The key word you're conveniently overlooking there is " rumoured ".

Let's face it, any two bob sports website can start " rumours " at the drop of a hat.

In the past week we've had "rumours" that Gomes has snapped a hamstring and Mina has had a foot amputated !!!!!!!!.

It's just click bait for the tin foil hat mob to lap up.

I've kindly passed those rumours onto my younger brother....he's fuuuuuming lol

Yes, definitely. I know it went a bit pear shaped later on, but i would genuinely put early Jelavic in with some of my absolute favourite players. Moyes ended up having him run the channels for the benefit of the team and we lost what he gave us and he lost his confidence. He was a much better player than some give credit for.

Sounds like a cheap shot at Moyes. My opinion : we were lucky to get jelavic in the most purple of patches...the form of his life. He never rekindled it to my knowledge.
 

Time to settle on a front four and it simply has to be Bernard, Richarlison, Walcott, with Sigurdsson behind them. Tosun is nothing compared to any of those and has beeb terrible this season. Let this four gel or at least give them a run of games to show if it can work.

Got a chance today to try get a goal against poor opposition and get some form going.

Wolves (10th)
Southampton (14th)
Bournemouth (8th)
Huddersfield (20th)
West Ham (17th)

Doesn't seem to matter if the opposition is poor or not, going by the season to date. He's distinctly underwhelming regardless of the standard of the opposition.

Tosun is the sort of player Bolton signed in the late 1990's and early 2000's, Quite the coincidence, when you consider who signed him for us.

He's not good enough, but we do need him to chip in with at least 5-10 goals before January when we can address the issue.

Problem is, there aren't many good strikers about who we can get.

Walcott shouldn't be guaranteed a start, imo. I don't think he's good enough. I'd rather try get Lookman involved. Walcott has been distinctly average their campaign to date.

There is loads if people just watch a bit football outside of the PL, the one we should be looking to go for is Maxi Gomez of Celta Vigo, 22 years old 1 in 2 record and only going to get better. We need to get in there before a big club does.

In fairness, out of our opening games only Southampton and Huddersfield are poor teams. Wolves have had a very difficult start to the season that includes creditable draws against ourselves, City and United. Don't be misled by West Ham's lowly position either. They also have had a very difficult start to the season, but they followed up their win against us by taking the first points off Chelsea this season in a game they should have won and also could very easily have beaten Arsenal away too. I expect both of those teams, together with Bournemouth, to finish comfortably mid table or top half this season.

I'm not defending Tosun here, just saying that the start we had was not necessarily the gimme that a lot of people are making out. Tosun is clearly lacking confidence at the moment, but is still our best option when playing against teams that will park the bus. I don't believe Fulham will do that today so I expect Marco to keep him on the bench. I wouldn't be surprised if he continued with DCL up front, but I'd like to see him start with Richarlison up there to make space for Bernard on the left.

Tosun was poor against both Huddersfield and West Ham, but prior to that his overall play has been pretty good. I think not scoring is playing on him and if he get's a goal I think his confidence will return. He's not the sort of player to get us 20 goals, but I think you'll find that with him in the team there will be goals for the other forward players. He didn't do that on the two games mentioned above and that is my main concern, not the fact that he isn't scoring.

It’s always a gamble going abroad for strikers, IMO. Look at Sandro, he was brilliant in La Liga.
