    You would think wouldn't you... About a week ago he was saying he was happy with our options though.

    He is not going to openly say that he doubts the ability of his strikers with games coming and hard and fast.

    Puel backed his strikers to do the job, but they have severely let him down!
    That's what I believe, anyway.

    He has to. He can't just say Long is a headless chicken and Jay can't see the net.

    Yep. And the fact that he's now hinting otherwise is probably the surest sign that we actually have something in the works. Managers all take a different approach to these things, and whereas Koeman was pretty blunt, Puel has been exceedingly cautious and oblique in his statements thus far. If Koeman made such a statement, I'd assume that he was pushing gently but nothing was likely to come of it (contrasted with his "pushing hard to increase pressure", which we saw last winter, and Everton's board saw a few days ago)...with Puel, I assume it means that offers have been made and we're expecting an addition.

    Interesting game of slowly, slowly, catchy monkey that should be re-named slowly, repeatedly, highlight a potential target to other clubs looking for strikers....!!

    Hardly a goal-machine is he? Currently it looks like we need someone who when he gets a chance generally buries it....like Charlie Austin....

    Any ideas on other potential targets eg. Haller?

    Or is it all eggs in one basket?

    We will always be looking for more then one player. Gabbiadini is first choice, but we don't want to pay the £22m they want, as he is not worth that

    It does seem a lot. Though I imagine all European teams are trying to sting PL clubs due to the money.

    Are we in for a CAM too?

    Ok cheers. I bloody hope so though <laugh>

    Can see A LOT of unhappy fans if we don't get business done. Still fairly confident we will though.
