The more I think about this signing, the more I absolutely loathe it. Absolute muck winger, slow, no creativity, no goals, no end product, no assists. And he has took up the vast majority of our meagre budget.

They wanted £20m last season, he has had a full season of 0 goals 1 assist and got relegated, and we pay it anyway for a Championship player!

Seriously: where are our goals coming from this season? We’ve lost our top scorer. DCL has had one good season, Gordon’s stats are nowhere near what his reputation would have you believe, which leaves us with the likes of Gray, Iwobi and Rondon to chip in. As it stands, I don’t think we score enough goals to stay up.

I'd say we paid about 3 or 4 million up front.
 

Can't even remember who our last number 7 was?

Forgot Jelavic wore it

What a player he was for about a week
 
He's here now so let's all get behind him. Realistically he has a lot of potential, his stats (beyond end product) look encouraging but man does he need to end some goals and assists this season. He could be a steal if he develops, equally could be a flop. But let's be honest we've wasted more on worse if he dies flop, with this one I'm starting to see the logic. Clear lampard is trying to build a young team he can develop over time.
 
The more I think about this signing, the more I absolutely loathe it. Absolute muck winger, slow, no creativity, no goals, no end product, no assists. And he has took up the vast majority of our meagre budget.

They wanted £20m last season, he has had a full season of 0 goals 1 assist and got relegated, and we pay it anyway for a Championship player!

Seriously: where are our goals coming from this season? We’ve lost our top scorer. DCL has had one good season, Gordon’s stats are nowhere near what his reputation would have you believe, which leaves us with the likes of Gray, Iwobi and Rondon to chip in. As it stands, I don’t think we score enough goals to stay up.
They wanted £35/40m last summer, so that's a lie straight away.

Go and have a lie down before you pop something mate.
