The new rule also emphasises the need to get some strikers in before the window closes or I fear we will struggle to make make any real impact this season. That's not negativity, it's simply pointing out the obvious after a mixed start to the season to date
We have IMHO been encouraged by the solidity of the shape of the team and how we have restricted all opposition teams we have played so far. This just needs to be matched at the top end off the field and it would be a shame to waste the talent we have elsewhere in the side
Ironically, I think I'm amongst the minority that thinks Fred will eventually become a valuable player for us, but right now he needs help and (as a striker) Pilkington and/or Lahore aren't the answer

So that's 4 at least especially if le fondre, Dikgochoi and
Macheda go.
Busy week

Annis personally I would be looking at Ched Evans!
Natural goal scorer who wouldn't take a lot to buy out
from Chesterfield and will only get better with fitness.
Trying a loanee won't work and the 2 we have at present
are work in progress.

So the wealthier clubs can just stockpile players instead? I'm sorry, this gives an advantage to the bigger clubs, as the smaller clubs can't afford to carry 25 men squads.
