Atletico's Top Strikers

not sure what you mean.

To explain it to you is a waste of space.

Are you Giroud's agent? You defend him as if you have a vested interest in his public perception.

Torres came through their youth system. David Villa was finished as a top player by the time they signed him. Griezmann was a big gamble that paid off. We turned down the chance to sign him and I agreed at the time. Big mistake from us though. Forlan flopped in the PL. Costa only ever had one top season at Atletico, then he joined Chelsea and was good for 6 months if even that. Falcao was hardly a find, they spent €40M+ to bring him from Porto. Aguero is obviously the standout player but would never have got a work permit in England. The same issue has stopped us signing the likes of Messi, Yaya, Di Maria in the past.

Also we've had better strikers throughout the years, Henry, Bergkamp, Wright, Kanu, RvP. The sickening thing is we've gone from that to 4 years of Giroud and counting.

That's rubbish. Signing Alonso hinged on Liverpool signing Barry. That the deal fell through was not Wenger's fault.

No, THAT is absolute rubbish. We didn't meet Liverpool's valuation of the player which means they did not have the funds to sign Barry

Atletico would be potentially the 2nd biggest club I England because the only for sure superior club to them in this country is Manchester United. Then there's a handful of clubs around the same level of notoriety.

I think Rylan gets some unwarranted stick. He is a good PL centre forward, and when on form an exceĺlent one.

The problem with him appears to be consistency, and when he is bad, he can be really bad. So I agree with the sentiment he is not going to be a CF that will win you a title as the main man, but I think he is a good player to have in the 25.

Where the hell I defended OG? Spouting the same old rubbish over and over again doesnt make your point right.

Wasnt it yourself to say that Costa is world class when he joined Chelsea and they got the title and Wenger a mug to not have signed him? You're fickle as fack and but am I suprised? Not really...

No it wasn't me who said that. On a separate note, was it you who said that Wenger was a cuuuunt for not signing Fabregas and that you were done with him? Yet 2 years later you still dream of sucking him off in a 3some with Giroud 😂 😂 😂
