If only we could have Crespo upfront that would be bliss.

Again, I accept the differing opinion but disagree. How anybody could think Keane has been better than Digne I have no idea but everyone's entitled to their opinion I suppose, even if it's absolutely batshuayi crazy,

Agreed but from CBs Keane has been the best. Would you agree L mate?
Buy defender I ment cb. Obviously digne has been better this season, he's been our best player this season.

I can see both sides of the Batshuayi proposal. On the one hand he fits what we have been trying to do since Brands came on, notably find players between the ages of 23-25 who because of a recent drop on performance are available for a reasonable reduction in price. On the other side I can see the concern that he is limited in aspects of his game and in truth he is not a sizeable improvement on what we have, or likely to become a world class striker.
It's difficult. I would love us to make a move for Werner. However we are very unlikely to be able to attract him. We are a long long way off being one of the top 6 teams. If you look at Arsenal currently, they are a long way off competing with some of the other teams in that bracket, and they are comfortably a top 6 side. There does have to be a degree of realism. If we can get an improvement on the team, then for now that might be as good as we can get.
The other side of that is that you can't keep going for punts. In essence Walcott was a bit of a punt. He filled a hole for 6 months but the became a problem. There is the potential Batshuayi does the same.
I do not think we will pay close to £40million for him. While £14 million seemed a steal, if we can settle anywhere below £25 million I would say it's a pretty fair price and would say Chelsea have done quite well out of the deal. I can't see many others coming in and bidding anywhere more than that.
I have my doubts, but if Silva can turn him around akin to Digne or Gomes then he will do well for us.

His appearances other than at marseille for the second year were largely substitutes and his goal to 90min ratio is actually quite phenomenal
So have literally no life experience but have a house. I’d prefer to get a house a bit later and go mental in my 20s.
Truthfully, I would find it difficult to say.
Firstly, saying 'our best centre half' basically comes down to whether or not he's been better than Zouma, because Mina's not played enough to be part of the conversation really, so even if he has it's not exactly a massive achievement. Keane has probably looked steadier than Zouma, but then I think Zouma could play with Mina or Jagielka and do OK while Keane's lack of pace and recovery skills could cause us a massive problem if he didn't have Zouma next to him.
I've said before, Keane is not absolutely dreadful - it's not like he should be in League One or anything - but in my opinion he simply doesn't have the skills to be anything better than 'decent'. I think this season is him at his best, and seeing as he makes a balls up virtually every week that doesn't fill me with confidence.

Not to be contrary on purpose, but Lukaku gave us 4 good years from 20-23

Just signed the 17 year old CB Astley to his first pro contract ahead of interested Arsenal.
