HomeSteak the way Villa is moving makes me think the striker transfer is still open to us. The only possily available striker who will be better than Watkins over the next 18 months is Isak. If we have 80% confidence we are getting Isak, we should stay away from Watkins. If we don't have certainty over an Isak move, we must take Watkins now.
IF Watkins is actually available to us, not taking Watkins now so we can wait 6 months for a kid like Sesko still leaves us short another top forward who can contribute big numbers immediately. Because I would be surprised if Sesko unseated Harvertz immediately

tel on loan with an option would be decent business. don't really want us dropping 60m on him

edit - forgot we cant actually take on any more loans. we must be exploring a permanent transfer

    Gazza M we can't take any more PL players on loan. Can take players from other leagues.

    Qwiss getting both is a pipe dream. Tel wouldn’t join if we signed Watkins anyway as it would seriously affect his mins.

    It’s one or the other. I don’t care who, just close one of them.

    GooneriC score vs United 14 minutes after you posted this
    Onana is abysmal

    GooneriC said we should get him last week, too. Just scored against Manure.

    60 hahah

    Spurs getting rejected by everyone. Not that we can laugh...

    Tel’s faulty logic must be “Zirkzee and co are so shit that I will definitely play”

    In case you couldn't Tel, we clearly don't need Watkins if we can beat City 5-1.

    We need a killer in the box , that completes this team

      Gyokeres isn't an option? I wonder why

      This performance would have made us even more attractive to potential transfers... And tamps down the immediate cries for a new striker, so teams like Villa know we can afford to pull out of negotiations if they are being unreasonable.

        Kai still missed one of the worst sitters I’ve ever seen.

        This result doesn’t change anything. Let’s not get complacent over one game. If anything it shows we can still do something this season and even more reason to sign a striker.

        27 hours left. Let’s not fuck around. The feel good factor of today can be evaporated in one single day if we don’t sign anyone.

          RowJimmy what you on about. If Liverpool win their game in hand they go 9 points ahead of us. This is probably the 1st or 2nd time this season we won 4 games in a row (in all competitions). We must get someone tomorrow.
