    Jota has been excellent since things finally started to click for him in the Premier League. It's six goals and four assists across 12 matches December through now. And who knows what he might've done had he not been out injured for a handful of matches or played against Shrewsbury and Bristol City in the FA Cup.

    I've always felt like Andre is who he is - a pretty adequate in-the-box striker who needs other to set him up. He's no star, but he can still be plenty helpful for Portugal and clubs throughout the big leagues.

    Silva hasn't done anything in months. Such a great start but being a tap in king only gets you so far. He's way too slow and not as crafty as Postiga was.

    Andre needs a strike partner to hold his hand or else he is useless.

    A.Silva is never going to be class, he's nothing special but he still has decent dribbling and decent hold up play, with decent vision and passing for a striker.......but despite his obvious flaws, he is and will always be far better than Postiga ever was. Damn, even though he's quite slow, I think he might be Usain Bolt compared to Postiga.

    Postiga scored a lot of clutch goals.

    I wonder about this as well. He hasn't played or even sat on the bench for a while...

    Wolves might buy him. I think that’s the best move for him. Hopefully he will get his form back and become what he used to be.
