I think he could be fed in a different way though

He'd still be predatory with balls fizzed across the six yard box (low), or on the end of a through ball in a fast breakaway.

I'm not so sure he'll get loads of chances from intricate play around the edge of the area up against PL defences.

Cantwell is a very good player, but he's not Buendia and he doesn't have the same ability to make assists.

If Emi goes, and of course my first choice would be that he doesn't, but if he does, then I think our style will need some further evolution as finding another Emi ready to go in the PL isn't going to happen. However, that evolved style could actually be more effective.
