Are they even allowed to do that?

Indeed. We looked to spend £8m on Pratchard, and with us in second position I think the club will be looking for a striker to compete with Baldock for a starting place.

If we're serious about the PL, we need to get there first and foremost. If we get there and the striker then leaves, that's fine, we'll have more money to spend in the summer.

So that's a yes from you then. If we sign someone on loan, we've still signed them. They'll still cost money too.

The club will always have an idea of what they will spend, but I expect the amount they're prepared to spend in January will be higher. They'll be prepared to spend over the odds, compared with other times in our history.

Reliable as what? It's only our opinions on whether we will or won't, it doesn't mean we will or won't. I'm sure the poll result is a mixture of many things, like: oops, pressed the wrong button; I think yes, but I don't want to tempt fate so will vote no; I'm a troll and will vote the opposite...

That partly is my poll question. I think if we're in a similar position at the end of the (calendar) year, TB will decide that now is the time to gamble.

By definition, any striker the club buy would be deemed to be the right striker at an acceptable price. Personally I'd think that if we're still top two at the end of the year, we'd be prepared to pay over the odds, and what's acceptable to us will be higher than before.

Do you think we'll sign a forward in the January transfer window?
