So Osvaldo or Pazzini? Who would you pick guys?

I see Osvaldo as better i.e. more complete striker at least he can create for himself, I see Pazzini more of a poacher kind of striker. Keep in mind Iam talking about this as fifth choice striker and comparing those two.
Pazzini.

He's better in the box than Osvaldo, and that is what this team needs, someone to finish off these chances. If Llorente was doing his job this year we wouldn't be having this discussion.

However, this question is akin to asking me if I prefer to be kicked in the balls, or punched in the balls.

Not convinced any centre-forward is likely to score many goals the way Juve are playing just now. The centre-forward should be scoring more than Llorente/Morata have, but I don't see anyone available that would score a lot.

Juve's play just isn't creating chances for the centre-forward in most games. There isn't space being created and there are few good crosses.

Better, right now, just to stick with Llorente who will occupy opposition defenders and let those around him keep getting the chances and scoring the goals.

Pazzini's excellent movement in the box may well get him a few goals, but is his lack of general contribution going to do more harm to the team's play in general than those few goals will justify?

Low activity in the winter market because we're monitoring the Falcao situation for the summer.

You heard it here first.

Morata in the last few games had toons of chances to score and always failed. Replace him with Higuain and you'll see how many he'd score.
Great strikers are those who scores with the little chances they are given. Look at Trezeguet. Touch 3-4 balls in the whole game and scoring 2.
That's it.

Btw Morata to me it looks more like a winger and a CF

None. It's one more guy to rarely play and collect wages and take opportunities away from Coman.

Lets say United had Falcao now
Would you trade Vidal for him?
If not... Would you trade Vidal for Falcao+Fellaini?
and If you answer no for this too... Would you trade Vidal for Falcao+Mata?

Having low standards is not an option I am bred to consider nor settle for.

Choosing between spare Italians is not something worth investing time or money.

Osvaldo > Pazzini As some have said Pazzini does nothing to improve this club. Osvaldo has played here, knows our guys, our systems, I would gladly take him on loan again.
Pazzini is a classy finisher and thats what we lack. did you watch Milan Lazio yesterday? did you see his goal that was disallowed? Llorente could never do that

Pazzini always has been a goalpoacher. I'd take him on a 6-month deal. Not any longer 'though, that spot is reserved for Zaza.
agree. 6 months loan wouldnt hurt us on some low wages (like Osvaldo last season for example). and Milan is getting Destro anyway so they might not need him. and agree, Zaza is getting back in the summer so no point in keeping anyone longer than 6 months.
