Olise, Benteke and Edouard across the front with Eze in behind. And if we can snag Nketiah, swap out Benteke. With Gallagher and Hughes in midfield with Jimmy Mac as soon as he returns. Happy days!

I would suggest we need points rather than trying to establish if a loanee is worth buying. The coaching staff on the training ground is capable with that judgement without risking dropped points. COYP

With all due respect, I'm glad PV is in charge instead of you. Mateta is cabbage (good finish aside).

With Ayew and Wilf away, I'd assume we'll need to play Edouard wide, so will need one of those 2 duffers to play through the middle. But I'd also be a fan of trying Eze wide (as he played last season)and go with a front 3 of Olise, Edouard and Eze

I think Benteke is no more than a squad player these days. He had a brief spell earlier in the season when he looked like the player of old, but he hasn't maintained it. Mateta, still looks a long way off being able to play at this level. In my view, he and Benteke aren't reliable starters. And I don't think we need the two of them if they are blocking a potential signing. Whether we have the funds available I don't know.

He’s a confidence player, which means play him, feed him and he’ll score. Muck around giving him the odd start mixed with a few minutes etc and he’ll suffer. Just my take. There’s still a player there.

My wish for 2022 - bye-bye to Benteke! Fed up with the big. static man missing chances and giving the ball away.

Just my take. There’s still a player there. I couldn't agree less. Yep, he might score the odd goal if he plays 90 mins every week, but the guy is detrimental to our style of football. Limited movement - no intelligent runs, no pressing
