I have a horrible feeling we won't. Baldock back, I can see us making do - unless we get another loan player to replace Izzy. I hope I'm wrong though.

And with this poll, it's only just dawned on me that we're playing at Southampton on transfer deadline day. Should make for an exciting trip home from St Marys.
Vincent Janssen o'clock, only he won't be as good.

Before the Southampton game.
He'll be announced, in amongst all the usual rumours of crud that have been linked with us.
Well here's hoping.

Suspect we won't get anyone in to be honest - still feel if this happens we have enough to stay up - UTA
Perhaps a better question might have been:-
'How many more points will be dropped by not signing THE striker?'

O/T but dont you find it, what I would call a bug, in VBulletin that when you elect to post a poll it posts the thread before you can submit the poll options and you start getting replies, hence having to state things like <poll en route>
or endure comments like "this should be a poll" when you are filling out the selections
it must be SUCH a simple fix for them to make surely?
Final day.
They will be from a slightly exotic country (Sweden, Japan, etc).
We WON'T have heard of them except a few on here who really keep up with world leagues. One person will say they're absolute quality, another will say they're pony.
They will have a decent scoring record somewhere like the Belgian or Turkish league.

Not convinced we will sign a striker on a permanent deal, can see a loan happening but at the end of the month. I know these deals are hard, clubs don't need to sell etc but I really hope we don't lose points against some of the easier teams in January for the sake of a couple of million. Appreciate it's not my money but it's even more of a gamble and potential loss of tens of millions if we go down by the odd point.

I don't think we will.
The deal was either going to have been lined up for window opening, or not done at all

Ive no problem with a top quality loan and keeping our cash in pocket until the summer.
The only thing with that is it will definitely be a final day deal, and I was hoping for much sooner.
However this is TB we are talking about. I have no doubt he will spend if its the right player, he has never let us down and never will.

We'll sign them before the West Brom game.
Which will be our first match in September in the Championship.

I'm going for TWO strikers signing – one permanent and one loan. As for when they arrive? One in the next week and the other towards the end of the window (i.e. just before the Saints game).

I agree with Mr Bobkin. One as still required and someone to replace Izzy Brown. I just can't believe that we would leave ourselves in a position where a couple of injuries could be decisive. I know it's not easy by the way but if we can't compete now at the level we will be looking for then when can we? Remember we had done deals for strikers in the last window.
