Overall he is a worse footballer than Torres but at the moment Fletcher is the better Striker. Fletcher isn't that bad on the ball to be honest.

Point is hes good with his head and in the box, all we need to do is neglect him when hes not in the box :P

I swear if someone quotes either of us (or just mentions it) and says "Fletcher is a Liverpool signing" I will go postal.

A young, amtitious striker being signed will only harm torres confidence. We either have to sell torres or keep him as undisputed first choice, otherwise he is uneffective. Apparently the club has chosen to Keep Torres...

Torres "admitted without doing so" in his first interviews that he went to Chelsea to find a team where he could be a part of the team, a striker among other, an offensive option among others... and not being the one with a whole club on his shoulders.

Moaning on Torres wasting the incredible good service he got week and week out last season already makes sense, there's no point to invent such clueless presumptions about his confidence too

Again I say, what does he offer that Sturridge doesn't?

Heading play (winning challenges and offensive heading play), direct play on him. But on the other hand it's true that he offers similar abilities, what we can expect from a striker habile with the ball: he shoots a lot, he dribbles and gets fouled quite often. And he can create chances for his team mates as well, he'll end up his runs at the right place in the box...

Sturridge is clearly a striker that has to be searched through space thanks to his explosivity and his incredible speed on short/long distances ; Rondon would be a striker suited for crosses and aerial balls

Overall he is a worse footballer than Torres but at the moment Fletcher is the better Striker. Fletcher isn't that bad on the ball to be honest.

He played behind Derek Riordan at Hibs in Scotland, I must admit I've been surprised when I saw him playing like a trequarista. But since he's at Wolves McCarthy used mostly a 4-5-1 (except at the start of the 2010/2011 season where he played 4-4-2 but Ebanks Blake was on a scoring run), Doyle played mainly until he got injured. Then Fletcher ended the season with 7 in 10 games (or something like that) alone upfront

I don't think for all that he became a real fox in the box, it's just a matter of roles.

I think I'm going to make a transfer thread for him :D

Which is exactly my point. With the side we're building, crossing will be less frequent, so the need for someone aerial automatically reduces.

As Sturridge is pretty good with his feet as well, Sturridge is far more suitable IMO.

I was just trying to answer to the question "what Rondon offers that Sturridge doesn't"

We just cannot say that we're going to play one style and that we'll have to strick some aspects or playing styles. We need several offensive solutions and different offensive approaches on a whole season

I think we need one more striker and I'd go for a fox in the box able to play one touches relays in the box, be at the right place to end the actions. A kind of Mario Gomez discount

My comment wasn't necessarily aimed at yours. I agree though that we could do with a specialist in the box. Sturridge and Torres aren't bad at poaching themselves but then again, it requires exquisite service into the final third.

Gomez scores loads because he's always in the right place at the right time but he's also blessed with the fact that he has the likes of Ribery, Robben, Schweinsteiger and Kroos in his team who can all deliver that final pass.

We're starting to get players who have the technique and consistency in finding their last man when they need to in Hazard and Oscar (plus Mata of course), but we'll see how their relationships develop over the course of the season.

Rondon isn't the player we should go for as there are many better alternatives IMO.
