Enner Valencia

Not good enough either. Would rather blood one of the U-23s.

Apart from DCL, we really have a lack of quality strikers (as back up to Rom) at the club. Having watched the under 23s on a few occasions, there is nobody ready to even make the bench for the first team.

If we didn't have 2 gash centre halves he would've scored the winner.

Wouldn't mind seeing DCL given another opportunity. Like what I've seen in his short cameos so far.

Can anybody remember, was Valencia unavailable in the appearances DCL has made this year. I've got a feeling he was but I may be wrong.

He was indeed.

He may have even came off the bench for DCL that time he sustained the injury.

He was available you mean?

Well that's a plus. I had it in my head for some reason that DCL only got game time because Valencia wasn't available. If he got in on merit then RK should be open to doing it again.

 

[davids]

I here he played well against Arsenal.

 

[RFUS]

Was a nice finish to be fair.

Yes, Valencia was available IIRC.

Is the young lad fit again?

So Eggs reckons.

 

[Groucho]

I see he wants to stay.

No I'm sorry, this is exactly what we're all on about. He's not good enough to take us further.

 

[blueblue]

I cannot see any way that he will be retained.
He is very peripheral still in a small squad, basically just making up numbers.

 

[4737carlin]

The only way we will keep him is if he is cheaper then the 15 talked about and we want to keep the squad numbers up because of the extra Europa league games

of course he does, he's punching above his weight. He wasn't even good enough for west ham, never mind us.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

Seems a nice lad but not good enough to even help us out in Europe unfortunately

 

[andy4efc]

Of the Kone molde IMO.

Not terrible, but not good enough for the standard required. Yes will provide some uses throughout the season with Lukaku (both VAlencia and KOne have done this), but overall, not worth the money banded about, should be aiming to get someone much better. Both Kone and Valencia where they have done well have been poachers, ones who grab loose balls in the box, and the way we play, and the fact Lukaku is always going to be hte main man, means they'll never be played the way that benefits them.
