NishC300 1,865 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 What do you think about Oscar Cardozo. He wishes to leave Benfica and at the right price, do you think he would be a good signing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,189 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 We need a top class striker, Cardozo isn't that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 He's a very good striker with all the attributes to make it in the Premier League. He's surprisingly fast for a big man, as well. Superb technique and strong on the ball, he'd definitely be a superior option to Torres. But if I recall correctly he is already 30/31, and Benfica would command a huge price.

ManchesterMatt 52 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I think we've made our position clear with regards Rooney - 'all or nothing'. I would prefer to stick with the view of only wanting to sign Rooney as I do not want us to be in the position where we end up signing a player who isn't 'quite up to it', albeit still rather good, and be in the position this time next season where we are looking to replace that striker with someone better.Basically, I would rather we went out and bought Rooney rather than buying an inadequate Plan B that will need upgrading next summer.

lucio 5,418 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 We need a top class striker, Cardozo isn't that.His goalscoring record would suggest otherwise. 105 in 160 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,189 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) His goalscoring record would suggest otherwise. 105 in 160In a shit league, yeah. Afonso Alves was a sensation in Holland, came to England and was shite. If he's that good why is he still available?

Shane 2,275 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Guys are you kidding or what? We need top class strike like Rooney, Ibra. Cardozo is in same level with Lukaku or Ba.Sometimes going out and splashing out on a 'World Class' striker doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we wasted our time with ramires , luiz and carvalho. Please don't compare Falcao to Cardozo, not even in the same league. Falcao will score goals wherever he goes, he's top class. Cardozo isn't top class he's a good striker, no more. We have good strikers, Torres, Lukaku and Ba, we need more and Jackson Martinez is another over priced striker that is not much better than we have.

chrismada9 1,948 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) Not my preferred choice, but he wouldn't be a bad signing... ... an exquisit penalty taker! Edited August 14, 2013 by chrismada9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucio 5,418 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 of course he is no sensation like falcao or cavani but i dont think he is too dissimilar to negredo. big , strong , good in the air , sledgehammer of a left foot.a lot more dangerous than donkey ba and el burroright now i would want someone better than him but if we signed a top quality midfielder also i think it would be a decent signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjperdeath 2,226 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I've watched the Portuguese league and Benfica quite some times. I'd take Cardozo only if we couldn't get Rooney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddish-Blue 2,517 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Cardozo is a good striker..but he's no better than Ba or Lukaku.If we're really looking for a decent striker.. I hear Pablo Osvaldo (Roma) is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
