So gut feeling - which strikers will we get?

I hope it's not but... prices for young experienced players are insane, and strikers are usually the most expensive position.

True but I just don’t see us paying that for him. He hasn’t done enough yet to warrant that fee. I’m hoping we get him for between 3 and 3.5 with small add ons

I think CW will want at least one young striker on a permanent, and I think out of the three (Armstrong and Muniz), Forss is the only one "for sale" at an obtainable price.

I don't think Gyökeres is worth the £15m or whatever it was Cov wanted for him after one good season, I don't think Forss is worth £8m... But its just the way the market is, that's why nobodies buying and most transfers so far have been loans or frees.

West Ham bought a 23 year old midfielder from Swansea last week for £10m, he'd only had one good season.
 
I don’t know how anyone can say the spense money is all the money we have when we didn’t even know we were getting that before Wilder was put in place and he wouldn’t of come without funds being made available unless of course we were planning to sell fry or spence

We might have had money before the Spence deal, but I think it's very unlikely we'll be spending more than the Spence money before the end of the window

We will have money to spend on top of the spence money.

No chance we're spending more than £12m this window. Gibson's been bankrolling the club every summer for years, he'll see it as a "finally the club can spend its own money" situation, and rightly so.

It depends if he thinks that extra money will give us a stronger chance of reaching the promise land

The trouble is the disparity between what premier League/parachute clubs and championship clubs can pay. If a club could get £20 million from a premier League club, why accept 5 million from a championship club.

I just don't think it's worth spending large amounts of money in the championship. Look at the biggest transfers in the division. There are some horrendous failures in there, to the extent that the correlation between transfer fee and quality of player is almost entirely absent. You're paying top dollar for players that aren't good enough to play for the top division clubs.

You need to be clever. Players who didn't make the academies in London. Players who moved to the premier League but couldn't get into the first team. Free transfers. I think that's what we are doing now. It's difficult. But it's better than the alternative. Monk ruined the progress we had made from Mowbray and Karanka.

The time to spend is in the premier League.
