And potentially drop out of the division when all the players values will drop.

You can dress it up in lots of different ways the fact is we have not been able to strengthen the one area that has drastically needed strengthening in 5 season with either poor signings or the inability to sign anyone to add competition to the current squad. I would say only Welbeck is really...

100% To go into the season with a weaker forward line than when starting when it was already an area of concern seems like pure folly,

You would hope so!

White is a very good player however selling him and signing a centre forward with some of the money would make sense and would more of an affect on where we finish this season. We also have lauded defenders coming through the system so selling White for a maxed out price was a good decision if...

As it stands a 4. Managed to keep hold of Bissouma and got a good price for White who wasn't key. Cucurella looks like he will add more balance and options. However we have again failed to strengthen the area that most needed strengthening and now have less cover than before. The failure to...

Sorry all excuses to me, all reason we cant never what we can do. Not all players are on that money, what's Lallana being paid and Welbeck? Wont be peanuts.

I'm not, just highlighting how poor we are with the forwards we have.

£20m 10 goal striker would be nice

Jurgen - 6 in 34 appearances in all competitions (3 in prem) Connolly - 6 in 47 appearances in all competitions (5 in prem) How depressing even more so when you look at who's in front of them (glass made Welbeck excluded) Maupay - 20 in 73 appearances It really is amazing that this is what...

Fantastic who's incoming? :lolol: or maybe Duffy is going to be the new target man :lolol:

We haven't scored many from midfield in the last two seasons so I would suggest that trend would continue (I hope it doesn't obviously). Connolly is not good enough IMHO

I don't disagree, at the moment another who could get 8 would be useful :-)

However the evidence suggest this will not be the case. If Maupay is injured for 6 games and Welbeck isn't fit who leads the line?

Maupay 8 Welbeck 6 Connolly 2 Trossard 5 Trossard likely to do the same maybe even a bit better, Welbeck could do but could also be injured most of time and Maupay will get the same again. We need another striker of Maupay's level to give us a chance to move up the table or even...

If they cant find and sign a striker better than Aaron Connolly then they have massively failed whether they know they have failed or not. They have had a long time to get this sorted and identify targets who are within our means. We can only hope all the squad clearing is to allow for a new...

I know where we sit in food chain and I would be happy with someone who will get 5-10 goals a season to go with Maupay and Welbeck. Many of us don't expect a super star just someone competitive enough to be around the first team and better than Aaron Connolly.

Those employed at the club to identify and sign players are aware of all the issues, if they are unable to sign a player with more experience or better than Aaron Connolly then they have failed massively. Injury to Maupay or massive loss of form will almost certainly put us around the bottom...

I don't mind Maupay the issue is we don't really have another credible striker who will be available to play a full part in the season. Welbeck will be a wild card again this season if he goes injury free for long enough and gets sharp we may get what we did last season but this is again an if...

To not sign a viable first team challenger up front would be nuts! Welbeck will be in out out with injuries/not match for spells of the season and if Maupay gets injured we are knackered! Also both players need someone who will challenge them to get the best out of the group. Connolly has...
