Question is
Would piazon, Atsu, hazard Jnr actually get near out side at the moment
I think all were bought with re sale value in mind
Id live costa or cavani both would make a real difference I think we should sell lukaku I don't see him wanting to come back to fight for his place when he could go anywhere else and be a starter
Particularly as Jose hinted at a big cf signing
I also think luiz will be sold

Does Ake not count as home grown?

A few points having read some people’s suggested squads:
We need three specialised strikers, none of this two strikers nonsense even if we do have versatile players who could come in. Torres and Lukaku as our only strikers particularly is madness, Torres isn’t good enough and Lukaku while he brings much is not a player we can rely on, Eto’o first goal against Arsenal, can you really see Lukaku doing that? No. His build up play is way off, he can even get the weight right on a basic slid ball.
Chalobah – for all his promise is a long way off, he needs to get his head down, work hard and concentrate on putting all that talent he showcased at junior level to a real and consistent impact at senior level. He has shown glimpse but is not yet worthy of a place and I believe it would hinder his development, he’s got a lot of maturing to do and needs to play regularly against men and rise to it.
Unless we bring someone in we should keep one of Mikel or Romeu, neither are first team starters but we need to keep a specialist DM in the squad as backup. We have Matic who can operate as a DM but in Luiz and Ramires we don’t have true DMs, it is essential to have that player on the bench to call upon even if they are used sparingly.

CFC Steve said that we need another Belletti
But the club rules have changed about getting an older experienced player.
Can't see Luiz really wanting to be a bench man in the prime of his career

Just having Matic back makes it feel like our midfield is finally sorted

I'd be happy for Mikel to go and Romeu come back.
