In this window?
I’m not sure it will happen and might have to settle for playoffs again my fingers are 🤞. |  | | |  |

I don't think so unless another backup/one for the future. Not a solid starter. Which is a shame.
Not writing off our league position just yet though! |  |

I'm sure a deal will be made for a loan player tomorrow if we can't line up a suitable permanent signing. | | | |

I'll be amazed, and fairly disappointed, if we don't sign another striker. |  |

Would be a massive shame if this season p layed out and we failed to achieve promotion but it must be a lesson learnt if that is the case. | | | |

Let's be honest.
Despite people saying you can't be critical
If we don't sign an experienced striker by the end of the window it's been an absolute fk up by the recruitment team.
Yes I know. Reasons. Excuses etc.
But still stand by the fact that managers don't get saved with their own excuses/Reasons. So neither should the people tasked with doing this Job. |  |

Agree - would be unforgivable to cone through this without a solid no.9 coming through the door. Have faith in the leadership but the silence is deafening! |  | | |

I haven’t thought we would for a while. Unless something unexpected happens, I suspect that’s it as all our public targets have been ruled out for a while. |  |

We're a very attractive place for players and/or loan clubs. If we can't get our primary targets it's for reasons out of our control, as we all know, but I don't doubt we'll have a queue of options (probably mostly loans now).
It's just a question of timing as to when we jump on a deal which is available to us at the expense of the hope that one of the targets higher up the list might suddenly become available. I trust our team to get that timing just about right, and we'll end up with, at worst, a decent option. Because we're attractive. |  |

I'm sure we will get someone. I suspect it will be a loan. Hopefully an experienced striker rather than someone like Scarlett back but if that's the only option I would take him.
It would be disappointing though unless Hirst is making a dramatic recovery and returning early which looks doubtful. |  |

I’m guessing we will get a loanee in as I don’t think a permanent striker worth spending what budget we are allowed to spend that would fit exactly what we want is actually available.
It would be disappointing if we don’t get someone in but we are going to be better off not getting anyone in then getting the wrong one in especially on big fee and wages. Loan would be lower risk |  | | |

That makes sense. I hope you're right. Ideally we get somebody with Hirst's energy and strength so that we can continue to press teams from the front. | |

The lesson can't be 'spend more in January if ever in the same position again'. Maybe it would be the importance of establishing an overseas scouting network, but doing so would reduce the overall transfer budget and is far from a guaranteed success. Maybe it would be the importance of completing the hardest business in the summer, but it's likely we're hitting the same financial walls now that we hit back then.
The lesson is probably: assembling a top-two-capable squad inside FFP limits is ridiculously hard without a substantial player sale or two. After that it just becomes very hard. No chance am I giving up hope if the window does prove unsuccessful (i.e. we finish with what we have now). Realistically though, pomotion is a big ask even if we can turn the window into a success tomorrow (senior striker and full-back cover). | | | |

Yes, famously very little gets done on the last day of the transfer window. |  |

There's about 28 hours of the window left. More deals happen on deadline day than any other day in the transfer window. Let's not throw in the towel just yet. |  |

Regardless of what happens now, none of it looks well planned and within our control
The recruitment team have failed imo
Can we get paul cook back and he can head up that department. He can pick a player, or even Neil | |

Is it credible that top-half Champ pedigree strikers simply cost more than we can afford (especially in January)? | | | |

It seems MA loves talking big but this is the 2nd window which he has failed if we don't bring anyone else in.
Can't blame McK, I bet he's just as frustrated. | | | |

That's like saying at 1 nil down, with 10 minutes to go that whatever happens now this match is a loss even if we go and get 2 goals in the last 10 minutes.
Withhold judgment until the window closes.
Do you really think that every player we target or have interest will say yes?
You plan for players or clubs turning you down. The idea is not to hang on for a no hope deal, of course, but as long as the loan options are quality, then a good loan is good January signing as opposed to a panic buy. | | | |

Well this is a depressing thread.
Shows how strong some people's faith is in a club and structure that has seen us on a huge upward trajectory, one which has probably made getting new signings to improve on where we are a very challenging task. | |

If we can't get someone worth getting we should give Buabo a chance. Better to develop him than waste our time with a loan who isn't good enough. |  |

Probably because the last few windows haven't ended on a positive when it comes to strikers. | |
