Which strikers do you think we will sign?

NOT who do you want to sign. But who you think we will actually sign.

Just a little game. See who (if anyone) is right at the end of the window.

Personally, I don’t have a clue so I’ll go..

Gyokores, Armstrong, Archer.

The way things are shaping up, can see us getting some deadline day panic loans in.

I’d actually be open to Balogun coming back, full season and give him a run in the team. That’s our level. If we were in a position to be splashing the cash on multiple bigger names, surely we wouldn’t be sitting waiting for the Spence sale.
 
I remain confident that Gibson will invest.
Gyokeres is the best available to us and is realistic.
Riis and Joao are also buyable and very good.
EDIT Henry looks an exciting player but I know very little really about him.
Young Simpson from Ipswich would be a good flutter for the future.
The loans will take longer too as PL clubs decide who they make available.

If Soton don't pull their finger out and sign, then Armstrong will be going nowhere.
Gayle thankfully looks to have been stopped in its tracks.
Muniz on loan could be a real possibility.
I wonder if Keinan Davies will be made available again by Aston Villa. I thought he did very well at Forest.

Take a look at the full squad out in Portugal now. It is so thin it is incredible.
Roberts, Daniels
Dijksteel, McNair, Lenihan, Fry, Smith
Jones, Giles, Howson, Crooks, Tavernier, McGree, Boyd-Munce (barely first team squad)
Watmore, Coburn.
That is a 16 man squad exc Academy, but including a player we haven't signed yet (Smith) and one the manager wants out (Daniels)
10 more have left, are in the wilderness, or are long term injured (Lumley, Peltier, Bamba, Ameobi, Siliki, Sporar, Balogun, Connolly, Hall, Fisher)
Payero looks like going out, who knows with Bola?

Even if he retains Bola and signs Smith, then we require 7 players to form a 24 man squad, supplemented by Academy/U23.
I do think we will get them, eventually, but how Wilder knits them together will require incredible skill given the time he has.
We desperately need a first choice GK.
We need a first choice LCB. (Otherwise the round peg/round hole logic is holed). In any case 4 CB's for 3 positions is suicidal.
We need a very good DCM to challenge and cover Howson. (Nobody else can play that position. Please don't say McNair)
We need a very good Attacking midfielder. (We now look very thin here)
We need at least 3 high quality Strikers, (4 before we can even consider letting Josh out on loan)

The wage bill is low, there is very little amortisation to cover, our FFP position is strong and we will get £15m profit on Spence within the next year accounts and FFP.
The time is right to recruit quality to create a promotion winning squad.
I am absolutely confident that Gibson will grasp the nettle.

That all makes sense to be fair. Decent post. 👍
 
Maybe we are thinking we'll find better value biding our time this year? When's transfer deadline this year?

Could be spot on there 👍 2 we could sign permanently if they are a success , Parrott on a permanent as part of the Spence deal .
Undav loan would also suit , good age , experienced , goal scorer , so May replace one of the 4 young ones ,Muniz, Parrott Simms and Simpson being younger .
Simms and Simpson as back up makes the 5 , letting Josh go out on loan .
Stefan GK
Branthwaite / Davies LCH
Mooy / Campbell DM CM

1st of September.

We've had enough damaging windows where the club tried to wait till late on to bring in players, I think they'll have learned their lesson and I can't see it being a deliberate policy.
 
Aaron Connolly had bad signing written all over him bad attitude and bad player.Could not understand that signing .
 
Given what I've read, including the comments from CW that two EPL players have given a commitment to come here, but await their parent club signing a replacement, I'd say Muniz and Armstrong.

Fulham and Southampton both looking to sign a forward or two this window.

Is be happy with those, plus I think another will join then.

IF we are going to spend , Joel Piroe would be top of my list.
His record is superb - 194 games - 85 goals- 26 assists in all,
Championship - 44 games - 21 goals - 6 assists .
A 1 in 2 striker . Is he CW type ? CW likes a striker who scores so he fits the bill and at age 22 can gain in value. Him left and Muniz right would be great IMO. Armstrong / Undav in behind . Piroe 21/6 and Undav 27 goals 13 assists are in form goalscorers - 48 goals 19 assists between them las season, so we could play those 2 from the off and bring Muniz and Armstrong on after 70 min, looks very good to me.

Piroe is an absolutely lovely player IMHO.
If I thought we could get both him and Gyokeres I would be ecstatic, but even I don't think we could afford that.
