Confirmed Signing James Garner

Most people were screaming blue murder in not bringing another striker once the window closed. I’ll take it your opinion is an outlier.

I think we should’ve got another striker in. But I understand that you need a squad of more than 11 players and that James Garner clearly will play plenty of football matches this season and beyond, I’m puzzled as to why this seems to be a foreign concept to you.
 

Not sure where he fits in now

Onana, Gana and Iwobi are the first 3 names on the team sheet with Pickford
No pleasing our fans!
We’ve bought a young player for a reasonable price in todays market with potential to improve.
We’ve bought a young player for a reasonable price in todays market that if he improves will be completely out of our price bracket in the future
We’ve bought a young player for a reasonable price in todays market that will have some sort of resale value due to the fact he’s not 30+ when we bought him
We’ve bought a young player for a reasonable price in todays market on a reasonable wage not a top 6 reject looking for a final payday
We’ve bought a young player for a reasonable price in todays market who along with a similar aged Onana could become a young dynamic midfield for years to come

This season is going to be harder on the squad due to the World Cup (2 games a week) Gana is 33 he’s with the best will in the world not going to play Saturday/Tuesday week in week out

Hes not Gabamin or Gomes!!

Because unlike you it’s clear to me we have finite resources to spend on players. At this stage of our development we need to improve the starting XI as evidenced by our league position.

Garner does improve our starting XI. As I and many others have said, we aren’t going to be playing the same starting XI every single game for 38 games, and Garner is here for 5 years and Gana is 33.
 
My point is he’s not going to be first choice, considering he was our second most expensive signing of the summer you wonder if we could have put the money to use elsewhere like striker if ffp was a consideration in not bringing one in apart from Maupay.
McNeill is the one we should never have considered.

How do we need him? We have plenty who can play out wide...Townsend cant be that far off: he reckons maybe October or just after the World Cup latest. And if you dont have a target man it's pointelss anyway, because that's McNeill's strength: hitting balls in to a forward of that nature.

That cash for McNeill could and should have paid for a new striker.
