I was only listing the Bundesliga remotely possible (and ones with potential) candidates. Everyone here knows I really only want Dybala or Icardi (game winner again tonight in 92nd minute of Milan derby). Piątek, IF he keeps up wonder-form would be third choice, but still a huge gamble, and IF he scores 30 plus goals, his price in summer will be insane. Jovic would be a great buy now, as he does have the pitential and he wouldn't cost crazy money at all. At some point a team (if we refuse to drop truly WC striker money) has to roll the dice on buying very young players would do exhibit WC potential. Only other option is to buy ageing stopgap players. Well, 3rd option is to roll with Morata and Giroud and very likely get pipped out of the top 4 and certainly not win the EL. Bye bye Hazard for sure then.

He also simply isnt good enough. He is weak willed. He is not good enough to be our main striker. He lacks great footballing IQ. It happens. He needs to be shipped off and replaced. Keeping him as our main striker will destroy our season. Blame the board, not me. I NEVER wanted him in the first place. He was never a true starter anywhere.

Nicolas Pépé is a RW, not a true striker at all. In terms of 25yo and younger Bundesliga strikers, I would rate (not counting Lewa and Werner as they are insanely expensive, and Lewa is 30yo) no real order Luka Jovic also of Eintracht Frankfurt <<<<< superb young CF potentially Lucas Alario of Bayer Leverkusen <<<probably the most 'ready' Alassane Plea of Borussia Mönchengladbach Jean-Kévin Augustin of RB Leipzig Maximilian Philipp of Dortmund and maybe, maybe Davie Selke of Hertha above Sébastien Haller atm Matheus Cunha, 19yo on RB Leipzig is also one to watch MD8's Man of the Matchday: Luka Jovic pulls ahead of Robert Lewandowski and Gerd Müller for goals per minute in the Bundesliga https://www.bundesliga.com/en/news/Bundesliga/luka-jovic-enters-history-books-with-5-goal-haul-for-frankfurt-vs-fortuna-515470.jsp It's rare enough for a professional footballer to notch an elite-level hat-trick, but scoring five goals in a single game is a truly extraordinary achievement, as Eintracht Frankfurt's Luka Jovic discovered in his side's 7-1 demolition of Fortuna Düsseldorf on Matchday 8. "Of course, I'm delighted," a breathless Jovic told Frankfurt's official website, after becoming the first Eagles player to register a five-goal haul in the Bundesliga. "It's been an emotional day. But it's not about my five goals – the team put in a sensational performance." Jovic's heroics not only took him joint-top of the Bundesliga scoring charts with seven goals - level with Borussia Dortmund's Paco Alcacer - but also saw him improve his top-flight tally to 15 strikes in just 28 outings. With a goal every 82 minutes, he now has a better goals-to-minutes ratio than legendary strikers Gerd Müller (105) and Robert Lewandowski (112), and even holds the all-time record for a player with at least 25 appearances. Adi Hütter's side began to carve Fortuna open with surgical precision midway through the first half, as Sebastien Haller put them ahead from the penalty spot. Jovic then set the tone for his sublime evening with a Goal of the Month contender: the excellent Filip Kostic whipped in a cross from the left, and the young Serbian twisted acrobatically in mid-air before volleying past the helpless Michael Rensing for 2-0.

Genoa will not sell him in January I fear. They have officially stated this and the amount of money to get them to change their mind will be insanely high to take a gamble on Piątek I am afraid (probably £60m or more). Our options are really poor at this point. stopgap measures Anthony Modeste, 30yo, in China cashing in, sign him for 2 years. In 2016-17 he was an absolute BEAST for Köln (who got relegated as soon as he left), 34 goals in 43 games, all comps, ands 25 of those were Bundesliga league goals Edin Dzeko Roma, 33 in March though so at mosat (if a January buy) I would give is until June 2021, his contract is up in June 2020, so we could get him on a free in summer, but that doesn't help us this year Edinson Cavani (PSG will never sell him in January though) BY FAR the best of the over 30 somethings, I would love to see him here for a year and half or 2 and half whilst we sort it out long term out long term, big issue is PSG will NOT sell him cheaply, even at 32yo (which he turns in February) Bas Dost of Sporting turns 30 in May, scores a shit tonne ( 71 goals in last 2 years, all comps) in Liga NOS, is a giant, 1.96m Finally the truly INSANE play Zlatan Ibrahimovic He can still score like a motherfucker, he is certainly capable of playing with us until at least end of 2021

I was unaware a month was now 2 days long

Bakayoko coming on for injured Biglia, This is game number one of his six games to show he can play or back he comes to us. update, now Biglia will keep playing

This why I am begging for Sarri to try Barkley at RW as long as Pedro is carrying a knock. He surely cannot be as bad as Willian. Barkely isnt a ball hog who slows up play.

Idiot donkey, sooner he is off the books the better!

LOLOL you are having a laugh?? they are both miles beyond Morata Alexandre Lacazette Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (31 goals in 38 games last year) Álvaro Morata

Junior Firpo FTW I go into basically all the other LB options too, Telles now has a 75m euro release clause, as he just signed a new contract, same for Jose Gaya, who now has a 100m euro release clause after new contract signed. This coming summer is last year Alex Sandro is of an age worth buying, but even now he is maybe not worth the £70m plus Juve will demand as we would only get a year and a half of sub 30yo play out of him and fullbacks age badly.

Ruthless and proactive in the dictionary has Marina's face on the definition... OH Wait! That"s a MARINE.

I never said sell all 4 in January, but surely Morata needs to go then, and the other 3 in summer. For just Luiz (£30m from PSG), Willian £65m from Barca) and Alonso (£40m from RM and I think could have gotten £45m) we turned down a collective £135-140m in hard offers. We tried to get £70m for Morata! Turned down £55m from Milan. Thats almost £200m total. Could have had Icardi for £98m in July. £60m would surely have prised away Bailey from Leverkusen. £37m is all Barca paid for Malcom. PSG only paid £33m for Thilo Kehrer, who isnt just a great young ball playing CB, but can play RB good enough to start there for Germany against France in their last game. Alex Telles's release clause was only £35m at LB. Now he renewed and it is double that. We could have had CF Icardi RW Bailey LB Telles CB Kehrer For only a £25 to £35m net spend. Sub out Bailey for Malcom and the net spend drops close to par to £10m or so. Far better, far younger upgrades in, and max money gathered in from now rapidly devalued players. Instead, the moronic board wants to RENEW all but Morata, with raises. Really hard not to hate them. They are destroying our present and our future. Marina going on a 3 week plus long holiday in middle of the window borders on the criminal.

As long as Ampadu is injured, I can live with Luiz, as AC is (I hate to say it) atm very shakey (partially from almost no minutes or very few so is rusty) not a great option, nor is Cahill. The other 3 need to sod off immediately. I still say say Barkley at RW if Pedro is still carrying a knock. Put CHO in the mix too, before he bolts. Emerson, although not close to the pre Roma injury player is surely worth a run out at LB. Alonso is the most overrated player in the EPL, except for dross like Özil. Morata at this point makes the turgid Abraham look a viable option. I say run Giroud into the ground with games. Maybe bring Morata in for last 20, 30 minutes of games we have in hand simply to give Giroud rest.

Morata is STAGGERINGLY horrid. IF we are not going to buy a new striker in January, we need to pull Bats back on loan and just ram him into the starting lineup every fucking game, sink or swim. ANYTHING he gives is an upgrade on Morata, who is easily the biggest £70m or more bust in football history. The other 3 are also shit and need to be tossed the fuck out, NOT GIVEN FUCKING RAISES AND EXTENSIONS. Roman needs to sell the fucking club if he is going to run it into the fucking ground.

Why the FUCK are we going to extend 3 of the four WORST starters we have contracts? Willian Alonso Luiz They are all SHIT (plus Morata) Watching the Shitty game (5 nil as I type, now a final) makes me even more aware of how utterly far away we are from being a WC team again. Those four cunts need to BENCHED and summarily sold. If Sarri ends up being sacked (not likely this year, but who knows) his insistence of playing these 4 ass clowns will be a big reason why. Not at all happy.........................................................................

It worked!!!! Typed that we had lost, so we scored!

Shameful selection and tactics by Sarri. This one is on him.

Horrid shot by Azpi.

They better add at least 8 minutes

Grrrrr.

Motherfucker. Its the same fucking twats over and over Luiz Morata Alonso Willian All of them need to fucking GO. They simply are NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

Ffs. FUCKING LUIZ. CUNT

We have not yet failed to win. Have some faith! Lolo

Fuckkkkkk.
