Spot on. It would be very disappointing if we had strengthened the team to be in a position to challenge the top teams knowing a goalscorer was also a must, and then just fail to bring one in. They've had months to sort the striker situation out, i'm disappointed it's been left this late and if it doesn't get sorted at all, then we have no chance of challenging the top 6 this season.
And there is literally no excuse whatsoever for not bringing a decent striker in.
  • Biggest TV deal ever.
  • European football on offer.
  • Able to offer huge wages compared to other European leagues.
  • Sold Lukaku for megabucks thus not actually needing to spend millions out of our own pockets.
  • Had months to plan and get a deal in place.
  • Have a Director of Football who is supposed to be able to take care of things like this.
 

Last time we finished in the top 4 we scored fewer goals than any other team in the top 10.
And when was the last time that happened? We didn't exactly finish in the top 4 every friggin year after did we? It was a one off, a fluke.. you obviously need to score goals.
 
for what it's worth Perez isnt a bad striker. He's been hard done by somewhat at Arsenal but his strike rate is good and he's got pace which we are are seriously lacking. Not sure he's what we need but wouldn't be a bad signing at all.

There isn't a top class striker who suits us available.

We haven't challenged for anything since 1995.

Two massive reasons there
