9.16 goals in all competitions for the season, 8 of which he missed through suspension.
so admit it then - we agree in financial terms at least a fantastic signing
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
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.
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.
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.
Shove that goal up your arse Ross
Sorry, am I taking stick off someone who advocated the signing of Downing ?
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.
I don't see why you're all being so fucking thick.
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.
