Dominic Solanke

Kroupi is injured I believe and I'm not convinced we should be spending £100m on someone with 2 good seasons (1 in the PL), yes he could be the next big thing that we miss out on but we need something who's more of a surer bet if there is such a thing.

Kroupi has been back the last few weeks, often as sub. He's not injured any more...

The wrong call last January was keeping Ftoss in charge
That was the crippling factor
Now we have big boy decisions to make on certain players
Solanke would be one
Arguably Maddison too

It was both, what should have happened is his removal, plus all out for RDZ, plus more re-enforcements than just Gallagher.

There is no decision re Solanke, he's done for us, no world he suddenly turns it around. If there are options in January to replace, deal should be done.

Maddison, Udogie, Deki, Gallagher, Xavi, Odobert, Tel, all should be given till the end of season to prove their fitness and ability to impact the team consistently.

There are people employed in the club, for who, that is exactly their job.

Whether you or I know of a good striker that's available isn't the question, clearly Kroupi was our #1 target, did we keep talking to his camp? did we tell them we were coming back in January, what was our plan B? is our plan B still available, who is on our young prospect list? If those things weren't in place at close of last window, we certainly should have been working on it since then.

If this club is anywhere decently run, they should have a plan, targets and budget all lined up and the initial conversations should already have been done.

Jordan Rhodes it is then
