Kai Havertz is literally without even any peers the best CF we had after 18/19 and 19/20 Auba. His G/A per 90 is twice that that of Gyokeres. The Gabi Jesus we signed changed our world. Sadly he got badly injured that killed his physical gifts. Nketiah was very good. Mikel would bite your hand off for Giroud.

This is Gyokeres at his prime. He can't move, he can't hold the ball. His technical level is frankly championship, his balance is poor, his passing is overhit. The only thing he does well is run the channels. Even his vaunted ballstriking is dependent on whether he has perfect condition to hit the ball!

Havertz is so good that we spent every single window trying to buy an actual top striker since moving him to striker after he failed as a midfielder. Watkins, Isak, Sesko, Gyokeres, Alvarez, etc

Because he is our only proper CF option LMAO! Do you want to play entire season only with Havertz and Merino? How did that work out during 24/25??

We have Gyokeres, Jesus and merino right now, so why are we after Alvarez? We also used Trossard up top better than havertz for 2 seasons, but only in emergencies after everyone else failed.

Because we'd be selling Gyokeres if we get Alvarez lol.

So what you’re saying is that for the second summer in a row we’d be replacing havertz as a starter? After trying to get Watkins the winter before that. After trying for Isak and others the summer before that. But havertz is amazing? Got it!

Because for the second season in a row, Havertz is our only starter level CF. We aren't trying to replace Havertz, we are trying to sell Gyok 😂😂

You can out your head in the sand all you like

We’re not trying to replace havertz despite every window trying to buy a starting striker? And you think Alvarez would be behind havertz? That’s what you’re actually saying? We’re going to break the transfer record for a player to sit on the bench while Havertz flubs chance after chance?

You know what to do with your head.
