Goalscorer

Hang on, we’re conceding left right and centre, our goals for is comparable to anyone but the top 2 and you’re insistent that we need this mythical goal scorer? Look at how many we’ve conceded against how many the others around us have conceded - that’s the problem

A lot has been spent on Kalas, Palmer and DaSilva plus Afobe's loan fee can't have been cheap.  Our wage bill must be getting quite large and whilst paying £10m for a striker is one thing, paying him 40 grand a week for the next 3 years is another.

I want a proper striker up front as much as the rest and hope we can bring in an improvement, but financially, we have to be realistic.

I would respond to the 'goals scored' argument that a more talented striker would occupy opposition defenders more and make their lives harder, in turn affecting the overall performance. 

It would give us a focal point up front, making the build up play more deliberate and less likely to break down. 

Regardless of how many goals we have scored, a danger man up front is a key component part to any successful team, and we currently don't have that. When we have all the components of a balanced side, only the coaching can be culpable.

If we trim the squad we should be able to pay the wages .

We have players like Adelakun, Watkins and Wright who don’t look like making the first team on a regular basis .There’s probably 40k in wages there . 

There are others like Szmodics, Semenyo and Bakinson who could go out on loan .

Would expect those three are more like £25k per week but certainly agree that’s being wasted.
