Bony wins across the board.

As I've been saying all along, Bony is the greatest footballer in the world.

Christ, not sure about that at all.

Bony does the goals. I've see him do them. Football goals.

After initially being against it I'm starting to warm to Bony!

Um....

I was also referring to you thinking it is better than what Chelsea and Arsenal have to offer

2 years I'd have taken Hernandez anyday. Borini did grand last season, unless Wellbeck raises his game there isn't that much between him and Borini for me.

You could say you have a semi?

I know we are only into the transfer window but its all a bit depressing so far. Champions league is the holy grail and I think at least a few of us believed that we would attract that world class quality.

If you were to look at our signings so far and someone was to say - "yea its a pity ye finished 5th" you would think, sure we can't attract that top level quality.

Can, Lallana, Lambert, Markovich, Origi all signed or look to have signed.

Arsenal are about to sign Sanchez and strong rumours of them going for Khedira.

I dunno just feel a bit sad about it all. Going to have a little cry.

brevity

If we are interested in Bony why didn't we buy him when he was going for 12-15m? We spent that much on Borini.

I am pie

I wont be sticking my candle in anyone's donut if we sign Bony, but would rather have him than Origi. Would rather the Origi money went elsewhere. The kid had a pretty average world cup. I think we're wasting Aspas-Alberto type money there.

Whatever Chelsea's attacking options are now, they wont be the same come August 1st. Also, Schurrle could be considered a forward at Chelsea, plays in a front 3 for them.

Would confidently and comfortably say that as of today we have better attacking options than Arsenal, but I suspect this summers business will change that. Sanchez trumps us there I feel.

Uggghhhhhhh!

Dont be at yourself

Guys, we got this:

Thud

Where's the corners stats for Aspas, those are his main strength??

billy2012

Don't really understand how people don't see Bony fitting in at Liverpool?? Him and Sturridge don't have to play together (But they obviously could)!!, we have lots of games next season and unfortunately Sturridges injury record ain't great!! Guessing Lambert will be mostly used as a sub in the league and playing mainly in the cups. (Borini too)

We need another striker capable of scoring 20+ goals and Bony is the man!! Glad to see us actually being linked with him.

If Aspas goes to Sevilla he's sure to say

I really don't want bony here.For cover for Sturridge and Suarez maybe but the thoughts of having Lambert and bony leading the line if sturridge is injured is just not worth thinking about.goodbye top 4 if he's our striker replacement for Suarez .

He has good stats for Swansea no doubt but i don't he'd suit our fast passing, high pressing game.his link up play is clumsy at the best of times and I definitely think a WF type player like Sanchez or a griezman type player that can create and score with pace is vital.
With Lambert already in the team we don't need bony as well.

Losing Suarez is still not sitting right with me but with cesc at Chelsea and Sanchez at arsenal signing bony would be incredibly wasteful and underwhelming

Ba and Torres? Thought that was a no brainer tbh. Torres is as good as a Championship player at this stage and Ba's been shíte since he left Newcastle, if he could recapture his old form I wouldn't be saying this.

Lambert is better than Podolski imo, as good as Giroud. In fairness Walcott is better than all of them besides Sturridge.

I wouldn't swap the lot we have for any of the other four's strikers besides City.

Ba, Torres, Podolski & Giroud are all better than Borini. Sturridge on form sits with Giroud. Theo v Sturridge cant compare as different positions.

Lambert would be better than Ba in that list and that is all

Ah here your way off with that. Sturridge on form is another level.

On Borini and Lambert though - wouldnt set the world alight.

Listen I don't expect you to agree with me. Giroud is the better player alround, Sturridge has been a journey man who has finally found form. I like the guy but he is not as good a footballer as Giroud.

Time will tell........

Bony would score more than Griezman would. Creativity needs to be replaced but goals need to be replaced also.

Think about it, if Suarez goes to Barcelona and Sanchez goes to Arsenal that's a 60-goal swing in Arsenal's favour over us next season....

Journeyman? Giroud has played at more clubs than Sturridge. 31 goals in 43 games for Liverpool compared to 27 goals in 70. Even with the highly debatable claim that Giroud is a better all round player, I know who I'd rather have in my side.

I don't think you've done your homework on this one, Soups.

Would definitely consider Sturridge to be much better with the ball at his feet, and is a lot more comfortable when drifting wide or dropping deep.

Giroud is better as a target man, and laying off for onrushing midfielders, but that's about it imo.

This must be one of most ridiculous posts I've read since I joined these boards. Time has told already and will continue to tell that sturridge is far far better. Haha what a post

Soups sounds like you have had too many scoops!!
That statement is malogen
Giroud average at best.

the incredible pudding

Giroud is better with his back to the goal than Sturridge is (though in some games his control fails him), beyond that I don't really see anything else that he does better. He's probably better in the air but the accuracy of his heading is worse than Sturridge's.

We sold Andy too soon.

Soups123

to many replys and gifs so I won't multi quote.

Sturridge is a good player but Giroud is a level above, his goal count has been high due to how Liverpool have played and the volume they have scored but his miss rate is also high.

He out does Giroud on goals scored in the last year but that is it, lets see who has the better season this year.

Its only my opinion

Fescue

Daniel Sturridge. 43 appearances for Liverpool. 31 goals.

QED

passremarkable

Id love to ask a few PL defenders who they would rather play against .
Is be confident most would rather play against Giroud. Just my IMO of course
Most defenders hate marking pace

That 's some run of form that Sturridge is on. Knocking on 2 years now.

That's fair enough really. Think this needs a bet though, maybe most goals + assists in PL next season?

I can see it being closer than last year to be honest

I would have sturridge all day long

the incredible pudding

Do people keep forgetting that even before Sturridge went to Liverpool, his goals per minute ratio was still very, very good? It's around .7 goals for every 90 minutes, that includes his spells at Chelsea, City and loan spell at Bolton. He's been a very good striker for a long, long time.

Utopia Parkway

One thing that Giroud definitely does better than Sturridge is being the "wall" in a wall pass. He's very good at that.

Hair is also magnificent.
