Hajj Al Sayid Nicolas Anelka - Shangai Shenhua (19 Viewers)

[Fint]

The poor man's Drogba, interesting choice, i thought it was just press BS.
O well, he is better than nothing (Bendter/Borriello) but we could have kept DP instead...

How is he a poor man's Drogba? Those are two totally different players

Just as Anella is being compared to Del Piero. This forum doesnt differentiate between types of players when comparing.

If a player is black, he can automatically be compared to another black player #CronLogic

He was better than both Matri and Quag a long long time ago.

I was never a fan of his, though.

Fixed

Fixed

Even now when he's old and off-form he can do more on the pitch.

loool no disrespect intended i was just trying to understand the logic behind it..

im pretty sure that some of you guys will eat your words just give the guy a chance

It's not about comparing their style, they just happen to play the same position so preferring one to play for us over the other makes sense.

 

[Hængebøffer]

Fuck the pointless transfer of Aelka and fuck the people going full retard.

Edit: Fuck Cheese that little whiny bitch.

Nzoric being an ass

A weak heavy ass too. Not any ass.

 

[Cheesio]

I hope the fans boo the shit out of him if he shows up tonight.

I was and once upon a time this mercenary was far better than Matri and Quaq, esp the moment we got them, but i am not sure of his form atm.
If he is better than Quaq now, that would be a good transfer, but none of them were never consistent...

How is he a poor man's Drogba? Those are two totally different players

Being CFs and all, both of them were options for the same spot, what we lack the most, the vacant finisher spot.
Both of them are has beens, both of them can be acquired as free agents, both of them would be just quick fixes and not long term investments.
But i guess being new to the forums, you must be clueless about the things we were discussing/considering, welcome to the forums btw (if you are not a double account)

Anelka is brought in as a striker to lead the line, the guy who will play in front of Vucinic / Gio. Del Piero can do many things, but he can't play the leading striker. It's a waste of all his qualities to put him up there.

You started the grammar show man, don't back pedal now and reply indirectly to me through quotations of b81.

We heard that with Bednter and Borriello before him. We have yet to eat our words. Perhaps, you need to wake up and smell the coffee and realize that St. Nicholas is a has been.

I see a great future for him

Totally agree!

Seriously what does everyone expect? Especially during this January transfer window. We've captured Llorente for next season which I'm happy about. And short term needed a goal scorer. LL would have been ideal but I'm glad marotta hasn't paid €11m, with that can look elsewhere come summer. Shame could'nt get him on loan. Not exactly jumping for joy over this move but he's better than Bendtner but then again who isn't? I couldn't care less if the player to get us goals is the most hated person on earth.its a short term solution to hopefully get goals. That's the main issue here cos if our forwards wasn't so incompetent this season then we wouldn't be in this mess in the first place.

Capitalize my name please Total disrespect

 

[ZoSo]

If we are heading down this route, I would say give Zalyeta a call and see if he is available.

34 yr old Zalayeta >>>> 33 yr old Anelka

Obviously, Lisandro would've been the better option seeing that he would be younger and hungrier, but I don't know, I'm not devastated that Anelka is coming like most of you here. His overall technique (First touch, finishing, ball control..) is way better than Matri and Quagliarella. It would be a bonus if he still has some of his athleticism.

Of course Del Piero and Trezeguet staying would've been better options than Toni/Bendtner/Anelka, but whats done is done and that should be the whole management's fault. However, Marotta is doing a very good job till now. Anelka is a huge risk, given his attitude, but it's for six months and I choose to be optimistic about it.

 

[Toro_Merda]

If this guy is brought for a poacher(what we really miss), than I'm truly amazed by the incompetence of our SD

And he is dirt cheap wage wise. We can't really lose on this transfer (unless he does something to actively hurt the team, but I doubt he can do that in 6 months )

You obviously failed grammar class
