I dont understand media folks who say we "didnt need him, doesnt make sense" etc. Our only strike options were Cavani and Martial. Cavani cant play 2 games in a week, and will be gone for stretches due to international duty/injuries, and Martial is horribly off form. We needed a proper #9.
We signed Zlatan when he was 35 and he was fine in the PL. Christiano will be the same. Yes he is a short-term signing, but so was Cavani or Thiago Silva, and didnt see any pushback from media on that one either.
Sounds like some people are scared.
