Guest alex Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I'm not sure I'd class Drogba as a battering ram, tbh. The man's class and strong as an ox. Aye he is but that's the style of forward he is man. Fuck this, I'm off to watch some Gerd Muller and Romario videos, have a little cry then maybe even a wank afterwards. He's not, it's just what Chelsea made him, he was soft as shite when he first signed for them and the thought of him playing such a physical game was unthinkable. He was immensely strong though. He's just cut out the diving and theatrics and adapted to the physicality of the Premiership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 totally disagree....our main priortity aprt from a classy center back should be a creative goalscoring midfielder...someone who'l excite the crowd, create chances and score goals....but who the feck is that player because i can't think of any!! Any suggestions? jason koumas genuinely. Jesus wept. Genuinely. was probably wigans best player for the short time he was on today and is more attack minded and creative than any of our current CM's. wouldnt cost much either. If you think he's the answer you're out of your tree. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wacko Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 A top class striker is papering over the cracks. As noted in the OP, Owen will score bags of goals given the right service. And there's hardly been a striker in the history of football who scored bags without decent service. First and foremost, a side needs quality in midfield to dominate territory and possession. Buying a really, really good striker and telling everyone else to hoof the ball at him whenever they get it never got anyone to the top of the table.

That's not to say our strikers are brilliant, but they are good enough at this stage IMO. We're just not playing to them at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
