Are you expecting us to sign the strikers we need by the time the window slams shut?

Club need to be honest about Murray. Just a knock. Happy if we get one. If out. We need 2. It's the difference between prem and championship football next year.

I'm going to pessimistic and say no. That or we'll bring in one or two duds. We don't have a good track record of bringing in strikers. Most of, if not all, our last minute additions have been total flops.

The problem with the word Quality, is that it is very subjective. Some people might think a player is quality, but then if he doesn't perform well for us, then he's no longer quality.

A bigger problem with the word "quality" is that without qualification it's pretty meaningless. Any player we get in will have "quality" by definition. The more important question is whether he is high quality or low quality, excellent quality or mediocre quality...

It doesn't matter because after a couple of games, 20% of Nsc will decide he is rubbish and we shouldn't have wasted money.

I suspect we'll get Niasse. They went him out and as we get close to the deadline I'm sure a compromise will be found. Wouldn't surprise me if we're in a chain for another striker, waiting for someone to sign a replacement first and I suspect we'll have a few back up plans if it doesn't work out.

I don't think so, I think that the player budget is spent now and that we will work with what we have until the January window, I don't see much happening then either to be honest.
We are going to reply on the midfield scoring goals this season, along with whatever strikers we have.
TB would have been encouraged by the performance against Watford, minus any goals though and expect it to be repeated all season.
I could be wrong though.

Still got the unspent Dwamema money.

I'm normally an optimist about signings but I think we'll get one and it won't be a good match. I think we'll survive, JUST. Striker is just such a blank for our club over the years. Not dreadful just not up to other positions

I predict the club will underwhelm us, there maybe a token rest if season loan, we will get relegated and my biggest fear is that whilst Mr Bloom owns the club, he doesn't run it!!!!

We haven't managed to do so in the last few years, so don't see us managing to do so now. I do hope I am wrong though.

Agree with a lot of this. I'm just a little worried about the player's attitude that we sign. It could work out well although leaving it this late raises the panic buy level.

I think, as well, we'll stay up but it could go to the last game. :eek:

Other than...

2015-16 Hened, fires Albion to 89 points just missing out on promotion on goal difference.

2016-17 Murray does fire Albion to promotion.

...presumably?
