If Broja is their best striker then he will play. This is hopefully true. Broja offers things the other strikers do not have. Broja is 191 cm tall, very fast and can also score with his head. I don't see Long, Armstrong and Adams have Broja's characteristics. I will watch a lot of his games and Livra. So pleased for both of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it makes more sense for Soton to not play Broja and let the other guys play instead, who are at Soton for the long term. Broja will only be there for one season. Nothing more True, but it's not like Shane Long is a long-term player for them either. He turns 35 in January and is out of contract next summer. And Michael Obafemi has been a fringe player for them anyway and is also out of contract next year, so without a huge improvement this season I can't see him staying there much longer either. Unless he's a total flop in training Broja should be ahead of those two at the very least. That would leave Armstrong and Adams as his main competition for playing time, and I think Soton play with two strikers so whether it's as a starter or a substitute he should get minutes in most games. Of course there's risks that he might get stuck on the bench with little playing time, but this is a massive opportunity for Broja. He has a chance to prove himself at the best league in the world so let's hope he keeps his momentum going from last season instead of wasting a year and then having to take a step backwards (like Tammy after Swansea loan).

He should be able to get minutes able to compete with these guys, if not, he'd have no chance with Lukaku and Werner. Based on quality alone, Broja should prevail but the others are more experienced in English senior footy so the temptation is there for Southampton to stick with them. I don't think they will just sit him on the bench all the time,they pay him after all. in the end small clubs know most quality players will not stay for long no matter if they are loaned or bought. they have to survive and if that requires playing a loanee they will do it. Some might still appreciate the player as Wigan did with Reece if the quality is just too much to ignore or try to sway him like everton with lukaku. The problem with loans is, if the loanplayer is just ok-ish he will be scrutinized more critically and play less than he deserves killer1257 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're just annoyed you didn't get the latest poster boy in halaand. If there was no rumours and gossip on halaand you would be so happy right now. You lot are not real Chelsea fans at all. For me Lukaku is not in that category but I think people just dont like him in general. I feel that way with Sterling, Mane...They are both 100m players maybe but I would not take them for free, I am just so annoyed with them, by just looking at them... So maybe some people feel that way with Lukaku... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyikolajevics 2,697 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 What about Koundé? Rumours have silenced nowadays, papers claimed it was nearly done deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAPHOD2319 4,814 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Fabrizio tweeted last week that Kounde was on hold until the Lukaku deal was completed. He said both sides are still negotiating. nyikolajevics 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikkiCFC 8,317 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 100M and Alonso is way better offer than just 115m. Inter is weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikkiCFC 8,317 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Also, I see many people here want Spurs to lose Kane... Which would be worst news to us. I really think Kane to City or not is title decider. They got Grealish but they also have other players who produce crazy numbers on his position. They lost Aguero and are left only with Jesus average player as classic striker. Which is like Chelsea having only Abraham. And now with Lukaku we could be front runners. If they get Kane they would be clearly... So people need to focus on Chelsea and our biggest rival City. Forget about your hate for Spurs because Kane or no Kane they are not a threat. bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, nowadays lots of players nearing their mid thirties are playing on high level. every non GKer over 31yo who is good enough to start for us (at least some of the time and if no Lukaku) there is not that many we do not already have by descending age Zlatan Ibrahimovic Cristiano Ronaldo Giorgio Chiellini Luka Modric Sergio Ramos Gerard Piqué Lionel Messi Edinson Cavani Luis Suárez Dries Mertens (iffy, very iffy now that he is 34yo and slowing down) Leonardo Bonucci 32-33yo atm Robert Lewandowski Karim Benzema Ángel Di María Gareth Bale ?????
