Zoowraa Report post Posted August 28, 2013 Difficult to judge...since we've been mainly farming Belgium as of late.Well I hope you are right and he does end up on loan for this season. Just too many to manage and keep happy with him thrown into the mix. Not seen much of him at all, I hope he is not another SWP who just offers pace and nothing else.

kratos Report post Posted August 28, 2013 Not another attacking midfielder. Does this mean we're copying the Barca front 4 approach? Striker Jose!!! Striker!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bison Report post Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) Perhaps after the Atsu signing we should start stockpiling central-midfielders and strikers instead of attacking-midfielders/wingers. Edited August 28, 2013 by Bison Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Blue Essien Report post Posted August 28, 2013 When speaking of Etoo's age, keep in mind he's as old as Drogba was when he scored 37 goals in 44 appearances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Blue Essien Report post Posted August 28, 2013 Is Atsu a pure winger? I'm wondering whether he may be looked at as a LB option in the long term... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Droy was my hero Report post Posted August 28, 2013 Maybe. He is a regular at Porto though isn't he? I can't think of too many regulars, if any, at big clubs we have purchased and then loaned out?? Is he?http://espnfc.com/player/_/id/158109/christian-atsu?cc=5739Seems he has only started 8 games for Porto.Given he is 21 already, it is rather odd that we would be interested in him at all.

0liver Report post Posted August 28, 2013 I think it has more to do with his contract(expiring next year). He is clearly available on a cheap and if he has a decent loan we can make a nice profit off him, espescially if we don't pay his wages.1 goal in 28 league appearences for Porto isn't exactly wonderkid material.

Give or take a year or so, he's about the same age as KDB, Lukaku, Moses, Oscar, Mata, Hazard, Schurrle etc when we signed them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nick89 Report post Posted August 28, 2013 Keep all our strikers and play Lukaku regularly. Rooney is a top player, but if he now wants to stay, there are no good strikers available. I honestly think its a joke to loan out Demba Ba and sign Eto'o. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
