Well Sturridge and Suarez couldn't lead us to the Premier League title either could they?
No they couldn't because no matter how much we scored we bled goals on defense.
Pound for Pound and by default we have the best striker in the Premiership starting for us.
Everybody screaming we need to buy the proverbial "World Class" striker
Shrek & Van Pussie (are they world class?)
Drogba/Costa/Torres (world class?)
Giroud/Podolski/Sanchez (world class?)
Aguero/Dzeko/Jovetic ( world class) probably best 3 in league but world class?
Soldado/Adebayor/Kane (world class?)
Where exactly are these world class strikers that we have to face week in and week out....do we need another striker sure we do...would a Sturridge/Eto/Lambert be end of the world? probably not though I would rather have someone other than Eto.
People make it sound like week/week out we are squaring off against Bayren/PSG/Real/Barca and have to match up player for player with Messi/Neymar/Suarez...well we dont.
For the most part we need to beat a Giroud or a Drogba.
Tell you what I would take Sterling, Coutinho, Henderson, Can, Lallana, Markovic, Gerrard over some of the stiffs these other teams have, and to me that gives us the edge in most situations.
We need another striker but lets not sh*te our pants that the world is coming to an end because he is not "World Class"
