Agree with the shooting part though just as long as he doesn't shoot ridiculously like Sturridge did.

*cough*Ramires*cough* Or the somewhat surprising ones that Mikel did. If we add De Rossi to our squad then we're in for a treat next season. :)

At least they seem to do it with some purpose. In Sturridge's case, he always does without even thinking. Anytime he can cut onto his left shoot, he will just shoot, even if it's from the ridiculous angles and distance!

you don't tell me. when all those rumors came up with KDB being part of the deal I started pulling my hair.

That's the biggest news of it all

You don't, but that's okay. Unrequited love is fashionable.

And I thought I was hiding it so well :(

ugh, don't let me start with Ramires

did you guys called him as many names as I did in the very last matches? I wanted to die from the passes and shootings coming from him.

Also Andy is quite young himself, he has plenty of time to improve his finishing. As someone said, finishing is something you can work and improve with time, goals' flair isn't, you either have it or not.

And I thought I was hiding it so well :(

no luck!
But I ship you and Belgian girl, so we're good.
You answer me, that already makes my day, fellow countryman.

And you should go out tonight. I would if I were you ;)

does anyone here really watched Bundesliga/Germany matches last season and knows how good he would be if he was a second striker, playing between the AM and the FW?

Not a watcher but I have a feeling he will be a kuyt.

I think torres will be happy to have him around.....

hmmm. Thanks!

I only have an opinion based in the article someone posted and their review about Andy, but I can't say I know the guy.

A Kuyt-alike could be sort of useful.

Most misleading stat ever. Schurrle is a good finisher.

Cristiano Ronaldo: Missed the target with more shots (76) than any other player in Europe's top 5 leagues this season

Doesn't mean Ronaldo is a bad finisher now does it?

Spot on!!!

If you want to score, you have to shoot. C ronaldo knows this more than anyone.

I remember a lot of matches last season where we went an entire half without a proper shot on goal. And defenders easily stayed deep and defended us since they knew we were only going to be passing about.

Now if defenders stay deep, we have a proper threat from outside the box.

I was probably the happiest person when hazard and luiz started scoring a few long range screamers because I thought we needed that badly.

It's not that simple. You can say "we need to shoot more" but shots do not equal goals. ManU had the most goals and averaged the 7th most shots. We had the second most goals and averaged the fifth most shots. Arsenal had the third most goals and the 6th most shots. Good teams are going to take roughly 15-18 shots a game no matter what. It's not like you had a more direct player and all of a sudden, we go from 16.5 shots to 20 shots. Schurrle won't be able to take the same number of shots he took last year. More like half of them which is probably good because he was extremely inefficient at scoring. Yes, we could be more direct and the more different ways you can attack the better, but the real thing we're missing IMO is width. The player who stretches the defense to allow the forwards some space, the player who can cross the ball into the box for our attackers to well...attack.

Mr Mod? C'mon man. I'm not a dictator here. :lol:

Exactly, that's my job.

As for Andy, stats are misleading. Remember when I used statistics to make Salomon Kalou look a brilliant player in 2009?

Andy puts away 9% of his shots - that's because he shoots more than most players I can think of - as opposed to Torres, who probably puts away 15% of his shots but shoots half as much.

Scurrle has been a slightly better, German Sturridge. Fast, shoots a lot, and when played on the wings always cuts inside. I'm hoping he finds a few more dimensions to his game with his move here.

Curious to see what happens to Hazard if Schurrle plays predominantly on the left. Eden on the right or in the middle, or will they never play together...

Glad Jose's in charge and not me

Hazard is not effective on the right so if they play together it will be Hazard in the center or Hazard on the left and Schurrle on the right

But then you have Schurrle out of his best position and you take away a major part of his game, namely his ability to cut onto his strong foot and shoot.
