Very different players but both quality.
Was gutted we missed out on Diaz at the time but Kulusevski has been a revelation! Statistically one of the best January signings of all time. Not many join in that window and immediately smash it, especially a 21 year old. I think only Bruno Fernandes' stats better his slightly but half of his 8 goals were pens.

Also Kulu is only 9 months older than Phil Foden. I was a bit shocked when I heard that myself and forgot he is 22. Looks older.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
9 goals and 5 assists for Foden in a whole season
8 assists and 5 goals for Kulu in half a season
He is quite left footed, so he will need to keep developing and not become predictable but Kulusevski looks a real class act.
Kulu has been a revelation. I'm trying to think of a player who has come in from abroad and had as good an impact as he has in his first season.
He looks like he has a good head on his shoulders and will only get better. I hope we make him our first signing.
Diaz suits Liverpool more, Kulu suits us more
Both quality signings, no need for the constant comparisons really
Only time will tell.
Both had a good run and tbh comparing league to league is very interesting given lfc had to negotiate cl, league cupnand fa cup as well so Diaz got a lot of games.
Over the long term any short term hero can look average tbh so both need to keep doing it.
I think Diaz is better but I'd take both in a heartbeat.
Kulu looks the better player, and is going to be a really top player in the Prem.

Jimmy Greaves came from Milan, and he wasn't bad in his first season for Spurs.
Kulu is better looking, that Diaz is a right ugly facker
my word, what was a decent thread gets ruined by the usual idiots

Does seem a bit strange that Spurs went for Diaz first over Kula when Kula seems to fit Spurs a lot better than Diaz probably would have done. Diaz would have been wasted on the right wing.
Diaz is perfect for us but was probably a bit of a blessing in disguise to miss out on him for Spurs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The "Spurs were going for Diaz and Liverpool nicked him from under their noses" is purely media talk, primarily from Sky, who love any sort of sensation, even if it is not true.
Firstly, just how much did Spurs peruse Diaz ? anyone actually know, or are we all taking what Sky say as gospel.
It is though, a known fact that Liverpool were and had for some time been lining Diaz up anyway. So getting him was not even remotely a surprise.
Then there is the player Spurs actually did go and buy. Anyone at Spurs not happy with that choice ? nah, didn't think so.
A typical media storm in a tea cup, with both clubs actually ending up with good players, resulting in another Sky "sensational news story" coming to nothing.
Moving on.......

Diaz needs to work on his finishing then he will be a copmlete player.
Diaz is special, after a proper pre- season and some time to train/develop.....he might well be our best attacker. I think he already is TBH.....its not all about numbers. He's miles better than Jota for example

You think? Jota has been excellent as well and edges it for me.
He's not miles better than Jota he's just very different. You won't see Jota doing little tricks when controlling the ball or flying past a defender but he's tenacious and there's very few players in world football you'd have in the box before him with the ball coming in about head height. Ultimately, you need players who get goals (especially in tight games with half chances) and Jota does that.
