Enner Valencia

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Different team, set - up could be what the lad needs, so he deserves a chance to see what he can do, still can't get past the fact that his record is a bit crap though, 8 goals in 54 prem appearances.

He would do the job of a loan striker better than Valencia and that's all we are arguing about.

But let's drop this because I really don't want to be defending Jon bloody Walters.

Okay then lets talk about his mum, Julie walters, snog, marry or shag ?

Not saying that's definitive at all, just saying it's not like we haven't had a chance to see valencia play before.

Yes - I understand that - but it's Man United. There's a difference. And Mata was been signed as a first-teamer.

As a club, we are currently in a bit of limbo, specifically in regards to signing players who know they will be cover.

No Europe to offer, so that means any gametime is limited to injuries, sub appearances or the odd cup game.

Our first-choice striker is excellent and rightly key to our side. We rarely play with two 'out and out' strikers up top.

Any strikers who are currently second-choice at clubs challenging in Europe aren't gonna leave to be second choice here. (Gabbiadini)

Similarly, a striker who is first-choice at a club that has been on relatively equal footing over the past few seasons isn't gonna leave to be second-choice here. (Bony)

A striker at a lesser club is likely to go to a European club to be back up should they come calling (Perez, Janssen)

So, we're left with picking up a back-up striker from a club on relatively equal recent footing (West Ham) to be our back-up.

That doesn't mean their aren't still gems to be found.

That's why I mentioned Austin. He went to Southampton last January and they weren't in a better position than us. It's just not true it's impossible.

Valencia, Kone and freaking Niasse.

Thank God for bouncy shins is what I say.

You've changed your tune.

As long as the ball bounces into the goal of those shins.

Don't think getting a guy with two bum knees is the way to go when you want to start the press with the striker

I don't think a guy who can't score or play the role as a lone striker is the way to go when you need backup for Rom.

Sign her up ffs

I think Rom will thrive playing with him.

He's quick and will draw defenders out, surely will make it easier for Rom to find space to score!

I'm not saying it's impossible. I'm pointing out that it isn't as easy or simple as you and others constantly say it is - albeit parts of our transfer dealings still do seem amateurish.
