I know. Depressing isn't it? Apart from Torres, we haven't currently really got a top notch striker that can be relied on to score in virtually every game.
yeah but the whole point is that he won't stay fit! plus he provides nothing else to the team - so for 85 minutes of the match you are carrying a passenger ...... i personally am glad we never signed him
owen can score as many as he wants in pre-season and it makes no difference - i can remember voronin bagging a bunch then when it came to the proper test he was shown up badly - the pace is completely different for one thing ....... the work rate needed ....... the demands are completely different - pre season matches are nothing more than testimonial games
The only thing I can see is that Rafa had/has someone else lined up as he was saying he wouldn't make the team. Currently he would be starting in our team.
