Figures 1-0 Football Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Why are they willing to let him go if he's a proven Bundesliga player? Just asking. Because as one of the top teams in Germany, they could be confident they could replace him with someone of equal or better quality. As we're lingering in the second division in England, this would be a brilliant signing - especially when you look at our other options in comparison to our rivals in this league.

54 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Why are people unconvinced by his guy? He's scored goals in leagues way better than this one. Which leagues are way better than this one? Bundesliga, it assume. Although apparently his record is inconsistent at Wolfsburg, so the jury is out. He also scored 32 in 34 at Heerenveen, and i'd say Eredivisie is on par with the Championship. 36 goals in 80 games for Wolfsburg is inconsistent? Pretty much 1 in 2, what does he need to do - score in every game? I'm just saying what people who have seen him have said, i'm actually fairly confident that he'd score a fair amount for us in the Championship, but from what others have said and looking at his record, he's had one really good season at Wolfsburg which dwarfs his stats somewhat. He seems to be a player that scored 8-12 goals a season on average. Which isn't bad by any stretch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Why are people unconvinced by his guy? He's scored goals in leagues way better than this one. Because most of the time when he's had good seasons he's basically been fed goals on a plate. Like I said he should do well in this division but tbh his goal record is a bit misleading. WTF? He's a striker, he's supposed to be putting chances away and by the sounds of his record he has been doing it and if he's getting in those positions and making it look so easy then great. I've never seen him play before but I don't think I believe that you've seen much of him either. I have seen enough, I will confess that I haven't seen 100s of matches or anything. Just saying that there's a consistent theme with him that most of his good season he played with some really good talent and he went on huge runs of goals and then huge goal droughts. Just saying that someone's stats are not always hugely representative of someones ability and that's been the case from what I have seen also. But like I said he'll probably do well at this level.

Liverpool finished 8th last season and Chelsea 10th, are they not top teams? And if he is not viewed as a first team player this season, they'd only need to replace him with a back-up player. Hence my comment on 'equal quality'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Maybe they both had the same targets on their lists No that's definitely not possible. Nor is it remotely possible that Benitez simply thinks a player we've apparently scouted extensively could be a good signing. Exactly, not surprised control over transfers has been handed back to Carr after shockers like Selz, Hanley and the rest of that mob tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's a 'top team' in a league that has 10-25 point gaps at the top of it I've got a fucking bridge to sell you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfsburg are a big club in Germany, they may be lingering around the middle of the table - but that doesn't mean they cannot attract top talent (which was my point). Is a player more likely to move to Wolfsburg or Mainz? And Liverpool have finished 6th-8th in each of the last 7 seasons apart from 1 (where they should have won the league). But they are still a top club. Wolfsburg are 1 place below Liverpool on the UEFA rankings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
