You are probably correct and my post was borne out of frustration.

I’d recommend they steer clear of this thread for starters !

Without wanting to sound too hysterical, no it hasn’t just opened. The January window is 31 days long, we’re towards the end of day 18. We’ve got 12 days to bolster this squad or, IMO, we’re screwed.
But name a PL club (outside the top 6) who've added a player this month?

Huddersfield off the top of my head Pritchard
Stoke - just got a left back.
Jordon Rhodes never mentioned money when he joined Middlesborough or Massive, so that can’t have been any motivation in his choice !
Also weird that Tammy Abraham didn’t mention the fact Swansea gave him £1m and we wouldn’t in his statement when he joined? Or when Vydra went to Reading over us he never said it was because they offered more money? Maybe he just liked the shopping in Slough..

Blimey , you really are convinced we will never sign a player again. Fair enough.
But apart from them ....

Watford, palace, Southampton, Newcastle, West Ham, Swansea , Burnley (not on this list anyway), and Brighton haven’t made any permanent signings of greater than £1m in this window.

Not at all. I'm just surprised by the lack of long term planning in the striker department. Brighton has always done well to have a successor lined up in positions for when players move on for whatever reason. With a bit of overlap to 'bed' players in or whatever. Except strikers in recent years.

strong and stable with me, or...
Stoke – a couple of full backs and an U23
Huddersfield – a defender sent out on loan from Monaco, and Pritchard
Leicester – probably the only genuine one you could say 'I wonder if we could have got him'...
Everton – Walcott, never in our market
Burnley – Spurs loanee
Other than Fousseni Diabaté, a striker from Ligue 2 for Leicester, its fair to say, not a lot has happened for anyone really in terms of what we're looking for. If a load of clubs were signing strikers, then you really would have alarm bells ringing.

You have only heard that from posters on NSC. Best ignored.

That’s lovely, but the question was name a club outside of the top 6 that’s made a signing. That’s precisely what I did, also, Burnley have made a loan signing so don’t try and make out that it doesn’t count as I’m quite sure you included Izzy Brown as a signing for us.

What does it matter what other clubs are doing? We need a striker and soon.

I think your point is somehow that Albion aren’t up to speed and everyone else is. Not sure that the handful of signings elsewhere stands that up but yep you’re right. Stoke and Burnley and Hudds have some new players.

Conveniently forgetting Everton spent £27m on a Turkish international striker? And why are you trying to discard those signings as if they’re irrelevant. Stoke have been crap defensively, they’ve signed 3 defenders, 2 of which are internationals. Also worth noting we don’t just need a striker so that comment is a moot point.
