AC can't have much to shout about either. Got his chance against a Championship side and looked just as poor for the most part.

I don't see what he offers that would drastically change our midfield. He would just be another needless stumbling block for youth coming through.

Nope. He needs to do his talking on the pitch

AC and Cahill wonder why they can't get games

Hope CHO gets his chance tonight

To think the scoreline flatters Burnley. It was almost the perfect away performance

Just about to say the need for a second goal is imperative with Morata's wasteful finishing. Up steps Barkley to deliver again!

Yes

Helps with our HG quota as well

Let's see what he has to say if Conte is appointed.

I seriously hope either Zappacosta or Emerson get a start at the weekend along with RLC. We can't keep fielding two fullbacks that are ineffective going forward against lesser opposition.

Zappacosta is having a field day

We are effectively playing our strongest available front three. That shouldn't be the case in the EL group stages

Another strong line up for no real reason. Hope a front three of Giroud, Pedro & Willian can get the job done within 45 mins. CHO might get some game time that way

It's inevitable with a few players in our squad. A few goals/assists can only mask obvious flaws for so long.

Spurs have played Utd and Liverpool

I think the ship has sailed on Griezmann for a number of reasons. There's also talk of Costa playing hardball, so I could see him moving to staying put or Real/Utd throwing stupid money in his direction. It's shame we are having to discuss a position that hadn't been an issue for years (Conte can be thanked for that).

Immobile's failure to cut it at Dortmund damages his reputation and Kane is off to Madrid at some point.

I've been calling for Icardi for sometime, as he the only WC finisher that isn't at a club at the top level. However, the baggage he brings might not be ideal aka - Barbara. Not sure he would be able to deal with the physical aspect of leading the line. Leipzig would be after a lump-sum too.

A true striker isn't needed in Sarri's system as was evident at Napoli. I'm not going to jump on the Jovic bandwagon after one exception game against relegation candidates. Plea is the only one you mentioned could do a job, but he isn't someone that could lead a line Imo.

There are a number of supposed lesser targets that would be available and could interchange if needed. N.Pepe should be at the top of our list and someone like Haller could do a job. We need players that are ready now but also have room for improvement at the highest level, instead of more stopgaps.

Just a way for people to excuse him during the difficult times. That ship sailed a long time ago

He's been here for almost a 1 yr and half & has done nothing to address that. No intention of bettering himself, so give him the easy life back in Spain.

We need obtainable options for Jan at this point, as Top 4 might even be in jeopardy with our failure to kill off games.

It's called common sense; most of our board lack it
