Hughton: "I hope we are successful in this transfer window to get a bit more attacking threat. I hope I'll be busy, can't guarantee it but we are trying as hard as we can. It is a difficult market."

Probably works better than:
"**** me, we'll take almost anyone at almost any price at this point.
Has anyone got Ricky Van Wolfswinkel's number?"

He should've done a Dick Knight and guaranteed us 7 new signings but only bring in 1.

We must sign two strikers this week. Hemed is the only fit forward at the club with Baldock and now Murray injured. That's a crisis position to be in. Otherwise where are the goals going to come from?

Hemed may be fit, but he is not very quick and his pass completion today must have been less than 50%. Let's not mention his shooting stats.

Different (higher) league to Glenn in mobility and linking-up play though.

I had hoped for two new strikers all along.
Every injury cloud (whilst a window is open) has a silver lining.
The club must be busy right now and TB will have to dig deep, yet again.

Really?
Glenn may be nearing the end of his career, but even last season his link up play was immense as it always has been and he intelligently chased down opponents for almost entire games (saving enough energy to score the stack of goals that sent us up).
Hemed was a key part of the squad, but mobility has never been his strength.

Niasse on loan still looks a likely one if the 2.
The other I think will be deadline day

Hopefully 2 strikers in.
I'm very grateful for GM/TH/SB, but I don't think any of them will cut it at the top.
Obviously I'd love to be proven wrong, but I just can't see them getting close to 25 goals between them this season.

But he is predominantly there to score goals and at this level he just doesn't look like he can. Premier League defenders like players who play with their backs to goal, it's the ones who receive the ball side on and drive at goal with pace that cause problems. Both Tomer and Glen struggle to do this, but Glen has the longer contract and zero resell value.
I like Tomer but I think the time is right for him to move on.

Baldock could with his pace and directness. If wasn't for the endless injuries.
Walking time bomb.

Andre Gray, who never got a kick today, cost Watford 18 million!
If you could add a good 20 goals guaranteed striker (speedy variety) to those three, you wouldn't have bad strike force.
Back to the quest for a 'Better Baldock' I suppose.
Or his finishing. Once again he had a few chances today and as usual fluffed them
