Yep.

Apparently they wanted him last time and their only forwards at the moment are Carlton Cole and that Maiga fella who's utter gash.

Unless someone comes in and offers him decent wages "Jela" isn't leaving this gravy train for no one anytime soon.

When he starts slotting you're going to be 'vaulted'

I actually give him quite a bit of credit for still running around and trying to get involved every time he comes on. Lots of people would just do nothing.

He's trying TOO hard now though. It's clear he's in his own head.

people have been saying that for over a year on here

Yes but the two years before he was slotting for fun

I thought he did quite well when he came on yesterday to be honest. He missed that chance but at least he got the chance, which is something hasn't been able to do very often in the last year. I don't think lukaku will be too concerned about his place in the side yet though.

We have had at least five one on ones with the keeper in the last two weeks...scored none. Practice needed

thought so too. he looked pretty good, still a bit TOO selfish but thats a striker. He COULD turn it around and reform from being 'utter tosh' to just 'i wish we had better'.

Shame to see Defoe going to the MLS - he can still do a job in the Prem.

Not if it's to Houston it's not.

yes, that is my thought. An hour a day practice vs our keepers until it is a default shooting response. Looks cool too

Messi does it all the time and if it's good enough for him...

Doesn't do it as much now...I miss those goals. Jelly should definitely have dinked it to the far post. I'd love him to score a late winner in one of the next two.

Problem is he can do that all day in practice but when he gets out there for real i think he just panics and hacks at it, on Sat he should of been under zero pressure with us being 4 up at the time but still couldn't finish it

If you notice the one on ones we have had, the goalies have done well to stay on there feet rather than go to ground. If you mean chipping from a distance then I think we have only had the 1 opportunity to do this and that was Gerard against the RS
