We could have signed Bowen and everyone would have said we’re much stronger and he could have turned out to have been useless for us. Sometimes players should never leave their clubs. I thought we were much better and stronger with the signing of Nketiah and Costa but their performances for us and the contribution they made was miles behind my own expectation.
Costa May be a different animal with Kevin in the side
 
The way I look at it, Poveda is the replacement for Clarke who was bang out of form and who earned us £10m a punt but a very good one to take.

Norwich got Pukki on a free, there are some gems out there, I’m happy we’ve gone for the two we have as I really didn’t want Gray or Adams for the fees being branded about.

We have Costa, Pablo, Harrison, Dallas and Alioski who can play out wide, if Poveda dislodges one and earns a place it’s a big bonus, I’m more excited about Augustin, having him able to come on from the bench and replace Bamford has got to be better than having nobody

He might play Bamford as well because even if he hasn't been scoring he had been doing a lot of work. He just needs an Allan Clarke by his side

Costa seems to be getting some hammer on here this month. I thought he was improving as time went by. Granted he hasn't set the league on fire but he has added a bit of pace and trickery to the flank. With Harrison on the other wing the opposition usually spread themselves quite thinly to cover both flanks. Got a couple of goals and assists too. He's getting there.

I also think Douglas is getting there. The bugger just needs to keep fit for more than two games.

Hopefully the new striker can spearhead our attack and we can convert a few more chances.

Where the f**k is Forshaw? He was friggin awesome at the beginning of the season and I think Klich needs him in there to release him a bit more. Stick a new hip on him. The wife's Gran got a new one and she can get the bus and all sorts now. He can't be on the NHS waiting list.
 
Anything's better than a puppy that rolls over to get its tum tickled at the drop of a hat! :)

I'd think Costa's place is under most threat from the Poveda signing. if the reports I read were accurate he basically told Pep to do one because he got pushed back to their U23s, so if he thought he was good enough to get ahead of Sterling, Mahrez etc. I doubt he's come here to sit in our reserves.
