The only place to be 11,313 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I don't know why all of you hate Gomez, this guy is beast. Scores a lot of goals every season.I don't hate him - I love him.Behind Drogba, Lamps, Ashley and Cech this guy was probably our best player in Munich.

Sheva. 5,373 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 If we get him, he will score lots of goals. Sure they will be against the mediocre teams, but still got to beat them lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stats 7,142 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 It is not just mediocre teams he scores against though is it? He scored a hatrick last season against Napoli, 2 against City and also scored against Real Mdrid. Just wanted to end that notion that he does not score against big teams.

He's like a far better version of Torres - who scores sporadically vs the mediocre teams and once a season vs the big teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 As said, he's the player who'll wrap up the 3 points vs. the Wigans, Southamptons & West Hams of this world, but more than likely be a ghost vs. the big teams.I'd take him for £15m or under (not idea if that's likely or not) if he isn't going to be relied upon being our main striker - which he probably would be. So, eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Would rather get a ST who can score against the big teams and small teams and create for others. Furthermore, buying a limited ST like Gomez would affect the way we play too because then, it will all center around creating chances for the ST and only the ST to score.

But what's so bad about the st scoring? i like the way goals are distributed around the team, but there are games where the striker just gets nothing to work with and that's not good. We need to be able to get our strikers scoring regularly, and if any others can add goals then great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore, buying a limited ST like Gomez would affect the way we play too because then, it will all center around creating chances for the ST and only the ST to score.spot on, guys. There is a reason, why Bayern play Mario Mandzukic vs the big teams and not Gomez. For ages strikers have defined themselves only about their scoring, esp from poaching. Some have developed extraordinary finishing abilities. But I do not think Gomez would affect our play so much. A striker who has a good linkeup often misses in the box. Gomez surely does not have that problem. he would offer less for the combinations but he would not force us to play a different way. he would simply be there and convert. Against the smaller teams where we usually are wasteful this would be great, but if we want to buy s.o. who is our main man in the big matches we have to look further. Also I think it would not even make much difference putting Lampard as a striker or Gomez. Both rely on their finishing and positioning. Gomez is maybe a bit taller and faster, but that's it.

We need to be able to get our strikers scoring regularly, and if any others can add goals then great.At least we know we'd put the double over teams like QPR with Gomez around.I know we are desperately looking for a striker who can solve our scoring problems but don't think we should be targeting a one dimensional striker like Gomez. He may score against the lesser teams but a more all rounder kind of striker could easily do that as well and against the big teams too! And if he's isn't scoring the goals, at least he will create for others, unlike the one dimensional goal poacher like Gomez. Furthermore, getting an all round striker would offer us more variations in our play through link up plays etc as opposed to just create chances for the ST and does nothing else. And the players such as Oscar, Mata, Hazard, Moses, Ramires and possibly Schurrle are not just goal creators but also goalscorers themselves. Because of this, we need to have ST who can score themselves but also equally capable of creating for others to do so. Would be so so much better to have a team where the goalscoring exploits come from everywhere(like this season perhaps) rather than just rely on the ST and hope the others pop in a few too.
