How on earth can we only have one senior striker

What a joke of a club

Poor owners, poor sporting director, poor coach

Hell in a hand cart we are all going to hell in a hand cart

Well the winter evenings must just fly by in your house Waveney :D Or should I call you "Mad Steve"?

Has it been hard sitting on your hands during our recent good run?

Yay Waveney!

But on a serious note yes, it is pretty shocking we are down to one, currently useless, striker. Im not sure theres another club in the football league with that situation!

Think it through. We have to sell before we buy. We sold a striker last week. We are getting two or three new faces in this week. Join the dots ;)

Still a big risk though because its the January window.

£13m for Brady felt like a good price, until it cost us £7m to replace him because clubs don't want to lose their better players in the middle of the season.

Can we recall Carlton Morris in January if we haven't landed anybody by the 31st?

I'm pretty sure we will have someone in by then. Farke has said that Murphy can slip into the role (as seen in our false 9 formation in first leg against Chelsea) and theoretically once he pulls his finger out, Marley can play there too. I think any striker who plays in our formation is going to struggle to score a lot frankly. I don't think we can recall Carlton, but when he is back in the summer I certainly don't see him as a first choice option, more likely about 3rd.

Morris isn't exactly setting the world alight in the 3rd tier, so I'd be surprised if he makes the squad next season. I don't think he's Championship standard, and with an even more trimmed down squad there will be less room for passengers. As far as Watkins is concerned, for someone who came on a free, think I'm right, to be showing an attitude problem, is ridiculous. Wouldn't be surprised if Farke doesn't bin him. If he doesn't want to play for us or can't be ar sed to put in the effort required, best he toddles off, and we get someone in who wants to play for us.

In this instance I really dont buy the argument that we needed to get one out before bring in the replacement/s, sorry I just dont. I simply see it as an inexcusable bit of management by the person appointed to handle transfer dealings. NO professional club at our level should ever be left with just one striker in their squad, let alone a striker who very clealy is not interested in playing for us. Even with two strikers we were exposed, there should be a minimum of three decent strikers to choose from as a minimum at a club of our size.............Webber is beginning to look like an absolute amateur !

Absolutely Dubai

It's not just the striker lack of right back etc etc

I understand the fact we have no money but no excuse for such a misbalanced squad

I really don’t get all this “ everything is Webber’s fault “ stuff. He’s sorting out one hell of a mess, he didn’t sign all these players that we need to get rid of, he’s doing the dirty business. How about we see who comes in before the end of the month before getting all upset ? We all know we’re short of strikers, and it might not be ideal but if Marley Watkins had shown a better attitude at least we would have had a bit of cover yesterday.

Serial whingeing and wind up merchants, thats a fair part of the issue. A lot of the rest of it is people who can't be bothered to take the time to properly follow and understand the situation we are in, and the mechanics and logistics of sorting it out. They usually show their true colours and stupidity by calling for a filthy rich Chinese investor as being the solution to everything ;)

Interesting point of view . Let me give you a different perspective. Extreme happy clappers have let the evil stowmarket 2 get a way for years with mismanaging the club and its finances
Had they helped to hold them to account we would be playing in the champions league with the Messiah still at the helm.

To be fair I dont think Webber has done anything too difficult so far.

Weve not been particularly successful in the players brought into the club and we've got rid of good players (not difficult) and the less good ones we've only managed to ship off on loan and get percentages of wages paid. Its hardly been an incomparable achievement so far.

And like OR said, I dont think being left with one striker is planning ahead. The CJ transfer had a week just in the public domain so I reckon there was at least a fortnight in advance to get a striker in. Even before that should have been done as soon as we knew Pritchard was off.

So far Webber has done about the minimum required and not much more. Hopefully another full summer will help.

Ah Morty you can't handle the strength of my argument or the nuances of a reasoned debate. Ban away if you can't handle the intellectual debate

Come on mate, you're just here to be a bit of a tit, maybe other forums are better suited to your "debate"?

I have a differing view to you, my point is a fair one, I haven't abused anyone, threatened anyone etc etc

I thought you better than other forums but if I can't post a reasonable point (people are agreeing with me) then so be it. I will leave this forum with immediate effect
