Daniel1980 1,425 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I think it's just a precaution. He did look kind of slow and tired against France. He still has plenty of time until Swansea. I don't want him to play against them--would prefer him to rest--but I think he will play. Most of our players will be tired after the international games while Costa will be relatively fresh.

Atlas Lion 1,223 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Faking injury to come back because Spain are shit.TBH, the quicker Del Bosque steps down the quicker Spain become number 1 in my opinion. So much young hungry talent at their disposal yet he continues to play the ageing old guard or players based on seniority. It's disgusting.

MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Torres is an anonomly, no one will ever decline that rapidly ever again, not in their twentys anyway.Who are we to say? obviously Costa confidence is infinitely more than Torres so I doubt we will see scenes like when Torres got bullied by Rio last year. The thing is yeah he might not be in decline terminally but gradually. You won't see him making daring/long runs anymore in fear of hurting it again, after a while it just become a thing. At that point we better off having a striker who is on top of their game to lead the line, that is what I am worrying about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegenTerry 273 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Told you loaning out Torres would come back to haunt us. We need the saviour back from Milan and we need him back now!!!!No.Just no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 In principle I agree that knee problems are usually much more difficult to deal with. However, certain players have had numerous muscle problems and these niggling injuries do take a toll.Alexandre Pato for example used to (hopefully) suffer a lot from muscle issues exclusively. He hasn't had many injuries lately and is impeoving his game - hope he resumes his development.Also hope Remy was as good a bargain as people here seem to believe.Actually I didn't mean muscular issues couldn't disrupt his career just how Torres issues (knees) have nothing to do with a potential muscular injury proneness. It doesn't.Also I think people are making such a big deal about something we don't have a clue. It's overreaction because it's too early for any prognosis.

Polo7 3,496 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Hope he's not out for 6 weeks again.But he returned with a brace against Everton. Worth the 6 week layoff! iseah100 and Muzchap 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Precaution I bet. Send him home, work on him and good for Swansea.This. I think it is not a serious one, hopefully. The good thing, he will get a whole week to recover. And hey, we buy Remy for this kind of situation, whom we expect will happening sooner or later.

boshman 1,073 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Fuck. Sake..... I KNEW this would happen!!! Even if he is fit to play, rest him against Swansea, Remy And Didier can take care of that. We need him fit and firing for City the week after!

RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 And I don't blame Del Bosque for this one. Costa is on fire, and it is natural he is picked to play against France. Would be strange if it doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badboy 1,526 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Suarez is the best striker in the world in my opinion he just hasn't had the wild dips in form that the others have had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azul 1,615 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Zlatan is the best without a single doubt. There shouldn't even be a discussion. How is Suarez better than Ibra? He has 1 worldclass season and everyone goes bonkers. Ibra stayed at that level for about 6 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 TBH, the question in the thread title and poll is somewhat vague. When you ask who is the best striker at the moment, do you judge him just by the amount of goals he scored? If so, then Falcao probably wins it. But if you're judging it by their overall game and not just the goals, then Falcao shouldn't even be in consideration and Ibrahimovic and Suarez will arguably be the Top 2 in that regard.

Hybrid Angel 2,130 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Suarez is a magnificent cunt but for me Zlatan is from another planet. Just look up his goalscoring record in Wikipedia, they're one of the most consistent I've ever seen. It's not just his goalscoring ability, its his technique, passing, understanding of the game, strength, etc...I've always wanted to see Zlatan in Chelsea blue. Unfortunately it didn't happen.

We need the saviour back from Milan and we need him back now!!!!no we don't. player either The Great DD or Remy (who seems to be on form atm). Also going to a False 9 w/ Schurrle is an option. Please feel free to forget about our #9. That train has past us by already & it's time to move forward. If you want to see #9 play for CFC, you can always watch old videos or play FIFA.
