49Throw in West Ham, QPR, Millwall and Palace too and you’d have another. Although technically he signed for Arsenal and thought better of actually playing for them. Great conversation for another thread.

I see the sarcasm went over your head!!Gallas.
Jj still positive
Jj still positive
He just deleted his tweet tho - someone asked if JJ's bet that we would sign a striker was still available and he said 'Absolutely it is' and seemed very happy, but as I said he deleted, hopefully he's just being cautious.Jj still positive
Eriksen?Important to clarify jj is positive we’ll get a striker, doesn’t mean that the striker in question won’t be shit. Yes I’m looking at you Christian.

Re Hercules ITK earlier
If Jose Mourinho could now manage Balotelli, particulary for the next couple of months
IMHO he could be the best player we were linked with for a loan deal
Yes the guy is nuttier than a fruitcake, But he is nearly 30 now,
but actually he has the potential to be an amazing world class footballer if he can get the discipline right... and Jose has managed him before so if he came ....Huge pace,Two footed, great in the air one of the best set piece and penalty takers in world football.
Has Drogba type physique....
And then I woke up....having said that his goal scoring stats are still pretty good and he can hold the ball up...
If jose would take him, (who once said he is unmanageable) then he knows he what hes getting into
Funnily enough high risk yes, but actually could really tie it all together for us

I think he's still capable of scoring with type of flicked goals that he used to score for the trash. Remember the overhead heel kick that he scored?He hasn’t been up to the pace of the premiership for about 3 years.
I know Benteke is not great but ‘pulling the trigger’ on him seems harsh.JJ's continued optimism makes me think we've got a back-up option to pull the trigger on at any time if needed, someone who we know is available and will come at the drop of a hat. The only one who fits that bill for me is Fernando Llorente, who we were linked with re-signing at the start of the window.
That's the only basis I can see for remaining so optimistic at this point.
"Saved" from the horrors and perils of having a match-fit, vaguely-competent striker in the squad.
Yeah I'd rather we have no one too, because the perceived purity of our players' former employers is more important to me than the immediate success of this club. Said no one with their priorities in order.
