    It’s another one where even if we did generate the funds I don’t see him picking us over them. They are more established now and have a better chance of staying up. I think we will be shopping in different markets

    Wonder if the final Giminez bid actually goes higher. Just because it’s a record fee for them it doesn’t mean they will agree to a sale

    Yeah I don’t think there’s any chance even with the fee, but just shows the level that supposed relegation contenders are shopping in

    We just soent £15m on a striker, why do people think we are looking for another?

    Because we don’t look like scoring goals and people haven’t accepted that the striker we signed is our only striker business. I think mainly because 15m for a striker is considered peanuts

    And because RM said that we're looking for more support in the attacking third.

    And because we have signed a striker who does not remotely suit our system…

    And because we’ve been playing BBD on the left for which we have limited other options, know Adarma can’t play the solo striker role and that leaves us with just Archer and…Stewart.

    We wanted 1 before Mara went, all we've done is replaced Mara.

    I hope this is how it’s being viewed. It’s just difficult to see a huge outlay coming. And there aren’t as many loan options as people seem to assume

    I'd be fuming if they aren't planning to bring someone in, We've needed a player like Pelle for years.

    As the above said, a diminutive poacher is nowhere near what we need.

    We need an actual 9 that can replace Che and bring others into play

    I'm waiting for Russ to tell us Ross Stewart is close to being ready. Should get 10 minutes out of him in October and again in about December and all our striking problems are solved

    3rd choice behind First choice Striker and Archer fingers crossed.

    He did, but he was evasive over what position that meant.

    That will more than likely be our biggest outlay of the window so don't get your hopes up.

    We don't look like scoring because we played 5 defenders and 3 CMs that offer nothing going forward.

    That doesn't mean a striker. We have Archer and Stewart as out and out strikers plus BBD and Arma too.

    I think we are more likely to bring in an attacking mid or wide player than striker
