Theres a difference between not being able to afford and not being prepared to pay what they want.31

True, but if we're not willing to pay £500k for an in-form striker then I'm not sure we'll be looking to go in for a player who originally cost 30 times that and is on £38,000 a week. Bournemouth would have to be very bloody grateful for us giving them those extra seats a few years ago to cut the price down to a point where we would be looking at him seriously

I think what we need in order of priority is:
- Striker to replace Taylor.
- midfielder in the Cullen mould. One who can keep us ticking over we've lost Kayal so have a gap here. Mowatt?
- Striker 2 extra body to alow for injuries and allow us to use Green in a different way
- Creative x factor midfielder. Someone like Maddison who if the opportunity to sign came up it would be stupid not to pursue.
- Utility defender like the Shef United guy.2 -
Very loose rumour as we're not mentioned but Sky are reporting that Wigan are happy to let Devante Cole leave this window
Out of Contract in the summer; Hull and Luton are the two clubs that are named1 -

This aged well

You can be rude if you want (I won't criticise your spelling of Green), but one on top of Bonne, Aneke, Hemed, Gnanduillet and Green does indeed make 6. Aneke isn't a striker but he can definitely play there. We have had 2 players for every position plus Aneke as the 23rd squad member.
It's just my opinion that we won't have anymore than the above numbers.

The only other option is we're getting someone else to play on the other flank (Maddison perhaps?) but then we dont have the depth to continue with the formation should we get injuries
Nor would it have made sense freezing out Fosu as that sort of formation would have suited him just fine1 -

Terminology for attackers is a bit confusing now most teams don't play pure 442.
Indeed Fantasy Football shows this as Sterling, Salah, Mane, Richarlison and Son are all classified as midfielders, despite being attacking players who score lots of goals.

We could be changing formation which is fair enough. I am not reading too much into links with Ibe or Maddison but if we were to sign one of them or similar then I would imagine that could be the case.

I think Saturday and maybe Preston is a write off, whatever way you look at it we have short term issues. Unless a couple rabbits are pulled out the hat today.2

If all of this is true regarding Gnanduillet, then I reckon Murray on loan would be the best immediate option (Glen....Not Richard). Experienced and probably be the right foil for Bonne/Greene

Given this, it's hard to see Green playing anywhere other than as a striker.

Maddison is the one that confuses me most and is why I'd be surprised if we signed him over anyone else from Peterborough - He's primarily an old fashioned winger, isnt someone who can play up top, nor do I see him in the No.10 role
Only way I could see him playing is in the role that we've seen Doughty occupying at present
But then again your playing 3-5-2 which means you can only play three central midfielders - One of Cullen | Williams | Pratley | Gallagher would have to miss out (provided that all remain fit for the rest of the season)
Ultimately would Maddison be happy to join us knowing he's not going to be playing first choice in those conditions?0 -

A worrying trend at the moment as there's no sign of cafc spending on a tested Championship player or even on Toney or even Tammy Abraham's doppelganger at lowly Blackpool.
Stay chill say the optimists but a dangerous game if you don't pay the going rate.
Still a very difficult job that Steve Gallen has, even more difficult if he has to find a replacement for Taylor on a league 1 wage?3 -

Else West Brom fans could be asking the same about why they're going after a Charlton striker with their team in 19th
A good number of the signings that made up the League One winning team were signed from clubs beneath us, bet a lot of people questioned why we were going after Matt Taylor or Dale Stephens (I certainly thought that Dale being from Oldham would be nothing more than a fringe player to your likes of Mikel Alonso)
Same with Alex Mowatt, or Gnanduillet (If the move were back on) I'd just hope that the Management / Scouting team have done enough of a job to see the attributes that can improve us
After all as we proved with Michael Morrison when we signed him from Sheffield Wednesday, one club might not care but doesnt mean that the same player is going to be a failure at his new team0 -
One's salary expectations would dwarf what we would pay and he seems a player happy to pick up the cash for little to no effort and missing the work ethic. Massive no on him.0

can't afford them to be write offs, lose both and with no game the following week we are likely to then play Barnsley with us in the bottom three and them above us ….0 -
the only thing i'm taking from Bowyers interview with SLP is this: “Lyle wants me to sign a new contract."
Why would Lyle want him to if Lyle intends to piss off? the drama continues!6 -

Only two games being played on the Saturday in the League (Stoke v Swansea being one of them)
Oddly though unlike Charlton it looks like others have been re-arranged as Barnsley are at home against Preston the Tuesday after the latter play us
Is quite frustrating actually as looking at the fixture list between now and the end of the month there is only one game we should really be fearful of which is Barnsley v Huddersfield (this Saturday), every other fixture is pretty much top half v bottom half so hopefully everything goes to form1 -

Hull (as a place) was nicer than I expected too2 -
