Wouldn't surprise me if our scouts had taken several looks at him, but instead decided to plump for Hemed instead. Both seems to be very similar players, tall, strong and useful in the air. Goal records are similar as well, both getting a dozen or so goals the past few seasons. Joaquín Larrivey's overall stats aren't that impressive:
Serie A 97 appearances, 12 goals, 3 assists in 4228 minutes
La Liga 70 appearances, 23 goals, 7 assists in 4623 minutes.
If we are going to bring another striker in, hope its one with pace.
