Ricardo Pepe is not nearly as active.
And it's not nearly as physical of a player.
But what he is, which Raul Jimenez is not, is a guy that the ball finds him.
Finds him in advantageous positions.
Wherever he has been, whenever he has been on the field, in the few minutes that he plays, he gets a chance.
You cannot teach that.
That you either have that or you don't.
And in the case of Ricardo Pepe, he has it.
So when you think about the contrast of what these players are as a forward, Raul Jimenez is a guy that will give you a work rate.
Pepe will give you goals.
What would you rather have?
There's a thought there.
I'm different in system because Fulham don't play.
If I may, as it pertains to the fee, the actual fee,
We're looking at it from the perspective of Ricardo Pepe or Raul Jimenez or Fulham.
How about the Fulham fans who
who are looking at their club making this sort of investment in a player who will not be available for another six weeks, if not more.
And so that puts an additional amount of pressure on Ricardo Pepe that when he comes back from this injury, it's not like he can ease his way into it.
No, no, there's an expectation already built up.
