Oi! What's Gloucester got to do with it? What's Gloucester done to deserve being linked with this Bender feller?

That is my concern that we have a left back situation again but up front. As I have said he wouldnt be my first choice but he would be better than nobody I would have thought, or perhaps not.
Well if - and it's a big if - both Hemed and Murray get injured or sent off on Saturday against Brentford we'll just have to make do and mend for part of the game. Manu, one of the wingers, or somebody from the U23s will have to step in until Baldock can return for the next game. It's not like we're taking to the field with great gaps in our defence, and our team has pretty much got goals all through it.
It certainly doesn't make any sense to buy a dubious has been who will cost a lot of money on the off-chance we might be a bit short up front against Brentford.

It is nailed on that we are going to have this happen during the season. Let's hope the club can have a January transfer window to match last year because we are not gong up with just three strikers...imo

I will agree that our recruitment team have made few mistakes with the first team of late. However our under 21 s have it seems not had such success.There is not one striker that CH can call on.In fact Messrs Hambo/Harper etc are further away from the first team than ever.

Not seen such Bravery!
There's no one who can step up from the U23s as a striker so we just have to have blind faith in Elvis if a couple of first pick strikers get crocked.
The worry for Saturday is two strikers simultaneously becoming unavailable; it's a risk, but not that bad a risk. After that, the chances of three getting nobbled all at the same time is much less likely. I'm sure the club will be going hell for leather to recruit another striker (or a number 10) in January.
But one thing I'm very sure of is that in January we need to get somebody in who's better than what we've got - at the very, very least they've got to be better than Elvis. Just getting in a body for the sake of it would be pointless.
We can fairly safely say the reason the team is short of strikers is because there wasn't any 'value' in the strikers available.
Worryingly they'll be even less 'value' in January.

Conspicuous by there respective absences. Can see both being given released end of this season
There isn't even a fit U23 striker at all, is there? They seem to be playing without anyone up front from what I have seen.

Jack Harper can play the number 10 role from what I have seen. I have no idea why he's not been tried out on the EFL cup games.

Because he is useless or injured , can't be any other reasons when others seem ahead of him now in the Checkatrade Cup too

They are great. They must be so happy they've landed him.
What a prize PLUM he is. I never even get this "he obviously has talent but...." thing either. Wenger just made a mistake and signed a donkey and he's lived off the mistake ever since.
