Jamie Redknapp terms Javier Hernandez as a quicker version of Robbie Fowler
Former Liverpool midfielder, Jamie Redknapp has compared Manchester United striker, Javier Hernandez to his former Liverpool teammate Robbie Fowler.
Hernandez, who joined United before the start of the 2010/11 season, has surprised everyone with his impressive debut season. United had to pay approximately 7 million pounds to acquire his services and everyone believes that the deal was a great bargain.
Hernandez has scored 18 goals in 37 appearances in his debut season with the club. The Mexican was initially compared to United legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, with his knack of scoring important goals coming off the bench. Hernandez has scored some really
important goals for United and has changed the results of the match in their favour on many occasions. However, the Mexican has also proved to be a deadly goal-scorer whenever his manager has started the game with him.
Jamie Redknapp believes that Hernandez is a quicker version of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 legend, Robbie Fowler, who scored 183 goals in his Reds career.
Redknapp told the Reporters, “He scores goals and bosses will pay top whack for players who do that. Sir Alex didn't have to. Hernandez isn't a kid, either. Yes, he's 22, but he's a tried and tested striker with international pedigree. He played at the World
Cup where he featured in every game for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mexico-c2956 and scored twice - against France and Argentina.”
“Signing him was not much of a gamble. He looks like the sort of player who will go on to be a success for many seasons at Old Trafford because he has a love of the game. People talk about second season syndrome, but his movement has convinced me of his
quality. He reminds me of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robbie-Fowler-c31214 but quicker.”
The 37-year-old added that Hernandez plays on shoulder of last defender of the opponent and his pace makes it very difficult to catch him. He added that the Mexican is a complete striker and is a fantastic header of the ball despite his short height.
