Why one spot. People constantly posted here that we'd play one striker as gospel for years. Rlb then switched to 2 up top. We need strength in depth and options to switch how we play.

2 most important things, keep ball out of our net and put it in oppositions. We've untried options, May need one more who is a more bankable striker.

Yeah was thinking the same, especially as Isador is currently injured, and would imagine Abdullahi will go out on loan

Nowts ever good enough is it. Four years I've been on the SMB and for four years you post the same thing. We're not going to get a "proven" striker man! Just like we weren't in the championship!

Or by having a pre season and training sessions…. We aren’t going to throw a new player in that’s had no pre season.

You said game time, none of those things are game time with his new teammates. If he's good enough he'll be fine.

We’ve played one real striker most preseason ain’t we with diarra off the front in the games I’ve seen. Can’t see us going two up top in the premier league even if we do we already have three plus the lad in the u21s.

Nice guess but unless your rlb you can't say that. We went with 2 recently and it worked. Even with one injuries, suspensions and the ability of our current options to play wide leave room for someone to come in and guarantee goals. Something we'll need to stay up.

Wait and see. We were told we wouldn't spend on a 30 year old and look what we did this summer.

We've largely only really had one fit striker all pre season though. Let's see how it pans out.

“We need a 15-20 goal a season striker”

Sick of seeing this. Literally talking haaland, isak and one or two others. They don’t exist anymore and the ones who do are completely unattainable.

We haven’t like we’ve had the young lads in the bench too. Reggie likes three in the middle just can’t see him changing that more than the odd game and we have three strikers already a forth would be over kill. Unless we go for someone who can play across the front three.

Logic won't stop the same lot shitting on about it. This poster has had this notion in his head since we got promoted from L1 man.

If you look at the premier league , only 19 players scored over 10 goals last season
