It should be an area we target, but can’t see us doing it.
Good goalkeepers win you points - Niemi replacing Jones was probably worth 10-12 points a season for us.
Done ok so far, not had loads to do. His partner is taking the brunt of Dike up front. Barnsley can’t be accused of overcomplicating the game, they get it up top quickly!
Looks like a modern day Marlon Harewood to me. Strong, quick but not the best technically. In addition to Ings maybe, as a replacement we’d be in trouble.
Keeping an eye on Guehi who we’ve been linked with.
Brentford must be a decent side to keep finishing where they do, but every time I’ve seen them they look pretty average to me.
On that showing I wouldn’t say Toney is in Watkins class and nowhere near a £35m player.
Was very skeptical when he joined, proved me wrong - was excellent for a few years. Clearly been on the downward spiral for the last couple of years and probably best for all parties that he moves on.
Little dig on instagram? "the time has come for me to seek a new challenge and find a new home that allows me the freedom to play and maximise my contribution to the team"
Agree, thought Benteke had a good game (playing for a contract somewhere by any chance?) - don't think Vestergaard won a header against him for most of the night.
Might have been a stretch to have him MOTM though.
