    Rafa - Joselu

    “I think Joselu is doing a lot of things right.

    “He is doing a great job for the team and he is making the rest of our team feel more comfortable.

    “If you want to sign a striker who’ll score 20 goals, you must pay £40m.

    “If you sign an average striker, it’s £15m, or £10m if they can kick it forward.

    “We didn’t do it. That’s the situation we’re in.


    Talk about laying into him - a striker who can't kick it forward basically and the board for not funding what we needed.

    I know people will say well he had money but he spent it on Murphy, i remain convinced he was expecting to be allowed to spend more otherwise that money would have gone on a striker.

    Having said this, I could see him not starting against Baggies. . . actually who am i kidding but still.

    Joselu was 5 million, for that you get a striker who can kick it sideways.

    Tbh, for £5 mil you get a striker who miskicks in front of goal.

    Suggest you point that out to Rafa. I'd imagine he'd give you a quizzical look.
