How many in, How many Out

I'm going for 3 in, 2 out

Eduoard/Ntekaih, Hughes, and someone ive never heard of

Out, Benteke, Kelly

Er.. Benteke has recently signed a new contract so he's going nowhere. Which, in my book, is a shame. A handful of improved performances last season led to this. Prepare for more frustration and disappointment. We need a young dynamic striker (or two). Big Ben just won't cut the mustard.

Evident to all and sundry that we need a proven striker or,as predicted by Talk Sport,we are down this season.

One player probably not a front man so for the umpteenth time we will go into a season without an in form striker.

I just don't see us signing 2/3 in 5 days.

The club is obviously pursuing a striker.
I’m wondering why we didn’t compete harder with Southampton for Armstrong .
It was widely reported he was coming to us and that we were his preferred choice.
The reported £15 million didn’t seem excessive for a young striker with a good scoring record and one who possesses attributes our other strikers don’t.
Did we opt out over price or because we have a preferred option we’re going to unveil in the next few days?
Hopefully it’s the latter because the lack of goals from our current striker options means we’ll have to keep a lot of clean sheets to accumulate points this season.

Can you say that with certainty?

Vieira has said we are pursuing forwards in a number of interviews and I have no reason to disbelieve him.While some of the speculation is no doubt generated by agents it would appear we were in for Armstrong and are also considering Nketiah amongst others.
Having said this, I can see how supporters could be sceptical about some of our transfer dealings over recent seasons when we have failed to get players over the line.

Thought we should have matched Saints terms offered.

Tried to get him on the cheap but look like will pay over the
Odds to get Hughes

Dolberg?

I hope that's why he signed a new deal so we can hopefully get back some of the 60m he has cost us with mostly dross

A couple of years ago Ayew was our player of the year and scored one of the best goals I have ever seen at home to West Ham. He clearly is good enough to be part of our squad.
Mateta - I suspect you are right but its a loan so we have no obligation to buy.

We do need a new striker but who that would be I have no idea.
And yes we do need a creative midfielder. I would argue we also need a pacey right winger.
