Will Lankshear

He's got 3 goals in 5 games. Pretty decent so far. I still think he'll be sold next summer, unless he has some monster season. Even then, another loan (hopefully PL this time) is more likely. He won't get into our squad anytime soon, so the more he plays the better.

I think he's got as much chance as Moore and Donley of making it. Gray and Vuskovic are the nearest we have to sure things, but I'd put that other trio not far behind them. Lankshear reminds me a lot of Kane - his physicality alongside his killer instinct will bear him in very good stead.
 
Or he could become one of our main two or three CFs. Neither Solanke or Richy are commanding the position or likely to be here long-term. Just like Kane did with Ade and Soldado.
It is too premature to suggest that Solanke will not be here long term. Although I wonder why break so many players. Solanke did not have these injury problems before he signed for us, and that seem to be a common occurrence these days.
 
He has also scored those goals while Oxford are down in 22nd at the moment.

They should have beaten Leicester though. But hopefully he continues to take his chances this season.

That's all on Ange for me.

I mainly meant not long-term as he's 28 now, so probably got around 3 seasons left at the top.

Potentially there's a scenario in 12 months that we back Muani to be our first choice, while reviewing Lankshear and Tel for the back-up roles. Richy would probably go before Solanke, but at this point in time I guess it could be any 2/3 from those 5 who we go forward with after this season.

yeah, Solanke's contract finishes 3 years after Richi's. That will probably be the defining factor.
