Archer is 99.99% coming back. Likely to be sold again

I really don't see Cam coming back, I think championship is his level to be honest.
Not sure assessing him playing in a Dire Sheff Utd team is a fair indication of his talent.

Could be wrong but I reckon Emery favours the bigger taller striker.

Yeah, I get that impression also...

I think Watkins is about 6'0", Duran is 6'1", Rogers is 6'3"...

I think Cam needs to develop into a wider forward to have any chance of playing for a decent team at this level.

Didn't really seize the opportunity today. Drifted out of the game .

We just don't work with two strikers. It nullifies Watkins as well. It is an instead of sub rather then as well as for those two.

Yep, agreed. He needs to come on and bulldoze a tiring back four for 30 minutes.

Emery had a nightmare today with his team selection and formation. I'd give both Duran and Lenglet a bit of a pass as a result.

Yeah it didnt work today. I think duran started wll but then faded badly and was rightly subbed. Watkins struggles with two up top. We saw that with ings and now duran. Its a failed experiment

Lets not do this again

I can't blame Emery for trying something different while we are so light in midfield. There's no way he would have gone for this team if McGinn or Kamara were available.

I think we will see a few more experiments of the next couple of months.

He tried it, it didn't work and he changed it.
We need to be more awake after HT though, we are sleepwalking from mins 45 - 55 and it's costing us.

Presumably if we do sell we’re not going to get near what Sheff Utd paid.

That Romano chap has stated that Chelsea were never close to signing Duran in January & he was just another name on a list that they discussed the possibility of getting.

Well, thats my nervous fever over with...

Isn't everyone on a Chelsea list?
