I think we should just go in for Michu, i think he could be better than Giroud in most aspects and i dont think they can say no to an offer of 15mil+ (considering they paid 2m) + With the world cup comming up, i think he would do anything at a bigger club to show off, that he should be picked instead of negredo/llorente/etc, so we would probably see him work his ass off.
I never knew that....hmmm. Sounds like a reason to stir waters. I don't think he would want to leave, but that doesn't mean he can under no circumstances be persuaded to. It's a world cup year, but Spain have gone through some effort to make sure he can play for them. It's likely he will make that squad failing an almighty incredible turn of events.
Everyone over Atletico Madrid knows deep down there is no way they will win the title in the end I suspect. You just can't upset the establishment over there.
Fuck knows what was going on with that.If only Liverpool had operated that way
It only really obligated us to turn on SSN in the training ground.
Nah, he's broken and has dodgy knees, the last thing we need is another fragile flower.
If we want to raise the bar then Michu is NOT the answer. Giroud is a better player and offers us more.
if we dont/cant find a striker, then maybe we should go for a wide attacker (left) who can score goals? all the big clubs have wide goal scorers and dont rely as much on a central striker (Ribery, Robben, Bale, Ronaldo, neymar, Sanchez, Hazard etc). Remy would be good.
Remy has been in good form this season but he still has that rape charge hanging over him. Until that's resolved, I don't think we can consider him.
Podolski and Walcott have scored more than most of those you mention. Arsenal were one of the teams that relied most on our wide attackers to score last season.
I love Giroud, but he is not the kind of goalscorer we need. Im curious how you can say that Giroud offers more, when Michu has the same tools, but is faster, seems to be a smarter striker* and has better finishing. (*Has only played one full season as a striker and that was his first year in the premier league, in which he scored 18 goals, 22 in all competitions). I truly believe, if given the chance in a big club as a striker, we would see the same kind of development that Diego Costa is going through right now.
Always really liked Giuseppe Rossi and just found out he is the top scorer over in Italy with 13 in 16 league games. I know he's small but I'd welcome him with open arms.
Giroud works as hard as anyone in the league, wins most balls, challenges for everything, brings the midfield into play and his one touch flicks often put players through on goal leaving the opposition defence ball watching, not to mention his goal scoring which is not bad this season, a goal every couple of games.
Michu looks a bit more mobile but our team doesnt need another tall striker who can play as a target man, we need an henry type who runs in behind and gets goals out of nowhere. can you honestly say that having Michu would help us beat the big sides and challenge properly?
