[Albion] Will we sign a PL ready striker by the close of the window?

After four matches with Welbeck up top and one match with no striker up top, my tentative conclusion is that we need a striker to enable us to play over the press as well as round it. Either Potter believes Undav is the Welbeck alternative or he doesn't agree we need one, so there will be no incoming striker today.

Listen to me!!!
Possibly yes but not premier ready

What’s Premier League Ready? I’m assuming a player with a record of scoring 15+ in either the PL or at equivalent level (of which there a not many leagues). We’re talking 50m+ and wages to match. Not happening.

strong and stable with me, or...
I suppose Everton have just signed a PL ready striker for reasonable money. Not 15+ goals, but 10+ and a good record of scoring at PL level.
A player that it didn't quite work for in one team can find their feet and suit another.

Not seen such Bravery!
I doubt it unless it's a late, late bid for someone who hasn't even been rumoured yet.

A striker who can get by in the PL and not look out of his depth, doesn't have to be a Haaland. Able to mix it with PL defenders and link up with his colleagues and score the occasional goal whilst creating a few too,
A Callum Wilson or Ivor Toney or someone who can get close I guess
Name some names of these elusive 'premier league ready' strikers then (I mean those that are likely to be available!)
Pukki
Real shame we didn't go in for wout weghorst. Could have worked at Brighton.

100% yes, a out of the blue banger that Man Utd watched for 8 minutes 3 years ago but decided he was to small to be a striker, probably.

It would be great to be Vicente style blown away, just one last time... sigh.
It so unlikely it almost hurts.
Even a random amazing freebie, but with Del Piero and Ronaldinho firmly retired and even Hulk beyond us, well it’s over to Welbz to score at least one goal and Undav might suddenly blossom too... Graham’s relaxed, we should all be relaxed too ... should we not ?

You know I love a poll and this is not a divisive one that I am often accused of posting
What about premiership ready for all the plastics on here
I expected the Mehs to be from non Albion fans
mine is because I'm sick of all the us and them claptrap from different groups of supporters on socials we all support the same club at the end of the day
I can almost hear the Champions League hymn playing
But isn't that what Undav was supposed to be? If not, why did we buy him? He isn't going to enhance his value if he is just an EPL bench warmer. All seems very odd.
But Potter has said he is happy with the squad he has so we must trust that he is going to play Undav or the lad Ferguson when Welbeck is injured or having a rest. Clearly the "false 9", when we don't have the players to make it work, is no longer an option. If Potter is happy not to strengthen the central attacking options then it is down to him to make it work with what he has.
No - we won't be getting a new central striker by the time the window slams shut.
