London Blue

He hasn't been given the chance to prove himself one way other other, it's clear we are not going to play him so lets loan him out to a championship team so we can see what he has got.

Great going forward, better defensively today. Still not great but if he can continue to improve in his defensive skills he will be a good player for us.

Given it to Lookman, great attacking threat in the first half, worked well with Martina and was our most dangerous player. He gave us real impetus. He was not as effective when he switched to the right, and looked a little bit rusty, but gave a massive challenge to the manager to leave him out. Thought Gana, Morgan, Klassen, well everyone else played really well. Klassen is looking sharper and better with every game. We tired in the second half, and went to sleep again. Nice to see Besic come on and do well.

Siggy's coming home. :jump for joy: :jump for joy:

Going to be a quality player for us I can feel it. Welcome aboard Siggy :jump for joy:

Praise Jesus.

Giroud is a target man and he has great touch and skill. I think we need a focal point to our attacks, who can have presence in the box to score goals with head or feet.

He's third choice now, and we know he loves playing so can see this happening.

Thanks baza, you have been a true pro and a credit to the shirt.

His ability may spook opponents...

We need both. Siggy provides creativity, and a goal threat but is not a striker, we need both.

We need a striker, a target man. I agree with Pad that we are't at the stage where we can get a 25 goals a year striker. What we need is one that can get 15 - 20. With Rooney, Sandro, Klaassen, Mirallas, Lookman, DCL, they should each be looking to get into the 8 - 10 goals a season mark which makes up for Lukaku's goals. When we are set we will not be so one dimensional and carry multiple threats. A much better team.

Lookman needs game time tho, and I know hes only 31 but he has played every pre season game, and qualifier. He can always come on as a sub if needed.

Team I would like to see: Pickford, Holgate, Keane, Williams Coco, Schnielderlin, Davies, Klaassen Lookman, DCL, Sandro Save Rooney, Mirallas and Gana for City game.

Keep playing him, as a center forward and we will reap the benefits.

He's not, thinking that is.

Womens World Cup Rugby, oh well.

Bugger - I thought ITV were covering all the Euro Cup games.

Is this on TV?

Why would we sign someone just to give our physio's someone to work on. That's why we have McCarthy.

True

Curse of middle age

Why he's not a striker. I wouldn't want anything to distract from the parts of his game he excels at. If he scores then its a bonus.

I spent most of my school years growing up in a council estate in Bristol, had to take 3 buss's to get to school.

I was a prefect, although not a sadist like some of them.
