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.
I'm not saying it's easy but that's their job and you would think given a whole window and money available we could have done better.

I'm not saying we would have got him but Milik was talked about early on in the window and he's been scoring for fun since moving to Italy. Jannsen went to Spurs.

Maybe we should have gone for someone like Sebastien Haller who again was mentioned - I think. He's got a good record and doesn't seem to have many weaknesses.

Even as backup you would like to think we could attract him from the likes of Ultrecht. He could even be an eventual replacement for Rom if he does well. He's already scored 4 in 6 this season and has shown year on year steady progress. Unfortunately bigger clubs may be interested next summer.
 
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!
Mental talk - you are effectively having to drop one of Mirallas, Bolasie, Barkley, Gueye or Barry for this clown in that case.

No, there is no place for this idiot - cant even see where he can get in a rotation situation with us being out of the league cup now.

....a good benchmark to a forwards worth is whether defenders feel they have been in a real game when they leave the pitch. Whether it's a physical battle or simply that their opponent has been a real handful with his movement and ability. I felt the Norwich CBs were not tested or stretched by Valencia on Tuesday. On their journey home I doubt either spoke much about him.
