It’ll be difficult to get a top quality striker in Jan but I do think if we want to genuinely compete we need a goalscorer. DCL may or may not make it but he’s not there yet. Kean will need another season probably. I would say CM is a priority closely followed by CB in Jan.

I dont see the point in signing more than one or two players tops unless our number 1 priorities are available, and that's usually very unlikely.

Tosun and Niasse don’t count as strikers. Both should be jettisoned out of the club in January.

I actually agree completely and ALMOST put 3. But I wanted to make it as blindingly obvious for Senior Dave as possible. You know how he likes to take little things and turn them into things so big they remind him of that mole on his left butt cheek.

They have potential, I don't think anyone would argue that. But to suggest they are near the finished article or they could compete at the top of the league. That's conjecture, look at the table. Now look at it again. It's doesn't lie.
Half a billion spent on promise. That's what we have. They're not youth academy players, their basically outcasts from teams above us who took they're chances and let them go. Or massively overpriced. Don't kid yourselves, maybe that's all we could get. To call that they are the "best defenders" or "forwards" is absurd.
They are what we have to work with, period. If they can fulfill their potential, well that would be amazing. If not Ancelotti will bring players in. And I'd take that bet over Brands anyday. We have to stop hemorrhaging money. And get a return.

Think that’s very sensible really, except the readymade players need to be better than Williams, Walcott, Sigurdsson, Tosun and Bolasie. We have enough potential in our squad, we need a few starters now in those midfield positions.
Tosun is an oven ready turkey.

Whoever we sign needs to fit into the managers formation, Not like the last 2/3 managers and DoF’s strategy of buying players with no idea how they fit into a system, We’ve had square pegs in round holes for years now,
Average players get found out, when asked to play formations they’re not familiar with
4:3:3, 4:2:3:1
No wonder we’ve gone backwards.

His overall play is appalling. He jogs aimlessly across the defensive line, makes no forward runs other than for a long punt, his link up play is poor beyond a simple 3/4 yard lay off, his shooting from outside the area nonexistent, his heading ability questionable (most are poorly timed and end up bouncing harmlessly off the top of his head and out or into the arms of the GK).
A goal every now and again on average doesn't sweep all that under the carpet.

Annoying how Leicester and Wolves have gotten their recruitment bob on in recent seasons whilst we have floundered.
Traore
Jimenez
Neves
Jota
Maddison
Tielemans
Perez
I also guarantee alot of the boo boys on here would moan had we tried signing most of them as they werent big names.
Its why if you have a system in place you can sign a Ings or an Ake and build a good side with the right manager and set up.

3 years without a proper striker with the likes of Niasse and Tosun up top have lowered fans expectations so much that DCL is actually seen as a good striker.
Imagine should we sign a proper striker like Jimenez or Werner, Belotti etc would blow their minds seeing an actual striker playing.
