Sorry mods I couldn't see the thread on him.
Lots of rumours today about him coming back in the summer.
I know he is injured loads and we fucked him
but I just utterly adore him.
Anniversary of the blue flare v Chelsea today as well!

Totally not the right move (for us) but would love him back.

Very much a Moyes type of player so could understand us going for him.
Still don't think he's a striker but he'd do a far better job up there than either of our current two if he was fit.
Has managed to play 28 league games this season so maybe his main injury issues are behind him now?
Not completely against it, but not the age, style or profile I'd ideally like for our striker signing. Guess it would depend on the deal.

We need to move forward not backwards. Absolutely love him but he has had his time with us.

For 10-15m maybe. Much more than that would be beyond stupid and very typical of us. We seem to love taking over other teams expensive problems

Would have to be on a free, loan or for very little money. One of my favourite recent players but he can't be a long term part of our plans.

If we end up with him, Branthwaite and Stones in this squad we're going to need more physios.

Let’s get Deulofeu back as well, see if we can fix him and have ourselves a right winger

If we get Deulofeu back, we definitely need to keep Beto.

You’re right about certain clubs and players being a perfect fit, I think if Richy had the same affection with spuds they wouldn’t be in the bottom three.

Not for me. Loved the guy but he is the past. Same as Stones. Look to the future and not base our transfer strategy on nostalgia

He's absolutely cooked physically.
Would be a disastrous decision from the club.

He is completely finished.
