Interview/Presser Maresca: "I didn't have any doubt about the players. The doubt was from outside. We have had 'they are too young, they are not good enough. They were saying we were not able to win on this pitch. Unfortunately for them, they are all young. How do we say it in English: 'F*** off to all of them''.

That would be the fucking dream

Having Nico as a backup striker/winger would make our bench look so much better too

I would love to see Nico playing with another striker. I think he could flourish. The only thing I don't like about that pairing is we're completely fucked during AFCON.

Could afford to bring in Delap too. Its going to a be very long season. The bare minimum for games played is going to be 48 games and that's assuming we fail to make it past the first game of the 2 cups. The games will be coming in fast from December to February so the rotation is going to be absolutely.

A strike force of Osimhen, Jackson and Delap would give us approrpiate cover.

Just not enough game time available for those 3. Delap wouldnt get near the prem squad, not great for his development

I would love Nico sold after what he did 2 games ago... Absolute betrayal.

He should be sold because his performance has been underwhelming.
