Michy Batshuayi

[LAM09 7,043]

He's been here for 18 months and has continued to show he is not good enough. How much more time should we give him? Was same with Oscar few years ago. 
Today was probably his best performance for us in the PL, fair enough he was heavily involved in Willians goal and his run maybe opened up space but honestly the guy cost 33M and for that you’d expect that and more every time he plays, he just looks like he doesn’t give a fuck and out of his depth... he's had a real chance to show Conte he deserves a run in the team in the last few weeks with Morata struggling and he hasn’t shown anything except one goal which my granny would of scored. If we can get Dzeko in and get rid of Michy in the same deal I’d be very impressed because he really is poor for a second choice striker. If Morata were to suffer an injury to the end of the season or a large part of what’s remaining, I’d be very concerned about our chances of finishing top 4, unless another striker that is better comes in to beef our forward options up.

Oscar was a starter for most of his stay here & played a stupid amount in his first season. Not sure how you can compare a starter to someone that's hardly played. The option ahead of him has hindered us if anything this year, yet Michy is left with the odd opportunity.

I'd love him to play five consecutive games and see how he does, but I know that ain't happening now.

"If another striker arrives, then Batshuayi will go on loan," Conte said. "I think he wants to have the opportunity to play with regularity. I think this is right. If we stay with the same players from the start [of the season], it doesn't change. One player goes out, one player comes in. One player comes in, one player goes out."

Best for both parties. Has to be the right club, though. We have to be 100% sure that he'd be the undesputed #1 choice at whichever club he may go to or it's pointless. Only way he becomes a better player is by playing 90 minutes week in and week out.

Hearing Sevilla or Dortmund. Either would work I think.

Yeah, hes not good enough. Did good in France, showed nothing of that quality for us. Mid-table team for him at best.

He might be good at BM with Thorgan. They play together abd obviously know each others moves. I hope he does find his form again,

I think Dortmund would be a decent fit tbh. Isak has hardly played and not impressed when he has.

IT'S THE MAN-BUN!!!

Scored two goals but was largely anonymous. He's like a Grade C Mario Gomez.

Yeah, 100% agree. 18 months and I can count only one hand the amount of half decent games hes had. Like 3 or 4.

[Pizy 18,851]

There have never really been questions about his finishing. Reason he needs good loan is to improve the other parts of his game. Hold up play, passing, running with the ball. That stuff is all substandard.

Clearly got the talent but needs to play consistently so he can improve,

Funny thing is, he has scored the same amount of goals as Morata this season.

Yeah its quite a scary thought. But his holdup play is terrible although in all fairness today sometimes he did some things that probably surprised himself, as well as all of us haha.

Now this...

What's changed all of a sudden?

He just likes to complain about our squad quality/depth when we are not playing well
