Quit trying to kid yourselves. Sturridge and Balotelli are top strikers. Giroud would be 3rd choice striker at best at a mediocre Premier League era club in Liverpool and the only top 7 side he could hope to get a game for is Spurs, and even then hes at the mercy of Adebayors mood. And even the likes of Newcastle and Stoke would probably prefer their current options. This is French nepotism now and its costing us, somebody needs to have a word with Wenger.

Balotelli is not yet a top striker, he still has that to prove. Also, Chelsea selling a player to us; really?

4th place :trophy:

16 million for a striker though, that's cheap, for that you usually get second rate players like Giroud, not players capable of being world beaters, it's a no brainer signing this guy.

Yes he comes with a level of risk, but even if he doesn't work you can sell him and get your money back and more and if it does, well you've just bought one of the most gifted strikers in world football who will also be worth an absolute packet.

Can you imagine if an English player scored 2 goals in the Euro 2012 semi-final? He'd have a stadium named after him by now. If people like Owen and Rooney are/were top strikers then so is Balotelli.

In fairness to Rooney, he has had two 30 goal seasons whereas Balotelli has not yet reached 20. Though I think Rooney can no longer be classed in that bracket either, certainly not when RVP will continue to be played ahead of him.

As I said on this thread many, many pages ago Balotelli has all the talent in the world but has not yet applied it as he should have.

I don't really care for what players do in international tournaments as to whether they should be signed or not.
