Going into last season might have been deemed worse but it turned out ok. Perez was hit and miss with a lot of people, Rondon was slated when signed, Muto the same as you have put for this season and Joselu was f***ing awful. That’s progress. Oh wait, it isn’t.

I dunno, David Luiz has just gone for 8M, really can't see you getting 15M for Gayle. Also, you should probably have appended a qualifying adjective to Joselu too . That's always the mooted figure and seems relatively achievable given the fees paid for strikers. But even so, let's call it 8-12m. We should still be looking to get someone in who is better than Gayle by spending some money. Joelinton - Rondon Perez - Maxim Almiron Joselu - Carrol Muto Gayle Not a bad line up to be fair. Anyone proven from a foreign league is unproven in the PL and anyone prem proven is out of our price range so it's kind of a moot point. I dont see too many proven strikers in any league going for £40m. Joelinton represents a huge gamble by any clubs standards so I can't be mad with the signing in much the same way I wasnt annoyed with the Almiron signing who was equally unproven. If we were to get a CM I'd of actuslly have been happy with this window up until the point I remembered Steve Bruce was our manager. We could definitely spend 25-30m on a striker and improve on Gayle. And we have the cash to do it. 25-30m on a second or 3rd choice striker? Can only see Jiminez, Kean and Leoã at those prices. I'd have been happier if they'd bought a CM but our forward line looks the strongest in a long while, on paper at least. I preferred your pre-edit post when you pointed out that if Carroll wasn’t injured he’d be worth more.

Top 4. In your dreams. He said challenge. From within the top 8. Like we’ll challenge the top half, from 17th.

January’s the real test.

Derek forced him to say he was in limbo. Init.

Who's the midfielder we're signing then?

Who gets left out the 25 then? Gayle?

Is he quality or quantity at this stage?

Shocker

Why don’t people rate Luiz? I think he’s class.

We're desperately attempting to stand still whilst other teams are taking steps forward. The Ashley way.

I'm going to predict about 79 minutes of silence, with a bit of booing of Almiron when he misses a one on one.

He's the right back version of Erik Pieters then?

We'd have to give Murphy (and probably Aarons) away first. I sense we're "done" because it's impossible to shift the shit.

3 completely unproven forwards and 1 who hasn't performed at this level. I'm excited.

Quick, check who his agent is.

Can't argue with any of that.

A striker who, according to Wiki, scored twice in the Conference last season? I'm taking the piss.

From what i’ve Heard, from someone who does scouting for the club, we’ve signed James alabi

We couldn’t afford the other half. Fair

Dummett

What’s the 50% ownership? Like a loan for the first year?

Why has he only got half a face?

The most likely scenario

He’s a skinny bastard
