Mario Gómez

[Spike 12,049]

Pfft.. none of you thought he was overrated before the match, no, he was going to score a hattrick on account of our poor defenders

Really, he's just a shit Inzaghi. Perhaps more prolific than the great Pippo but he'll rarely score when you need him to. 25 goals past former East German mining outposts makes him a world class player?

And Inzaghi didn't have the height or strength Gomez has. Don't forget all those goals in the Champions League.

TOO happy to make fun of a guy who had a bad game ,,, oh maybe just a small laff at Robben

To be fair, this isn't the first time he has managed to play massively below expectations.

Me and my friend used to make jokes about him a few years ago. We called him a lumberjack and whatnot. He used to miss some incredible sitters. He is the opposite of Drogba - shines in small games, chokes in big games.

It's funny how time can make looking back at these threads hilarious. Tough break for Gomez.

[capriccioso 2,545]

I revise my earlier position, he could actually be importance to us. Our players are excellent at lifting their game several notches for the big games, but get complacent when playing the littler teams. Someone like Gomez who thrives on little teams could be the difference for us. Lets not forget he has 25 league goals this season (last season?), albeit against dubious opposition, we don't have anyone capable of getting 25 in matches against Wigan, Stoke, Liverpool, QPR, etc.

Whether that is worth the massive fee Bayern will demand is another story.

Liverpool are not really a big club anymore in terms of Football. They're one season away from becoming a true midtable side.

According to German newspaper Bild, Mario Gomez is again our target and he is likely to be Torres replacement.

NOOOOO!

For the love of God, noooo

He's basically the opposite of the type of striker we need.

He's a target man who scores tons of tap-ins. We need a workhorse like Cavani or a fox in the box like Falcao, not the German Cheatcharito.

^ I think we could do with both. Time to ditch 4-2-3-1 and play a good old-fashioned 4-4-2!

[Styles 9,790]

I would be exteremly upset if we bought this donkey. We already haver Torres to miscontrol the ball and look out of place, we don't need another technically deficient moron up top.

Really would like to see a 4-4-2 at times next season.

Ba and Lukaku would probably destroy together. Who would our opponents mark!? Would be nasty.
