It's not only about burying chances, getting the opportunity usually involves quick movement. Many chances are created that way as well, through pressing, being first to loose balls etc. A front three of Coutinho, Buendia and Suarez would risk being static.

Basically, we need someone with Ollie's work ethic, and tenacity, who can finish like Ings in his prime. As we know, that probably wouldn't be cheap at all!

Ali Dia played in the premier league, was he a PL level striker? The fact I have no idea who that is might answer that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Happy for him here for a season. Give us more firepower albeit either from the bemchbor playing 45 mins from the start. With other areas being priorities we might have to wait a season for a real top striker in his prime. Plus he would be a great face of the franchise for Las Vegas Villans. Perfect for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awol Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Gerrard playing 4D chess and using Suarez as the bait to attract Nunez. No? Okay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 If we wanted to sign an over the hill ex Liverpool striker from La Liga we should have tried to sign Iago Aspas. Still a good scoring rate for a shitter team and a true leader at Celta Vigo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted May 27, 2022 Moderator Share Posted May 27, 2022 I think for me the important thing about the handball against Ghana is that it was twelve years ago. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with the two 10s you need a player like Suarez who knows where to be, anticipates passes etc.. we see how well Ings links up with Buendia, because he has that poachers brain and the way he thinks. Watkins doesn't have that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere one reason it didn't work out for him in the Prem was that he didn't understand a single word of English, so after a while he just gave up and went home.

Some lacky in the AFA will have been told by some big wig "make sure you don't mention that these two were in a high risk area two days ago".
