Yes, lets get Carroll, Shelvey and goddamn Scott Dann for a full on kopite injection to the squad.

Could do a lot worse than Charlie Austin.

May as well test the waters on him. Wouldn't pay the 15 they want though.

I think Carroll might be perfect, at risk of sounding like a broken record.

Good age, unplayable in the air, out of favour at West Ham, not a terrible touch and a hell of a strike.

Also incredibly injury prone and played for the RS.

It's a tough position to find the right player in but I'm praying he finds a number 10 soon. Even if we had 7 strikers in our squad we'd struggle to beat Watford without a creative midfielder as the template is their for them to copy from last seasons games against WBA, Swansea, Stoke at home.

Good to see that Roberto has his eyes on the exact right parts of the team to strengthen, hopefully some well boss players follow

Weirdly I would.

If that's how much he is then pay it. Worry about it later. And it's not my effing money. Get him.

Oh aye, true that like.

He and Rom would be a formidable pairing up top.

Austin and Lukaku would get a fair few goals, I'm firmly on the bandwagon

Surely it's a bit ridiculous paying £15 million on our budget for a back up striker?

After today I think we should buy someone with aerial threat

Well he's spent 3 mill since the window opened, hopefully he's got a war chest not a Warhurst!

Doesn't have to be a back up though. It's just another option. Lukaku always gets at least one injury a season that keeps him out a bit.

Still got my fingers crossed on Zlatan

True, but I'd much rather pay that price on a winger or a creative mid, then pay a bit less on a striker. Each to their own I suppose
