Hope it don’t mean Surridge is off

This guy will completely change our game up front.

Nottingham's dirty secret
He has always been in no-mans land there, not good enough to be a starter for them but always good enough to be in the managers thoughts. It's almost like they never let him go because they know he could be so good. Kind of similar to how Origi was at Liverpool.
Agreed.

I mean....25 in 45 for Belgium is INSANE.

A loan then. I know it would be a risk but I would almost want to take him on a perm to try and give him a proper home - even though he's out of contract next season.
Paul Taylor says it "is expected to be a loan move" but I'm not so sure. He's out of contract next summer.

I thought he was going to be massive at one point. As it is 25 in 45 for Belgium says he's a great striker but at club level he's had a couple of disappointing seasons and has become nomadic.

It would be another incredible signing.

When you think Batshuayi has been behind Belgium's all time record goalscorer Lukaku all those years and still managed those figures for Belgium.

3rd best goal to games ratio for Belgium. 9th in their all-time top scorers list.

Someone mentioned Origi earlier. I think he's much better than him. 32 games and 3 goals for Origi suggests that.

Is there another hidden benefit here in that he will have played with Mangala in the Belgium set up before?

Or have I got that horribly wrong?

I think he's brilliant.

International striker who has similar bullish physical qualities of Davis, and has scored plenty of goals wherever he's been.

This would be like signing Davis but at an even better level.
I can't recall him holding the ball up like Davies. Might be wrong as I'm pissed on Malbec.

Marauding, hustling and poaching yes.

If Chelsea are covering a percentage of his wages might be worth a punt. If my memory of him is intact he always looked a bit senseless in games. Might be our new Jason Lee though so, for that reason, I'm in.

That's as I thought I had it, though it's been that long since he broke through (and I last saw him regularly) that I've forgotten what I liked about him!

I doubt it. Mangala has only made 2 sub appearances for Belgium and in one of them Batshauyi had already gone off. Played 8 mins together if my maths is correct.
