I was very keen last season for Rich to take over as main striker but DCL has shut us up. I have taken back my writing him off and won’t go back on that now.. he is vastly improved and is a good premiership level striker..
however comparing him to Rich, I doubt anyone would dispute Richy has a higher ceiling (current form aside)...
So the question is who can learn what the other can do easier and for me it would be a lot easier for Richy to learn the positioning DCL has more than it would be for DCL to learn to hit a ball the way Richy can. Till this season I would also say Rich is comfortably a better finisher.. so I’m sure he can do what DCL can do...
Maybe the answer is both... if Rich were in form we would have a great blend and wouldn’t be discussion.
