Id yet again rather go to Belgium, Netherlands and Scandinavia and see if there is any forwards we can poach there. Dregging through top british clubs academies is starting to reek of desperation after blowing our budget on a keeper.

We went to Belgium for a Scandinavian record signing and he goes from being shit to ok in the eyes of our fans from one week to the next. What's to say that it won't happen again?!

Mbokani with Antwerp looks worth a look. Top scorer with 24 in 36 last season and has the added effect of weakening Beerschots rivals. But, he's 34, and poor PL record whilst with Norwich and Hull in 2015-16.
 
We could do worse than asking if one of martinelli or nketiah might be available on loan if we are in discussion with Arsenal.
 
Have we still got them buckets that we used to have a whip round for roverum at Lane. Let’s get a whip round started

This lad is better than nketiah he’s just behind him in terms of age and the fact he hasn’t signed a new deal means he won’t get first team chances

If it's this guy or Brewster neither are proven in the league we are trying to score goals in. I'm baffled we haven't signed 1 player that will walk into the team.

Which proven Premier League striker who scores goals and is going to walk into our starting lineup are you planning on signing with our budget?

Unproven Ollie Watkins just went for £30m. Signing a proven Premier League striker either costs a big transfer fee, massive wages or both.
 
Is this our plan b? Maybe we’ve hit a wall with Brewster or Crystal Palace have popped us to it

Better than Nketiah on what basis?

I don’t rate nketiah as a finisher he works hard, presses well and gets into good positions but I think you’d agree we have forwards already who do that. I know he’s scored lots of goals at youth level but at this level with better keepers and defenders he is currently wasteful. This lad is more skilful and a better finisher now nketiah might be the better all round player long term but right now his isn’t a skill set we need where as this lad has the skills but the question is can he adapt to men’s football. Balogun carries the ball well from deep with the ball at his feet he has a trick in his locker and a good feel for where the defender is in tight areas he can also finish really well off either foot he’s someone who’s skill set we don’t have in the current squad. And rumours are he isn’t going to sign a long term contract at arsenal because he wants first team football to force himself into the USA national side so he ticks the good attitude box.

Arsenal under 23 striker played for England and USA at youth levels scored 25 plus goals for the last three seasons and was chased by Brentford last jan arsenal said not for sale as they hoped to tie him down to a long term deal which so far he’s refused to sign in search of first team football to further his international ambitions. He’s a top prospect at youth level but it’s a gamble if he can covert that to men’s football. He’s unproven but our only chance to get him would be now if he goes elsewhere and shows he can do what he does at youth level at senior level he’s way out of our price range. People say we should’ve signed Deano rather than loaning him well this is a chance with a high quality young player.
 
That's the problem when other teams see how poor our goal threat is. The prices for strikers go up.

Sounds like he'll be off to Germany then
 
If true...and a big if ...3m LOL do we really think Arsenal are going o sell a 'prospect' for 3m ? This is 2020 isnt it amd we are in the premiership ?

All we do is alert all and sundry he might be available. The sooner we get a striker tje sooner we can all stop looking at these threads and enjoy a more stress free day !
 
It would appear we are playing with very limited funds....and/or we are just being stupid frugal (emphasis on the stupid). That being said, i still cant believe we nabbed Bogle/Lowe for 7m.
 

The old McCabe trick put ridiculous low bids in for players knowing they’d be turned down, somethings never change
