Talking about best signing of the January window/best January window ever. If you want to say PL only, go ahead if that makes you feel better, but I am looking at the whole of contributions if we are talking about best January signing. Diaz had a much tougher XI to break into and scored important goals in all four competitions that Liverpool are in, where Liverpool have won two, can win another, and probably should have won the league. Diaz is a major part of that. Because the level is higher, especially at the top of the table (contending for 1st tougher than contending for first/team performance overall) and in European competition (Diaz scored goals in CL knockout rounds, Tottenham sandbagged their competition and went out) this stuff matters. Frankly Tottenham’s best signing was Conte. I don’t think Kulusevski did anything particularly unique for them. We’ll see what happens next season though. Conte absolutely got the most of kit of Kulusevski, but if you switch Kulusevski and Diaz, I don’t think Kulusevski has nearly the impact that Diaz did for LFC, and Diaz does similar if not better than Kulusevski did at Tottenham. If you switch them LFC is worse (maybe they don’t win at least two cups) and Tottenham is better.How is 4g 3a in 13 games better than 5g 8a in 18? What Diaz did in other competitions doesn't matter when you're having a discussion about the premier league. I don't think Kulusevski is better than Diaz but he did have a bigger impact since arriving this season.
