The recent transfer links suggest a target man. He's certainly big enough to kick balls at.

In the right team and in the right league he'll score quite a lot as he gets his shots away and they're often on target. He's not good enough for the PL though as he has no ball control, can't head, can't pass and looks knackered five minutes after getting on the pitch . But other than that he’s brilliant

Imo its not so much a problem with Mateta (or Benteke or Edouard) but with putting a square peg in a round hole and expecting that it will work. The three I have mentioned are all tall and not quite so mobile. Edouard looked very nimble against spuds scoring twice but afterwards not much. Buy another AJ or Glenn Murray (some hopes) and we will be ok but . . .
Enjoying getting up later and not having someone who knows better than me (apart from the missus of course). |

Surely Dougie has someone decent lined up - or maybe he thinks Mateta and Edouard will come good, as with Sorloth, Bamford and quite a few others ....

I think if Mateta stays it will only be a result of our failure to bounce him. I still like him, or certainly don’t hate him, but his departure and a ‘better than Edouard’ arrival seems a logical proposition if we’re to improve.
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

There’s more chance of him going to Tooting & Mitcham for £12.50 We’d only receive that in instalments too. Just saw the Leipzig rumour before coming on here. I’d happily take the £12mil and it’d be a good move for him. Probably highly unlikely but one can dream.

When I see Mateta play I always think Edouard must surely be better. Then when I see Edouard play I think Mateta must be better. Then, occasionally, I see them both out on the pitch together and realise they are as bad as each other.
