Get him back to Goodison, he would probably score a goal before Rondon......

I would totally play him up front while DCL is out. The new Steve Watson.

For some reason this reminds me of an office Pool tournament I entered many years ago. In the first round I was drawn against a woman who by her own admission had never picked up a pool cue in her life and only entered for a laugh. I just knew that I'd find a way to lose. True enough I put the white down with the black while she still had at least five balls left on the table. I didn't hear the end of it; it's just as well I can laugh at myself otherwise I'd have fucking glassed someone by the end of the evening.

This is my theory with Hibbo up-front (or "anyone but Rondon" up-front) - in the derby van Dijk would be on a hiding to nothing, it would seem so easy to him that it would fuck with his head. He would score two oggies while under pressure from Hibbo, leading us to a memorable 5-4 victory (Hibbo bags the other three with Virgil left in various states of "on his arse" for all three. The Shite immediately re-sign Sakho on loan as cover for a mentally-shellshocked van Dijk for the rest of the season.)

I put it to you that this is genuinely our best way of beating the Shite. It might sound a little far-fetched but if the alternative is Rondon up-front then it's worth it for the craic more than anything. Make it happen Marcel.

I don't suppose the woman who beat you at pool has a pair of boots handy?
