Agreed, don't think strikers were a big issue. Defence is where we need significant investment if all else stays the same.
To be perfectly honest I’m happy with our forward options
think Fabio could feature more this year
and hoping for an improvement from waghorn
Except all else won’t stay the same. The club have been clear that one of our better players has to be sold this summer. If it’s Vik or COH we are then short of attacking optionsAgreed, don't think strikers were a big issue. Defence is where we need significant investment if all else stays the same.

I think Waghorn may come good this season, he is working hard and its there for everyone to seeThink we’ve got to just hope Walker and/or Waghorn step up this season.

We tighten up at the back , we can quite easily finish towards them playoffs with our current midfield and forward options .. we need 2 quality centre halves as a priority unless we sell an assett then the priority changes
Which is probably the problem the club has tbh
All worries aside .. won't be too many clubs in the top half of the championship with 4 strikers to choose from as good as gyokeres , godden , Walker and waghorn
It's not the forward line that needs work

Waghorn will go later in the window I suspect. Sounds like he wants to play. I desperately want Walker to do well. You don't score the amount of goals he has at League 2 and League 1 without some strikers instinct. Unfortunately I struggle to remember 1 game he has played well in. Be amazed some top League 1 team or a promoted team wouldn't consider him a risk worth taking.
So weird isnt it - just fucking enjoy the little insights otherwise we just won't have them anymore.Why are people so obsessed with trying to out them?
Then sign the cast iron replacement first, might keep the price downA delicate balancing act when the finances are so tight and we have been scooped by clubs with more money already this window. Players who were previously persona non grata need to be welcomed back to the fold if there are no takers.
Any of the big 3 to be sold must only go if there is a cast iron replacement waiting to sign.

it's not different though is it, if they were different that would be fine.This is the sort of shift people pull about the championship when they glory hunt or the rest of the PL when talking about the top 6 and is exactly the bollocks that brings a super league around.
American sports fans are different. So fucking what.
Walker & Waghorn? Yes - other top half clubs would surely be drooling at the thought of having them in their squad
Can’t do that without the cash

We will pay a seventee-eth of his wages on a season long loan (€10,000p/w)
A player I'm surprised we haven't been linked with is Naby Sarr. Left sided centre back seemed to do pretty well at Huddersfield and now out of contract. Being linked with Birmingham and Reading. Pretty sure we were credited with an interest in him when he left Charlton.

It makes a huge difference, especially with the way we play and play out. A right footer naturally plays it behind the left wing back who then cannot go forward without checking back first. Watching Hyam at LCB the season before was painfulAs much as I agree it was nice having JCS last season I think you can over estimate the importance of having a natural left footer. With so many teams playing 3 at the back you pay a premium for them too.
Exactly this. McCallum first touch from Hyam was always back inside into traffic.It makes a huge difference, especially with the way we play and play out.
