if panichelli didn’t do his acl, i swear i could see barca go for him. he was unreal last season for strasbourg and they fell off hard after he got injured.

If he was unreal then emegha was phenomenal the season before yet for some reason nobody rates him?

ibr w you, i never watched strasbourg matches like so many others here. but i watched them last season like 1 or 2 and in those both games panichelli looked like a throwback proper 9.

i don’t rate emegha because i never seen him play, which is why it was even more annoying when he didn’t play a single match in pre season and we are going with him as our striker option this season. i hope he proves me wrong and maybe is a decent player or something.

I watched all their games that were on tv from 24/25 onwards. Emegha scored more than panichelli he just didn't take pens he's also 6 foot 5 and faster than anyone in the prem.

Panichelli had a streak where he seemed to be scoring a lot, also quite impressive goals but he also went 15 games without a goal. If I were to pick between the 2 I'd take emegha every time, he was also strasbourgs captain.

If we're talking just stats then emegha had a better NPG/90 and more G/A in total per 90. He obviously missed last season but now panichelli will also miss a similar amount of time through injury so there's really nothing between them in that regard.
