TacticalBlues 2,817 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 and now the papers say we have been scouting him recently. but he is only a second option if we fail with Rodwell. You gotta ask yourself, who is stupid here: the club or the papers?Shit just got scary...It'd better be the papers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambo 1,729 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Danny's physique is more suited to the wing than as a centre-forward.Yes, exactly. He's a bit frail for a CF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Abramovich 175 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Yes, exactly. He's a bit frail for a CF.He's not a powerhouse like Drogba or Lukaku but I wouldn't call him frail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laeth 527 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 ^ Messi ?Barcelona don't play with any real "striker" in the traditional sense of the role. All three forwards rotate around and are always drifting in and around the final third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace. 4,352 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Last time I checked messi played on the wide right and coming inside centrallyThen, it has been a long time since you watched Barça for the last time.Barcelona don't play with any real "striker" in the traditional sense of the role. All three forwards rotate around and are always drifting in and around the final third.Pep is André's "master", he wants to play the same kind of football. In this sense, it shouldn't be a problem.

Naked Mole Rat 437 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 We all know how the team's attack dies when Torres plays as our CF instead of Drogba. Torres is too weak and his work ethic and teamwork skills are not good enough to assume that lone forward role. And as far as I'm concerned, Torres is a bit stronger than Sturridge and is a better teamworker, so how is Sturridge going to make a great centre forward? I'd much rather see him stay on that right hand side where he can take one fullbacks who are relatively easier to beat. If Hazard does come, he should play on the opposite side while Mata moves toward the centre, which is what he does anyway. So yeah, similar to what natavTKL said:-------Lukaku (in the future)Hazard-Mata-Sturridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

termninja 5,290 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Oh if City get him I'm really gonna get pissed. If he dumps us in favor of joining them - fine, but if we don't even show interested then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hd123 5 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Why are we getting mad if city sign him? It's going to be really, really stupid on their part as they already have one of the best, youngest, attacks in the world. Their prime target should be replacing Lescott or finding a better LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TacticalBlues 2,817 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I'm not going to pay much attention to these rumours linking players with City - on top of Nasri, Johnson, Milner and their countless attackers their purportedly chasing the likes of Lavezzi, Neymar and Hazard? I’m sure they could accommodate him in some way but there comes a time when a squad is too saturated. Besides Hazard does seem like a clever player, he says all the right stuff and looks to be a consummate professional. Money doesn't drive him - many players would be coy on joining Arsenal with the trophy drought they’re experiencing today, but he sees beyond it and still maintains some yearning to play for them. I think with AVB's attacking philosophy, the money we can offer Lille and the void he can fill - we do stand a chance. Remember our pursuit has been described as the "closest".I'm just hoping Madrid don't pursue him just yet because with Zidane (his idol) and his open love for Madrid it'd be bordering the impossible to say no to Zizou knocking on your front door and asking you to play for Madrid.

ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Have we actually been seriously linked with him at any point? I mean has his agent said anything? I'm not really following this section that closely anymore as it takes very little to get a story going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
