Our chances of qualification drops from 55 % to 30 % without him as he is our most
guaranteed goal scorer.
Both were
guaranteed goal scorers at this level.
Not exact matches
@Godswill You are right, there are not world class
goal scorers in the market that will be
guaranteed success..
Maybe we won't be able to find that mythical
guaranteed 25 +
goal scorer to upgrade at striker, but we'd be stingier giving up
goals that we'd end win more games if our current
goal production remains the same.
Having the top
goal scorer does not always
guarantee the title.
As we saw last season consistency in terms of
goal scoring is not always
guaranteed, especially if you're not a natural
goal scorer, so this over reliance that someone will come good, when Giroud eventually loses form, needs to stop.
The truth is there are no world class
goal scorers in the market that will be
guaranteed success..
If you look at the whole
goal -
scorer thing from high up there are only 2 guys who get close to a god - like «
guaranteed goals» status; Ronaldo and Messi and even they have the benefit of world class team mates, 30 odd «easy» matches a season where they can fill their boots, operating from a stable system for a long period of time now etc..
I do nt think Barkley is 3 times the player, I
guarantee if we swapped wilshere for Barkley, Everton would have a top
goal scorer and we would ruin another players career.
However, there is no
guarantee Dortmund are willing to let their top
scorer from last season leave and it would likely take a sizeable bid to convince the Bundesliga champions to allow a player that scored 30
goals in all competitions last season leave.
It may be a bit of a next - gen open
goal, but it's pretty much
guaranteed to be a top
scorer.
