”need someone that can score goals” is an oversimplification imo.
Zirzkee was Bolognas most important player under Motta, yet he only scored 11 goals. But he’s also the complete opposite of Vlahovic as a player and why I always wondered how Dusan would do under Motta as Motta clearly values hold up play from his CF. Kolo has a similar skillset as Zirkzee, so if that’s the type of player Motta wants/needs, then that’s the type of player Giuntoli should give him.
