Superblue 6,372 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Nowhere else really to put this but with all the talk of Falcao, Cavani, etc, the best striker signing we could have made in the summer was Ibrahimovic. Tonight's game against England was everything you needed to know about him.He can hold the ball up as a lone front man, but likes to drop deep which can cause carnage for defences as it makes him both difficult to pick up and creates space in behind for runners.His finishing is clinical, he would have finished at least three times the chances Torres has had this season.His link up play is excellent and I've no doubts he would have found the same wavelength very quickly with the three in behind him.His age should be fairly irrelevant as he has never been blessed with pace, just an unbelievable talent and football brain. If PSG paid somewhere between £15-20m for him he was well worth it!As a cheaper alternative Berbatov would also have suited us perfectly.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I hope russian Zenit gets sick of Witsel and we buy him with a discount. Then Falcao/Cavani or Jovetic and I can die happy. Stingray and The Skipper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what is he on? 300k a week?I didn't say buy him now, I was simply making the point he would have been the perfect striker for us when he was made available in the summer. Real disappointment seeing him go to PSG because he is a remarkable talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he would of been a fantastic addition.But nope, Torres was the man to lead the line, he was gonna come good without the Drogba breathing over his shoulder.

Reddish-Blue 2,503 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 1. De Rossi is better and more valuable than Mikel, as good as Mikel is at doing his job.2. Do you not understand the concept of buying? If we buy a player, a similar player who plays in that players' role will more often than not be left out. There are only 11 players on the pitch. This is how Football works.Similarly, If we buy Falcao, I can ask you 'where the fuck is Torres?' thus making an idiot out of myself as I know the obvious answer.You can't compare Torres to Mikel. Torres has been pathetic since joining Chelsea, we need a replacement asap..hence no one would ask where the fuck is Torres.As for Mikel, realistically speaking, I don't see him leaving Chelsea anytime soon.

He would give us very strong defensive cover and is more than capable of filling in (and playing well) as a CB. Depth is good anyway.

Ollie 4,400 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I don't think Ibra was made available, just PSG threw their money around like mad men and made a ridiculous offer Milan accepted. This January will probably be a bit boring but if we really want to win the league and other things, we need to bring in a striker. I'm stating the obvious but it needs to be done.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Ins - A cheap striker who is good but not playing much. Matri has been linked, sounds about realistic. Oh God, no. Not Matri please! The most frustrating player in the world. I'd much rather Torres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray 9,441 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Witsel was pure class again. The best belgian tonight with kompanyTrue! Witsel was a BOSS on that midfield. He would add so much to this team ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I don't care who we sign, i'd just celebrate seeing any striker ahead of the one we have. Maybe we should go n sign Darren Bent, he's out of favour and knows how to put a ball in a net. Just please get someone, anyone. sLOVEnian Blue and Blue-in-me-Veins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
