Why doesn't he have as many shots as Suarez?

Oh my.

 

[Robbo92]

Hernandez can't create his own shots. He's a good finisher, but if he was more than that he would be getting more minutes. You can't just say imagine if he had as many shots as Suarez, because you'd be imagining a completely different player. One that got more minutes, hence being better than he is now. I know that point was made to illustrate how clinical he is, but still, they are completely different players that can't be compared purely on shot count.

The reason he doesn't get as many shots as Suarez is because he's not as good as Suarez.

It's not a pissing contest.

I only comparison I made was number of shots, I think Suarez has had the most shots in the league so I was comparing him to the number one shots at goal player.

I never said anything about playing styles.

Imagine how many goals he would score if he had as many shots as Suarez.

He never would because Suarez creates chances out of nothing. Hernandez is relying on the sheer amount of possession and the sheer amount if balls United get in the box which are far more then most EPL teams. Most of the goals Hernandez scores would be scored by any average striker. He's good at getting amongst it in the box and that's about it. If he was at Liverpool he'd struggle big time with our wide and attacking mids.

He actually reminds me of a younger Owen, not as good but knows where to be.

I understand what you're saying, but the fact is, Hernandez as we know him won't ever be able to take that many shots.

Not denying this but he still has a pretty good goal scoring record.

 

[BluesMan]

I don't think Nani would want to go to Zenit, unless he likes getting racially abused then by all means go for the money.

Nice of you to provide Malaga's replacement for when Isco comes to City.

Cheers.

Apparently part of the Piazon deal was Chelsea getting first refusal on Isco in the summer

 

[Magma]

with a low(ish) release clause i doubt that it would matter that much. another team hits that release clause, your first refusal means squat.

i remember us getting first refusal on a bright young starlet when robinho went on loan to santos. was it neymar? noooo. ganso. that didn't quite turn out for the best.

With us having first option to buy, if we hit hit the figure it doesn't really matter what anyone else does if he wants to come to the Bridge(which he apparently does).

I guess we'll see in the summer, hey.

Isco has a release clause (as do all Spanish players). If we meet the clause Malaga don't have a say where he goes.

As I said 'if he wants to come to the bridge' it doesn't matter who else wants him

Chicharito Hernandez reminds me of a young Defoe. More composed, albeit, but with a lower work ethic.

Chicharito has an extremely high work ethic. Not sure about Defoe's but few would work harder than him

Defoe never stops running. Reckon Chicharito will do well to have Defoe's career - he's been underrated since we signed Berbatov and is only starting to get his plaudits back now.

Apparently West Brom want Coates on loan until the end of the season, wouldn't surprise me given the connection with Steve Clarke. I'm assuming though that nothing will happen unless we bring in another CB this window as with Kelly out injured we can't afford to just have a 34 year old Carragher as our only back up CB.

Well there is young Andre as well, but i'm not sure about the Wisdom in that move

I rate Coates, should be given more opportunities.

We need a big bully in the midf to help the rest of the team.
If we cant get snijder maybe lance armstrong?

Perhaps he could "forget" about turning up to drug tests like Rio......

 

[jod23]

I saw Ellen make a joke on Lance.

She said Lance Armstrong should change his name from Lance Armstrong to Lance RegularArms. I lol'd.

 

[Cooldude]

Just send Coates to there already if we aren't prepared to play him

 

[Cruyff14]

Valdes has said he won't be renewing his contract at Barca.

 

[Magma]

walcott signs a 3 and a half year deal
