And with Dembele, well by the looks of things he’ll barley be playing at Lyon, so as much as we’re not doing well, the club should just tell him/give him some sort of deal allowing him to leave in the summer if we do go down. As that’ll be why he’s got any doubts, but if we offer him something like that then it’s a win, win situation, as if he does great and we stay up well he still gets to play prem football, and if we go down and other teams want him then he’ll be allowed to leave. But if we don’t sign ether of them, or anyone equivalent, then yeah we do deserve to go down as we’ve had this number 9 issues for over a year now, and as it’s shown, we’re not like City where we’ve got winger and midfielders good enough to score enough goals to make up for it, so if it still can be sorted after 18 months then yeah we should go down. |  |

Ankersen has fcuked up royally. He had a working relationship with the Genk striker, and should have got the deal over the line before Everton got Dyche in, as he was always going to be his type of striker given his height. Oh well, Andre Ayew; sigh….. |  |

| Vitinha to Brighton, Dembele not keen on saints , Onochu to Everton ….oh well on 06:39 - Jan 31 with 2208 views | mushinexile | Oh, well. That's the pressure off the owners to buy a striker for a bit. Carrots dangled, money held on to. Parachute payments to balance the books. The fans will still sump up because we own them. Doubles all round. |  |

If it’s any consolation the Everton fans boards are having the same meltdowns about missing out on players who they are set to miss out on, never heard of but have excellent you tube clips. Today is going to be a lot of 🤩 |  | |  |
| Vitinha to Brighton, Dembele not keen on saints , Onochu to Everton ….oh well on 08:42 - Jan 31 with 2018 views | UlsterBaz | The fact of the matter is that a decent centre forward should’ve been brought in last summer. Along with not sacking Ralph last May, and subsequently appointing an unproven manager at this level, it is that fact that will see us relegated. SR are now scrambling about on the final 24 hours of a January transfer window looking for a life belt. We are clearly a much less attractive proposition now being bottom of the league making it much harder to get a forward in. I’ll be surprised if we get a decent deal over the line today. |  | |  |
| Vitinha to Brighton, Dembele not keen on saints , Onochu to Everton ….oh well on 09:29 - Jan 31 with 1920 views | grumpy | If we fail to bring in a good Centre Forward this Window we will be Relegated. We don't want a winger Sitting at the foot of the table and desperately thrashing about in the transfer market is embarrassing. We deserve to go down and hand over the reins to Brighton. Think small be small. Tired of it all now.............. |  | |  |

It seemed to work for them in the last transfer window as much was made of the stories that they tried to sign Gakpo and Goncalo Ramos. Let's face it, these stories, which usually generate a feelgood factor among the fans, have just about got them through another transfer window without signing the striker the fans want.

| Vitinha to Brighton, Dembele not keen on saints , Onochu to Everton ….oh well on 10:13 - Jan 31 with 1807 views | DorsetIan | I don't follow the logic of SR not really wanting to buy a striker. If they are about anything, they are about stats, and the stats for Adams, Armstrong and Mara are woeful. I'm still hopeful someone half decent will be through the door today. |  |

| Vitinha to Brighton, Dembele not keen on saints , Onochu to Everton ….oh well on 10:21 - Jan 31 with 1785 views | mushinexile | I, too expect someone half decent through the door. Almost certainly on the way out! |  |

It's not that they don't want to, it's just that A) They don't want to pay the going rate for a proven striker and B) Their policy is to buy unproven 19 and 20-year-olds like Mara, who they hope will have enormous sell-on value. If I were them, I would go all-out and spend the £5 million it would take to bring Cho Gue-sung here. He's still cheap enough and young enough. The alternative would be an old-timer like Arnautovic at the end of his career and I can't see our club going down that route as there would be zero sell-on value. As for another Championship striker, I'm not sure about Gyökeres. Would he be an improvement on Adams and Armstrong or about the same? It's hard to say. [Post edited 31 Jan 2023 10:28]

I wonder if their stat computer factored in how attractive is it to play for NJ as a coach. Maybe they didn't consider this when they hired him. He's hardly going to be a big lure. They need to get very clever with some ' get outs' if we go down...and stick a big wedge on the table. |  | |  |

Re: Gyökeres... I've seen quite a bit of him and personally I think he would be. He is much closer to Broja in terms of his strength and the way he's happy to take defenders on directly (and from a long way out). He seems more accurate than Adams and Armstrong too. But Cov have just got a new owner and it wouldn't be a good look for him for his first act to let Gyokeres go. Cov not as strapped for cash as they once were. |  |

| Vitinha to Brighton, Dembele not keen on saints , Onochu to Everton ….oh well on 12:09 - Jan 31 with 1556 views | TimSaint | Dembele didn't want to come to us when he was previously linked with us. Looks like Marseille have gazumped us on the guy from Braga and do we honestly think yet another Championship striker is the answer to lack of fire power ? |  |
