Still confused by this striker thing, we have 4 of the best already, it´s our strongest position. There´s not another club in the world with the depth of strikers we have, it´s just not the position we need to strengthen.
dzeko is bobbins. lost count of the amount of chances he misses. balotelli, turns up when he can be arsed. did he play today? can turn it on aka vs germany in the euros but can also just go missing. dont trust those two
Dzeko will always, always score goals for us for as long as we have him. He has great movement and positional sense and just a knack for knowing where to be. Granted his touch and control lets him down sometimes in the build up play, but fuck, he´s not bad for a guy whose basically our 4th choice striker. Sure Cavani is probably a better all round player, or at least looks it in Serie A, but my point is, is he really that much better to make it wothwhile spending a lot of time, effort and money in bringing him in? Also it seems that he plays a lot more like Tevez than Dzeko, for me it would reduce the variety we had in attack as well.
Chasing these star strikers in complicated deals just seems like a distraction from where we really need to improve. I mean today, when a pretty average Liverpool side pressed us hard and fast in midfield and defence, we couldn´t keep the ball. Swansea did the same under Rodgers when they beat us. It doesn´t give me much hope for if we face someone like Barca who are absolute masters at that.
