Gemini:
Here's why comparing him to those three isn't entirely fair, and why he might be a different story:
**1. Versatility and Playing Style:**
* **Marmoush is not a one-dimensional striker.** Unlike Jović, Kolo Muani, and Haller, who are primarily target men, Marmoush is much more versatile. He can play on the right, left, or through the middle. He's a complete forward, as effective at creating chances as he is at scoring them.
* **He's quick, agile, and loves to dribble**, thriving in a fast-paced, possession-based system like ours. He has a low center of gravity, helping him change directions very quickly, unlike those other players, who are far more static.
* **He is a hard worker**, willing to track back and help defensively, a trait essential in a Pep team.
**2. Maturity, Experience, and Pep's System:**
* At 25, Marmoush is arguably entering his prime, more mature and experienced than Jović or Kolo Muani were when they made their moves. He's also played in a top 5 league for years, which should make his transition smoother.
* **Pep's System:** Our system relies on fluid movement, quick passing, and versatile players. Marmoush fits that bill. He's also a great presser, always looking to win the ball back – essential for any Pep team. Pep also has a track record of improving players. If anyone can unlock Marmoush's full potential, it's him.
**Reasons for Optimism:**
* **Current Form:** He's been on fire this season. Let's just say he's scored *more* than a dozen goals and provided a significant number of assists. He's Frankfurt's main man and talisman.
* **Strong Mentality:** He has the right attitude to succeed at the highest level, fitting in well with our possession-based style and likely having no trouble adapting to the dressing room.
Let's give him a chance. Marmoush has the talent, work ethic, and attitude to succeed at City. Let's get behind him!
