To me that sounds like they are not wanting bring anymore in in my opinion we’ll see what happens "I still think that we need to strengthen the squad and they understand that too. We're all on the same page. " Was it this bit that made you think that? No it was the “I’m on at them everyday bit”

Just don't think we need another inexperienced forward. I see He's not a complete rookie but not played at this level much so there is a risk there I'd prefer him than sign any old Championship striker though If we end up with him I think it's fairly certain things really haven't gone to plan.

True as the plan is clearly for Cannon Or Stansfield However any transfer plans should have a list and Al Hamadi looks a reasonable loan option ,going by his goal record and his reputation looks a much better plan C than was expecting

Does Ipswich signing a couple of strikers free up Ladapo?

You need to hang your head in shame after some of the comments you’ve made this week. And if you hadn’t noticed Koumas wasn’t central tonight he played on the right. No hope 🙄

No hope 🙄 I know he played on the right tonight but imo he should be played in the centre, I'm convinced he'll get 15 to 20 goals this season and should start every game if fit. We've got 2 decent wide players in Manhoef and Junho.

We've got 2 decent wide players in Manhoef and Junho. We’ve got a very good striker as well if you feed him the ball in the box. He’s not a hold up striker, he’s a goal scorer from inside the box. Takes up good positions and finds that little bit of space that good strikers can.

Ryan Mmaee, coming back from a bad injury, in a cup game. He's not going to run around none stop all game. I thought he did well, good link up play and finish for his goal. When he gets up to match fitness and has runners around him I could see him having a really good season. I would take a good finisher like Mmaee all day over a player that just runs around for the sake of it like Ennis. For me it’s clear as day that he’s technically very good. Weeks behind the rest of the squad due to not having a pre-season. Like others, once he’s up to speed I think he could be perfect with the likes of Bae, Million and Koumas around him. This is the problem folk on here tend to forget he’s been out for ages injured and is just coming back…he’s played about 90 mins in around 6 months or more🔴⚪️

I think we need to completely abandon the Stansfield transfer now, he played and scored for Fulham tonight which means he would be cup tied if we signed him.
That would mean him missing the 3rd round, 4th round, Quarter finals, Semi finals (2 legs) and Final and I think we could use another striker to come off the bench in the final just to clinch it.

The best thing that could happen this week is Josh Laurent going.
I don’t even particularly dislike him but he’s an automatic starter who often makes us a poorer side.

Got showed up last night didn't he. He's too slow for these lads. By the time they've made their run he will have just had his 3rd touch and finally getting his head up.

El-Hamadi on a permanent would be interesting, if they wanted to pull back some of the £100m they've spent? Although would be slightly odd if they got rid after 6 months. It would leave them with quite a few young, expensive strikers ahead of him and his path to minutes looking pretty blocked there

Good finish for the goal but I’d expect anyone to be scoring from there.

Going by his performance wide left at Carlisle and wide right last night he's clearly excellent in all 3 positions I'd say wide left looks his most natural position but more than happy to see him play full stop 'shunted wide' is what happened to Asaba,Cresswell and Greenacre And to Linekar by Cruyff Koumas wide is the opposite of that, he's a pacy dribbler, he's clearly a threat wide

He’s played in all 3 forward positions in his very few Stoke games so far. I doubt very much CF will be his main position whether we make a signing or not.

If Burnley sell Foster, they're going to be another club in for strikers, aren't they? Hope they don't sabotage us. Al-Hamadi wouldn't be the worst move for them

If he’s not going to start Burger and Sidibe we need a good CM so we’ve got better options than who he’s starting at the moment.

Not sure about timeframes but in the Middlesbrough match preview Pete Smith had him down as having a back injury.
