Mouri_Matic 560 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Only seen bits from him but he looks useful. what his goal ratio like in PortugalVery good he scored like 34 goals and I am sure they don't play as many games as we do, maybe like 50 matches.

The Skipper 20,609 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Martinez is not the type of striker we need. I feel many that want him here haven't actually seen him play a lot, they just look at his goal scoring ratio which is very impressive but he isn't particularly good at link up play and playing in between the lines - what he is great at is utilising his explosiveness to get into the box. He's pretty much a great poacher. I doubt the club are actually looking at getting him in because he doesn't suit the profile of the type of striker we're trying to get in. He is a great striker and has the capabilities to score great goals for sure but he isn't the sort of striker we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooney is the perfect man but we won't be able to get him. So who?Actually enough the link up play thing, it is about time we need some one to stop tracking back and actually get into goal scoring position to score. If you want link up you can have Torres all day long, he do a wonderful job at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want link up you can have Torres all day long, he do a wonderful job at that.We've already got a striker that can do all of which you've mentioned in Lukaku. Lukaku is an explosive player that is very dangerous in the box and could very well be just as good as Jackson Martinez if we give him a run in and play in a system that suits that sort of play but the thing is we don't. Torres' link up play is poor, again I question if you actually watch Chelsea play. How anyone thinks Torres' link up play is wonderful is beyond me. Mourinho himself said that he wants a striker that can play in between the line a link play up well.We shouldn't be buying a new striker just for the sake of buying a new striker. We need to make sure they're the right player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't Mourinho the person that determines who we need? he might go for a goalscorer if Rooney can't be signed. Because there isn't many players similar to Rooney out there.

The Skipper 20,609 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Yeah but what if there isn't a right player?Then you don't buy and just wait until one will be available. No need in wasting money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because there isn't many players similar to Rooney out there.I'm going by what Mourinho said - he said we need a player that can link up well and play in between the lines. If we don't find anyone then we might as well just give Lukaku who clearly is a goal scorer himself a chance to play regularly as our number 1 striker.
