I think the other thing about Correa is his style of play will force us to improve. Correa isn't going to spam crosses into the box without thinking. He's going to hold the ball, he's going to try to take defenders on, and he'll pull tricks out of a hat. He's not always successful, but it should help open things up. We're far too easy to defend when we have Dzeko and Martinez prowling around the box, waiting for a cross from Perisic or Dumfries.

Great point, we have zero threat through the middle right now. Everything is about width.

Afraid he won’t stay healthy long… seems like once you’ve gotten the bug it’s hard to shake.

You guys kept singing praise on his attributes. You said he's fast, tall, agile, can dribble past players, can explore space behind the defenders blablabla. But how come we aren't seeing any of that?

30M for 4 goals. Might as well just keep Pinamonti or loan Caicedo right from the start.

Because the fucken bum of a coach who supposedly knows how to get the best out of the player keeps misusing him. Today for example, there was plenty of time when the game was wide open for Correa to come on and make an impact. Instead, Limone just watched time fly by while Dzeko disgraced himself, and by the time he brought Correa on, the game had become really cagey and slow as Torino sat back and closed space.

Exactly, the game was screaming for him since the first minute and instead if I’m not mistaken he was our LAST SUB. I get that he’s just coming back from an injury, but is he fit or is he not? He has been playing for a few matches now, can he not survive 45 minutes?

I will not be sad to see him go. The only disappointment that is greater than our loss of form and the way we are currently playing is Joaquin Correa.

Correa's and Abraham's records speak for themselves.
Abraham would have been better than Correa just for being available in a lot more matches. Correa has already missed 16 matches this season. There's no way to sugarcoat it. He would need to have a superb season finish for this transfer to be anything but a disaster.

Pound for pound, Correa has done better than Abraham this season whenever he played.

Key word: whenever

Abraham is "just a poacher" and he's not even great at that. Should have had 35 goals by now but has only 15 and 2 of them were scored with his dick by accident, including the first goal in the derby.
