Slaven Bilic has dubbed Emanuelle Emenike “a good goalscorer and he will work well for the team and run the channels.”And on the basis of that it seems the Nigerian is more in the Diafra Sakho mould than Andy Carroll both of home are expected back within the next 10 days.
Sak has changed his game under Slav to run the channels and move defenders around which creates space for the likes of Dimi Payt and Manu Lanzini.
Bilic has had plenty of time to do his homework on a player of whom he became aware via the Russian and Turkish Leagues so despite some of us knowing anything much about the front man the “Trust Slav” slogan must be kept firmly in mind!
And the manager – explaining he was signed following Mauro Zarate’s departure and the likliehood of Jelavic noving to China – added: ” “We needed a player who can play in three positions up front and Emenike has been on our radar.
“I have known him for a long time and he’s a great player and I hope that he is going to do a great job for us. He is not that tall, but he is big, he is strong and he is extremely quick and he is really direct.
Bilic,confirmed the club’s business was now done saying: “We won’t be busy on Deadline Day. We are finished. That’s it – in and out.”
