It's very fashionable and "in" to rate him these days. Everyone calls him an underrated serial winner nowadays so it's not that surprising.Amazed at how much he is rated in here
Yeah him and ThuramWouldn't be against it if we also get a younger striker as well. I don't want him being our main option, as a bench and rotation option though he could be useful for a season
Would you go kane over Osimhen/VlahovicI’ve always thought he was rather underrated but he’s too old. A stop gap is needed though and then all out for Kane in the summer.
Yeah. It depends what you’re expecting. Ibra was good. Larsson was class but barely played. Can’t think of any other good ones in the mid-30s age bracket. I would say Ronaldo but both we and he expected better.These oldish signings up front rarely work out
I am greedy and want bothIf and I don't believe it would happen Giroud is available on a 6 month loan then he would definitely be worth having as a striking option in the short term, he is still capable at the top level and offers something very different to our current players.
So would we want to start him most games, nah! but games where the opposition has parked the bus, or to try something different for the last 25 minutes I do not see the problem, obviously it would all come down to finances, but if our option is Giroud for 6 months or Thuram for £15m, or Depay for ??? I would take Giroud please
Yeah just cause I know he’s good at PL level. Those other two are exciting but I want a guaranteed 20+ goal man for a few years. Think Kane would be great in the system we want to play too!Would you go kane over Osimhen/Vlahovic
Yeah it has reduced our striking options to an injury prone Martial and Rashford who prefers playing off the left anywayI wouldn’t complain but I can’t see it happening. I hope this season is the last we’re seeing off these short term striker deals after Cavani, Ronaldo, Ighalo. This time it seems like a perfect storm of bad luck rather than bad management. It’s not every day that you have two strikers in your team, where one was effectively sacked, and one is suspended for being an alleged scumbag who if guilty will be sacked faster than you can say his full name.
To be fair, at least with the later ones I’m guessing we had Martial and Greenwood in mind at the time..He wouldn't be too bad I guess but it pisses me off that we are seemingly the only club constantly going for those fossil "stop gaps". It's fine if you do it once in a while but we do it literally every year nowadays. Falcao was supposed to be a stopgap, then Ibra, then Cavani, then Ronaldo, now Giroud? FFS.
Edit: just remembered we had Ighalo too
Totally agree, and would piss so off my Chelsea friends who love him.....Would be a prime example of the perfect stop-gap.
Same to you Robbie! Hope you’re well budTotally!
Happy New Year bud!
