Jozy at least played in the big boy leagues

Dike is 20. He will get his chances to as well and imo will most likely better Jozy's record of 3 goals in 79 appearances in said leagues.

we need about 6 elite level players but we haven’t got the money for elite level anything sooooo

Our supporters fascination with strikers fixing everything is wild considering it was only 5 years ago that we had an elite striker and still came 7th or whatever because the rest of the team was average to poor. How about a real midfield? Or a RB? Or an above average keeper? Do any of these things sound like good ideas?
A top striker makes the difference today.
The team on a whole has improved from 5 years ago in every department. We are creating chances that a top striker would score and win us the points.

We really aren't. We did today, but on the whole we aren't.

Before today weren’t we the most clinical side in the league ? and at the same time not creating anywhere near enough chances?

This the first time since December that imo you can say we had a poor finishing game.
So we don’t need a top level striker then. Ok.

You can put Haaland in our team if you want, we are going to look like Dortmund do in Germany right now because if you have poor play behind him he can't fix everything.
We literally saw this in 2016/17.
It does but our problems are a lot more fundamental - we need a RB, a left sided centre half who can pass the ball through the press and either a RW or ACM who can carry the ball decent distances before we start looking at the CF
This may be an emotional reaction in the immediate aftermath of watching Palace out-work us all over the park, but I remain firmly convinced that we need two new CMs this summer. Both need to be pacy, comfortable on the ball, in the 23 - 26 age brackets and one of them needs to be an elite-level performer who is undeniably our best CM. This would leave us with a midfield made up of:
Allan
Davies
Doucoure
Gbamin (but I can easily see a scenario where he goes out on loan to Germany or France next season)
2 x new faces
Sell Delph and Bernard as urgent priorities, £5m each would be fine because they will both have one year left on their contracts. I'd try to loan Gomes out to Italy, Spain or Portugal if we can find a club to cover his wages, but obviously sell him if someone shows interest. I'd also listen to all offers for Tosun and Kenny (both will have one year left on their contracts in June 2021) and try to cash in on Kean.
We're obviously going to bring in a RB. The extent to which we continue to clear out dead wood and wage thieves will determine how many other areas of need we can address: in an ideal world we bring in a new LM/LW and a new RM/RW but if we HAVE to get a starting RB and a starting CM as an absolute bare minimum.

I would say no more excuses this summer but I have been saying it every window since we signed Lukaku McCarthy and Barry
