You have saved the money for the defensive midfielder. Now you must spend for a striker with goals and skills. Solanke and Richarlison aren't good enough.

Mate, after just having had my second prostate bore out and having had four colonoscopies, I don’t think I’ve got any powder left, dry or not.
Oof.
Hope you’re all good mate
There aren't many great strikers on the market. Sesko, Woltemade, Openda...these could be some names.
I think we will persist with solanke and richy for this season.
Top wide player for the LW position is what we need most.
Unless we have a buyer for Richy, I doubt we’re signing another striker.
Or, given Levy’s managed to cheap out again and not pay anything for the #6 we must’ve budgeted for, do we go back to Forest and throw say £75m at them and see if they change their stance on MGW? Probably a lost cause, but if he’s the #10 Frank wants for the way he plays, we should’ve went harder for him.
Stating the obvious but we need a striker bad goals will be a problem . I personally think tel won't last long and Richy needs to go to an Everton again or someone like that.
Would much rather know the defense & midfield is fully equipped.
LB & and a MGW alternative please.
Personally, I think we need a LB, a #10 and a Striker and if one of the latter 2 can also play LW, perfection.
Sounds like what happens after you’ve been tackled by Romero
Well yes. But looking at how things are shaping up and the cm collection we have i think we might be done in that area one palhinha is signed.
Our maddision rotation may well be in the form of a slightly different setup with Frank opting for a more industrious midfield 3. So bergvall or sarr in the advanced role. Giving more freedom and licence for our front 3 to focused on attack and creation.
We need a lb option of coarse.
Odobert for me has really top potential. But if you sell Son you need another winger and Malik Fofana would be a top signing: he is ambidextrous and can play on left and right.
As creative midfielders you have Maddison, Kulusevski and Bergvall, they are good players but you could add another and El Khannouss is a top talent.
But the real problem is the striker. I agree: i don't think you will sign another, but this is a mistake: you lack goals. Solanke can be a squad player, not a starter for a CL team, sign him for 65m was a mistake and you should accept this.

Would be a great addition. Loads will turn their noses up at him but experienced,a winner,fit lad and brilliant about the dressing room. Great back up option.
odobert and Tel play on the left, not sure if the club is gonna go for a third option. especially another young one like Fofana
Solanke being written off too early for me
I thought he was one of our better players last season although that doesn't say much tbf

I'm a big fan for his work rate alone. I think he would be a better player if we had more creativity in midfield.
We are not signing a left winger. Tel and Odobert will fight it out. Kudus will start on the right with deki and Johnson as back ups. We need a left back,striker and Eze. We might get one of those at best. We can’t rely on Richy and Dom to score goals regularly.
I like Dom and he’s a warrior but he’ll never be a regular scorer. I’d gamble on Vlahovic. Big strong physical type who knows where the goal is and needs a new challenge.
Sometimes it just doesn't work out for players in a certain club \ league, its a risk of course however its a loan, and if he can have a season like he did last time he was in the PL it will turn out a very good deal, if not its just Timo mk2
