If we do sign a striker......

Imagine the grief he'll get if he doesn't get a hat trick in his first game

 

Imagine how funny it’ll be when he’s as bad as the others

 

We've created stacks of chances in the first two games and only scored a flukey deflection and Pines header in open play.We don't want to be five games in with only a handful of points.The board need to spend a moderate amount of brass on a striker now and not in two weeks time!.

 

What about the Pines header on Tuesday?
I do agree though, we’ve missed some sitters.

 

When people are demanding Watters back

 

Forgot about Pines header,edited.

 

I never thought I’d be living in a world where Little old Bournemouth would be paying over £40 mill for a player…..unbelievable on 11,000 crowds

 

One week to close of window. I think it's worth the wait if we can get the right player in. But as always, it doesnt mean to say they'll set the world on fire. Players that succeed at other clubs sometimes fail miserably and vice versa.

 

It’s two weeks to it closing mate I think? Sure I saw August 30th mentioned somewhere.

 

Sorry D. Thanks for putting that right I'm a week in front of missen lol.

 

Can you tell me the lottery numbers for this week then lol

 

Unfortunately there’s an inevitability that this striker chase is going to go to deadline day which will cost us points in the games leading up to it which is frustrating

 

Seems like DKD isn't too likely anymore then?

 

Agreed,we can't be waiting around.They are going to have to spend some brass and get a quality striker for this level asap.

 

He’s not really a striker, we need an out and out front two

 

I'm sure we will sign one striker, probably two or one that can play wide too.

I think if we can get those signings made to a good quality, we've not had a bad window. The question will be who do they offload to balance the squad or what happens if a good bid comes in for Connell or Phillips.

 

Even if it goes to deadline day it’s incredibly unfair to blame the club, they couldn’t have envisaged needing to replace both devante and mcatee this time last year and are having to scramble around as quickly as they can to find a good replacement and credit to them honestly.
If I was a striker wanting to get my career either on track or back on track I’d think we were a pretty attractive prospect, almost certainly going to play in every game and heaps of players that can set you up nicely if you know how to score.

 

They should absolutely have envisaged it. Cole was coming to end of contract and Mcatee was on loan. Stupidity not to envisage it.

 

I did wonder if he was being sarcy there, to be honest.
But if they/the owners think they can play that game though, and claim they didn't see this situation coming a mile off...

 

DC has said he wants 2 strikers, a 10 and winger.. let's see who arrives.
