Given Conte's desires for a big CF and Giroud's desire to move on, it's a transfer so logical that I'm surprised that it didn't happen on January 1st.
Maybe it’s not as simple as pressing select and enter on a keyboard as some give the impression that’s what it’s like (not you, btw)
WBA complete signing of Sturridge on loan. Barcelona have confirmed that they have reached an agreement with Watford for the loan of Gerard Deulofeu until the end of the season
If I'm a supporter of any of the three promoted sides, I'm looking around and really worrying. A pivotal last 48 hours for all 11 of us.
I mostly mean that Giroud was rumoured to go to just about every club in the world save Chelsea, while Chelsea was rumoured to be after every big striker in the world save Giroud. In retrospect it's the most obvious move of the window for all parties involved.
We do seem to have a record of doing well if they are sub £12ish million but when they are £13m + we seem to balls it up
West Brom is gonna be tougher than it was originally with their form, Jay Rod and Robdon playing well and now signing Sturridge. Massive two games coming up. 4 points minimum needed.
I'd include Gaston. He wasn't really a roaring success but the Lawrenson effect was well worth it, and it signaled ambition.
