I think we all know it will be son mixed with a bit of Lucas and maybe one or two outings from the bench for parrot.
and
this radars are so funny right now
Hmmmm. Maybe we actually might get this bloke?
Who is The Wolf?
Who is The Wolf?
No idea. Could be rubbish.
Whilst it would be good for parrott I don’t think it’s plausible for a champions league chasing team team to rely on a 17 year old until virtually the end of the seasonI think we need to give Parrott 90 minutes against Boro on Tuesday before we purchase Piatek or another striker. If he performs well, he has Watford away and Norwich at home to further audition. I still think DM is a bigger priority than a ST. If Parrott looks out of his depth, we probably need to pull the trigger on someone. Shame he was never given a proper chance before Kane went down.
off Gladiators lol
It's possible that Mourinho just wants a target man for route one game situations similar to how Poch used Llorente. And if Piatek has enough in his knees to go a full ninety minutes and at least make an effort at pressing then it's not necessarily the craziest/stupidest option if the price is low enough. He's not as fat as VJ and has played in a somewhat more legitimate league. He can score from open play and work space for a shot in and around the box. And much better in the air than VJ. So one can't rule out that he could be effective at times.
Obviously he's slow and has an atrocious first touch. He's going to lose possession. But the going rate for an in-form striker with potential and physical characteristics/pace is so high. And then you wind up with a player like Batshuayi in the squad who is unhappy with the playing time and out of form for lack of it but also overpaid and can't be shifted because of the wages.
For me this isn't crazy. Not exciting but there's at least some logic, especially as a six month loan. And low expectations.
