As I said before to you, it's wages. Always wages with us. That's why they have been working their nuts of trying to ship as much as possible. All has hinged on that.
They cannot let us down this time. It will be unacceptable and a real shame if we miss the boat and waste this terrific start to the season

Reactions: Random lad
Also, and I promise I’m not trying to sound “I told you so”, as I’ve kept saying today, the fact no concrete links to any strikers have happened today, other than the young lad, was worrying to me. All the signs are pointing to no striker coming in and I think it was nothing other than blind faith and hope that there is.

there’s a difference between the club talking to good players and actually being in the process of signing them in the real world
Worrying. Really worrying
 
In the past we have struggled to offer competitive fees and wages but we are told that this is the sustainability model and that is fine. They have (effectively) £20m sitting in the bank to get a striker. It will be unforgiveable if they fail again
exactly even the owners are great crowd can't defend it surely
 
Sorry overreacted they’re not useless. All of our best striker targets we keep missing

orban was a target

We have missed them for about 3 windows now it's embarrassing how we cannot decide or secure a goalscorer. Even worse we have money behind us and still spent very little. I hope I am wrong but like our managerial search we are now onto 4th or 5th targets and will end up with a 13 year old Peruvian for the model.

but what does that mean tho? Haaland could be a target but there must have been some willingness to come or some ability to afford the move, so be interesting to see why these deals don't happen.

Cannon, Mendy, Simic, Orban etc, can't bag one, yes they're all at different levels but still
 
Is there even the slightest credible rumour of a striker other than that Gent kid?

Surely something would have to have leaked now for it to be close? People say the club keeps it's cards close to it's chest, but we've known of the 2 supposed midfielders for days and Mepham for several hours at least.
