Yes agreed we need both
But we need to find someone in attack who can both score and create. It's not easy but that's why we have recruitment teams

I do agree with this but it's also something that is hugely impacted by the way we setup and the gameplan we employ during matches. Setting the team up with the players we have now in just a slightly more attacking manner would make a noticeable difference.
Sure, if you think we will sell 4 players and replace them with the 10 we need.
Didnt wanna turn it into another Dyche moan, but yes.

A decent football club could sell Onana and Branthwaite and bring in 5 or 6 decent signings to strengthen us overall.
We need:
RB
CB x 2
RW
LW
Striker
I disagree and you totally ignored the midfield.
Goalkeepers
Jordan Pickford
João Virgínia
Billy Crellin
Right Backs
Nathan Patterson
Left Backs
Vitaliy Mykolenko
Centre Backs
James Tarkowski
Michael Keane
Ben Godfrey
Mason Holgate
Midfield
James Garner
Abdoulaye Doucouré
Idrissa Gueye
Wide Forwards
Dwight McNeil
Lewis Dobbin
Strikers
Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Youssef Chermiti
Beto
We need :
2 fullbacks
2 Midfielders
2 Forwards
Then we need to try and shift a CB and replace, then and only then should we look to replace a Striker.
So as I said, a Striker should be the last thing we do this Summer.

Look at our defensive record then look at our attacking record - how can you tell me we shouldn't move to strengthen upfront first?
Need atleast two cm if onana goes aswell gones and dele gone. Add that need a creative am, also need a backup lb young can leave at end of his deal
Whats our defensive record like without Branners?
Anyway, I made my point above, its just straight up facts.
You say that but of the 6 signings you want 3 are in defence???

Certainly a replacement for Onana. But our MF is still relatively strong in bottom half PL terms.

Because the CBs are doing a Herculean job.
We're very vulnerable on the flanks, which is why Dyche has them tucked in.
I think if Branthwaite stays we can get by next season with Keane and Godfrey as backups. It’s not ideal but what little money we have needs to go elsewhere.
They’re capable but this team lacks goals from all areas.
