You do realise that NM has scored more PL goals this season than each of the four strikers you’ve named? Edouard has been relegated to the subs bench for Palace.

The frustrating thing is it would be more understandable if other clubs weren't signing strikers either, but the fact is they are. The likes of Adams, Ings, Edouard, Wilson etc. have all moved clubs in recent windows yet we've seemingly decided we're better off shopping in below par foreign leagues, meaning we've ended up with the likes of Ali J, Locadia and Andone, or relied on a clearly not yet ready kid in Connolly. Welbeck was the sort of striker we need, and even he was to paper over the cracks after we failed in a previous summer to sign anyone.
If our recruitment team can't do the job, find one which can. If the budget is the issue then be honest about it and stop pushing the ridiculous "top 10" idea because we really aren't doing it on a budget.

You don’t fund a football club to make money, fact. If your chairman is going to publicly target a top10 finish he needs to fund it, fact
Rubbish, ask the Glazers who made a fortune out of MUFC

Lamptey signalled to the bench early in the second half……..not 100% sure but appeared to suggest he needed to come off.

It has been proved that Mitrovic can’t do it in the Premier League. We’d just be exchanging one decent Championship striker for another.
Who would you like instead and why ?
Go back 15 years - what would you think at the time of someone told you Brighton would be losing £67M a year ?
How do I know what?
A championship striker is prohibitively expensive?
Because it's a fact of footballing life.
Or
Such a player is worth it?
Because it's a fact of footballing life that they aren't.
You point to a Championship striker who cost £15m+ and has scored 12 goals a season.

Exactly, villa fans hate Watkins.

Any striker we get will be written off once he goes 3 games without a goal.

We should get Barnes back?
What about Vydra.
Perhaps Chris Wood.
Maybe this is the year for Calleri.
I wonder if we'll go after Nunez, this window.

Oh someone wants an extended honeymoon period.
FFS why are people making stupid remarks like this about someone who's spent about £200M, give or take a few dozen millions, on this club?
Or maybe you can jog over somewhere? Newcastle?

Watkins 3 from 11
Adams 3 from 12
Edouard 3 from 10
Ings 3 from 10
Maupay 4 from 13
Bit of a problem finding THAT goal scorer, isn’t it?
