Don't think sending him out on loan again is necessarily a bad move. He's talented but there's more he needs to learn based on my observations of him at the WC. He doesn't get in the box enough and hasn't got that striker's instinct about him just yet. MS noted it yesterday in the match thread, but he also does a good play like a mazy run but then stops and admires his work instead of busting a gut to get onto the end of his move. I wouldn't mind seeing a Martinez, a Koeman or even Pulis work with him next season. As long as it's PL and not some pub team league in Eastern Europe ....... which should be achievable as he's made a name for himself at the WC and would have suitors.

What it does mean is that we need to get some cover for that position. We can't go into another season with Sanogo as the only out and out striker capable of filling in for Giroud.
