All for nothing if we fail to get a decent striker in.

This pole is all dependant on that striker coming in

It can't be anything above a 3 if we end up with a weaker striker force than we ended last season with.
Then i look at the other signings we have made, other than Izquirerdo, nothing seems great. We have messed up this transfer window IMO.

We have made some good signings overall in this window, but the area we really needed to strengthen was up front. The recruitment team, CH, PB and TB will be disappointed if we don't get a decent striker in. There is still time to turn this around, that crucial position to fill is a striker.
It's only been 136 days since we sealed promotion. Little point in making a judgement now when there's over 7 more hours to go.

2 at the moment, we may just survive depending on how shit other teams do.

To be brutally honest, we have spent what? 45 million? Upgrading our squad. Had we spent all of that on two decent strikers, i think id be happier.
Our squad was ok at the end of last season, it doesnt seem a hell of a lot better now.
4 for me, maybe some of the signings will look good after a few more games. But we really need those strikers, it was obvious when we got promoted and we are actually weaker now, if losing Chuba Akpom can be considered as making the strikeforce weaker, that is debatable i suppose.

I think this is a great summary. Two strikers and a midfielder could arguably have been bought for £45million and that was clearly the area we were weakest in. At the same time we have replaced Stockdale with Ryan and the jury is out there. Arguably though we are actually a little weaker now.
SSN just broke the news live from Lancing that .....
..... we are hoping to sign Krul and Schelotto before the day is out.
They invent ever more connotations of presenting the same news they've been reporting for hours.

Just really feels like the striker is not going to happen. I think barber was honest in his interview earlier when he was hoping for 3 (before krul was known about and before brugges boy fell through)

Exactly, what is the point of a solid team that cannot score goals? Is it 1 goal in six or seven league games now?
