Think Tosun would be a good fit Well he’s Turkish so we can always loan him out when scores 2 in 38

The Tosun 'link' seems to come from the lowest-of-the-low EFL Hub - so think we can forget that pile of crap!

Sure, but I also think Long does have a good assist record (without looking it up). .....................Games...PPG...Goals...Assists...Minutes PlayedShane Long....526.....1.37..115.....63........29766 Sam Vokes.....496.....1.40..110.....28........27053PPG= points per game stats aren't everything but re Long - that's got to be a no hasn't it?

I don’t see the hype about him to be fair 5 more goals in 32 more games, yes a lot more assists but we will be playing 1 up front.

Why's Dwight Gayle only played four games this season? Is he injured?
If his wages are a FFP issue, I suggest committing monumental fraud by signing him onto a zero-hours contract as a second job at Bet365 as a "creative consultant" and paying him £50k a week or whatever to suggest a new colour scheme for the brand's logo. Meanwhile, he can play football for us for a quid a week.

Yep but by stats Vokes is the better striker, just We obviously need someone better than either of them And as confirmed by MoN in latest presser -we won’t be getting another striker in - no one out there that’s available that we would want and there’s a load of players that need to leave that no one wants to come in for. They’ll be more of Vokes - sooner we get used to the idea the better

He also said that there aren’t really any strikers available and tricky to get someone worth while this window.

Connor Wickham?
Another one returning from injury so may not be that sharp, on loan at Wednesday back end of last season where he scored 2 in 16.
Way down the pecking order at Palace and been linked with loans to Bristol City and Birmingham.

He also said at the start of the window it would be really difficult to get players in and we've signed 3 already with a fourth seemingly in the bag.

We've learned his sort are complete shite. 2 in 16 for Sheff Wed is woeful.

Although MoN famously won't be able to please all then people all of the time, with the DEF & MF he should now have enough to mix and match and still rock up with a decent side.
Up top however, that just isn't the case.
Fletcher is a great addition but will have to be a lot more durable than he has been thus far and, being Frank, isn't the merciless finisher we crave.
Gregory is out but for my money can stay out and, hopefully, be shipped out asap.
Powell as a false 9? No thanks.
Leaving Vokes ... and leaving him sticking out like a sore thumb as a weak link in attack.
The theory that with two new and amazing wide men creating chances left, right and centre, even Nello could bang them in is just that: a theory an not one we should subscribe to.
If we can (= if we have any money left), we need to chuck it at a finisher.

The problem is that we now have two incredibly speedy wingers and a completely immobile centre forward (vokes)

I'm amazed that Prem teams are considering loaning out any decent young players when they might need them to cover for Covid absentees.
