Its time we give Schurrle a consistent run in the side. Hope he's fit and starting for this one.

Good. We'll be seeing cigarettes with green butts by 2020, all over the world. #FreeTheWeed

Hate to see him as a passenger here. Only going to dampen his memories.

Not sure we are going to let Ba go unless we sign a striker in January. Eto'o's pretty much gone in the summer unless he becomes uber productive in the second half of the season. He was a temporary thing anyway. I seriously doubt Torres staying beyond the summer if another striker comes and we keep Lukaku next season. Bring in Rooney, keep Lukaku and Ba and we're good to do. Wazza- Lukaku- Ba seem pretty versatile.

Absolutely. He can whip in goals with his long legs but does seem quite stiff at times.

Fine, bro. It seems that you can't get over the fact that Falcao is a better striker than Benzema, be it holding up the ball or finishing or passing. And both vids doesn't do enough justice to the arguments. Real is one of my fav teams in Europe and I've watched enough Benzema to know how good he is but don't think he is a better all rounder than Falcao. Period.

and keep him fit. But Nastasic- Kompany is a pretty decent partnership. Not sure how Demichelis and Kompany are going to partner up but the only area that needs any sort of reinforcement, at the Ethihad, is the CB dept.

THC may be causing improper timing of sperms by direct stimulation or it may be bypassing natural inhibition mechanism. So sperms swim too fast too early. Sperms burn out before they reach the egg, well, atleast most of them. Also sperms exposed to high levels of THC will have damaged acrosome. So, egg is not penetrated efficiently. Also reduced testosterone due to high levels of cannabinoids in the system. Nonetheless, reduced sperm count and marijuana is not exactly a clear cut picture. I'd be more worried of the effects on the lungs rather than on the balls. P.S. I'm not against its legalization.

Theoretically, yes. But the only real problem is that its a gateway drug for more addictive drugs like heroine and cocaine. But safer than cigarettes and alcohol.

I completely agree on the fact that they're two completely different strikers. Benzema does better on the counter and Falcao does well in those 1v1 situations and has killer striker abilities and is a better dribbler than Benzema IMO. That video you embedded shows just how good Benzema is on the counter. http://youtu.be/S-lsMf8-SR4 From this video, I count more goals from sort of balanced play rather than counter-attacks. Most of his goals are from his abilities on the ball and finishing skills. Like I said he creates his own goals from half chances with his killer first touch which, clearly, cannot be said about Benzema.

Now you're pulling reverse psychology to get ahead on an argument. Not gonna work on me, mate.

Slaps of joy

That's what i meant, but you know what, i should given more clarity to my statement. Also that line came out of my frustrations. No offence intended, Barbara. :heart:

You want me to stop words in my post when clearly you are the one doing that. When did i say he can't play on both sides of the pitch? Its just insane that you have come up with some stats for Benzema which has clearly nothing to do with this argument here. He might be a masterclass counter attacking threat, but coming to link up play, Falcao is way better( I'm making that comparison here because i never put Benzema down in the first place, it was more like a comparison to Falcao) Rest of your post is blah blah, makes no sense. p.s. i dunno why i made those words bold.

Any Uruguayans on the forum here?

You're making Benzema sound like fucking Ozil here. He never constantly provide assists and all the more, when Ronaldo is at the receiving end, he'll convert even half chances( you said that yourself) and such goals have more to do with the actual goalscorer than the man with the assist.

So you're whole point is based on the fact that Benzema is living in the shadows of Ronaldo and was being treated unfairly by being rotated with Higuain. Still doesn't make him a proven world class goal scorer like Falcao.

Suit yourself. I reckon Falcao does a whole lot to the team than just scoring, miles ahead of Benzema's contributions.

Lets just see it that way, then. But Falcao is better than Benzema, atleast in the last 2 seasons. And I'm sure most people will agree to that and their transfer values does justice to that argument.

Agreed with the fact that teams are built around certain players but Benzema wouldn't be as prolific as Falcao if the team was built around him. Also technically Falcao is no match for Benzema. To me, Benzema is a poacher and I'd compare him to Defoue rather than Suarez.

Benzema's assists has nothing to do with his abilities on the ball and has all to do with Ronaldo or Bale being on the receiving end. He's a good striker, though but most of his goals are from great assists from the world class talent at Real Madrid while Falcao is more like Suarez and created his own goals with great skills with the ball. I'm not saying Falcao is a complete footballer but he's definitely a complete striker. And most people will agree that Falcao is miles ahead of Benzema. Falcao can work in any side but the same can't be said about Benzema.

Hi. Welcome to the forums.

Lampard to rip em apart, again. I reckon he should play in the hole for this one.

Can't wait for city- arse clash. I have a strong feeling that it'll be the beginning of the end of Wenger's form. Good riddance.
