Genuinely can't believe we have left it this late into the window to get a striker considering what happened this time last year
On the one hand I agree, but in the other we have May, Miles, Aneke, and Kanu, plus CBT, Campbell, and Campbell. Obviously one big problem with this squad is how they fit together, but I feel like we have a lot of attacking players.
Out of those only May, Kanu, Leaburn & Aneke are strikers. The last 2 aren't currently fit and if you are thinking of relying on Aneke to be a part of your matchday squad anytime soon then think again.
At 3pm tomorrow we currently have just 2 fit strikers......still.
True, but if we want to play 4-3-3 I think two fit up front is fine given that after the international break Miles will probably be ready to be in the squad. We shouldn't sign a player for one game especially given that any player signed at this point can't play tomorrow anyway.
Agree about Aneke, but he is still taking up space on the wage bill.
A League One team having five out and out strikers who can pretty much only play striker must be incredibly rare. Especially given the other attacking talent we have.
Yes, I hope we get another striker in that allows Kanu to go out in loan. But I also get that it's a lot of squad places and money on one position who we can play, at a max, two.
Do we want to play 4-3-3? Has that come from somewhere
Feeling the same. Not the quality we required. Would’ve felt much better if we were signing Ladapo but can see him going to Derby now and link back up with Warne.
That’s the difference in quality. We get youngsters on loan who have a lot to learn, others sign players who have been there and done it, more than once.
Love it, sign players the club deem suitable and people are pissed. Let’s give them a bloody chance to get the shirt on. Mcgrandles in my opinion hasn’t had a proper shot yet. A handful of sub appearances and few starts but we’ve written him off.
Can see the profile we are singing on perms. Generally happy with those. Loans are always a gamble. We aren’t going to get instant promotion with this squad, but for a base to build in 2/3 years I think we have the right players.

Doesn't strike me as a Bowyer type of player and he left for Birmingham a few weeks later.
Tedic is a Stirker which is so disappointing as I was hoping we were after a central Striker 🙄
