He was sensational in 13/14. There were others playing well in that team, but Suarez/Sturridge can rival the best of our front pairings. Not all of that was down to Luis Suarez. I’m hoping he still has a lot to offer. Hopefully for us.
Mignolet is also a very good shot stopper. Was hoping Karius would be a bit different, more confident and commanding in the box. There's little evidence of this so far.
My "parallel universe" is pretty similar to yours, I think. Except I dont really remember the asking/selling prize, but Arsenal wanted him on the cheap.
