Don't think so
It is a concern. Even if CMS has a good season we need backup, and if CMS doesn't gel with our style then we need a 20 goal striker.
I suppose we have enough wingers if Cardiff were still after one, if that meant we had money to spend on a striker. Otherwise, apart from a CMS swap deal, I can't see us losing anyone from the starting 11.
Prepare to be underwhelmed.

I would not be underwhelmed with no more signings.
Happy just to watch Koosak, Bruno & Bridge every week.
Would like to see us strengthen the backup squad players at some point.
I just hope we don't panic sign the equivalent of Paynter/Vokes.
I'm hoping Koosak will make dull viewing, as he'll just be standing there. We have made some great signings over the summer and it will be great to watch the team we have. The problem is, some other Championship squads are much stronger than ours, and we'll struggle to fight for 6th place. Top 10 is respectable, but I'd like more, and feel we need another good striker.

I would be disappointed if we didn't sign the god like striker that we need, however, I would sooner sign no one and keep our top players, then sign a striker but lose someone such as Bridcutt or Buckley.
I think all in all it has been a successful transfer window, especially the 2 new fullbacks. No one expected the quality of Bridge to come in when people were saying we needed a new LB!

I'd like to think we are only interested in quality not quantity. A lot of other championship clubs have been buying from our league, whereas our signings have all been from outside the championship. I think this quality will make a huge difference this season. I agree that another striker is imperative but not any old discard please.
Our keeper and wing backs are quality, but we're talking here about strikers. Ours have come from league 1, and haven't yet shown the quality of the strikers in the top teams in our division, many of whom have played in the premier league.
I hope that Tony Bloom recognises this too.
Personally I trust Tony Bloom to do what's right for the club. After all of his outlay, if he decides there's not enough money for the player Gus wants, the. So be it. It's such a tough division this year that nothing would be guaranteed anyway so no point breaking the bank.

If we do sign anybody they will be a quality player , not a journeyman or mediocre wannabe.

TB also faces the dilemma of knowing next season there will be another 3 relegated clubs with parachute payments looking to go straight back up to the Prem.

My mate at the East Bothwell Express told me we're after someone from Celtic. Samaras?

I have a question about parachute payments.
Say, Wolves for instance, who get their PP this season, get promoted straight back to the Prem and then immediately relegated again. Do they keep getting PP or is there a limit? I was just thinking any club who yo-yo between the top 2 must be coining it in

No, the payments they would have been given get spread between all the other clubs.

That's probably the business plan of the Ewood chicken stranglers
