Hello everyone.
Just like to put this out to the Eds and posters.
There have disagreements over the last few days on the site but one thing we all agree on is we need a out and out striker.
Ollie Watkins is 29 this December
Ivan Toney is 29 next March, do you think that giving the transfer fee they would command, giving there ages it might be better to look at someone younger or go for the finished articles in either Watkins or Toneh.
{Ed025's Note - for me Bill one of those would have won you a trophy This season but are not a long term solution because of their ages mate, we all know you needed a striker THIS season but you gambled that you had enough, time will tell of course and if you win the PL then im talking through my arse, but if you dont i believe it was a mistake that this very good side will finish empty handed..

Thanks for your views Ed
Much appreciated.
{Ed025's Note - no problem Bill, i just hope you have enough to get the job done mate, you deserve something the way you have played this season imo..

Hope your right in your hopes Ed025 mate but even if we don't win the league we've had a wonderful ride fir the second season running and this one has been even better than season. Yes everyone wants their team to be the very best and lift trophies but its been a very long time since we were this good.
Personally overall I have no complaints whatsoever.
{Ed025's Note - i get that G62 and yes it has been a great season, i just think you may have missed a trick by not gaining some silverware mate your season certainly deserved it, you are still bang in there though to lift the PL trophy of course but you will have to rely on the other 2 dropping points..but good luck..

Agree with the sentiments of g62 for me we have enough in our team toney and Watkins were both unrealistic targets. Anyone we would have bought in would have caused massive rift at this stage and pressure to perform from the striker would have played a part too. I have enjoyed this season so far and will continue to do so no matter where we finish. That's not to say I didn't want us to win.

Thanks mate, I do agree we need a recognised proven goal scorer and such a player might well be the thing that costs us silverware this season, but ultimately its all about how much you enjoy dance rather just editing up in the right place on the dance floor when the music stops.
If we miss out this time I'm already looking forward to next seasons hokey cokey ????.
{Ed025's Note - its been a great effort mate..

Exactly and we have enjoyed every moment of it. Think about it we could be splashing all the cash and be like Chelsea man u or even tottenham. Enjoy the moment. Trust the process. For me the stand out teams have been arsenal and villa. Liverpool n man city have performed as expected man u Brighton Brentford underperformed Chelsea have been abissmal.
