We missed an opportunity there.

We don't play with anywhere near the same attacking verve as Dortmund.

The guy wasn't fit enough to start until last month. But he was scoring because he's a poacher and had Sancho, Pulisic, Reus etc setting up chances for him.

So no, I don't think we did 'miss an opportunity'. You could say that about pretty much any player.

He's at a club where the style suits him, as does the style of the league. Kind of like Batshuayi last year at Dortmund as well.

Here was me thinking that's what Silva is aiming for.Seen much of Alcacer?

Sorry, should have been clearer - we don't yet play with the same verve as they do!

And yes I have, I cover a fair bit of German football.

Alcacer scored something mental like six goals in less than 90 minutes of football. He's a brilliant poacher.

But would he have suited how we want to play? Doesn't Silva seem to like a physical player up top, someone who can stretch a defence etc.

So, I'm not sure Alcacer would have fit that mould?
