All this talk of Higuain and if Rodgers stays we all know we will end up with Ings. Maybe those who don't rate Higuain want to take a second and compare him to Ings and the pile of **** strike force Rodgers has assembled.
And how many did loldado score in the season before he joined spurs? Stats mean **** all on their own mate - is higuain made for the prem? Or does the OAP speed of serie A flatter him?
after watching falcao, balotelli, di maria, Torres, Sheva, and Forlan be the worst attackers in prem history, I'd take a punt on Higuain. You never know who will end up good. The obvious quality is anything but.
doesn't matter if he is ****ing the pope on live tv he is going to the mancs so this fanboy says he is a ****
No cos he likes Utd. .. he's a deviant. He should crawl across broken glass to play for our great club
I think Pierre Aubameyang is a very option for us. Hope we go in for him. Lacazette would be the best but unlikely.
Not convinced by them. Lacazette has had one really good goalscoring season. I'd like to see him play another season and score at the same rate before I'd be convinced that we should spend the £30m+ we'd have to spend to get him. Same with Aubameyang. His goalscoring record is quite ordinary for the money he'd cost.
Thas part of the problem though. We wait another year and if Lacazette hasn't already been snapped up then he gets clubs like Madrid Chelsea batten interetsed for £35m rather than £20 and we can't compete. If we wait until players have 2 great seasons when they are 23/24 then the costs goes sky high and we can't afford them or attract them. We need to take risks on players before they become great like we did woth Torres and Alonso and Suarez. Depay, Lacazette both touted as great potential last year, now this year are probably too good for us
It's all opinions I suppose. Personally I thought he was sharper upto about 2012 when I was a big fan of his. My opinion of him changed in the last 3 years as I've found him to be a bit one-dimensional. He doesnt get involved enough in the build up play and his finishing has become erratic. In the old days he could play anywhere including as a right wing forward which gets forgotten. I would have loved to him at United back then. IMO his best game was as a foil for others, but as I've said above he's lost his sharpness in that respect so whereas in the past he used to create for others as well as bag himself goals, I now find he just prefers to play off the shoulder and has less to his game now. That was already showing to some extent (especially his inconsistent finishing) in his last season at Real Madrid and imo he's regressed as a player since. So I'm not simply saying he's **** bcos he plays in Serie A, I'm saying yeh he was once great and would have done well in the prem, I would have loved him at United 5/6 years ago, but his game is limited now and dont let his stats alone be the basis for judgement as he is no longer good enough for the prem. In that sense he is now like a Huntelaar. Btw he's also a massive "confidence" player which also needs to be taken into account.
