Look I apologise but in similar circumstances they produced similar results.

Maybe Sturridge was a poor striker hence his Welbeck like scoring rate at Chelsea and suddenly became a good one when Liverpool bought him...

Or maybe playing a striker on the wing, even a good one like Sturridge gives them a poor goal return, like Welbeck...

I said exclude Welbecks break through years if we are going to exclude Sturridge's at City, or keep them both in, probably more accurate to do so really.

Again I apologise for these stats, I can't really change them though...

The stats clearly say that Sturridge scores more goals per minute than Welbeck and this has always been the case. You should not be allowed internet access.

The stats also say they both had crappy scoring rates when not playing in their favoured position, with Welbeck actually having a better one.

So clearly, on the assumption that Sturridge is a good striker we cannot assume a player isn't a good striker because of their scoring rate when not favoured and playing out on the wing.



Or you know, maybe Sturridge was a poor striker and magically overnight became a good one?

It was clearly nothing to do with playing upfront

No the stats say that Sturridge scores a lot of goals per minute. I genuinely don't understand why you don't get this.

Goals. Per. Minute.

You're just being weird now tbh.

Okay lets make this simple.

Do you think Welbecks goal return at United means he is a poor striker?

Because all I am arguing is like with Sturridge at Chelsea you cannot really use their poor goal tallies as a judge. Clearly Sturridge isn't a poor striker despite his Welbeck like return at Chelsea.

A lot of strikers would struggle for goals out on the wing as Welbeck and Sturridge have.

Robbing as I said get me somewhere where I don't have to add up the minutes from every PL game and I will give you the stats.

Get. Me. The. Stats.

The stats are that Studge scores about 0.7 goals per 90 minutes whether wide or central.

He scored lots of goals per 90 minutes wide. He scored lots of goals per 90 minutes central. It really is that simple.

Sturridge did not struggle for goals wide but rather he was brought on as sub over 50 times and still scored.

I asked for league stats at Chelsea......

Because he struggled with a Welbeck like scoring rate there, despite not being a poor striker. Hence Welbeck cannot be declared a poor striker, despite his Sturridge (at Chelsea) like scoring rate at United.

They both struggled when playing as a winger...

Okay then Welbeck didn't struggle for goals when playing wide either, was brought on a sub or taken off plenty of time and still scored, at a similar rate to Sturridge.

I do have those stats but just to be clear....


.... you're dogmatically debating a point which you admit you have not any knowledge of so have to ask me for the information for you to continue conversing with me? That's what you're doing?

I don't know the exact number of league minutes Sturridge played at Chelsea or Welbeck played at United....

You can get close with things like their appearances and sub appearances though. Any reason why you wouldn't want to write those stats down or link to them?

I was going off appearances you are the one who kept demanding goals per minute.

Okay lets make this simple.

Do you think Welbecks goal return at United means he is a poor striker?

I'd say the fact he's shît at football means he's a poor striker... That trumps any stat

I don't know that t1's opinion really trumps stats when it comes to people's opinion on footballers... can't remember many conversations where people have said they'll check out what you said on the matter before they form their own opinion...

It is nice you think so highly of yourself though

I got to say every time I read the article title it sounds a lot like a threat, be thankful gooners because you could have ended up getting Borini for £14M instead
