I'd just like us to be in a position where we can find someone who can hit the ground running like that - our striker signings though get found out for very different reasons.
Gabbiadini certainly looks good at the minute, but his record in the past seems to indicate this is a purple patch of form. I'll be interested to see how he does going forward.
I also wonder what this means for Charlie Austin? I'd have him here in a heartbeat personally.

Gabbiadini reminds me of Berbatov. Good positioning can turn well, not the fastest but makes up for it in other ways.
Mirror says Chelsea to bin off Batshuayi... As we nearly got him in the Summer maybe we'll go back for him ;hmm He and AC upfront would be a handful! Or two handfuls ;hmm Or one handful when AC is injured after 2.5 games ;weep
I certainly hope we will be in for him. Him, Sakho and Carroll would be a very good pool of strikers to choose from (assuming the latter two stay fit – I know, I heard it…)
Who would we rather have - Batman or Sturridge, whose imminent departure from Liverpool also continues to feature heavily in the rumours? I'd go for the latter, as he's a proven 13+ goals per season PL player, and could play with and without AC. But I admit to not having seen much of Batman.
I suppose a better question would have been Batman or Robin (van Persie). Take your pick.
I quite like Sturridge as a player but don't think we can afford another injury prone striker. I think Batshuayi is probably the best we can hope for: we don't have much chance of landing anyone more proven.
Has he done enough to get a move to a top club? I agree with OCS that regular playing time is more important at this time, and that puts us in the frame.

According to this Man U are scouting him ;hmm
If its correct that we tried for him in January, perhaps thats why we didnt buy another RB (if St Etienne were ok with him going to us in the Summer)

I don't think they will be at west ham next season imo .
Its a shame we all know how good Andy can be with a run of games but always gets injured that will always happen he's just built wrong .
