This week's five-point stance sees former Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest striker Stan Collymore focus on topics related to former club Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City and his love for midweek football.
I know for a fact Liverpool were interested in Alexis Sanchez this summer, but instead they decided to spread their money over a number of other deals.
Alexis went to Arsenal, and the rest is history—he's scoring goals, playing at a high tempo and has taken to the Premier League like a duck to water.
Liverpool missed out on the closest thing they could have got to Luis Suarez. I honestly believe had they signed Alexis, they'd be challenging for the title, and the good times would still be rolling at Anfield.
Liverpool fans must be kicking themselves.Diego Costa was suspended on Tuesday night, so he missed out. Didier Drogba came in, and I watched a vintage performance at Stamford Bridge from the veteran striker.
People think Drogba is just doing one last lap of honour, but that's a joke. He's still 80 to 90 per cent of the player he was, and he's still a massive threat to the opposition.
For a guy who's getting older, he knocked down Spurs' door last night, and Loic Remy—who'd start in practically any other team—finished the job.
What an embarrassment of riches for Chelsea in the striker department.Juan Mata has cost Chelsea and Manchester United a combined £50 million-plus in transfer fees. He was player of the year twice at Chelsea, yet the doubts loom large.
Jose Mourinho didn't fancy him at Chelsea, while Louis van Gaal isn't convinced he's a long-term solution either—hence rumours of a possible move to Sevilla in January or the summer, as per the Mirror.
Mata's case speaks of the death of the luxury player. It's not just about showing skills going forward anymore. Unless you have energy going back and the ability to defend, you're going to get jettisoned very quickly.
To think Mata could end up at Sevilla.Manchester City's Sergio Aguero is without doubt the best striker in world football at the moment. Forget Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, they're attacking midfielders who score a load of goals.
If you're a youngster learning how to be a striker, Aguero is the man to watch.
His movement off the shoulder of a defender is brilliant. His instincts in front of goal are amazing. And his conversion rate is stunning.
Karim Benzema has been the best striker the last few years, but on current form Aguero beats himIt's time the Premier League looked at shifting some of their Sunday matches for midweek games.
I used to so look forward to midweek games. They're 10 times more exciting for players and fans than those mid-Sunday kick-offs where fans are half-asleep.
The floodlights are on, fans are in the mood and everybody gets to watch the games.
If we had more games midweek, I guarantee there would be more entertainment and more goals..
