    similar to Jan windows ,
    Clubs know you want a striker, so player that would normally be about 2-5m, for player that doesnt get the minutes, will go for 8-10m as clubs know the buying club is desperate

    Isidore has a better pedigree than Mayenda, so what you're exposing there is that Mundle is not at Clarkes level, which suggests we should replace Mundle? Mundle is the problem?

    Well, we’ll soon find out

    Isidor could be unbelievable but he’s a risk, as any new signing is. I’d be worried if Mayenda and Rusyn were the only other forward options.

    He's pretty versatile. You wouldn't want him starting there every week but RLB has already spoke about him being able to play wide

    Both look good. Problem is injuries

    Aye we haven’t seen Isidor play yet so I’m not ready to write him off as a striker

    I've been on this board for a number of years now and for as long as I can remember the day before the transfer window shuts is Meltdown Day!

    Good to see that nothing changes!

    Absolutely not, but you already knew that

    We need reinforcements up top, it’s clear as day.

    Mundle looks better now than Clarke did when we signed him.

    I’m not downplaying the loss of Jacky but I’ll gauge Mundle in 6-8 games time.

    Isidor looks a cracking signing potentially.

    The front 3 of Clarke-Mayenda-Roberts was immense against Wednesday. 1 game.

    Roberts is the same player, Isidore an improvement, the problem can only be Mundle.

    Sure, as I said, in the post you quoted, I would like another striker, but it's not as desperate as some are making it out to be. That dopamine be hitting good I guess.

    We will get a striker.

    Simple as that.

    It’s just ‘which one?’

    So you’d be happy to go with Isidor, Mayenda and Rusyn as the forward options?

    Fair enough.

    We need 2 forwards imo, effectively one to replace Clarke and another to replace Hemir/rusyn

    Again, I would like another striker.

    But yes, so far Mayenda has been excellent, has 2 in 3 and I think looks to be a big improvement on what we had last season. Rusyn a worthy back up and Wilson isidore looks very direct and dangerous, will probably end up our starting number 9.

    Worth keep in mind we got into the playoffs playing Gelhardt out of position, we now have two good options and a decent back up.

    No excuse for no striker.

    The time is ticking! Are we all in on Tom Cannon?

    Well having Isidore has strengthened us this summer. It's not ideal but it's not the disaster in reading about
    I think we'll sign a CF anyway
