Worth every penny.

22m 10 league goals.

We could have bought Odemwingie for a tenth of that and been better off. And less embarrassed worldwide
 
How much is he worth now 30 million minimum so 22million wasted I dont think so - and there was I thinking you were an accountant no wonder Ireland's in the shit!!

By the way whos embarrassed -I know I'm not
 
I'm not embarrassed at all. I'd sell every single player in the squad for the right price.
 
so admit it then - we agree in financial terms at least a fantastic signing

I refer you to my above post.

Odemwingie was a fantastic signing at that price. A 10 goal striker for 22m isn't a great signing at all

Yup. Just like Darren Bent was able to replicate his goalscoring form in a better side.

8th and 11th place Tottenham ? Where he wasn't given much of a look in ?

I'm delighted now that the season is over Suarez has decided to buckle down and score some goals.

Wasn't given much of a look in perhaps for good reason.

And like you yourself often say, perhaps if he had've taken his chances better, Spurs might have finished higher up the table and he wouldn't have been sold off to some shit team.

Bent since Jan '11 in a relegation threatened Villa side - 37 games, 18 goals.
World Class Suarez in a midtable team - 39 games, 14 goals after today.
 
Which is again ignoring the point that it's been well established that players sometimes struggle to adapt to different styles of play and / or perhaps are better suited to being big fish in smaller ponds.

Intimating that we can buy an Odemwingie, stick him in the side and expect him to score the same amount of goals regardless of style of play or anything else is stupid.

So is Suarez struggling to adapt ?

Or is he just not as good as people think he is?
 
Bent bought for 18mil worth probably 8mil now. Suarez bought for 22mil worth 30 to 35mil (psg rumours ) BENT in demand throughout Europe

Thank FUCK your nothing to do with transfer policy or football finance. Why wont you accept we have a little gem on relatively low wages. Save your ammo for Carroll / Downing - now there is truly a finacial and footballing car crash of epic proportions
 
25 year old Suarez in a midtable team - 36 appearances / 16 goals (after today)

26 year old Drogba in a title winning team - 41 appearances / 16 goals

Chelsea should've sold "world class" Drogba after that season, shouldn't they. 20 odd million (8 years or so ago as well) for 16 goals. Pitiful.

I don't see why you're all being so fucking thick.

I'm not advocating putting a big for sale sign around his neck and flogging him off to the first bidder. I first made the comment when PSG were rumoured to be offering 40m for him. I would have happily sold him for that amount., I still would. He's massively overrated. And he won't ever be as good as Drogba.
 
No one is being thick Ross but if you're going to make stupid arguments based on stupid stats then prepare to get them right back.

You've read a couple of books and now you seem to think you've achieved a higher plane of understanding. Waffling on about "conventional footballing wisdom" when most of the time you're not really saying much different to anyone else.

This persona you've invented for yourself is a slightly more coherent but less entertaining version of Glock.
 
Sorry, am I taking stick off someone who advocated the signing of Downing ?

Did I? I think I've always said he's average but if that's who the club wanted then so be it.

I'm sure you'll go rooting to dig up something to incriminate me.

But if I did, yes, yes you are getting shit off me.

Ok, now that you've lost the argument why don't you have a pop at me.

Nice one.

Yeah you did.

You went along the it's okay to pay 20m for him because we don't know how much money we have route, then fucking moaned about the fact we didn't have money to sign a striker in January.
