Divock Origi

[Alex]

Sending him back on loan to Lille this season is starting to look a really ****ing shoddy decision.

We'd have had to pay twice the price, and all that would have happened is that he got lost in the mix and blamed for not being the answer.

Get him a season more experience and bring him here a better player all round.

Doing so was the reason they agreed to sell him to us (over other teams), suggesting they may not have done otherwise.

Of course I'm sure we could have thrown more money at them but then people would have complained that we were spending too much on unproven talent so I'm not sure there was any other way on this one.

Fair points guys. Just so frustrated and actually annoyed at our current predicament. Did Luis really make these players look that good last season because nearly to a man they are a shadow of last seasons players.

Aye, there is a lot to be frustrated by with the team at the moment. I'm convinced things will pick up sooner rather than later though because I'm an eternal optimist

Origi vs Everton

Not bad. I'm always impressed by his pace, control and skill. He's very direct. He's defintely a good fit for us.

Easy to forget he's six months younger than Raheem Sterling and a year and a half younger than Ross Barkley!

As for a poor choice to loan him there? I don't think we had any choice in the matter at all. Lille wouldn't have sold to us without that condition in place. They were very clear about that.

I was pretty happy when we got him, though frustrated we had to loan him for the season. While I dont believe he'll score a hat full of goals, I think he'll be an excellent assist machine for Sturridge. Those two will work well together.

It's like scouting.

This Div has been **** so far.

Origi is nowhere near ready to play for us in the premier league yet.. we're just desperate is all.

Absolutely - there was a reason we were happy to have him stay at Lille for one more season. We're probably lucky he wasn't here this season and as he may have lost some confidence playing in this team so far. Or it could just be Lille are a bit **** and have dragged him down. They are so defensive even in Ligue 1!

We have a new scapegoat. Or is it escaped goat ?

lille never created any opportunities for their forward players to get their teeth into. From what i saw every time origi got the ball he looked good but some of the other lads arent on his wavelength.

he just didnt get enough 1v1 opportunities to show what he can do. If markovic can get a game for us, then origi definitely can.
