We still lack a true goal scorer. That was a major issue last season, remained one all summer, and is still one now, with 12 hours left before the window slams shut (copyright Jim White).

The lack of a recognised GS is a massive concern now it really is. I love Marmoush, wanted him for ages, but I don't think he is an out and out striker and you could see with his intelligent play dropping deep then the presence on the box is not there. I get that RDZ might like the false 9 etc, but I only think that takes you so far.
It's a valid complaint but we was never going to be able to overhaul everything in one summer, and quality no.9s are hard to come by.
I would like to think that with our improved attackers, plus RDZ system being embedded, and having Solanke and Richi be on the end of chances created we should get a decent amount of goals still. Yes they aren't the best strikers in the world, but in an attacking team with plenty of chances created I would expect them to score an appropriate amount to tie us over until next summer when our focus should be on a very good CF....

How many teams have a "recognised" goalscorer? Modern football has changed massively. City do, sure.
Arsenal? No
Man U? No
Villa? Not really, Watkins i guess.
Liverpool? No
Chelsea? Pedro yes.
Saudi Sportswashing Machine? No
It's not a requirement if your midfield and wingers provide the goals. Our issue has been the injuries and lack of options in both midfield and wingers.

Good point (although Liverpool have Isak) I’ve been thinking we surely have to sign a striker today, but you’re right that the PL is changing. However those teams have players with more goals in them than ours.
Just not sure Savio, Marmoush and Kudos have enough goals in them. Think we’ll still be playing Solanke or Richy (or Tel) as a 9.
(FWIW I’d be pleased if we get Mudryk, low risk gamble and he can def score if he regains his form/fitness)
