I agree. I said several pages back that i don't understand this situation. Something isn't right.

I read mate. Sorry I just believe he will get plenty of game time even if we sign Kean. Personally I think you need a range of options. DCL will initially be our main striker with Kean or whoever we get rotating in and out and coming on as sub. I can't see DCL wanting to leave at all. Also we need to get out of this mindset that we have eleven players and if we buy anyone they will instantly replace them and the player won't get game time ever again. Football is now a squad game not an eleven players game. You need options, last season we had DCL and Richarlison who isn't comfortable yet as choices. Tosun and Niasse aren't up to standard. Look at the RS and City and how many forwards and striking options they have the truth is you need a range of attacking options and DCL will be one of those, we need someone more clinical to work with and rotate with him.

If you're a club who plays European football every season & does well, a club that can get to the quarterfinals of the domestic cups most seasons then it's far easier to have a full squad of solid players. Plenty of games to go around.
If you finish 8th & do bad in the cups then game time is at a premium. Not so easy to keep good players on a bench.
Loan with option to buy would be the best move for us, but I doubt the Italians would go for it.

Well he would be a free transfer at the end of that so probably a reason.
Makes sense. Explains the lack of loan to buy shouts.

Only thing I can think fo is
A. Juve will extend contract and then loan maybe with an option to buy
B. We will loan with an obligation to buy at the end of 19/20 so that finances are okay for this period.

I take the point but you still need more than one first team standard striker don't you?! Tosun and Niasse aren't up to standard or don't fit Silva's system. Also we hope to be in European competition at some point don't we? DCL isn't a finisher either we are currently way too reliant on goals from Richarlison and Sig, we need goals from others and more cutting edge that's the only way to compete. Also DCL is a kid and he won't be kicking off he is progressing and will get enough games even if we bring someone else in, some games will suit his hold up/work hard style. Maybe he won't make the grade and be sold in the future but that's another question. We need more options off the bench. Look at our bench who on there can change a game? Theo? Lookman? Tosun? All inconsistent.

It's a tough balance. Players are quick to up sticks nowadays. Of course we need options though. Would be easier to keep DCL on the bench right now but even he will get itchy feet soon enough.

I think he will get enough games. He is currently our main striker even if someone comes in. The new striker will have to rotate in and out come off the bench. We may even play two up front at times, unique idea I know.

Ahhhhhhh two up front. Happy memories.
