It all comes down to the money. I think we stay up with or without him but if we have spunked silly money on wages, then he needs to bang loads of goals in.

Aside from that, I wonder if Roy has prioritised a striker and that's why he was down on Wickham at the weekend. A message to the board.

If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

Ok - my view - Wickham is miles away from being fit enough to play regular first team football. Benteke's no longer reliable. You don't select players to protect value because in their cases it's rapidly diminished in any case.

Our problem this season has been scoring goals. Especially given the number of chances created. We are in a relegation battle and need to find someone to start converting for us. If Michy delivers and scores the goals that keep us up and it increases his value when Chelsea come to sell then I see that as a win-win.

Old, Ungifted and White

I like Wickham and I think he provided glimpses against Liverpool of what he is capable of. I agree he should go on loan if only to pick up match fitness over a sustained period. He is good enough to play Prem football but 10 minutes here and there is not going to cut it. The same goes for Benteke however we do need 3 fit strikers ready to play. Would a loan move have to be abroad then? I can't remember how the rules for loans work outside the window.

Wickham will be fine, but it will take virtually the rest of the season to get fully back on track.
Meanwhile we have done a terrific bit of business getting Michy in,a player we almost signed a couple of years ago, before Chelsea came in with more money and nicked him.

Stick him straight in the team and see what he can do. Can't be worse than Ayew and is fitter than Benteke and Wickham.

Let's hope Roy was actually asked if he wanted this one... Will be pissed if he spends the rest of the season on the bench.

If he starts scoring happy to have as much Batman stuff as people can type, meanwhile please restrain.
The whole Meyer of London crap didn't work too well
