Chamionship strikers dont cut it in the Prem. Gayle, Adams, Solanke, Maupay, Brewster - all recent ticket buys, but with terrible goal scoring records.

Play to Benteke's strengths, develop Rob Street and David Omilabu, look for good developing talent elsewhere at a reasonable price.

Will be interesting to see how many goals Armstrong and Toney score this season.

So are you suggesting we don't have any more to spend or what? Yes we've not received any funds for departed players but we have reduced our annual player wages bill by at least £10m.

The fact that we are clearly looking to fill at least two more positions suggests there is still money available, although one of those positions might be filled with a loan if we can get one.

Simple fact is the players we binned off held no market value whether contracted or not! All +30yo’s and the only way we could get on them off the wage bill was to let their contracts run down. I really can’t see why you are unhappy about this??

Dann, Cahill and Wickham still don’t have clubs yet. Speaks volumes about the lack of interest from all clubs. No wonder given their age, wage demands or injury history.

Think we have had a brilliant window so far, 2 solid centre backs was the most important, young flair in Olise, and everyone seems to be neglecting the young talent we have already at the club..
A quality midfield player like Anguissa would suit us, and a wide player(Nelson).... Feel the only striker we should be chasing is Edouard,and our coaches know if that is feasible 👍

Our strike force was lacking last season and the obvious reason we scored so few goals. Currently we face the same problem. Not signing Armstrong is a mistake and one that will cause Parish to heave and sigh.

The argument that ‘we didn’t create’ in midfield is only true to a limited extent. The reality is that last season was plagued by fluffed striker chances and a lack of speed and positional awareness in the box. Benteke has very heavy slow legs and has his pocket picked at most close quarter encounters. Sorry but you know it’s true.

The beatings will stop when morale improves.

Absolutely agree with your statement,we are being our usual try and save a few Bob and barter,always costs us in the long run,we need a decent striker,and this guy would have done us,big mistake!!
