Batshuayi not pulling up trees in Valencia, though, mate. With that said I liked him prior to that and certainly wouldn’t say no to a loan with a view to buy if Chelsea recall him.

Aye all transfers are a gamble.
But signing a player who has struggled once before in the league is not quite the same. You can argue this lad was in a relegation fight that season sure, but that then falls back into the Steve walsh way of doing transfers which has filled out squad full of crap and put us in this position to begin with.
Whereas our best performers this season and for a good while now have all been from club's who haven't played in relegation battles, in fact ones that have played at the highest level.
That's the difference in transfers.
True, but then when one failed in the league once before and the other is struggling to break into his current team then you have to ask why, if they are so good to begin with?
Lewen for example is exactly the same as them and isn't good enough to play up front for us due to ability or lack of experience. Point being, why gamble on players you know are struggling at this level on the hope they come good here? At least gamble on a striker who is doing well

Dont like Zouma? As were only allowed 1 domestic loan from same club
Bats is awful also
No mate, I dont believe in going the game, seems like something only a fool would do.
Soz then, I honestly thought I read you say you supported the other team.

Havent seen that anywhere myself.

There’s not a purchase that ISN’T a gamble. Every single transfer is a gamble, I just think this would be one worth taking. The lad is obviously talented. You said yourself, we NEED a striker but you don’t want to gamble on another. Tell me, who would you suggest then that isn’t a gamble?
Simon Clueless Jones.
Can’t quite agree with that, mate.
Pickford was POTY last year after being relegated. Gueye has been one of our best players since signing from a relegated club and Sigurdsson has been one of our better players this year after leaving Swansea.
I get where you’re coming from generally but Abraham has come through the Chelsea ranks; his loan at Swansea was just that, and not indicative of that being “his level”
Necessarily.
Ultimately, the scarcity of players available in Jan coupled with the ridiculous asking prices from clubs that can smell our desperation is going to make any striker deal very hard. I see Abraham as someone who would be relatively cheap in today’s market, would take little or no integration into the culture and could HOPEFULLY bring some of his Champo form up with him.
Ahhh yeah, good spot. He did well for Dortmund but is struggling at the minute.
Personally I dont consider him any different to DCL, thats the problem, they both have the same "will they, wont they" feel about them.
