    and maybe bring our wage structure in line with what we’re paying for fees. Time to get these guys on more wages and keep them, also attracts bigger fees when and if they get sold

    I really hope we are trying to give him a bumper deal to keep him longer. Absolutely unplayable at the minute. Said last night at the game, but if he played through the middle all the time for us, he would get more goals than Kyogo did. The guy is unreal.

    His finishing is underrated really when you think of it, he's absolutley clinical in front of goal. Rarely misses chances and mostly even scores goals where most wouldn't.

    Part of it probably is he never shoots when you compare him to other "strikers" who try and get shots away and stuff, Maeda more only ever attempts a shot or header when he pounces onto balls in good areas.

    A month or so ago I had Kuhn ahead of him, but the last number of weeks have just been frightening....POTY is his for the taking, a new contract (with significant wage increase) will be on the way....simples.

    League 41 shots 19 on target 11 goals
    Champions League 15 shots 7 on target 4 goals
    Scottish Cup 8 shots 6 on target 4 goals
    League Cup 9 shots 7 on target 6 goals

    Thats his stats actually.

    He's only hit 73 shots, 47 on target and scored 25 goals

    Incredible stats

    If you compare that to Shankland, he'* 70 shots just in the League and only scored 4 goals. Igamane has hit 69 scored 9, Idah has hit 55 scored 8, Kyogo 64 scored 10, Dessers 41 scored 8, Hale 73 scored 8, Danilo 35 scored 5.

    So other players hitting about 5-17 shots per goal and Maeda less than 3.

    Not trying to flog him :giggle1:, but his value will have gone up considerably, and he is still only 27.
    I would agree he is the main man at striker now, and seems to have taken over the Kyogo role in the team seamlessly.
    Just wish he had been a bit more clinical in the Bayern game.
