If we don't bring anyone in this window I'd go Trossard Martinelli and Nwaneri with Havertz just behind.
My worry if we do get Ollie is could that jeopardise any preferred signing in the summer? Surely if we did get our "favourite" then Ollie would be backup?

It’s probably a bit of a panic buy and very last minute and only got ourseolves to blame. If we are to challenge, we need to invest. We failed in the last few wi ter windows to do what’s required. If we get Ollie, we are stronger and he’s a decent striker with a few years in the tank but limited sell on value. Would he be a spare part next season? Why not sell Jesus to free up some space and have two decent options. Sell Kai?
Buy Nico, Ollie, Osimhen - sell Jesus, Trossard and Kai. Doesn’t that resolve the issue and strengthen the team a lot…the wages that would free up would be huge and help pay for the upgrades.
If we don’t improve - we are saying once again - we don’t want to win the league (again) . Just my negative opinion.

OK, we do all this, and it doesn't work what's next?

Hi, what’s your point? We could always do nothing in any window. If we do this and nothing happens - at least we tried and showed some ambition while addressing the glaring holes in the attack….

Football like life is so easy when viewed through a fantasy lens where all our personal desires are both possible and so very easily achieved, if only other people had the sense to listen to us.
And the really wonderful thing about fantasy football it's never exposed to the test of the real world so the dreamer can continue to convince themselves that they really do have all the answers to all the problems without fear of ever having to come up with the goods.

Who said we have all the answers but I’m sure we have the brain to have an opinion. Doesn’t mean they are right but if the whole footballing world says we need a striker and our attack is one sided and slow. Surely there is a valid point somewhere. You can’t control the narrative or try to mock opinions with some credibility. Saying we stand still feels more ridiculous than the club stepping up and improving the starting 11…. Do you honestly believe we are in a strong enough position to win the league.

Do Nico, Ollie and Osimhen want to join us? Do Jesus Trossard and Kai want to leave? In a fantasy world they have no choice because in a fantasy world they are merely pawns in the fantasy football game .
Back in the real world it's no quite so easy because players have to want to come, their clubs have to want to sell them, other players have to want to leave and even if they agree to leave other clubs have to br prepared to buy them at a price that would fund the proposed replacements.
