The problem with Paco is just what we saw last night with Real Madrid: They need a goal to avoid drawing, and Ramos delievers.
We needed a goal (or two) as well, but has no chance of turning it around from the bench. That was the point of getting a backup-striker, but it doesn't work.

That is why he is a flop, for now.

The point of getting a backup-striker was to give Suárez some rest. Neither Munir nor Paco are players who turn a game around for your favor. It is hard to find these type of players. Henke was a game changer, Inzaghi was a game changer.

Can't compare this to Ramos. Only thing you can do in such games is subbing Umtiti for a midfielder (in the case of the game vs Depor) and allow Piqué to stay up front. Paco has not the self-confidence of the likes of Ramos, Piqué, Henke ...

It's impossible for Paco to turn things around if Lucho doesn't even get him on the pitch.

Didn't the deal with the Chinese collapse? If not then they could have a decent amount of money to spend this summer so who knows....

If we're not willing to give him game time, just sign a 33+ veteran striker who would be happy to stay on the bench, and would be able to make a more immediate impact off the bench. It's dumb to sign a young striker and give him isolated minutes here and there.

It's even more dumb when we already had a young striker receiving isolated minutes who was playing better.
