[Albion] When will we sign THE striker?

[rippleman]

honestly thought after the f k up of the summer and how at times we've looked absolutely toothless that we would of got at least 1 in the first week Jan.

Starting to feel familiar with the press releases.

Therfore voted we wont but suspect maybe a late loan as a punt.

We need 2/3

Groundhog day. Happens twice a year during the transfer windows.

I really hope its not another loan. Yes, we have had one or two good 'uns during the Amex era but we have had some real shockers too. We can't afford another loanee striker just turning out for the £££ and not giving a shit.

 

[Nixonator]

Thought we'd have signed one already, so no idea. Probably Vincent Janssen time.

 

[Two Professors]

Now we've broken Mr. Brown,can we have a new one please?Plus,hopefully,the return of that nice man Leo.

Huge vote of confidence in the club's recruitment team, this poll

In terms of a loan, are there many options at bigger clubs in the Brown / Abraham category?

Is Chuba Akpom available?

 

[Icy Gull]

Lucky Baldock seems to be back, so at least we won’t have to replace Brown.

As for the new striker, it’s hard not to be negative but we need to remember just how well we have done with every other signing this season, so fingers crossed but will not be surprised if we end up with nobody in.

They set themselves up, for the negativity, with the failure in the summer (which I keep being assured was just bad luck rather than getting it wrong) on the striker front. They haven’t really given us any reason to feel confident it will happen in this window either.

Although I think (hope) the OP may be setting us up because he knows something is about to happen

Can't see us getting one, which would be a huge shame. Should have had this sorted out in December*.

* SHOULD have been sorted in July.

Re the first poll option, I am sure we can find a way of winning at West Brom without a new striker. Thinking we cannot win without one is a bit Newcastley isn't it?

It was amazing just how much bad luck the club had on August the 31st.

To not get in a striker puts a massive onus on Murray and Hemed being fit and available post another transfer window. Got away with it first time, pushing it a second time imo.

 

[The_Viper]

We won't get one in, we'll probably sign one in the Summer but whether it's a new one for the Championship or the PL who knows.

 

[seaford]

No chance. As pointed out previously Uncle Tony is not going to shatter the wage structure on a punt.

Agents/players are trying to maximise their wages, can't blame them, but it does somewhat limit the pool of players that are likely to come here.

Saying all that - ANNOUNCE DEMBELE

 

[Pavilionaire]

Not bringing in a striker in this window could be football suicide. If Murray picked up an injury and missed 3 or 4 weeks we'd be screwed, even more so now that Brown is ruled out.

 

[Triggaaar]

I'm already getting annoyed that we haven't signed a striker.

The Dear Leader isn't helping with all these hints that aren't.

Oh goody, another poll....

 

[Icy Gull]

Oh goody, another poll....

It’s a good one though and rather worrying that over 50% of voters have no faith in the club being able to pull of'f the transfer that probably will dictate whether we stay up or go down this season....

I keep saying with boring regularity, we signed a Swedish U23 striker on New Years Day, if 19 year olds are being quoted on here, why don't we play the Swede ?

Because he has been earmarked for the black hole that is our development squad
