I think DM stating Rice could leave in the summer says it all by not saying Rice doesn't want to move or he has no intention of selling, but of course it will all hang on us retaining Premiership status? According to D Mail possible team tomorrow, no Haller included which I am delighted about, another Arnie, hope it's the beginning of the end for him, no good playing with 10 men from the start against any team, let alone City! âš’âš’âš’âš’.

Haller is as good as the service he gets. The German League is competitive and he scored a shed load there. If we are never going to play with at least two up front, then we are never going to get the best out of him.

I entirely agree with the two up front system, unless the one up is a battler and bruiser like Antonio, Deeney, Mitrovic then it’s a waste of time, Haller is to lightweight for me, he falls down at the slightest impact, to weak for the Premiership imo! Good example to me of why it’s a dangerous risk to pay ridiculous £millions on untried Premiership players, a good pointer to me was why wasn’t he snapped up by a top 6 club, sorry to be so negative about him Markro but for £45m wow, I would at least expect some effort on the field, MP was just trying to impress the supporters spending the clubs money! ⚒⚒⚒.

I think it may be that if Moyse starts both Haller and Bowen, Haller will become more of a provider like he was for Jovic. Bowen is very direct and shoots from anywhere with either foot.

With his recent injury record, I can’t see Antonio playing a whole game - Moyse might use him as an impact sub.

Alternatively, start with Antonio/ Bowen up front and bring on Haller as an aerial threat and provider when Antonio tires.

If Yarmolenko and Anderson are available soon and Antonio stays free of injury, we do have pretty good attacking options now.

Agree on paper we have good attacking options Mark, the big question is when injury free🤭😮⚒⚒⚒ Be interesting tomorrow to say the least but nothing else in my mind but getting nothing, so can’t get worse other than a hatful of goals against us😮At least no Sterling but they’re reserves could beat us anyway! ⚒⚒⚒.

I don’t expect to win either, Chelms, but Citeh have had a strange season and conceded more goals at home this season than for the last two seasons combined.

Stranger things have happened at sea!

Yeh I agree as well Mark, let’s hope this turns out the strangest ever in our favour on dry land this season, at least it should the put us first on MOTD2 although we will be on second at least, gaurenteed😂🤣⚒⚒⚒⚒⚒.

Hiya Chelmsford don't want to sound confrontational but HALLER has been brought up playing in a foreign country where unfortunately that's what majority of players do I really believe you are judging him far too early and to compare him to ARNAUTOVIC is well wide of the mark it is about opinions mate but look at players like SALAH, DE BRUYNE, HENRY didn't exactly light up the premiership when they first came especially the first 2 named we need to dig deep and I really believe HALLER has been shocked hiw hard the premier league is and FORNALS but both have massive potential and if we stay up then I'm sure we will see this. COYI.

I agree Whorya I tend to be very impatient especially at £45m, the difference with the players you mentioned was, they were surrounded by other great players, the sides were not lingering in the lower levels so the manager was able to be patient for them to integrate, we need them to hit the ground running, we needed help immediately and still do so don’t have the time to spare unfortunately! ⚒⚒⚒⚒.

You don't turn in to a very good player in Germany to useless in 4 months at his age IMO DE BRUYNE was deemed useless at Chelsea couldn't play two consecutive games same with salah they were shipped out by Chelsea mate how bad was that judgement was and for me talent wise DE BRUYNE is behind only MESSI and RONALDO as the best player in the world if only Chelsea would have been patient they let go €300-350 million in today's market for the 2 I understand we haven't got time but I guarantee you HALLER was told he'd play in a front 2 or 3 and if we done our homework properly which we clearly haven't HALLER isn't use to being the lone man I'm not saying in the future he could play up top on his jack but he clearly isn't a CARROLL a big lump and a target man he's a footballer look at his few goals they have a touch of class and stats wise he was the 2nd best striker behind LEWANDOSKI and there is some very useful strikers in the bundesliga Chelmsford . COYI.

Haller in a decent team would be prolific, if he gets service he buries them!
We need to look at the Andersen’s, Wilshere, Yarmolenko s of the team, none of them are interested in the shirt.
Why we not trying Bowen, silva and Antonio up front, all we hear is how good dander silva is so let’s play him and see what he’s about, bring haller on for the last 30 mins or so if needed.
I think it’s a shame that Reid has never got a look in this season as he would given his all, Diop and balbuena just not up to premier league, balbuena miles to slow and cannot read the game and Diop is too often caught out of position or diving in.
