Oumar niasse- Arguably not better than we have
Jay rodriguez- West Brom would have wanted a lot and not exactly torn this league up but a decent shout and player I rate
Abel hernandez- See Niasse though on a free a decent shout
Danny ings- Wages likely way to high and would always have chosen Saints over us
Dominic solanke- Doubt Liverpool would have let him go and arguable not better
Tammy abraham- Not better than what we have was poor at Swansea
Neil maupay- You are only mentioning him as he has started this season well
Britt assambologo- Would have cost way to much considering he has never played at this level and is injury prone
Patrick bamford- Not better than what we have not worth forking our for
Benik afobe- See above IMO
Jonathon kodija- would have cost way to much for an untested player
Artem dzuba- Will be in stupidly high wages as all the big name Russian players are in the Russian league
Finboggsson- Likely would have cost to much but not a terrible shout
Leigh griffiths- Are you Joking![]()
Tomar hemed- See Bamford
Dominick calvert lewin- Like him but doubt Everton would want to let him go
Alavaro negredo- Wages would have been way way to high for us
Saido berahino- See Leigh Griffiths

Please don't start negging out Bobby Reid before he's even started ! He's not an out and out striker who was ever intended to be an alternative to Ken. Very few of those players seem especially worth having, and certainly not at the prices which would have been required - and there is only so much money you know. It's all very well saying we should have bought Ronaldo, but where's the money coming from ?
I do agree that it'd have been better to have also strengthened that area, but I also understand that since I'm not paying the fee I can't expect unlimited buying in.

This wasnt a negative post having a go at anyone, i was just making a point that we should have taken a pint on atleast one of them strikers who are proven to be bale to finish and score goals, striker should have been a priority in the window and we failed to get one and their were defintiely options out there. That was the aim of the post, but maybe one of our existing players will step up and give us enough anyway

When they went to 10 THEY went organised and disciplined. We haven’t didn’t really have many clear cut chances. I think as the midfield gels more together they will start controlling more from the off and we should see more chances coming. It’s clear what Warnock is doing. He’s keeping us together and fighting. Goals will come. We may not be heading the goals for but it’s still early days.

Musa & Slimani from Leicester
Mitrovic from Newcastle
Perez from Arsenal 4m!
Many more
Just hope that Ken can start hitting the net & we strengthen in January.

Now the only one who is proven is Rodriguez but he would probably cost us over £20 million and smash the pay structure
Its our set plays that won us promotion and they have been shocking
