Imagine Cisse in his 6-month prime, or Demba Ba in this team. Even Obafemi Martins would kill it for Rafa up front.

The current jaded, rich China versions of Ba, Cisse, and Oba are comfortably better than any striker on the books, especially as Rafa seemingly does not trust Gayle or Mitrovic to be on the pitch for any extended period of time.

We're not doing too badly with Joselu in the side, are we? He's not a strong finisher, but a big part of the lone striker's role is to link up play, keep possession, draw fouls etc. In those areas, he's better than Mitro, Martins or Cisse.

Inclined to agree here. Whereas it's clear he's hardly a prolific goal scorer I found a few of the calls to total sport amusing with the usual calls for Mitrovic and playing two up front. People seem to forget that Mitrovic has done nothing to prove himself really and there's always the risk of a red card. They also forget that decisions are made based on what's seen in training, none of which we see (effort etc). Might be an argument for changing things slightly and playing Gayle up top but whoever it is we're always going to be short until some genuine quality is brought in.

Hate these 'would rather have Shola' posts. He was a different level of shite and throughout his career.

 

:thup:

How dare you bring the Ameobi's into disrepute. Find a dark corner and have a word with ones self.

We got other players to score in our last few matches that bails him out.  He is fucking lucky.  Once those goals dried up he would be under immense pressure and we probably would lose a lot of points due to him.
