Even if he's only out for weeks, that means we're still without a fit first team striker for weeks, with an important cup game coming up and some difficult league ties.
Ridiculous.
Ridiculous.
Exactly. We have Villa (h), Spurs (a), Palace (h), Swansea (h), Chelsea (a).
Those will be the games he'll miss, and you know Kenwright will be all over the "we can beat villa, palace and swansea without a striker" statement to Martinez.
Steven Naismith is barely a footballer let alone a striker.
Mirallas up top?
It doesnt really matter, hes been awful for about a month now, his 2nd touch is a throw in.
Jose got inside his head with that little arguement they had.

I hadn't thought of it like that but that's true enough. Lukaku hasn't been the same since that argument.
He's going to miss the Chelsea game anyway. Mirallas as a CF against Aston Villa, yes please!
I think that would be a waste of Mirallas. He has looked dynamite lately in the role of an inside forward.
We need a striker who drops into space and offers the easy outball, who can also spin off a defender and attack the six yard box when we attack in wide areas. I don't think Mirallas is that man - Lukaku looked it for a few months, but we need another guy in. Traore could very well be it, but we need a permanent guy.
