    Xfaxtor got a reaction from strider6004 in Wilfred Zaha   
    But Drinkwater was an important piece for a title winning Leicester side and made the England side who played at the Euros so that doesnt fit your argument bow dies it? Im not saying Zaha is a great player or that I even want him. But saying we shouldnt buy him because he hadnt won anything or saying he shouldnt replace someone whos won the lot is stupid.

    Costa has been absolute w**k, why do you think Atletico are looking at Morata? Hes never coming back. Especially not under Sarri, I dont think I can come up with a worse fit for this system if I tried. 
    Also, Higuain isnt cup tied for the EL, theres no such thing.

    Xfaxtor got a reaction from the special one in Christian Pulisic - Official   
    If he isnt brought here to score goals, what is he brought here to do? Yes a striker would help, but we are desperate for our attacking mids to be able to produce, if he isnt going to help us score goals I really question how you can be excited avout this signing.
    Also, why is everyone so quick to point out how he will help our «marked value»? Are we as fans getting a share of the profits? You know what would really help marked value? A player that bangs in goals

    Yeah but Napoli had Higuain banging in twenty a season. Have Mertens and have creativity and goals in Hamsik and Insigne.
    Liverpool’s attacking midfielders of Mane, Salah and to an extent even Shaquri all out score most of our team.
    Spurs have Harry Kane arguably the best centre forward in the world right now.
    City have quality stacked through their front line, their reserves would get in our first XI.
    Hazard is one of our two world class players along with Kante... players like him don’t grow on trees and aren’t easily replaced. I’d argue the last world class winger we had before Hazard was Robben, so you think how long it took us to truly replace him.

    You could also see how much Pep respects his ability on the ball. Whenever City pressed they tried their best to block off Luiz and have either Rudiger get the ball or make sure that two men blocked the mid channel and force Luiz to play in Alonso. Still wasnt enough, that long crosser for our first goal is something no other defender in the prem does after him

    It all boils down to what you want in a defender and how you want to play. If I we are parking the bus and playing 11 men inside our own box trying not to concede Cahill is the betyer option. If we are playing expansive football were our CBs are required to press high up the pitch, distribute from the back and take the ball upfield then Luiz is the better option. Sort of the same with Carvalho/Gallas.

    This was what Napoli fans said of Dries Mertens. Just sayin. Doesnt have to be Werner, but I think a similar striker would fit better then an out and out target man

    Well he has strength and dribbling ability and he isn't exactly slow but he i certainly lacking a bit of polish atm. 
    Currently for me he is a good squad player similar to Chalobah or Mikel in that they are useful to have as back up and rotation but aren't good enough to be a starter at a top side.
    That said I do think he has enough potential to be able to make it at a top six side and I definitely don't see him being any worse than say Lingard, but I do think he will need to start playing regularly if he is going to achieve that.
    I think we will have a much better picture come January as there are at least 7 games for him to show us what he can do in a Sarri side.

    2018 and people are still sughesting Luiz should play in midfield. Thought the myth that he could actually perform that role was long gone
