Because if Tosun and Walcott get injured, or don’t deliver, then we can’t even call on Lookman or Sandro to add natural attacking threat. We are relying on luck rather than options.

Samir Nasri is on a free currently. Still only 30...
Seen a few saying take a punt on him. I would perhaps.
Any way we’ve signed two attackers and a left sided defender this window.
Seems ok to me.
Last night helps a lot. If we'd lost I'd be concerned. But now we're sitting reasonably comfortably and there's only 13 games left. Not many really at all.
We have 3 strikers. 3 wide players. 3 out and out Centre mids. Rooney as a deep midfielder or at a push, can play across a front 4. Klassen is still here. Siguurdson can play across the front line. We have 2 right backs and Cuco. We have Baines, Cuco and Garbutt on the left, and Mangala who played there for Porto. We have 5 centre halves with RFM to return in March. Our depth is fine for out schedule. 31 was a very high number, not conducive to good morale or easy for coaches to deal with.
If we get safe by April then a few kids can be given a chance. Then we hopefully reintegrate Lookman Dowell Klassen Onyekuru etc in preseason.

I have a feeling, we've seen the last of Lookman. I hope I'm wrong.
..I think you lot have had enough of Eggs at breakfast for the last month!!
By the looks of it, despite Sam's lies, the plan was always to send him out on loan.
Derby was the other option, and the one the club wanted. Lookman chose Leipzig.

Hope it works for him and we get a better player back.
Same pal.
As I said last night, the move to Dortmund has done Jadon Sancho a world of good.
Hopefully the same happens with Mola. The talent is there.
..I really doubt it was a case of Allardyce ‘lying’. I know folk don’t like him but I think some comments are simply born out of that rather than being analytical. Allardyce appears a straight talking bloke, he tends to say things as they are and my view is that he wasn’t ‘lying’ when he said Lookman wouldn’t be going on Loan. I really can’t see why he would ‘lie’.
I suspect he had no intention of letting him go at that point but it appears Lookman and his agent were forcing the move. With Bolasie and Walcott ahead of him in the conventional winger queue, a re-think was probably had and perhaps a decision made to let him go and get some monies in.
Saying Allardyce was telling ‘lies’ is a very strong accusation.
Speaking sense as always Eggs
Should've said fibs
But yeh, you're probably right.
And I'm not that bothered Lookman has gone out on loan. I just hope it works out for him and us.

Almost as strong an accusation as taking a bung for a speaking engagement when it’s illegal based on your contract. BFS is not an honest man, clearly.
