Michy Batshuayi

[Superblue 6,372]

Fair play to him for scoring 2 goals today, but within half a dozen touches of coming on, it's alarming to see just how much more comfortable and technically proficient Hudson-Odoi looks compared to Bats.

Great for him if this is true.

Great for him, but in a market where we are linked with Crouch, Giroud and Dzeko it really doesn't get more depressing and underwhelming than this.

We couldn't be anymore in the bottom of the lost property box than we are right now.

I think Michy actually is good enough for a back-up option. Problem is that our main striker isn't consistent enough, either caused by his bad "form", or injuries/suspensions, so we need to use our backup striker a hell lot more than we would want to.

Not sure why Conte would say we need 3 strikers then let Michy leave, even if Giroud comes in or by some minor miracle Dzeko happens. He always had like at least 4 CFs at Juventus.

3 strikers: Morata, Giroud? and the other striker he referred to was Hazard who he said he can play there and can do a very good job there. So he basically was confirming Hazard as our 3rd striker. Also Juve played with 2 strikers up front so they had 4 strikers.

I sincerely hope not. Hazard should play wide or off the front. Sick of seeing us go with a false 9. Just leaves Eden extremely isolated and when he comes deeper to get the ball a lot of the time nobody is in front of him looking to get in behind. 3 CFs is needed, Morata, Giroud and Batshuayi (or would rather see Hudson Odoi get the minutes in all fairness if Batshuayi goes but no way Conte lets Batshuayi go and uses him more often) would do the job. 3 different types of players.

Conte didn't let anybody leave, it's the club. If it was up to him Matic would still be here for example.

He's barely used Batshuayi when we only had 2 strikers. I don't see that improving when we add another striker. It's pretty clear Conte doesn't really rate Batshuayi.

It makes senses that the club would let Batshuayi go out on loan. Why would a club keep a player that the manager rarely plays ?

Good luck Bats. I'm still hopeful he comes back stronger.
