Here's a different one: how many strikers from the bottom half of the PL have scored more goals than Murray this season?

These aren't the players you're looking for.

exactly, none.
The danger is we fork out on a new striker, he doesnt hit the ground running and because of the fee paid, Chris is compelled to keep him in the team hoping he finds his feet.
In the meantime Glenn has to sit out games and we start to lose matches we would have won earlier in the season.
Maybe we are where we are because we didnt sign a striker?
In my opinion our midfield is at fault for not chipping in more.

To some extent I think you're right. I don't think Dale or Solly have been particularly impressive this season so far.

Hmmm... nobody is saying just sign any old striker... we are all saying sign a striker better than we have got, so I disagree, although agree there is always a risk...

Harsh on Dale. It's hard to score when you're not allowed to move further than ten yards past the half-way line

You could add to that 2 centre backs ...we have a problem conceding at set pieces ...but D&D should by now have converted a few corners at the other end!

Its a fair point but when they have had a few pops at goal they've been wanting

Exactly just look how many Cook scores, albeit in an attack minded team

Its true, but as everything tends to average out in the end, I expect each to bury a couple at least before season's out

Bong offers to have a word and try and sort this transfer.

The question is what if Hemed/Murray etc. gets injured and out until June? Fact is we are light on a striker and need someone in to ultimately take over from Murray. Will Murray even be first choice next season in the EPL?

A 16m bid from an English club was turned down earlier this week.

West Bromwich?

strong and stable with me, or...
A player who has never scored more than 14 goals in a full season, even in the French 2nd division, is supposedly worth more than £16m if you are a PL club. 
10 goals this season in 19 appearances is obviously a superb return in Ligue 1, and perhaps he's found himself as he reaches 25 yrs old, but blimey, if plan Bs and plan Cs are £16m+ no wonder it is tough to get a deal for a striker through...

Palace, Stoke, WBA, and others including us are all looking so who knows.

All of whom will be willing to pay more than us on all fronts I expect....

Silly old bat
I refused yesterday an offer of 14 million euros, " had confessed the President Angevin, Said Chabane, West-France . According to our information, the SCO has refused a proposal of 16 million euros from another English team, whose name has not filtered. Recently, West Bromwich Albion was interested in his profile
That says to me there are two clubs bidding, West Brom and another English team.

If thats merely all it was - agreeing fees/wages - then Andone or Janssen or Dwamena and other strikers would be Albion players now.
but it wasn't fees , wages that left us empty handed in the summer (with those targets at least) it was medicals, didn't fancy coming here thanks very much, bad luck, injuries to other players, hiccups in getting replacements in or leaving it too late or Paul Barber being rubbish.
Take your pick.

He knows Bong so is hardly likely to go to West Brom.
