What?! You can't be happy if those 3 turn out to be your strike force this season. Granted Suarez and Sturridge were the only 2 strikers last year however 4 is a must.

In the modern game 4 strikers is no longer a must your remembering the days when teams played 2 up top. Of the top 7 only utd and city really had 4 strikers last year one of those won the league and the other finished 7th so I'd imagine 4 strikers is no longer a must.

So the team with 4 strikers won the league? How about the past 10 years?

Man City only had 3 strikers.

Negrado, Aguero, Dzecko & Jovetic

But only sugar Daddy clubs have this many the way Pool play 3 is enough

I don't consider Jovetic a striker in the real sense of the word. Plus he has a career total of 69 goals in 211 games which would suggest he's not a frontline striker.

Soups123 · 23-07-2014 08:15PM

City would consider him a striker although he can play AMC or in the wing. Normal self ran clubs cannot afford 4 established strikers

Augmerson · 23-07-2014 08:17PM

I reckon we will sign one more striker and then BR will start concentrating on the D-FENS.

Three is ample if you intend to play one up front. Sturridge and Remy offer pace in behind which is essential in my opinion. Lambert offers something different.

I'd say Remy will see you done striker wise

Yep. Remy was a very astute purchase and at a good price.

Lambert will be the plan B

Liverpool scored 53 goals last season of which suarez didnt either score or assist.
He was a huge player for us but Tottenham scored 55 goals all season and still came 6th in the league. We have plenty of goals throughout the side. The priority for us should be to tighten up our defence.

I think some people also assume we can just write off every goal Suarez had a hand in as a goal we won't get an equivalent of next season. Certainly some of his goals are down to his own unique hunger and will to win but many of them are also down to the efforts of the wider team and I'd expect any decent striker to get them. It would be interesting to find out how many 'critical' goals Suarez hit or assisted and also how many of those were down to individual brilliance rather than the role he was playing.

Reus is nearly done and Vidal in the pipeline.

Copying the boys from the united thread now ay?
Judging from the amount that thanked it there seems to be plenty in this thread crying out for an original joke

Whole soccer forum has gone to shit in recent months. It was never perfect, but at least it was fun to post. Too much hate, politics and vendettas have come into it.

Excuse the cringeworthy video.

Was there that night too, in body but not in mind :pac:

I think Suarez left the door off the latch on the way out. Its the only explanation, too much of a coincidence!

Was the Temple the place in North Dublin? My sister's boyfriend at the time worked on the door and once we went to it. Fairly mind blowing experience at 17. I saw things I perhaps should not have seen at that age.

North side of the City. Fairly crazy place alright, I went there every Saturday night for about 2 years back in the hedonistic days.

Started off in the mid 90s in the Asylum, then the Ormond for a couple of years, then the temple, which was the last great clubnight imo. Some nights back then. lots of water drank

Start at the Big Tree then onto the Peacock and finish in the Asylum.

This thread really does go way off topic.

I just missed out on The Ormond days, I tried one night, unsuccessfully, with the baby face on me

Ended up sitting in the cousins car for the night waiting on them to come out. Still can't believe we got home in one piece, the absolute state of us all.

My first post in the Liverpool thread and it's about nothing to do with Liverpool!

Used to always go there aswell, nearly every Friday and Saturday for a few years!

Ah, the memories...kinda...:pac::pac::pac:

There was the Ormond Centre and the Hotel. I preferred the hotel as it was a sweatbox, how I liked it

I was lucky that my uncle was one of the main doormen in town so I was grand getting in most places, sure I was 15 when i was first in the Asylum.

Id still listen to some of the music they played every now and again and it holds up. To be young, free and single again.
