... got that bit tougher as along with Everton, West Ham (lost Bowen and Antonio), Arsenal and probably others in need of a striker, Bournemouth now lost Evanilson and Unal in the last week.
More established PL clubs possibly vying for the same strikers we might want won't help us as good as KMc is.
I hope this is someone in advanced talks behind the scenes as we really need stronger option(s) to back up Delap by the time we get to the Brighton game. |  | | |  |

Is this a roundabout way of saying Delap is off in the Jan transfer window???? |  |

No its saying lots of other PL clubs are competing to find strikers as well. A week ago Bournemouth wouldn't have been but they will be in the market for 1 maybe 2 now. | | | |

I was being alarmist  | |

They'll be in a different market to us though imo, we're kinda in the 15-20 mill pot, where as those mentioned probably will be looking at the 30-40 plus |  |

I'm sure the usual suspects will be calling out Ashton and McKenna when we haven't got a 20 goal a season forward through the door in February |  | | |

I don't think there are many different striker markets in the January window. | | | |
| The striker search ... on 14:10 - Jan 8 with 4960 views | ElderGrizzly |
I love us, but respectfully we are shopping in a different catalogue to Arsenal.
I think of the others you have listed, all are probably only looking at loan deals for either financial or other reasons, where as we can and should be looking at a permanent signing.
That could bring us into a completely different market. |  | | |

Probably, but one like Ferguson I am sure we would have looked at and thought maybe we could do something but with other options like those he is unlikely to choose Town (if we bid).
But something sensible like you say won't stop an element of our fans calling out that those are the players we should be getting and missed out on so must be MA fault! | | | |

100% I'll be having a moan if we haven't got a striker come February. Dear God. Any town fan wanting town to stay up will be expecting a striker this window. Its the bare minimum requirement. [Post edited 8 Jan 14:18]

Yeah sorry shouldn't have put Arsenal in there really, but in the media some journos are (probably incorrectly) linking us to players with clubs at that level which is just nonsense.
I am probably trying to set expectation to myself not to set hopes too high this Jan! | | | |

Think you can omit 'if we haven't got a striker' |  | | |
| The striker search ... on 14:18 - Jan 8 with 4799 views | hype313 |
Both Bournemouth strikers are only short term injuries, Bowen is back next month, we aren't competing with Arsenal for a striker so I wouldn't worry about too much competition.
And if you were a player looking to develop, would you choose McKenna or Sean Dyche.... |  |

That's what I thought not short term. And won't Evanilson be out a while? The Bournemouth fans I have seen commenting on social media were wanting a new striker when it was just Evanilson injured. | | | |

Broken foot for Evanilson. | |

Hold fcking on, you saying we’d not be allowed to be pissed off that another window passes without us bringing in a striker, a position we so massively need help in…?!
The reason we need one so much is we failed to get one in in the last window. |  |

To be fair - getting one in would actually be a shock. | |

We were interested in Ferguson two years ago and signed Hirst on a permanent contract instead. |  |

There is a real danger we are going to overpay for someone bang average.
The talk of Haji Wright or Adebayo seem to be where we will be ending up.
Maybe Southampton will have a fire sale and we get Adam Armstrong |  | | |

Grow up you bloody child.
Clearly we will be doing everything we can, but there will be many many clubs wanting the same thing.
As the OP said, it's going to make it hard, it's not Football Manager.
Seriously you must spend your life disappointed unless you are lucky enough to get whatever you want in all walks of life. [Post edited 8 Jan 15:02]

It's a 'sellers' market.
Given the bigger Clubs are in - it will drive 'all' prices up.
We can't afford to pay over the odds but we can't afford to not sign a striker. | |

Yes I hope we don't massively overpay for someone.
I can see us getting a loan signing in from somewhere. However that is likely to be from a "bigger" team than the Champiosnhip. | | | |

Hopefully none of our targets are listening to Don Goodman displaying his total lack of understanding again. |  |
