He'll be gone by August, IMO
For some reason Conte had his eye on a big strong forward but I felt Chico would have suited him far better, I never really felt the rumour about Carroll would ever have come to anything but It did make me wonder why he didn't look at Chico, In my head I envisaged a little loan swap with Bats as that could have worked out better for both as Chico would get better service in the way he needs and Bats more pitch time with Carroll out and Sakho sold. In Giroud however I think they have someone better than both of them.
It really depends from now until then, I think. He has a few weeks now without much competition. If he can perform, he stays in the side, and (IMO) if he stays in the side he will get goals. A decent run of form could see him end the season in double figures, easily.
If, as he says, the reason he wanted to go was because he wanted to play, then playing in between now and the summer will stop him wanting to leave.
I suppose a lot will depend on who our manager is in the summer, but I have a feeling he'll off regardless.
Nothing wrong with the club, he just wants to play.
If he doesn't feel he'll have a good chance to play next season, no reason he wouldn't want to be off, but if we have players and results that mean a player like him can't get in the side, that can only be a good thing, imo.
The issue for me seems to be
if Arnie is more effective than Chicarito up top, Arnie will be first pick and Chicarito, understandably, doesn't want to be 2nd choice.
If Chicarito were our only/main forward, it would make sense to build how we play around him, but if we have options and they are more effective, then it wouldn't.
Who? Chico?
Is that a question for me or Yeold?
He’s hardly ever played in the position in which he made his reputation.
Totally different attitude to Sakho.
