Tomo 21,751 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Sometimes things don't work out at certain clubs. Look at Damien Duff, brilliant for Chelsea and Blackburn, shit for Newcastle then he signed for Fulham and all off a sudden his Chelsea/Blackburn form re-emerged.Should he have got played ahead of Torres last season? yes, would he have done better? almost certainly. Is he good enough for a team challenging for the title? im not so sure.If we want to kick ourself's about one forward, it should be Giroud, he turned us down for Arsenal because they had Wenger and we had Robbie, he would have been perfect for our system.

Benteke Lukaku and Sturridge are both better and far more proven EPL players. Tell me how many goals Geroud has against us; City; United; Liverpool and Spuds? Lukaku; Benteke and Sturridge have actually performed in such matches and produced motm performances. Geroud seriously what a load of crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geroud seriously what a load of crapHe's always been a very good player even before he started scoring, next time you see Arsenal watch him closely, his movement has defenders tripping over themself's.Funny you mention Ramsey, him in our pivot would be quite handy right now. And its Everton that should be on your list, they are the top 6 team, not Liverpool Jype 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoring is his main job, having Torres around made a lot of people forget what a striker's actual job is and all the players I mentioned are far more consistent over the course of the last 14 months than Geroud. Despite all of them being younger and still developing Benteke 38 appearances 23 goalsLukaku 36 appearces 18 goalsSturridge 20 appearances 15 goalsGeroud 40 appearances 15 goals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drogba (im not saying Giroud will be anywhere near as good as him btw) had a similar goal ratio in his opening two season's at Chelsea, but would you have swapped him for Van Nisseroy?

I'm pretty sure if we had RVN here Drogba would have out performed him in our system too. RVN still remains one of the best strikers in the EPL but probably would not have been as successful here as he was in United. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac.bo 48 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 We got rid of him for Ba... Enough said .Ba wont be here next season,Sturridge will get 20 goals+ unless injured every season. All the hassle to take him from Man Shity. Pace and eye for goal also English&young,another stupido call from Cfc grrrr,Cant wait who will replace :Cole/Lampard/Essien/Eto/Ba next season!!!

It's certainly looking like the worse piece of business we have done as far as out going transfers are concerned, specially when Torres/Ba/Eto'o are no where near the level needed to score constantly in the EPL for us while Sturridge scored for us while being played out on the wing.

Pace and eye for goal also English&young,another stupido call from Cfc grrrr,Cant wait who will replace :Cole/Lampard/Essien/Eto/Ba next season!!!We usually played him in the RAM role often, much like Shurrle today( an auxillary striker) while Ba plays as a regular CF/ST.Agrees that it was shitty business, but we never suspected him to be a major hit at the CF role. Can't blame the club for that. If we had kept him till the end of the season, we wouldn't even have gotten 15m for such worthless crap which used to be with us.

He had as many goals in the EPL as Drogba and Torres combined that year.Refrain from posting crap please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
