    People can argue all day long about Wilson being the striker, but few seriously expected a loan signing to be what we brought in once we sold Clarke.

    The vast majority were expecting a fee spent on a starting number 9 this week. The club obviously were planning that too as they bid for Cannon and Simic that we know of. Not getting a starting striker in tonight would be a failure imo.

    A big positive if he can play those positions well.

    I think the days of 1 position only players are fading fast

    Isidor is a ****ing CF man haha. 68 games at CF and 33 at LW. This good season he had at LW he still got more goal contributions when he played upfront that season.

    he also played 5 games for Zenit this season already all at CF and scored 2. Just because he CAN play on the wing doesn’t mean he will be

    Because he's a centre forward, he actually tells everyone what position he plays in his interview
    "I'm a striker"
    They're his exact words

    nailed it.

    whether isidor is a striker or not is a pointless argument. (He is).

    The point is that we’ve since sold our best player and seemingly aren’t using the money in a meaningful way.

    I will say even thought I’m worrying we didn’t have a clue about Mepham until this morning, we could have a striker that’s not been mentioned yet

    Christ, this Wilson carry is like O'Nein all over again.

    He can / can't play in that position because he is / isn't an [insert position here]

    This! They can spin it all they want but they can’t pull the wool over peoples eyes and if no one comes in for a decent fee there will be questions asked! Still time but twitching now like a rabbits nose
