tbf Aspas is looking like one too.

I don't think you can include Aspas in that list - he was always going to be a squad player, and it would be basically impossible to break into our attacking lineup this year. He only has one goal and one assist, but he's not had that many appearances and most of those as substitutes. He showed a bit of promise in preseason also, for whatever that is worth.

Overall, I think he'll work out as a decent covering player - he's only a bad investment when you consider his relative cost to someone like Sturridge.

Maybe I'm just an optimist though, I still think Borini will come good too.

Call me old fashioned but if you are wearing a number between 1-11 you should be expected to be at worst be a borderline starter.

I didn't even know that this was the case :D

Benteke has torn his achilles tendon and will miss the rest of the season and the world cup :(

That's a real shame. I was hoping to see how far a full-strength Belgian team would get. Although would Benteke even be their first choice striker over Lukaku now? Or do they commonly play two up front?

Ramires is likely to be suspended.
