I do not see any good evidence we have replaced Aneke's 15 goals. And without those 15 last year we would be mid to lower half of the table. "Bodies" alone does not get the job done, imo, if the goal is promotion or even playoffs.
We will score more goals this season than we did last season.
Football isn’t as simple as plugging player X in and adding 15 goals.
Wanna put some money on that prediction? We finished 4th in the division in goals (70) scored last season and I see no way we come close to that in 2021-22. How is a £20, payable via Venmo or PayPal? Very happy to lose that money if you are proven correct.
Go on then, a bit of fun. We can make it $20 since we’re both Stateside!

Lol, no we won't, we averaged 1.52 goals last season, and have lost our top scorer and now play 1 up top

Going for the lesser value amount. I like what you did there. Tight arse.
“Charlie Kirk watched the 1-1 draw from the Main Stand and it is understood the attacker is poised to sign for League One rivals Charlton Athletic with the Addicks renewing last season’s interest in the attacker.”
Afterwards boss Artell said the reasons for the omissions of Kirk and Hoban would become clearer in time.
But he admitted: “It’s been a tough week. Once everything is sorted out we will make an announcement, but nothing has happened yet.”
Surely that’s a good sign? Means we’re optimistic of getting someone better, or at least that’s the way I see it. If we were skint or not looking to pay to bring in more bodies, signing up Madger Gomes would have been the easy option.

That's how I see it. Gomes is the "needs must" fall back option, if we can't get the first choice then he'll do in a pinch but he's certainly not someone we seem desperate to sign as if NA really wanted to sign him, he surely would have done so already.

Think LW was a real weakspot today, Washington went missing at times. We definitely need 4-6 players, 4 minimum.
Hmm, it's moments like this I wish we had access to match stats - as though he may not been super creative when he got the ball in attacking positions - he popped up everywhere and was a big reason Wednesday never created anything of note.

Can't see him supplying or scoring much from LW this season, sorry. He needs to be played down the middle imo.
I'd say 4-6 is right. Would like for it to start with Charlie Kirk, that would be a bit of a statement signing.
Playmaker for me is the other place if there's any budget for fees left that I'd look to spend as opposed to loan . Just think some of these PL loans that have only played U23s can look a bit lightweight in midfield.
Striker I wouldn't mind someone that's a bit like a Leko that can also cover wide . I don't know if someone like an Ellis Simms might still be available from Everton or if he's got championship interest.

Agree with this. In a way I'd prefer to play a 4-4-2 because his movement and Stockley's ability to drop in and hold up the ball feels like it could cause havoc.

I really think we already have DJ. Creative flair that goes missing. Don’t want 2 of those

DJ was frustrating to watch today. Kept running down blind alleys

Yes we do, as a minimum, so when one goes missing you bring the other one on

Striker = ?
