I don't rate them too high either, agreed on that.

But I don't rate / don't know how to rate Newcastle forwards either.
You seem to suggest that Wissa is so much better than our strikers.

Wissa last season in Bmouth - 19 goals 3 assists ; by end of season he was 28
Solanke last season in Bmouth - 19 goals 3 assists ; by end of that season he was 26
And after that he joined Spurs and across all comps did finish last season with 16 goals and 8 assists; so total 24 goal contributions. More than in previous year.

Regarding other striker option, yea, Richie has been bit of dissapointment overall. Agreed. But despite that he has 66 EPL goals scored.
And for us 28 goal contributions in EPL within 3200 minutes; so goal or assist for every 114 minutes.
While Woltemade is 100%unproven in EPL, it is last season Fullkrug moment all over again. He was supposed to be massive hit too.

So all I am saying is that their options MIGHT not be that great.

The other is a Bundesliga striker who scored 12 goals last season who they paid over £70m for, if we did that...

Another pathetic hyperbole.

Remember - Solanke played for the same club. And did better than Wissa.
Is younger. Home grown and better overall play.

Only Spurs fan would claim him being worse than Wissa.
And the other lad is not a striker and have not touched the ball in EPL.

Gosh some are pathetic here...

Solanke played for Bournemouth.
Wissa played for Brentford.
You should educate yourself before chastising others.

Feels like an emergency signing due to Solanke.

Annoying as the LW needed fixing

You're right. But if we wind the clock back to June. Ange just sacked, new manager not yet appointed and I asked you what needs fixing I dare say most people would have a long list of positions.

Almost as if we were that bad last season that the fix would be more than 1 window.
We do need a LW and unless Savinho's position at City changes we probably won't.

But if we get out of this window having strengthened RW, CDM, CAM, ST then that's a successful window IMO.
 
Just as a thought... Why is no one in for Guirassy... Another one I been wanting for 2+ years... Still banging them in for Dortmund... And yet nothing... From anyone?
