Although I do think getting a great striker would of course help, I'm not sure if that's priority over getting a FB + CB to sure up the defensive side of things - as well as someone to match Noone's pace on the other side.

That being said; I don't think we'll see much until the last day or two of this window - seems like a lot of teams are really holding out to squeeze as much value as they can on speculated targets.

Predictions are at least 2 new additions by the end of the window and if we don't get a striker but get some quality pickups to a few other areas I think we'll be looking good.


I really do think we have plenty of guys who can put the ball into the net - the larger problem is getting chances consistently through solid possession imho.

The only players that look like they can score are campell, then noone and mutch May get a chance too.

Frank Sinclair has a excellent record for putting the ball in the net :laughing6:

More or less just saying if you're at this level; you can find the net. I think it's more about building confidence and getting more chances than just getting someone with a higher Goal:Game ratio. It sounds like my opinion isn't the most popular ;) but that's fine and I'll stick to it... all we can do is speculate and watch :happy1: but it's always fun to talk about different situations though :)

I agree mate, someone who can hold possession with a good assist rate would be just as valuable

Most activity happens on the last day. Fingers crossed for a left winger and striker!
