Unless we play with a box midfield.

Revert to the box and use Obikwu and Andrews in an crisis. Forwards are not an issue for me

So using untried youth team players isn’t an issue or changing formation as we have to - ok

Well imagine us turning down £4 million for Michael Rose in League 1. Pretty sure we accepted less than that for McCallum.

The reality is robins made a statement he wanted 10 players and I think we are 7 short after that statement was made

As others have mentioned then we play the box and have the youngsters as backup.

I'd rather do that than pay over the odds for someone we don't really want.

yeah ok by me.

All about being flexible. How do you get youth players to break through if they never get an opportunity?

Wright and Simms cost too much to be anything other than 1st teamers, Godden still has a lot to offer. who would come to be 4th choice?

We'd only get filler to agree to be 4th striker. I doubt any team would agree to loaning us a prospect to sit on the bench here.

Why did robins want 10 then and 2 would be a net increase of 6?

We don't want youth players being played as we have no squad players - thats nonsense

Think probably 2 as a minimum. Need a defender and a midfielder. Wouldn't be surprised at loans.

I wasn't convinced with him. If he had been a target we would have moved straight away.

What so take some no hoper like Maguire on to fill the bench on the off chance we get an injury. Nah not for me. I'd take a loan but nobody will send us anyone to sit on the bench. Simms, Haji and Godden aren't shifting to make way for a loan. May as well go with what we have and cross that bridge when we get there.

We have more need for a CM.

Last season Gyokeres was always going to be selected - now we are playing 2 strikers not 1 and last season even with a different formation and a guaranteed striker we had waghorn Walker godden and Tavares making over 70 appearances between them
