Azaz has really kicked on at Saints whereas Archer has gone backwards.
Azaz has been an asset to every club he's been at, on loan or permanent.
To the extent that you wonder what he could have done given a chance with us.
He's 25, and in his prime, stays fit, seems able to mix it physically and performs a valuable function: he connects defence with attack, finds space well, receives the ball cleverly and quickly sees the lay-off / forward pass; and has good feet. He also has a decent shot and set-piece capability. In 30-odd games this season, he has 8 goals and 3 assists.
He'd slot in behind the attack and provide the continuity that we sometimes lack, giving Rogers more space and being more robust than lil' Emi.
