TRon Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 10 goals this season, could easily see him getting a dozen or so next season with better players around him, that's pretty damn good for a secondary striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His best is still to come he's at the age where he's going peak in next couple of years imho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinport53 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 8 PL goals and 4 assists is probably double what we expected back in September. He's basically got us a dozen points, great season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commentary said that without his goals and assists this season we'd be down 13 points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Unsung hero over the last few months. Still an option to have around next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir_9 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I know some will think I'm taking this too far with what I'm about to say but.. This guy is a club legend in the making. When he does leave, I will think highly of him purely because despite being limited, he has made the most out of what his game is as much as he could. Considering what we paid for him, he has paid that back again and again.. as frustrating as he can be. Love you Ayo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Extremely good stats from a number 10, there'll not be many with better this season. I think that role is his and should be - although Rafa is famously ruthless so we'll have to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiston Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 The shit he has taken from fans this season is insane, he's been one of our better players, especially since February. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John P Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 He had a great end to last season as well if I remember. Obviously only performs when it's warm, typical foreigner tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 There’s no way #10 is second priority over summer after a striker - Perez is crucial to how we play football, and he’s coming through in a big way lately. He’s starting next season, here’s hoping he continues onwards and upwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Best finisher at the club, play him further forward next season. As the main striker in our current system? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I think we should keep him at number 10 tbh. 10 goals could be built on with a better striker to link up with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Don't think hes an unsung hero. He has gotten the praise he deserves. I do see why he gets some flak because when we aren't playing well and don't have any end product, he really stinks up the place with his weak dribbling, balance and passing.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Wouldn't 10 goals from a #10 make him one of the highest scoring players in that position? Not many people who aren't dedicated forwards get more than that. Cue someone with a list of goalscorers showing that's bollocks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few wingers have more such as Sterling & Mahrez. Pretty good company for Perez like. All from open play too which counts for a lot imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 There's a fair few non-strikers who got more than his 8 PL goals. Sanchez has scored 1 more goal and has 1 more assist than Perez. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benwell Lad Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Despite his infuriating moments he's a defence opener and can turn a match in a moment of brilliance. If we're looking for a significant upgrade in that position it's going to cost a lot of money. The new player would also have to fit in with the Benitez approach, something Ayoze so obviously already does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shush Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Perez has gone from needing replacing to being a valued squad member for me. His goals have been vital, he just needs genuine competition for a starting place. He will get better and it will be useful to have a genuine number 10 to rotate him with.
