Absolutely gagging for a striker.....

No problem. Most people invariably resort to bad language when they've lost, or are losing, an argument so I would have expected no less of you.

Yawn. It's about time some folks took their heads out of the sand. Anyone who is satisfied with how our recruitment is going this summer must be easily pleased. No offence meant of course.

Hey Zeb. Who said this last year?

Looks as if the club is getting its excuses in early..... We are going to struggle to make the play-offs this year unless we sign at least one and ideally two good quality strikers before the window shuts tomorrow. Let's hope the club has something up its sleeve. It's not as if we haven't had sufficient time. Having just two permanent first team strikers on our books is just not good enough if we are serious about obtaining promotion this season. Any medium term injuries or suspensions in the striking department will seriously cripple us.

What happened?

Deja Vue?

Stop whinging. Have some patience FFS

Don't really care for the stats of other clubs, history is there for the making. I repeat my belief Solly is more than capable of x 7 - 10 goals, Antony Knock x 10 if both fit across a full season.
the number 10 shirt has always been the dynamic attacking midfielder( ignore Trevor Brooking) often seen as an additional striker, a goal creator and goal scorer. Bergkamp being a superb example of the bread , and no I don't think Gross is in the same class but i do think he will score goals as I do also think we will surprise a few. Put the spreadsheet away are start believing in the possibilities and feel free to bounce in May 2018.

I don't normally use bad language and I can assure you I haven't lost any argument - I am just sick to the back teeth with people downing the side before the season has even begun, then saying anyone who doesn't agree is deluded / has their head in the sand / doesn't know what they are talking about, etc, etc, etc...

This squad with its lack of fit, youthful, top flight quality strikers WILL go down.

Which is why the club are working hard on recruits, as borne out by the move for Tammy Abraham.

Even little old: Stains, Bournemouth, Burnley and Palace, all spent significantly on going up, each on many new faces. It's a bare minimum.

The "possibilities" are made by planning to succeed and significant investment. Alas, not by team bonding alone and the romantic notion that our current squad might surprise a few.

Fair enough. Each to his own view I guess. Feel free to put me on your ignore list if you wish.

I don't ignore anyone, I might argue with, pee off or get peed off by, but ignore, no!

All's good for me, hope it is for you too.

Sorry, you can't say this squad WILL go down! Whatever your beliefs are you can't say for certain the current squad isn't good enough. You might believe it, which is fair enough, but you can't be categoric!
