Heisenberg 1,824 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Torres is better. iseah100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 What I like about this is his early goals, goals in pre-season should have confidence through the roof. His link up play already looks amazing with Cesc, not only that but he looks really comfortable with his back to goal and the ball at his feet.Right now he looks like a super buy.

MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Thing is defenders will now try to kick the hell out of him, he will either get mad and retaliate or be injured. I hope something can be done about this, I am sure a lot of defenders will be planning to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place to be 11,313 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 He's a striker playing with masses of confidence at the moment and that shows in his finishes. Direct and instinctive, the complete opposite of Torres.If he can keep that going throughout the season it will be an amazing feat, but I have a few worries about him having that inevitable dip.All promising so far though.

Fernando 6,585 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Calling it now ... provided he stays out of trouble and injury free, 25 league goals.I think he might get in trouble. You can just see it coming. It would be amazing if he doesn't get a silly red card this whole season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! The only place to be 11,313 Posted August 8, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted August 8, 2014 It's not just that he scored, but he made that goal out of nothing and how many times have we looked at strikers and wanted one of them?Reminds me of Crespo in the runs he makes and the way he uses his (surprisingly big) body. kellzfresh, zolayes, J.F. and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had it been Torres there, maybe it would have ended in 0-0. Barbara and The only place to be 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iseah100 5,612 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 So glad everyone Loves him. I knew he'd be a great buy, now everyone else does. Whoo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beigl 1,387 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 He looks good and sharp,but I am still not too convinced that our striker force as a whole can win us the title or the tight big games if Costa is suspended or injured.Drogba isn't the same anymore and Torres..is just Torres. killer1257 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him going through quite a lengthy goal drought last season for Atletico, he was still giving it his all for his team and his link up play was still excellent, and that isn't too bad IMO. Every striker goes through a drought, I won't mind as long as he bangs in enough goals for us this season.

Every striker goes through a drought, I won't mind as long as he bangs in enough goals for us this season.if he's in a goals drought giving passes like he gave for Salah and Matic at the other game (instead of going for the shot himself) and linking up well in general as he did in all matches he's played for us, it's still a great addition.And I must admit, I had a lot of doubts about this guy and I made them clear. Pre-season isn't the time to judge a player's capability (Marin anyone? Hazard anyone?), but I'm sold. All the reservations I had about him he already proved me wrong, very, very wrong. If he'll fit, if he'll struggle with the league, if he'll go through a goals drought are different matters all together, I'm not saying those things won't happen, but I can easily say my reservations with him are done.And I nearly committed a crime, a real atrocity when I said he and Lukaku were the same kind of striker. They look like the same kind of strikers, but Diego offers a set of skills I didn't see coming (or didn't know about) and that I don't think Lukaku can offer (at least not yet). I hope to never read again that he and Lukaku are the same kind of strikers because they just aren't. The Skipper and Dion 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Namika 922 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I'm not surprised at all. People were quick to criticize him and write him off after two WC games but anyone who watched Atleti knew that he's a great great player. iseah100 and Sheva. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Mans an absolute brute, I know its pre-season but I haven't been as excited about a striker we have signed since Sheva (who let me down with his poor record haha), can't wait to see him in action in the PL.
