I had to google it, list of available forwards...

I've been behind the club throughout a turbulent window, but I have to admit I'm disappointed we didn't bring a striker in.
That being said, overall the squad looks decent and we don't have any glaring holes to fill - we have suitable bodies in all positions.
We still have a largely League 1 defence which will cope well enough as they get used to the new system, providing they can get used to the new system...
Hopefully if the large number of high potential players live up to the hype then we'll be in a strong enough position come January and into next summer, to just bolster the squad with strength in key positions, ie; a permanent DM a quality striker on a permanent and depending how well our defenders perform, replace them as needs be. I'm not convinced they're playing as TW wants them to.
On reflection it's been a good window. Especially when you remember how much dead wood we've shifted and for decent enough fees too. Hopefully the new signings can all adapt to the league and not become another wave of dead wood.
One thing though; Acun and Tan do need to stop overselling as it comes across as a bit naive. Hearts are definitely in the right place.

Ah Gomez we have been linked with before and Niang could probably do a decent job to for a season and Connolly is on there to and he is still only 24 if they could only get him right whatever his issues are.
I would certainly take a look at some of those as they are free no fee only wages.
I'm sticking to my 7.8 / 10 window..
Q. Does Lewie still make the first XI? Giles and Drameh the preferred wing backs? No place in midfield, therefore the bench for the cap.

Don't know Coyle has been great so far this season he has taken really well to the TW style of play seems to relish his surges forward and shooting.
I tend to agree, I liked the look of him last week, even though he didn’t see a great deal of the ball but I thought the chance he created for himself showed some ability and was only thwarted by a good save at point blank range. I also think that the fact that Chelsea had him as a youngster, let him go but then bought him back, suggests that he’s got something and maybe he just needs the right environment on and off the pitch for that to blossom.
If that turns out to be the case, hopefully this is the place that it all comes to fruition.
3-1 up with 30 mins to go and losing is kinda bad thoughRosenior just lost 4-3 over in France, think maybe he's getting a harsh wrap!
Yes I was just playing on the 'I'd rather lose 4-3 than win 1-0' mentality from Acun.
I refuse to listen to this. Is it an apology for putting us all on a bum steer about the non- existent mega striker? I'm still waiting for permission to go to bed.
I think Coyle's had moments where he's gotten forwards off the ball and has been great when he's done it, but in terms of passing forwards from deep and moving into space progressively I really don't think he's been good at all so far.
People talking about not bringing in a striker, we've brought 2 in, 3 if you include Kamara !!! None of us know how good or bad they are, yes it would ha e been nice if we'd have got Canon or the other lad, but circumstances and finances dictated we didn't, it is what it is. From what I've seen of us so far we needed some creativity, hopefully we've got that now with the wingers, and additions, it's now down to Walter to get a tune out of them, let the fun begin. As for thise now suggesting we should have kept Oscar, are they the same who were slating him recently ?
For me at least theres more positives then negatives.

The worst part is some are suggesting Aaron ****ing Connolly. Did they watch him play?
There is a reason not one single club has bothered with him this year. He is gash with a bad attitude. I don't get thise sentiment stuff. Connoly and Oscar we are well shot of.
I agree, to me his occasional surging runs forward look to be born out of frustration with the TW system. It's like he's thinking '**** this passing about and going nowhere I'm off up the field where the goal is'.
Should have kept the ball and passed it around the back 4 for 30mins, job done.
