  1. i remember the days when we'd say it's stoke away 3 points. but now Hughes has done a fantastic job recruiting and transforming their style. I'd be happy with a draw to be honest. Give the new boy some minutes as well.

     

    Robles

    Coleman Jags Mori Baines

    McCarthy Barry

    Gerry Barkley Lennon

    Lukaku

     

    Sub - Niasse for Lukaku at some point

    Hopefully Lukaku's fit, and I would probably play start TC with Lennon on the right.

    As much as I love Del I think TC might be a better option to start against Stoke, and then we can unleash Del and Niasse against tired defenders in the 2nd half.

    I've a good feeling for this one.

  2. £13.5m in terms of money for a striker buys you a gamble - a very "promising" gamble.

     

    I will use Bony as an example... Swansea paid £12m for a proven scorer in a lesser league - they cashed in for £28m when he proved him premier league quality.

     

    If the lad fails, we would still likely get £7m+ for him. Thats the striker market at that level.

     

    I think £10m for a stiker that has effort over quality is actually a decent deal. By all accounts he is an absolute pest - he presses and fights for the ball, real workrate, the fact that he can score is a big bonus. Rom will be energised by him.

     

    I see good things from this signing.

    If what you say about his work rate etc comes to pass he will be just what we need.

    Even though I know nothing about this kid, I'm quite excited by the signing.
