    rodgers will be sacked by then... thats the issue IMO....

    if he has ings and origi until sturrdige gets back and then a month later just those two.... he's in trouble.

    there's plenty of guys but the going rate is 40mil and up. reality check.. but that doesn't excuse playing 32.5 for benteke either which imo is just a bit over the odds.

    Lukaku scored more goals for West Brom than Origi has in his entire senior club career to date

    Lukaku 94 senior club goals

    Origi 16

    TBH I'd rather sell Lambert than Balotelli

    Break it down into any form you like, league, cup, European, international, whichever

    The facts will always remain the same, he's not fit to lace Lukaku's boots, but you do tend to get what you pay for.

    Oh wait, you buck that trend, oh well....<laugh>

    I am.

    There is no scenario other than massive injury list in which Lambert should be playing. If we are comforable or playing a weakened side then Origi should be getting experience.

    If we need to make a sub to hold onto a lead no one protects possession better than Balotelli.

    We won't get our money back on Balotelli anyway so better to make a profit on Lambert and keep a player with a purpose than make losses on Lambert and Balotelli and have no on-field asset to show for it.

  13. Both are ****. Neither should stay. We won't get much money for either. However, one is on a much larger and expensive contract and the other (non-Italian) actually tries when played.

    If Lukaku is go good you have to wonder how he'd do at a big club...

    Anyway... not many strikers stand out right now that are vaguely realistic apart from Lacazette. At the start of summer... Dybala maybe.

    Balotelli has too much arrogance in himself to leave off the season he just had. He will either play well this season or do something really stupid so we have to sell him.

    He's only looking at a return to Serie A otherwise, and even then it won't be a decent team.

    The thing is that we cannot even flog balotelli on loan. Nor could we give him away on a free. Other clubs will be too scared to have their team spirit or cohesion destroyed.

    I can imagine the celebrations in his Italian club when Rodgers paid £16MILLION for him. That alone should have got Rodgers the sack. His presence at the club must constantly remind everyone of Rodgers genius.
