Alexis may score a few more as CF than LW, but his goal rate as a winger was superb.
We don't really have any other goalscoring wingers other than Alexis. Yes, Rambo, Feo, Iwobi etc will get a few but not as many as Olly.
And shouldn't that be the equation? We need a 25 a season striker plus Alexis. {And another goal scoring winger would make us contenders.} Sticking Alexis at CF with Ox etc out wide won't get us enough goals.
I'd rather stick with Alexis on the left, Olly up front {and hope he gets lots more goals} and hope that Rambo or Feo or the new lad Perez or Iwobi can score lots from the other wing. That's why I wish we'd kept Serge.
