Anything left in the pot - Striker needed

[Ralphie Boy]

Don't know how much Sky money we got but presuming we still had a little say £2 mill from January unspent and with what I think is pretty good business this week, approx what is left in the pot and is it available come January?

Lukaku is a loan and with no real chance of a buy deal we are definitely short of a striker as I think Kone will not be the savious RM thinks, watched all games so far and no one seems to be capable of scoring..

Thoughts?

We can worry about that next summer when Lukaku goes back to Chelsea.

Rather worry about it before then in case the cash disappears on lawnmowers....

It's a very good point to be honest, but I'm looking forward to seeing our new Belgian score a bagful before worrying about that.

I actually rate Vellios - Vellios and Lukaku partnership? I also think that Lukaku partnered with Jelavic and Kone would benefit both.

I don't think Martinez fancies Jelavic much, though.

I don't think Martinez fancies Jelavic much, though.

I don't think its a case of that he has given him ample opportunity to justify his spot rather than going straight for Kone, and to be fair his performances haven't been that bad but in front of goal i would fancy Hibbo scoring before Jela.

 

[Brennan]

I agree with Groucho.

Jelavic is the complete opposite of what Martinez and his system requires from a forward. Lukaku and Kone both show the kind of player he wants.

Nothing left, all gone.

We should have at least 6 mill left of the fellani money plus the sky money that comes at the end of this season . Kenwright said when Martinez came he would give him 10m to spend that includes wages . We have spent 8m of that on 2 players and 2 loans then used 13 million on McCarthy and 10 million on the two loan fees and wages which leaves us with 6 million after Standard liege cut of Fellaini. Logically you would think Martinez would give it 6 months to look at how the squad is playing to see what is needed for the January

I don't think Martinez thinks Kone is the saviour at all, hence why he loaned Lukaku allowing us until January/next summer to bring in a top striker permanently.

The lad is class. One class striker with a couple of average backups will do for now. Not ideal but we're fine with what we've got at least until January.

I wouldn't worry about it at all nothing you can do. Sit back relax and enjoy this season.

...it will all be about prioritisation and that might not be up front come January. Lukaku with Kone and Jelavic isn't a bad group. I suspect Lukaku's signing will take the pressure off Kone and he could be firing by that point.

 

[Whitty]

I'm assuming the 'sky money' that other clubs have used this summer will be available to us next summer? (or at least a good chunk of it).

Hope we use some to sign Baines up to a new contract asap

 

[AAAGGGHHH]

Buy back Anichebe and our problems will be solved im tellin ye

Kone will be decent, honestly.
