20m fee agreed but no obligation to buy was my understanding. Hence why Chelsea also extended his contract. Shame that he hasn't yet seemed to kick on from his last successful spell. Touting a 20m fee is worrying considering the mess we got into with the Sorloth loan/fee deal. Wonder who is negotiating these deals? Why not do a deal based on goals scored ? i.e we'd get him on a free!

Whilst I agree about finding a youngster, at the moment we need a stop gap that can score goals and I reckon Giroud would do that. I would like Chris Wood, Tammy Abraham or Odsonne Edouard, but jan would be way too expensive for one of those. I would bring Giroud in short term and give him the game time he needs to prove himself for France. He will be desperate to deliver so I see that as a big plus in our favour of him joining us. Guys guys, Chris Wood is bang average. Must be aiming higher.

Hopefully Wickham gets back to fitness soon. Really think he could be the answer....strong, good in the air, great finisher and anticipation. Just needs to stay injury free (which, I know, is highly unlikely.

But spending more money does not guarantee you goals. It’s more about finding a CF that fits the pattern of play. Who would have known that Glenn Murray would go on to be one of our best ever and continue knocking them in after leaving us and yet he was never expensive. We need to find our new Glenn Murray. It’s not Sorloth, Bamford, Benteke or Batshuyai, so who is it is the first question and is the price right the next question.

If he gets fit it will be a miracle of modern science and the coach who does it will deserve the Nobel prize for medical achievement!!

As someone has already said elsewhere , I would send him back in January and try and get Giroud. Bats simply does not suit the way we play. No chance of Giroud coming here. Scored 4 in a Champs league match the other day. Chelski will keep him and have Bats off the wage bill for a season. Let's hope he can get going soon.

But what is our system? And which type of striker would suit it? I'm surprised Hodgson even starts Batshuayi, who seems a rather lazy player, the opposite of Ayew, who at least does work hard off the ball. Some games our attempts on goal statistics are appalling, what type of striker is going to improve them? Think our midfield as well as attack can be blamed for this. It is particularly noteworthy early in games. Last one we had 0 shots for the first 25 mins or so. Suspect tomorrow will be similar, where we concede ground to a weaker team in the PL than others, allowing them to settle and force the pace. Edited by Booted Eagle (05 Dec 2020 8.01pm)

Success will lie to you but failure always tells you the truth. |
