From what Wilder said in the post match presser I think it was the club’s decision, rather than Wilders to keep him from the squad. When asked about his future he said he is part of the group until I am told otherwise. Hopefully Akpom stays for me.
I suppose what his mini resurgence has done has meant we now probably don't need another two strikers, we just need one good one, with Forss, Watmore, Akpom and Coburn as backup. We're going to need whoever comes in to hit the ground running mind, which is a risk. I think we would be still hoping for two in and one out, and my choice for the one out would probably be selling Watmore or Coburn out on loan till Jan, to a team where he will definitely play.
It depends, I'm thinking more along the line that we buy someone very good, rather than someone ok, and someone average. As in I think Akpom could do the job of the ok/ average guy, so should free up money for someone very good.If this is the outcome of this transfer window then there is no way we are getting promoted. We'll be exactly where we were last season, looking up to the playoffs. I expected Wilder and the recruitment team to put a squad together so making the playoffs is a bad result.
Yes, we also need some more midfielders but we have known for ages that it is upfront where we are particularly weak and to go from talk on here last week of Akpom & Watmore going as well as Coburn going out on loan to having the 3 of them in the squad would be extremely disappointing because we know they aren't good enough.
That’s no where near enough as we know the new signing is Hoppe. The way I am seeing things is Coburn will hopefully be loaned at end of window. Watmore will be thanked for his effort and moved on. And we will have Forss, Akpom, Hoppe and push for 2 more strikers between now and end of window.Forss, (new signing), Akpom and Coburn will be our 4 IMO.
I can see Watmore leaving when he realises he's fighting for 3rd choice with Akpom and CW will more than likely choose to get some game time in Coburns legs and look to the future with him at times.

I would say Muniz seems likely and then we will either go back in for Larsen or maybe another European target for a similar fee.We had 3 bids in for Premiership strikers which remain on the table
Forss is here Muniz and Armstrong being the others I would think.
I forgot about Hoppe, my mistake.That’s no where near enough as we know the new signing is Hoppe. The way I am seeing things is Coburn will hopefully be loaned at end of window.

I still reckon we will get Hoppe and 2 more on top of that with Coburn leaving on loan and Watmore either leaving permanently or season long loan.I forgot about Hoppe, my mistake.
Forss, Hoppe, (Larsen, Gyokeres, Muniz or whoever), Akpom and Coburn. That's our 5 and Coburn would probably be loaned out in that case and we'll keep Akpom, plus Kavanagh and Finch as reserves and let Watmore leave, back to Sunderland or somewhere.
We may get 2 new strikers a Larsen and another and let Akpom go aswell... Leaving Forss, Hoppe, New1, New2 plus the kids...but i think CW will leave a bit in the kitty til January.
Armstrong isn't coming, he started for them against Spurs and they're trying to sell Che Adams, so no way does Armstrong go from starter, to leaving on loan to us in a couple of weeks.
Hasn't it just been confirmed Coburn is out for two months?Forss, (new signing), Akpom and Coburn will be our 4 IMO.

Yeah I’d agree. Seems obvious that is the plan.Armstrong isn't happening. Muniz, Hoppe, and someone from the continent please.
