I would like Jackson Martinez. Tall, strong, agile, explosive finisher, ticks all the boxes really. He's averaged 30 goals a season for a few years now, ok granted not in the strongest league but he scored 8 goals in the CL this year as well. Most of the strikers we buy tend to come with average scoring records and I think it's time we took punt on someone more prolific.
The only issue I have with Martinez is he'll be approaching 29. Ideally I'd like someone younger but if he can improve us then why not?
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
as NQ says, we really need an explosive type striker, obviously the likes of Aguero and Suarez are impossible to get but someone of that ilk would push us to the next level.
I havent seen enough of this Martinez guy to pass judgment but it sounds like he is the kinda striker we need and has a god scoring record. For those who say Portugal isnt the strongest league, look at Giroud who got 21 goals in France before he came here and has since improved and managed to get a decent scoring rate going, so i dont think Martinez would have any issues really.
The Daily Heil will link us to a different player every single day, just like last summer.Originally Posted by Niall_Quinn

Do Liverpool realise that they can buy from other clubs outside of Southampton?
Rodgers has a bigger full-back fetish than Rafa.
I do wonder about the people at Liverpool sometimes.
Absolute amateurs.
Benzema is going to be 28 this year and I cannot see him hustle and bustle with the GHEL's of the league. I have not seen one game of his in which he has stood out as an exceptional talent. He is a good striker playing for a very very good team... Of course he could come and hit the ground running but I do not see him having what it takes to succeed in the PL.
Most importantly, he is not worth it for the cost he'll come at.. I'd rather we go for someone like Lewandowski for that price. I'd even take Benteke and Lukaku over him, and I think they'd be cheaper than him too.
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
Clyne is decent though, better than most of the dross Rogers has bought.
Ings and Milner though
