Stadt Posted 30 June 2016 Share Posted 30 June 2016 In all fairness, do pl teams in general play the slow tempo football, played in these other leagues? No. Didn't say he won't score, his record doesn't stand up against English sides. Given facts to back this up. May be wrong. We'll see won't we. I've seen him play spurs home and away in the flesh, at supposedly the peak of his powers. Wasn't all that. 6 in 22 is a pretty poor record but thats against the better sides in the league. I don't know what "slow tempo leagues" has to do with it but surely a slow tempo is easier to defend against? Two games is the hardly the biggest sample size. Personally I don't think he'll be outstanding but he'll get between 15-20 which for a 35 year old in surely the last move in his career isn't bad at all.

Stadt Posted 30 June 2016 Share Posted 30 June 2016 He won't score 15 surely If he starts every game then you'd expect him to hit at least that. He scored 38 in 31 appearances last season, admittedly for a strong PSG team in a poor league but he'll be working under Mourinho alongside the likes Mkhitaryan and Martial (himself scoring 11 league goals whilst playing mostly out wide).

The Murkle Man Posted 1 July 2016 Share Posted 1 July 2016 Zlatan has played in mickey mouse leagues his whole career, except barca, where when you think about it, only 16 goals in a team with messi isn't brilliant. ****ing soldado managed to hit 20+ in la liga a few times, as did negredo. La liga is easy to score goals in really. Again, his record against English clubs ain't great. Just looked it up, 6 goals in 22 games. Hardly prolific. When he was playing in Italy I wouldn't say it was a mickey mouse league... It wasn't at it's best admittedly, but other than PSG he's played in pretty competitive leagues throughout his career.

ScouseFox Posted 1 July 2016 Share Posted 1 July 2016 I read Everton were in talks to sign Mata? yeah and james rodriguez. think it might all be shit though, they're basically loaded but still a bottom half club right now so not sure why anyone would join them just yet.

Super_horns Posted 1 July 2016 Share Posted 1 July 2016 Watford have turned down THIRTY EIGHT MILLION QUID from Shanghai SIPG for Odion Ighalo. Madness. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/jun/30/watford-turn-down-38m-odion-ighalo-shanghai-sipg?CMP=share_btn_tw Indeed - we must still really value him as a player despite the poor 2nd half of the season.

It's not when you consider that was effectively what made them competitive and that they'd possibly need to spend around £40 million of that to try and replace them both.

Guest CityFan 06 Posted 1 July 2016 Share Posted 1 July 2016 I agree with Palace trying to sign him. Benteke was quality for Villa, and if he regains his form (which I think he might) he's a very good addition for any club. Goalscorer proven at PL level. I'd like us to sign him. A good option if we contiune to try to find a striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
