I don't know either way. But I didn't speculate that we weren't when devoid of any information as to what is going on behind the scenes. You speculated that we aren't doing anything but as you said above, that's a guess. I wouldn't say we are when I don't know so not sure saying we aren't when you don't know either is wise.
But we won't be 3 strikers down will we. Grigg can get recalled. We do not have to sell Ladapo or Smudge. We control 3 of our 4 strikers to the end of the season. At the end of the season we lose control of Smudge and Grigg. Ladapo we can extend even if he doesn't want to stay (to sell on obviously). IMO it comes across as desperate when we just have to play the window out. Freddie will likely move on, highly likely. We will do all we can to find a replacement and have him lined up for when that happens. That doesn't have to happen today or tomorrow, you just have to wait for the dominoes to fall. Of course I don't think being 3 strikers down at the end of the season is okay but we aren't at the end of the season. We would have a full summer to bolster so why panic now? That's months away. If we sell and replace Freddie this month we would likely be looking for 2 more strikers come the summer, nothing crazy in that.
We should always be looking for players to improve us, whether that be a striker or anywhere else. We are midway through a promotion chasing season and you're obsessing over the next campaign. I don't think you really think I'd have JJ up top alone next season, obviously not saying that.
Not saying we don't need a new striker but we need the right one, which aren't easily gettable.
MT, we can be 3 strikers down anytime the January window remains open have you thought of that? We don't control ANY of the strikers if their valuations by another club are met, that's the point I'm trying to get across. Personally, I think Ladapo's agent is being a tool and has rocked the boat with the Freddie farce. The timing is all out on this one for me.
You say we just have to play the window out, no it's not desperate, and I hope for one you are right and no one comes in for Smudge. The way he's playing it, just getting on with things, may well mean he knows where he's going close season for a nice signing on fee and a wage increase, if so good luck to him.
Ladapo - ''We will do all we can to find a replacement and have him lined up for when that happens''. According to KerrAvon that just doesn't happen my friend. You can't just walk into a shop and choose another one so, your point there is wishful thinking if you think it's as easy as that.
''We would have a full summer to bolster so why panic now?'' You're over glamorising my words, I've never used the word panic only you. As for bolstering through a full summer, we are very well known for NOT doing that until the barrel is almost empty.
We both have different points of view on this and I totally respect yours so, let's just leave it at that.
Still think we should try again for Kyle Joseph (Swansea -been on loan at Cheltenham). £500k would probably get him (what they paid Wigan). Just what we need and still only 20.
