Stu Armstrong and Tella??? Adams?

Right so which of our strikers should be starting and how should we play so they can score loads of goals?

What's the best option then?

Is it still your contention that we don't need to sign another striker and are sorted in that position?

I don't necessarily agree with still but he's said he's been doing that because he doesn't believe he has the players to play his preferred formation. He won't have that problem if we get those players in so no reason to play five at the back.

Johansson Mads THB Stephens Manning Downes Charles Fellows Azaz Robinson Sargent Would win the league. Probably too much to spend all at once so maybe replace fellows with a prem loan but we could do that if we really wanted to.

A thousand times this. Sell Fernandes if we have to for financial reasons. Even if Johannson cost 4 million that feels achievable. Add in perhaps another 10 for Edozie and Aribo so we can get a Fernandes replacement and that's the transfer activity of a team going for the top.

Give me one reason why we aren't looking to ship out one of our strikers and slapping down big money for Sargent? Fellows, Sargent, Azaz, Johannson and a winger on loan would actually all improve us immediately and probably win us the league. We won't though because we lack ambition. We aren't going all out for the league.

Forgot about him so fair enough. Not great though that that's the only two!

Have you heard anything?

Fernandes probably the only player since THB and Downes.

I agree that's how it should be. I'm not sure who we are relying on for goals though if that is the case.

What hysterics? If we don't sign a striker then our one striker signing this summer was the wrong one. It doesn't matter at what point of the window he signed.

Quarshie I can understand considering how many cbs we have it's fine to bring a player in with potential. Up front to just sign a player with potential like downs is madness if we get no one else in. It's a huge gamble from Still to think that with better service one of our strikers will be able to score regularly when they aren't showing any signs so far.

I'm fully aware thanks. What we needed were players ready to start and improve the team immediately. Like last time when we signed THB and Downes.

We will sign a GK.

It's not though is it. They could go on and be productive but they aren't good enough right now which is what is costing us points.

I'd be pretty disappointed with that. We'd be lacking in the wide areas.

It's possible that a couple will be loans. I'd expect 4 at the very least.

How many in then do you reckon? My guess is five: GK Winger on loan Fernandes replacement DM Another wide man

Nothing we can do about what's happened in this window so far. It's getting a bit late to be hanging around waiting for players. Hard cash down this week and we have to bring these players in with no messing about.

@Lighthousealso thinks they are more than good enough for this division. Jo Tessem certainly doesn't think so and I agree quite frankly.

I get not signing too many whilst we have so many players. That makes sense to me but the striker we got needed to be at least as good as Adams in this division. Signing Downs is just bizarre and it feels like the most critical signing for us this season to have a consistent striker in the championship is of utmost importance.

I know it's early but I really struggle to understand why we have bought Quarshie and Downs. Neither of them have improved the team and are simply players with potential for the future. Most assumed that Quarshie at least would be a fringe player at best while he learnt the ropes. I thought we were going to use some financial muscle to bring some of the best players in, this division to our team. We finished bottom last year and have so far brought in two average squad players. Our lack of transfer activity cost us today and it's lost us points so I'm pretty annoyed about it to be honest. Spors has been bloody underwhelming so far he better get some amazing signings in the next week, particularly because Fernandes is likely off.

I haven't checked by I expect most of mine are laughing at soggy.
