Any free agent CF's? I'm already looking forward to The Sentinel dragging up options when the window slams shut. Danny Ings probably when he gets released from West Ham and doesn't take a deal before the window closes.

We could do the whole Dwight Gayle thing again, last time I looked he was without a club and hadn’t announced his retirement. What’s the difference? Knows the club 🤣🤣🤣

It was tongue in cheek. And goes to show along with all the other excuses on this thread that we are run about as well as a local youth club and it's getting extremely boring. Not sure what can be expected. We gone from a squad that struggled for goals for the vast majority of last season and we’ve lost far more goals that we’ve added. What could possibly go wrong?? Lost far more goals than we’ve added 😂😂 You will have to explain that one to me unless you think we have sold our “own goals” contribution. If you are talking Campbell and you are thinking Koumas won’t score more than 3 then you are taking the piss.

Are Stoke still at FFP limits? I assumed you were in a much better position this year and could spend a bit?
Unless that was last year?

I'm thinking Campbell 3 Cundle 5 and Hoever 4 we've lost who all scored goals in the championship last season and we've added a players who scored 3, 2 & 0 in the championship Gallagher, Moran, Koumas. That's 12 out 5 in by my reckoning.

Get what you’re saying, never been a fan but his goals record is impressive. Getting more injury prone so would fit our model of recruitment. If he’s available I’d certainly chance it Would I have him instead of Gallagher? Yes. Would I have him aswell as Gallagher? No.

They weren't actually anything to write home about but they're significantly higher than those of the players we've bought in in the attacking third.

You've absolutely no idea how many goals Koumas will score, how many games he'll play or what position he'll play them in it's all just blind faith. I mean we can go back a further season if you like but the numbers only get worse for you.

They weren't actually anything to write home about but they're significantly higher than those of the players we've bought in in the attacking third. Except Koumas who is scoring at a rate that will get him 20+ goals over a season using statistical analysis of the same quality as yours. That is without accounting for a full rather than half season for Million. Of course another striker would be great but Bae, Koumas, Million, Gallagher and Mmaee is stronger than we started last season and will do a job. Our problems are right back, possibly GK and most definitely midfield where we don’t seem able to find a combination. It is no weaker than last season but just doesn’t work. Hopefully Pearson and Bosun can fix it

I know it’s frustrating for everyone, but we can’t judge until the window is closed. If though the striker situation isn’t sorted by the close, then someone needs the book throwing at them. Whilst we have to be realistic about preferred targets, having no contingency plan for second, third and maybe even fourth choice is no excuse. They could however pull something miraculous out of the bag which is why we have to be calm until the close for whatever outcome is coming. Time will tell.

Hopefully Pearson and Bosun can fix it So using a sample size of one game produces results of the same quality as a whole season FFS I thought you were better than that.

Transfer window doesn't apply to free agents as there is no transfer generally bad business as with Clark last year

There's remaining calm and there's not forming an opinion of the progress to date. I still expect something pleasing to happen.

At this rate I'll be surprised if we sign anyone. Maybe Seko or Cundle on loan if we can get rid of a midfielder.
Long season awaits.

How can we possibly compete?? I doubt they’ll be paying any significant fees at all. They shouldn’t be in competition with us for any signings but as you saw on Saturday they can still compete with us on the pitch with ease. They have the best manager in the Championship by a long way.

Leeds for instance are linked with many but few over the line. We don't really know what's going on and the last day is always the busy one. We signed Koumas and Moran recently so not like nothing is coming off. Have a little faith , baby
