Who said Trezeguet's replacement should be the same type of player?
Its very clear that Trezeguet is an out and out goalscorer. he is not going to create much, or dazzle with his dribbling or trickery. he simply scores goals for fun. And has that extremely rare and always valuable talent for ghosting into goal scoring positions.
The only other player we have capable of scoring a shitload of goals is Iaquinta.
Amauri is not in any way, by any stretch of the imagination, a natural goalscorer. he is fine in the air, not bad at holding the ball up, and fairly strong for his physical stature, but no deadly finisher. He is easily seen, easily marked, and rarely finds himself in the perfect position to score with his markers a yard ot two behind still wondering where he went a la Trezeguet.
DP, indeed is helping us immensely at the moment, but he is not the future, he is the past. This is his swan song...
It makes perfect sense to replace the player who has been our most potent goalscoring threat for many years, with another player capable of becoming our next greatest goalscoring threat. If not, we are losing something very valuable from out squad.
I wouldn't be totally against giving Huntellar a roll of the dice, or the Ajax chap Suarez, or adriano...Adriano is obviously fairly different to Trez, but he can score LOTS of goals. He has immense power...however, with the hulking moodmonger, everything comes down to his emotional sensitivity and tendency to descend into mischeif if the going gets tough and he doesn't feel loved, by himself or those around him...a sweeter option would be Fabiano.
There is also someone else to consider, as a goalscorer, an italian, very young, but already shown MAMMOTH promise...and we wouldnt need to pay a penny for him. Immobile...with his record in the youth ranks, at most other top teams, he would be given the chance to show what he can do...so at best, with us, he could be a perfect backup to Iaquinta, our second goalscorer.
