Or just hitting his prime at 26.

Just like Michu did in 2012 with Swansea at 26 too. No sign of him now though.

emergingstar · 28-11-2015 08:23PM

We should go after Sturridge

Michu suffered from chronic ankle issue's.
He's pretty much retired now.

JustTheOne · 28-11-2015 08:39PM

Francis Jeffers lads.

Lets not get sucked into that one again.

#neverforget

Pity for him then but there are loads of others who played a great season and disappeared afterwards.

Andy Johnson remember him.

Very true.
Supposedly we sent a scout to watch Isco on Wednesday. Might explain Wenger's quote:

you have your eyes open. You never know, you can have a surplus somewhere or players who do not play and who have the quality. We’ll see."

Don't we have Ozil in Isco's position though or is he more of a winger forgive my ignorance on the player,

28! Time definitely not on his side. Who knows though.

He can play anywhere across the middle.
With Rosicky and Campbell leaving at the end of the year it'd be a smart signing.

I'd like to see us go for Ross Barkley, he has it all. Good control, excellent passer, vision, tekkers, always willing to receive it and good off both feet already. Think he would fit in well at Arsenal, I remember reading that he watches videos of Mesut tp learn from.

Good player but if very limited positionally. He can only play in the centre because he's poor defensively. He's basically Ramsey without the defence and workrate.

Probably cost about £35M which is too much for a player who woudn't even make out starting 11.

29 in a month. He's had a fantastic Cinderella story but I wouldn't expect any chance of us going near him, for numerous reasons. I just hope he sticks with Leicester til the summer, then I'd imagine it will suit both for him to move on. Given his age couldn't see him going for more than 15m, max 20m but then again transfer windows are silly season.

Yep, so he'll be 30 for half the season in 2016/17. His pace won't last forever so that'll be a huge factor as he gets older. You'd have to think the big clubs, regardless of his performance this season wouldn't want to be spending big bucks on someone who: 1. Is still unproven long term 2. Has no real long term future, can't sell him on if he fails.

Football can be mad though.

Honestly no harm in any of the top seasons signing him for 20 million, looking at transfer fees, 2/3 seasons as a impact player wouldnt be bad. Think he could do a job for any of ye

ronjo · 29-11-2015 07:54AM

So we just need a 5 goal win to go top

KaiserGunner · 29-11-2015 08:59AM

According to a tweet by the Premier League yesterday, we are wearing the third Jersey today. I'm not necessarily superstitious but our previous games in this kit haven't been pretty, hopefully today will Buck the trend! Norwich are a particularly poor side IMO, no excuses for not winning today, won't be easy, but three points is a must.

After getting nothing from WBA anything less than 3 points would be a disaster and hole our season below the water-line for me.

Not sure of the last time I wanted Chelsea to win a game. Be happy enough with a draw too.

Having an horrific season

A running theme at Chelsea. Hazard, Costa, Ivanovic....

I want Spurs to win. That's how much I want him sacked.

I'd rather the occasional decent performance to prolong the agony.

Yup.

gosplan · 29-11-2015 01:58PM

This is really a must win. Everyone dropping points except City.

Great opportunity to go top. Sadly, we should be going three points clear.

Coq or not Coq, the next run is basically our shot at winning the league.

Can't remember the last league game when someone didn't write that this is a must win (me included ).

We will have played two less home games than away also after today which is great if we can take all 3. Good not to have a midweek game also.
