Another baros thread - Sell or keep
Posted: Tue Jun 29, 2004 4:17 pmIt's already been pointed out by many members of this forum that Owen and Baros will not be able to play alongside each other, as they both need a big man to play with (Cisse)..and we don't put 14m strikers on the bench!
Obviously it is nice to have the choice between two great strikers, but Baros has already voiced his concern about GH not playing him "I can't score goals from the bench" "I was thinking maybe I should leave this summer". Does anyone honestly think Owen, England's first choice centre forward (unless Rooney has taken that spot), a superstar of English football, will sit on the bench? No..
When one plays the other will loose confidence and look towards other clubs.
Needless to say, Owen is still rated highly by many and could still fetch a nice transfer fee. Baros could also mean major cash after his prolific performance at EU04 (on target for top scorer).
Can we sell the England legend? Fans won't be so happy. Baros will also be worth more directly after the Portugal tournament.
I think we should consider the sale of Baros. We need to strengthen other areas of our side (cash for centre-half, right winger and centre midfielder would be useful..lets not forget a new stadium either). Owen is certainly proven, Baros *might* have a great tournament and not be able to do the same at Liverpool.
Anyway, consider this..would you sell Baros? would you sell Owen? Or would you leave both players in the squad, one on the bench with their confidence diminishing and their desire to play at another club growing..
