Doesn't look like Abraham will make it for this one? Lampard's pre-match presser at 1:30pm UK time later.

We play Arsenal at the end of next month. Great...

@Vesper, is that you!?

Give the fella some leeway. Hasn't played much this season and just came back from injury.

But somewhat contrasting to what's on Guardian...

Still not older than 24/25. Not that I won't take Werner, mind.

I meant older than 24/25!

Either one would be fine on a short team contract, like 2-3 years etc. We need experienced striker(s)!

We need someone more experienced to complement Abraham. We don't need more young players!

If only Standard Liege had won at Vitoria! That would have put Arsenal's Europa League hopes in serious jeopardy!

We need strikers, go get Lacazette/Aubameyang!

We should put in a cheeky bid for one of their strikers.

Yeah and if we're being honest, what has Sancho done to justify the 100 million+ price tag? He might be talented but he only came to the fore last season - which he did well TBF - and while he's still posting decent numbers this season, he hasn't been performing at the same level and is suddenly displaying bad behavior at Dortmund. If we're going to spend that much on someone, it should be for proven quality and/or someone in their peak.

Even if Sancho is sold next summer, I'm not sure if it's worth spending over 100 million on a player. We have 2-3 other areas that need urgent addressing next summer

+ Sancho was reportedly late for a team briefing and training session before Dortmund's defeat at Barcelona.
