Atholy 1,293 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Started his topic in October 2011 but it is locked now Back then he was a steal... now you will pay a good amount of cash for him. Just scored 4 goals in his today game against Torino. That makes 7 goals in 2 games & back to back hattricks in the Serie A. He's a perfect false 9 and has a very good link up with Eden! Am I the only one that would still go for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it was intentional Great player though, but I wouldn't go for him, there are better options. He's been playing well since Milik injured but generally I don't think that he is much better than Senor Rodrigez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoyBlue96 990 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Hahahaha Drieske Mertens !!! He was a fan favourite when he was at PSV some years back. Never expected him to become this good! He's on fire for Napoli! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weckerz 3,781 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 He needs to add consistency to his game, he has terrific heights and terrible lows. He does have an eye for goal though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a goal, it counted, no need to explain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I've seen him play many times. Nothing special, I'll rather have Mahrez. Way too inconsistent and has too many brainfarts/poor decision making moments. Actually, he's not better than Pedro or Willian, I don't care what his stats say (besides playing as a false 9 or whatever). the wes, mashimaru161, Johnnyeye and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has scored 34 goals this season. 34 goals coming from some kind of left wing/hybrid striker position those are CR7 kind of numbers. how can you be inconsistent when you produce this kind of ouptut statistically? The few times I saw him he was immense, I mean balon d'or candidate amazing, scoring out of nowhere and dribbling around like hazard.

Leif 6,006 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Each time I've seen him it's been painful, because it's obvious 80% of his career has been wasted by him not being deployed as much of a goal orientated player. He's learned all the movement and trickery you can learn being a wing player - and taking that up front, and by chance being a very fine finisher, is exciting.

If he's available for £25m though I would imagine quite a few teams in for him. But this is part of the reason why I'd rather us not think short term in this window and buy stop gaps. Barkley is a very good piece of business in my opinion and anyone else who could be purchased at knock down fees (Sanchez?) or represent great value despite in January, but beyond this I'd rather us 'make do' and do our main business in the summer.
