Isn't that why we have a recruiting department
I would like to know what the f they have been doing seeing as we need to fill only a couple of positions, seriously you only had one job guys ffs.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

pay it then
I would suggest having striker less puts us in a worse position.
Add to that, the lack of aerial option offensively, I would say (at this moment in time), forward wise, we are definitely weaker.

Agreed, Potter has a number of game plans, the one where we are able to put a cross in to a player who can compete with defenders in the box is not currently available, except on set pieces.
If we don’t sign a decent sized quality striker I can see us being guaranteed to be in a relegation battle, we might still be in one even if we do make a signing.
We cannot go through until January without a new striker, surely?
I would be very happy if we give Ali J a go as striker but I’ll be worried if that is the new striker plan

Agree, no one to hold the ball when we have to play long. Could be a very hard season
IMHO losing the Muzza threat is significant, but the point should be irrelevant as we should have signed a striker by now. It is not as if our club were surprised by Muzza slowly contributing less due to his age.

No, that is what our budget and failing recruitment team are for

Watching MOTD this morning does make me start to question the clubs approach to signing a striker. I generally support our approach to transfers and yet in our fourth season in the PL we have one made one effective striker signing.
I know Callum Wilson divides opinion but for me he’s a premier league ready striker and recent England international who scores and makes goals. He was available for £20m, the same price we paid for a championship striker who had never played in PL.
He and his family lived on the south coast so we would have been an attractive proposition and we would have had him ready to go for our first game.
We may have someone better lined up but when will they arrive. For me the club overthinks it’s strategy and tries to be too clever in relation to forward players. I’m am becoming frustrated with it ms shops to be proved wrong.

Why would I need to!? We have a player recruitment budget for that. Clown [emoji1782]

At worst, dropping us to 16th.
Could another player have helped us to get more than 2 points from those matches...?
And yet a few of our rivals have managed to do what you are saying is impossible. Amazing

How many times?!
As much as we love him and appreciate everything he’s done he is no longer a threat.
That was clear to see on Friday evening - move on and stop keep repeating the same thing!
Again, spot on. And we stupidly did this to ourselves.

Club are going to buy a striker and I suspect other players too as will rest of premier league. They have 3 weeks left. That’s how it works .
They probably would have liked to have it all wrapped up weeks ago but so what.
Arguing that they can get by without is pointless - they won’t
Arguing that the season is doomed cos the players are in place for 34 or 35 games instead of 38 - ridiculous .
But rinse repeat . Rinse repeat
