If the Edmundson and AAH deals go through and there are no further signings, then I assume the plan is to deregister Ogbene and our 25 man squad (plus 3 x U21s) is complete.
I guess if we do manage to sign a striker, then our options are:
1. Send Slicker out on loan and sign an U21 keeper or promote Henry Gray
2. Sell Woolfy or loan out Harry Clarke
I'm pretty excited about our squad for the run in, although obviously we're short of a third striker. |  | | |  |

Of the options you've listed, I think the Harry Clarke loan is probably the most likely - a regular run of football to help him get back up to speed after surgery is going to be difficult here with Axel, Godfrey, Johnson and Burns (even O'Shea) available for our right side. |  |

H. Clarke should go on loan for his own career. He isn't going to get any playing time here now, unless we have a massive injury crisis. At his age he needs to be playing regular football. Maybe a Swansea or Portsmouth type loan would be good for him. |  |

Would like a third choice striker but would be happy with our squad if it didn’t materialise.
A lot of clubs are looking for a first choice striker. | | | |

If no one else comes in, then I am happy enough with our squad. Would like a bit more experience up top, but if it ain't out there at the moment, best to wait for another day. We have plenty of options now in the front 4 positions. Keep Delap and Hirst fit, then we are ok. | |

In an ideal world another GK and central midfielder for me but incredibly unlikely I would have thought. |  | | |

Option 3 is we have our eye on an U21 striker. Ryan Oné has been mentioned.
Looks like Harry Clarke will be going out on loan so that seems the most likely scenario. Especially now we have our 2 PL loans, the chances of getting a good PL ready young'un with the pedigree to play now is very limited. |  | | |

We have goalkeepers. For me it’s a strong central midfielder that can link the defence to attack - what I thought Phillips would be. And another forward. Somebody that could do a similar job to Moore. I doubt any of that’s possible, even if that’s what KM wants.
It’ll be interesting to see what business, if any, they do over the next week. |  | | |

Yeah we have goalkeepers but are they good enough premier league goalkeepers, I’m not convinced. | | | |

Yes. I saw Onana put in one of the best goalkeeping performances against us I’ve seen in years. A week or two later? Errors. Goalkeeper is a very exposed position. If a midfielder loses the ball, as ours does a lot, nobody really notices.
The problem with our keepers is as much a team problem in that we spend most of the time without the ball. They’re ok in my view. Other areas of the team concern me more. | | | |

I do wonder whether that first role is what we've hired Enciso for. Reverting to four at the back (perhaps not against Liverpool, but thereafter) with him in the middle running a line between Morsy/Cajuste and Delap, providing a central link to complement our wide attackers. |  |

I’ve not said we were. Said I would like one in an ideal world as I think we could do better there. | | | |
