  1. True. Liverpool look likely to secure top 4. We really need a striker who can dribble and create on their own though
  2. Leboeuf: Mourinho was right to sell Mata http://www.goal.com/en/news/9/england/2014/02/07/4603064/leboeuf-mourinho-was-right-to-sell-mata
  3. Our strikers seem to create fuck all by themselves except torres against mancity. And that is what suarez does in every single game. Our strikers remind me of soldaldo where the ball has to be placed in front of him in front of the keeper before he can score. Suarez and aguero on the other hand can dribble 2 pple in the box and score. We would have far more goals than we have now if our strikers can create chances on their own.
  4. His favorites are all show boaters.
  5. I know. I completely misread the situation since I've seen him with two girls before.
  6. I knew psg will go through this route. Even FFP and the 75% tax increase can't stop them. That was aimed at us because they want hazard. Unfortunately lucas moura wasn't this good for them. But we'll see how they can still outbid teams when their wage bill practically doubles because of the 75% tax increase.
  7. Exactly. He seems exactly the same type of player as javi martinez. Now we need a schweinstiger, alaba and mandzukic, and we are the bayern munich of last season.
  8. Januzaj should get some tips from oscar's game
  9. Mata was a victim of our poor finishing. There was one southampton game at the bridge where he created so many chances but we missed a lot of them. Some other games like everton where he played we paid for missed chances and we didn't defend well then conceded and lost the match. If we are not scoring our chances, we can't afford to be bad at the back. If we had a top striker to be burying mata's chances, he probably will still be here and mourinho can afford us to concede 2 goals at the back if we end up scoring 4-5 a game like he did at madrid.
  10. I know. Ribery is a 15 goals, 20 assists player. Fantastic for every team to have. Hazard should have had more assists than he's had now. Against stoke, mancity and westham alone he created 3 clear goal chances per match. But he's not shooting, enough in my opinion. His shooting is at about 1.5-2 shots per game which is low for his quality on the ball. Matches like against westham where even lampard is missing clear cut chances, we need him to take the mantle and bail us out sometimes. If he shoots more, he'll get better at it, and I'm sure he'll surpass ribery's level quicker than we expect. This is what he needs to do to step up. Probably if hazard gets 25goals, 20assists every season, that is world class level above ribery and that's where I want him to be at.
  11. We all know this deep down in our minds. But we just hope he becomes close to ronaldo/messi level, scoring 25-30 goals a season instead of just being at ribery's level
  12. 22 cards, 19 epl goals looool. I never knew it was that bad. After being an expert scorer in the league for years. Smh We shouldn't buy anyone who had his type of injury again. He has improved this season, and is more hard working but seems to have so much bad luck that after 3 games in a row, he gets injured and starts to look for form again. I step forward, 2 steps back
  13. Are you guys sure? Mandzukic is a very good finisher. One of the best headers of the ball, target man for ivanovic crosses and cech goal kicks, played the same system we are using now with bayern last season so successfully. I like his movement in the box too. He even has similar teammates last season to what we have now:- Ribery - hazard ; muller - oscar; Robben - salah/wilian Javi martinez - Matic He will fit into our high pressing system like a glove especially since he is a team player with high work rate for a striker. I didn't think he was available before, but lewandowski is going there and fits tiki taka better than him. That's not a negative by any means because even the great ibrahimovic did not suit tiki taka. if he is available for 20mil, I'll get him ahead of costa even.
  14. Another double post Is there a way to delete 1/3 of my post count lol
  15. That is just laughable. Carzola, toure ahead of him, Wtf!! Only adam johnson had as good a month as hazard. The hatred for us is just
  16. Accessing all the options and how they would fit and availability. People with good first touch, agility, dribbling and technique are the best choices. Because even if they have a bad game, they can create something out of nothing like drogba. In this respect, the strikers with technique are. 1. Suarez 2. Balloteli 3. Benzema 4. Rooney There is also an issue with people who will fit the system. We play a high pressing, fast dribbling, counter attacking system. And we use only one striker up top. In this respect people who are used to this system are 1. Benzema (worked with mourinho, knows his system more than any other) 2. Mandzukic (played fantastic last season in a similar system to ours. He had ribery, muller and robben behind him. Exactly similar to hazard, oscar and salah) 3. Cavani (Excellent at napolis counter attacking, also a workhorse) 4. Rooney (plays counter attacking under ferguson, but in a 2 striker system) 5. Costa (plays counter attacking, but played with 2 striker system almost all the time) Not all these are available too. So in terms of availability, cost and realistically 1. Costa (Pay 32mil clause and he's yours) 2. Mandzukic (lewandoski has come to replace him, gotze plays as striker in some games while he's on the bench. Not happy about that surely) 3. Balloteli (Ac milan out of champs lge places and need money) 4. Rooney (if he doesn't sign contract by summer, he has a clause where he can buy off his remaining time. Easy for Roman to pay that and it'll be off FFP) 5. Benzema (if madrid buy suarez from liverpool, he'll be available) 6. Suarez (if liverpool don't qualify for champs lge, and madrid don't go for him, activate 70mil release clause and he's yours if he wants to come) 7. Cavani (unhappy playing on the wings but we can't challenge PSG when it comes to money. So he's stuck unless the 75% tax increase forces PSG's hands) Conclusion From this, I think mandzukic would fit the criteria the best. He played last season in bayern munich with the kind of football we are trying to play and he was a superb team player that fit the system well. He has superb workrate and easily displaced Mario gomez out of the team. He has height so that ivanovic crosses can get to him easier and cech can also find him too instead of only ivanovic. We have similar players to his teamates too. Ribery - Hazard Muller - Oscar Robben - Salah/willian Javi Martinez - Matic
  17. Glad we got rid of benitez. No more loosing points due to naïve tactics
  18. This should win the most unpopular opinion of the decade. Damnnn!!!
  19. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/9151974/world-cup-thibaut- courtois-hits-back-at-simon-mignolets- belgium-claims Oooouch!! Him and lukaku need serious PR training
  20. Hazard over gotze for me. Hazard is already faster and the better dribbler, but gotze has better vision and finishing. Hazard just needs more confidence to shoot and we won't even be having this discussion anymore Best news I've heard this month
