Batshuayi is a very similar player to tammy from what i have seen. He is strong big and can score. Think that might be one of the reasons chelsea would let him go.

Get him on loan with option to buy in summer.  He did very well at palace last year.

Do we really want to sign a player with a surname that difficult to spell correctly? Some of our fans had enough trouble with Kozak. 

Kozak? People couldn't get Ciaran Clarke right

Don't want to pee on anyone's chips, but from what I've read from Chelsea fans he offers very little outside of the box, gets caught offside a lot. He is a good finisher though, so if we create chances for him it could work out.

They’re also the club that let Mo Salah and Kevin de Bruyne leave.

agreed. I don't think anyone thinks he's the world's best (he'd be playing if he was). What he does do, though, is score goals. with Wesley a cropper I think we need 2 strikers (or one and another that can play wider). we should go for Batshuayi on loan but then another guy who's more physical. it would be quite a big change in style of play (Wesley's faults aside) to not have a big target man which might be a bit risky at this stage if it takes any time for the rest of the team to get up to speed. Someone in before Citeh is a must though

They didn't rate Tammy very highly at one point. Not just the fans, the club also. We'd have got him if they weren't forced to keep him and play him. Like anything let's see what happens if he comes here, but he's got talent and ability. It's up to us then to get it out of him.

I'm not saying he's awful, just wondering if he's suited to our way of playing. We may be better with Giroud for half a season.

Why not both?
With Wes being out for the season we need someone in asap and up to speed. Add in another backup striker, get rid of Kodjia and get a creative midfielder in as well. When is Davis back fit?
