Viper22 2,418 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Hard to say if they could keep all those strikers happy when they're all fit, because they've missed a ton of matches between them. Maybe our two striker system in the last couple of games could be used more but it's too early to say.This move seems dependent on us moving on either Torres or Cech though. We could keep 2 strikers happy throughout the course of a season with rotation and that's all we'd need. Drogba hasn't come back to play tons of games and he knows he's a bit part player. And Torres can frankly fuck himself. What is the worst thing he could do? Start missing sitters for us and request to be transfer listed?

I just think it's hard to expect either Cavani or Costa to be happy on the bench so that probably means Cavani on the wing which is apparently why he's not too happy at PSG. It'd be a juggling act and I personally think Schurrle can play that second-striker role on the pitch effectively for us. Viper22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Mou used Milito and Etoo, plus Sneijder in Inter.We could have Costa, Cavani and Hazard. Its up to Mou what he wants. But I doubt we will go with two strikers and therefore, Cavani wont be coming.Getting that second choice quality striker ala Bony would still be must to get.

He's very good but not quite that good. Both Costa and Cavani can and have played on the wings before so if we just rotated who played striker around between games or even during the game it would keep them both happy and be a fucking nightmare to try and mark for the defenders. And that's if neither of them gets injured. We'll play around 70 games or so this season I reckon, 35 games would be enough for both of them to be happy I reckon.

The only place to be 11,313 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 One thing about Bony....he's probably going to the African Cup of Nations (with Drogba) which means he'll miss these games Swansea AWAYMan City HOMEVilla AWAYEverton HOMEWould rather we went for a striker who is there when WE need him.

What would be our best bet do you reckon?Rodriguez is out for a few more months but he's HG. Remy and Hernandez are both poachers like Costa and Lukaku so I'd like Benteke. A real target man, at his best he's up there with Drogba in terms of being unplayable but he's still injured too.Slim pickings at the moment.

The only place to be 11,313 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Can't we just re-sign Flo? Never really minded being on the bench, a real game-changer, started some games and didn't disappoint and we made a huge profit on him when we flogged him.Think we only signed him a few days before the season opener at Coventry so there's still time for us to do something now.

Whiskey 173 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Cavani isnt impossible. Its not about "having too many strikers" or "mourinho has the strikers he want".We all know everyone would like to get rid of Torres and that would open up doors. I seriousley believe the issue is they cant get rid of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good player and happy to sit on the bench. There's also rumours of LVG not wanting him and wanting to offload him. I agree with the Benteke assessment though, he'd offer a nice alternative to Costa. Like Lukaku, before he upped and quit like a little bitch The only place to be 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be probably £9-12m or so and would be happy to play 20-25 games a year.I thought he was unhappy there because he can barely get a game? He'd be in a similar situation here with Costa the undeniable first choice striker.He'd get more minutes here than at United I'd think, but will he really trade one bench for another? Not to mention there's that little task of convincing United to sell a player to a direct rival. Unlike us selling Mata to them last season when they weren't a threat, they'd be selling Hernandez to a team they're hoping to compete with this coming season.

Popular Post! bababoom 4,478 Posted August 5, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted August 5, 2014 Hernandez' overall play is pretty poor though, in all honesty he is just a poacher. I would much rather buy Remy who's not only cheaper but a better all around player that can add more than just goals.
