impact those players had since day one when they joined. I can’t say the same thing for Koop and he doesn’t have excuse of playing new country.

Easy to only think that because of his wages and that he is missing “easy” chances but if you look past that you see he is only one in team that is delivering so far in this dysfunctional team:

14 matches 8 goals and 1 assist. He is averaging more than a goal or assist per match which is to be expected because he is main striker of team. Problem is that no one else is stepping up when he misses . He needs better support from others. All other strikers like halaand or Kane have wingers and midfielders to contribute even when they don’t. Here at juve it’s expected only vlahovic score while others defend and it’s not realistic . Even Kane would struggle in this system

Well if you give a proper finisher these chances he would probably have double. Vlahovic isnt a crap player but he is certainly not that killer from Fiorentina. That guy had the season of his life - Everything he touched went into the net.
Here I honestly dont know what his problem is - He just isnt it. I mean he isnt it in a way that when all fit Im not even sure Vlahovic is our best option as CF (I mean he probably is due to our lack of options, but its not as a fact as it should be).
For example a front line of - N.G Koop Conceicao; Yildiz - Its not necessarily weaker at the moment than Yildiz/N.G Koop Conceicao;Vlahovic.
Yildiz will be played more centrally exploiting his talents in a better way and he will score but he will be less of the "lethal striker" type and more like a scoring type of support striker (Del Piero example).

What I mean is you take Osimeh instead of Vlahovic and how many goals do you think he would score should he be instead of Vlahovic.
For example Vlahovic`s run and his weak shot in the end that went straight to the GK - Osimeh would probably burried it and so are many others.

This is what I expect from our starting striker - You get chances - you burry most, not just 10%...

watched the game, very good cameo. hit the crossbar too, that deserved a goal

(fucked up game though. before the first goal a hungarian team member, former player lost consciousness, had to be resuscitated. that made the pointless game even more pointless.)
