Weird that nobody seems to be talking about the need of a striker.

A striker or a wing forward that can score and create.

That Adebayo from Luton might be a cheap option. What I've seen of him, he looks decent

I genuinely think adding a striker is okay, but get the team to the point where we are missing 3-4 chances a game rather than 1.
A good set up makes a striker look better. A bad set up makes a striker look worse. Adding a good striker to a bad set up is like adding a beautiful rosewood steering wheel to a shitcan car.

I think recently with McNeil and Garner both out, and Mykolenko and Young as full backs we’ve had no over lapping full backs and no one that can put a good ball into the box. Add into the mix that Ndiaye is the only player comfortable in possession and trying to create anything and it probably explains a little as to why we hardly ever score or even seem to create good goal scoring chances these days
Calvert-Lewin obviously hasn’t covered himself in glory with the likes of that horrendous miss the other day but I think if you would have replaced Dom in the last 16 games with a better finisher, whoever that guy may be probably wouldn’t have scored that many goals as hardly anything has been created
I think one good attacking full back and a pacy right winger would be enough to at least see some sort of improvement in the team moving further up the pitch and creating more goalscoring chances
Chilwell and Nuamah if that’s a possibility would surely improve us

Watching united, who are crap, last night and one of the big things that stood out was - pace and one v one.
Lots of times the likes of amad or Anthony or garnacho ended up in positions Harrison ends up in, but they are able to run at the fullback and hit the byline.
Let's get some lads in who can hit the byline and dink it in.

I’m not getting good vibes on this Nuamah deal tbh - if even the YouTube highlights reel is underwhelming then he must be pretty poor - you can even make Harrison look good on highlights reels.
He’s scored four goals in like forty games so not like he’s going to contribute to our lack of goals.
Seems a big risk for almost twenty mil

Looks like we’ve missed out on Haarland again, he just signed a 9 1/2 year contract with City.

There’s an issue with the app where if I type numbers the post messes up like that - I keep trying to write the numbers as words but forgetting sorry

Seems Doku-esque to me, which isn't a positive. I guess he might at least open up space for the likes of Ndiaye.

In his career he's scored 20 goals from 59 league games, with 7 assists. Mostly in Denmark like but he can score for sure.
It's a risk because he's young and that but he's a super talented guy who hopefully will add pace, dribbles and shots.

Caught offside but for what it’s worth

Everton are preparing to hold talks with Chelsea over potential loan moves for Kieran Dewsbury-Hall and Ben Chilwell
