A striker maybe. 

If you mean first team players, then no. Prospects like the Russian kid included then yes.

Auba looks off as Barca have now registered Kounde and Xavi likes Auba.

Gordon won't happen, Everton and Frank have made that quite clear and we don't appear to be linked to anyone else.

we need a midfielder and a forward.

Ziyech/Pulisic either needs to be better than their current form or be let go either on loan or sold. 

A striker would help a lot as Broja is still raw as a Top 4 level striker and Havertz is out of position.

Need to bring in a quality midfielder because we can't have Jorgi play every game and Kante+Kova is injured every other week. Gallagher is still raw, Casadei and Chukwuemeka(sp?) is untested.

I think we will probably get Aubamayeng and then that will be done for the window. Not sure if we will get Gordon, I'm still 50/50 on that.

Sign a striker and we call it a good window over all. No Gordon please, if he's the real deal we could always go back to him in the next window.

I do think we desperately need to sign Auba. We can’t go through the season with Kai - good player but there’s not enough goals in the team

We need a striker end of. Havertz needs to play as an AM, not being stuck up top where you lose most of his game.

Instead of faffing around over Gordon for silly money when TT wants him as RWB cover we should have kept it simple for an average back up and gone for Walker-Peters, Justin, or Max Aarons and then weighed in properly for a striker like Toney that we can also use in the future rather than pay over the odds for a 33 year old that we don't know can do it here any more

Still think we will get Aubameyang too, and that will be it (Fofana and Aubameyang). Not a bad window in all honesty, we've spent an absolute fortune too. 👀

Zakharyan will be confirmed.

We could have done with a striker but I didn't want us to sign Arsenal reject Aubameyang. Yes he would score goals but at what cost? A 33 year old taking his big wage to go out and enjoy the London nightlife? No Thanks.

Even more glad we seemed to have dodged a bullet on Gordon. Hopefully means we will see Broja get more minutes.

We simply have to.

Without a new forward the season is over.

5th place at best.

We simply don't have enough goals to compete with City/Liverpool/Arsenal or Spurs. Over the course of the season.

If Aubameyang does not happen. It wouldn't surprise me if we start seeing Ronaldo rumours happen again.

Striker and a midfielder should be our priorites.

So far Broja has not been able to complete an hour anywhere during pre season onwards where he is not injured. 

In a team full of shot shy midfielders who just shunt the ball sideways, if we do not buy a striker that knows where the goal is, this season is already done.

I don't care if he is 15 or 45, can he put the ball in the net. I don't care what we are paying him to do it, we are paying numerous midfielders hundreds of thousands of pounds per week and they couldn't hit a cow's ar$e with a banjo.

We can't have another season of pointless ball shifting, gutless responsibility passing, and a team bereft of any idea of how to advance the last 25 yards of the pitch and hit the onion bag.

I'm in my mid fifties, so if i am lucky i have got about another 25 years in me. I can't write off another year watching some of the abysmally stagnant performances we saw last year.

Just sign CR7 and stop f**king around.  You know he can score goals, and the cross from Reece, he'll just bang them in and at least take shots from 20 yards and not 10 feet. Who cares about pressing, we don't press very well anyway.  Although I suspect TT will want him to play wing back no doubt.

I went for yes, but I don't think a first team player (yet).  My money is on Zakharyan to round out the quality prospects of Chukwuemeka, Casadei and Slonina

Auba is the only true #9 under 34 who MIGHT be available. We probably won’t break into his house. Coach likes him. Todd has moola. They’ll hold their noses and hand it over. Good insurance for a top 4 finish, which is the real goal this year.

Doesn’t seem like FDJ is on the market. But again, if he wants to be paid, we’ll pay him. Be a good buy if so.

My sentiments exactly. If we can get him to half his salary, we gonna have a credible goal scorer on our hands. 

Yes, I can see another signing between now and the transfer deadline.

Need a striker.
