Apparently Batshuayi is looking for a loan move in Jan to secure his WC place. Any ideas who you’d want to bring in to replace him? Ideally I’d want us to get Dybala but that’s incredibly unlikely. Or I’d push for Icardi despite his issues. Otherwise I struggle to think of many which would be the required quality. Maybe Celtics Dembele could step up but is a risk.

Icardi would be the dream, or perhaps we could lure away Lewandowski?
30 Dec 2017 20:30:12
Lewandowski is a decent shout but probs hellishly expensive given his age.

We need a premiership ready striker who scores goals. They are few and far between but I would not take a chance on Dembele, could be another Bats. Trouble is these people need game time to establish themselves and we need someone to hit the ground running.
I don’t like him as a person but we could do worse than Giroud. He may as well be our back and win trophies than at Arsenal.

Icardi is a player who could play alone or with morata, Timo Werner is good player, remember all the fuss about belotti? Seems to be struggling badly since his injury, dzeko is good option maybe?

My choice would be Vardy.

Rj28p i have the same feelings would take vardy in the heartbeat.
30 Dec 2017 23:39:28
Yep, Vardy for me too. Not being cup tied in Europe is a big plus.

Certainly would not take Giroud as he is painfully slow and we have Morata and Co for the crosses. To hit the ground running with some miles left on their legs, Vardy every time. Quick, reads the through pass very well and knows where the goal is wherever he is standing.

Batsy is a goalscorer and would of taken both the Morata chances yesterday. He will be another player who leaves and stars for another club. Think Salah etc. I wish Conte would give him a chance.

G8: We will always disagree on this one. Bats scores goals but is not an out and out goalscorer and is the same age as Kane. Both have served their time and what a difference. Kane is not brilliant but is very good at everything, left and right foot, head, positioning and passing, Bats is none of those and if we could recover our outlay I would be more than happy. Clearly Conte doesn't see anything in him. Happy New Year and here's to locking horns again in 2018.

He needs game time a loan would be perfect with him, if he plays every game he will score goals. De bruyne wasn't ready for our team and we gave up on him to early. We just need to find a replacement for him who is willing to sit on the bench because it will be impossible to sign some of the players been mentioned in January.
