I really wish you were right with this thread, we are desperate for someone who can score goals, rather than bottling it when in front of the goal.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

No he wouldn’t have, we were only awarded one penalty in the end and Maupay scored that anyway.

Not seen such Bravery!
There is still the football league window to sign Pukki, Deeney, Welbeck, King, Grant etc etc etc.
Deadline Day 2 - Friday 16th October.
We only have 2 strikers so must be a big choice of " different to what we have"
If we had 6 then fair enough.
Striker incoming surely

At this stage I wouldnt trust anything the press (Naylor included) says... If we were desperate to sign a striker, which we may well be, we certainly wouldnt make it public knowledge. Everyone Albion connected will have been instructed to give their best poker face until the deadline has passed and people like Andy Naylor wouldnt be given their usual insider knowledge on potential transfers.
And just because right now a signing doesnt look likely, that can change very quickly within the last 48 hours when Tony decides to go all in.

That quote could apply to all of the other 19 Prem clubs. It is meaningless

strong and stable with me, or...
We have 4. Andone & Gyokores. They may not be what we want, but they are strikers. So it is 4 until we hear otherwise.

I, and most probably the club, disagree with that. We have an academy full of young players, some are strikers and although not ideal to be thrown in too early some clubs find a gem. We need to sign strikers who are better options than Andone/Jahanbakash/Gyokores and ideally can compete with Maupay for a starting spot. Otherwise it's just wasting money on alternative benchwarmers

Isn't that 6?
true , Andone is certainly good enough. When is he due back ?

Looks like a question of getting through the next three months (13 matches). Andone should be back in the new year.
I wouldn't gamble £20m on a striker who may well end up unused or being a dud. Especially not in this climate.
Folk might think differently if it was their money.

Quality over quantity
I'm really not sure this striker is coming. Not saying that we shouldn't try and get one still but with the way we play, and the adaptability Potter presses on the squad, I can see Trossard and Ali J being out striking 'backups' - not to mention Andone being the 3rd 'real' striker come January and there's Gyokeres too unless he goes out on loan.
The thing is it's not that unusual for teams to only have 2 'real' strikers. Look at City (Aguero and Jesus) and Spurs (Kane + one incoming) for starters
Hoping but not expecting

Im hoping we bring in another striker... but if we dont we'll have Maupay, Connolly, Gyokeres, Andone (from December), and Zeqiri as our options. Not exactly terrible. As others have mentioned Trossard and Ali J could also step in if needed.
