Of course he does. However even just occasionally would be nice. In honesty Zaha can't cross, Townsend can't cross and Bolasie couldn't either. Our entire game plan since promotion has revolved around wingers feeding target men but we've never had anyone who can even semi-consistently deliver decent crosses. Hence the lack of goals for Benteke, Wickham, Sorloth, Chamakh etc.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...

Plus we haven’t had a decent midfielder since Cabaye who can pass to an attacker without the opposition having 10 minutes to getting into a defending position to cut out said pass - grrr!

I would get rid of him personally his had enough chances to prove himself think we should get what we can get for him and fresher up the forward line with more hungry forwards and not a forward who is just here to take a pay check

We should have let him go when his contract expired. Could have saved ourselves a years wages. To think that anybody is actually going to pay a transfer fee for him is pure fantasy.

He has become a massive financial liability

Agreed every club can have a bad window as they fail to sign their key targets. We seem to have had 4/5 on the trot which suggest our strategy is wrong.

If we can only afford a Mondeo there is no point shopping in the Ferrari store and hoping the salesman will knock 50% of the valuation.

If we don't have much money then it is better to look at cheaper targets. I would love a striker that scores 30 goals per season but unless you are incredibly lucky they are expensive. So I would settle for 2 strikers that score 10-15 goals per season each. Burnley have 3/4 strikers who just creep into double figures but it allows Dyche to rotate when they are out of form.
