Hughes: Cruz is better than Torres

[CJ]

Voronin is clearly the best pound for pound player in the league.
Costs nothing scores 4 goals.
Torres cost 25m-ish (?) and scores 21 league goals.

So with simple maths Torres cost 1.19m per goal.
The Crow cost nothing per goal. Thats value for money

add in wages

but yes any free signing who scores a goal is good value

I was kinda talking tongue in cheek. Even if Cruz cost the price of a mars bar and Torres cost 50m, I'd still take Torres.

[CJ]

best value and best striker are different things

also the big clubs are not looking at value as such but as who can make them better.

[Angry Dan]

This value argument is impossible to gague. If we has bought Santa Cruz and he had scored 18 goals would we still be in position to clinch 4th spot and in the semi finals of the Champs League?

I would go so far as to say I doubt it which would of cost the club £20 milion minimum

What if we'd spent the 3 odd million on Santa Cruz instead getting Voronin on a free?

We may be in the hunt for the title.

Yea but we only play with one striker.

[saveferris]

Well we didnt earlier in the season and regardless he could have done better than some of the other options we have had up front.

We only have one striker.




P.S.That can play with torres.Crouch can do the job when Torres needs rested but can`t play along side Torres.
