It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

If we don't get Kane I'd honestly give Torres a run. Just Chuck him in at the deep end and see how he does

Personally i think this could be his season.

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

Shows what bollocks stats are then! Shearer was a better striker than any of them, probably better than any striker around to this day.

The point was someone said Jesus isn’t a striker, when he clearly is

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

Step away from the stats and use your eyes.

Objective data points versus subjective bias. Nah I’m good cheers

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Sign a fkin striker will you!

 

[Damanino]

Put any forward in middle of our front three who HAS the killer instinct front of the goal and he will score plenty.
Sterling, Jesus does not have it tho, I dont prefer them ending up on the end of most of the attacks.

Pep in his whole career had the likes of Villa, Eto,Messi, Ibra, Lewandowski, Muller type of guys who all had above average killer instinct front of goal. Time to sign one for him at City given Aguero effectively was finished for City in 2020 summer.

 

[Fordyboy46]

Just can't see any of our false nine strikers scoring goals on a consistent basis, Sterling or Torres no way. That means our attacking mids will have to try and do it all again. A striker has to arrive this window

Yep, ignore the facts and get stuck into the personal & subjective - it’s winner every time ;-)

 

[Stelea]

Jesus needs to lead our line until we eventually sign somebody. He knows what to do as it’s his natural position and works his arse off taking a lot of stick off centre halves along the way.
This is the total opposite to the Torres argument.

 

[BamberBridgeBlue]

Whilst I do like Jesus as a player, at this stage of his career after us losing Aguero, if he’s not ready to lead the line then when?

You can’t possibly think that Jesus or Diego Costa are better strikers than Alan Shearer was?

The guy quoted stats, if you have a problem with his stats then point out where they’re wrong . . but please don’t say ignore the stats and go off the subjective because that’s saying ignore the facts and go off the guesswork.

If he says Jesus’s stats are better than Shearer‘s then publish your correction or agree with him - but don’t go canvassing for another persons guesswork to back up your guesswork when you’re attempting to counter a matter presented as fact that you can’t be arsed to challenge.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Gabby's goal-per-minute ratio in the Premier League is right between Edin Džeko's and Diego Costa's. Better than Alan Shearer's.

Shearer was a far better striker than Jesus will ever be.
That stat is something akin to saying Carson has a 100% penalty save record and Rodri has scored 100% for us.

The stat is just a data point. No one ever said Jesus was better than Shearer. Why would they? That would be really weird

It’s not fucking guesswork that Shearer was a better striker than Jesus!

One specific set of stats doesn’t tell the whole story does it. How about the stat that Shearer is the league‘s all time record goal scorer? Or you could just watch goals highlights, but basically it’s common fucking knowledge and obvious.

There are lies, damn lies and statistics. Sometimes just use your fucking eyes and common sense.

Statistics are not facts. That is one of the first things you learn on a statistics course

Costa was a bigger cnut than Shearer and that's some achievement ;)

 

[Keeper!]

Sterling won’t go to a tinpot club who win fcuk all

But where would he go and more importantly who would want him?

Big wages, big fee and hugely risky.

73.2% of people taking the course make this claim too.

He is going nowhere we have him for two years then he will make his choice just because can’t see him signing a new contract..

If he won't resign, why would we let him leave for free?
