Are Suggs and Madness any good at football ? they're getting on a bit now too.
 
I could hear Welbeck screaming in the medical center the other day. Is he dead?

I think they are just experimenting on him - trying to turn him into a Frankenstein's football player! - Maybe if they weld on some finishing and composure then we might get a good player out of him! [or am I being harsh?]
 
Get Mario Gomez as backup to who? Giroud? To be honest, Giroud should be backup to the new CF that comes in. Or sell Giroud in a swap deal for Higuin and buy Gomez on the cheap.
 
Yeah, I would take him. Always been one of the most under-rated forwards in the game.
Is there an actual player in the world that you do not rate? If it was up to you, we would have signed every player linked to Arsenal this summer. <laugh>

Of the strikers we have been linked to..I'm not that keen on Jovetic, Icardi, Vardy,Deeny, Sturridge(injuries)or Zaza.

But Mario Gomez has consistently scored better than 1-2 for his whole career. He would be a decent addition. He would be solid competition for Giroud. Wouldn't be my first choice by a long shot but he's a quality player.

No he hasn't. He has managed 1-in-2 in only 6 seasons out of the 11 that he's played top flight football and not in a proper league since 2011/12. He could only manage 1-in-2 in two of the four seasons he had at Bayern. His stats scream quite good but not elite. And our squad is full of that already. And precisely one of the reasons we regularly don't challenge the big boys. Signing him will be the summer 2016 equivalent of our summer 2014 signing of Welbeck. Pointless. Adds nothing.

He wouldn't be a decent addition at all. We already have Welbeck and Giroud who can play up front. We only play one striker. So why would we buy a backup striker who's sole purpose would be to compete with our backup strikers? So we have three not good enough forwards competing with each other to be our first choice not good enough striker? Awesome. Can't wait.
