Leeds added a Brazilian midfielder who has a ton of pace.     Just saying...we haven't addressed our scoring at all.

The only team that's scored less than us after 4 games has been Sheffield United.

I don't care who we currently have under contract.    Cav, Knock, BDR, Kebano, AK47...  in our system, they haven't been good enough for an entire season.

Get in a better player from the Championship while we still can.   Yes...we need a full squad.    We also need one more in our starting 11 that can put the ball in the back of the net.

We need Benrahma and one of King/Grant (probably Grant as he would be cheaper and is younger)

I suspect most people are grateful but many can also see that there are significant holes in the squad. A decent winger and a striker for example because the squad as it is will be light on goals and as you know goals win matches.

Whilst the 3 additions are a big improvement imo they still won't be enough for us to stay up. We have a collective lack of quality and depth offensively. Add Benrhama and King over the next week then we may have a chance.

Grant would be decent,but king would be preferential. Some exciting signings today though if not a striking one

I agree that King would be preferable.

Grant is preferable, as we can afford to keep him at the club even if we go down and he is improving. If we go down without a team that can get up through parchuate payments, then we will be a decade in the championship. If we go down having to get players off the books, then the Khans will just be following the Hull model.

King for me first and foremost, if not Grant, if we can get one of them as well as Benrahma then we are buzzing a lot more than a week ago. If we do not, or should I say if the owners son fails to get these players in, then RLC can push up to support Mitro although that would be a plan B, we also must remember we can only play 11 players at a time.
However Rational Fan this obsession you and your analytic stats unit from the land of the Goblins have regarding IF Fulham get relegated we will have to jump off Beachy Head if we sign him and not him cause he will be cheaper in the long run is not going to establish us as a Premier Dividend outfit.
Managers have not got time for ten year plans because impatient incompetent D of F have to blame somebody for their own shortcomings and these individuals think that dismissing the Manager then the Tea Lady then the Mascot is the only answer.
Do not think like them they are generally not from a football background and will always say if you want to be a successful business man always blame someone else for your own mistakes.

Last time we were in the premier league, Anguissa and Cairney scored one goal between them, so our front three need to be scoring a lot of goals if we are to have any chance of staying up.

If we do not score goals we cannot win games, goals change games, so where are our goals going to come from, we need another striker in the shape of Josh King before the stable door shuts, and ideally Benrahma if we offer enough, otherwise we are toothless.

I think the likes of Lookman and a fit RLC could be of benefit supporting Mitro. to me Cav and Reid have fallen a bit short

junior white

We also have till the 16th to take from the EFL if we feel the need too. PLayers Like King or Deeney for instance can still move

We also have some good young players and Lookman we can use as back up as well

We 100% need another striker...for two years we have relied totally on goals from Mitro. We do not even have a ten a season midfielder.
Reid is a headless chicken in front of goal, which is a shame because his build up play is good. But with our terrible wingers he plays out of position. He is a natural second striker, and could be better. But even so we need another one.

King is obvious choice.Second choice Grant. Both good for us.

Given how little we have actually spent, and could offload about three players easily to the Champs (like the useless Cav) then we should go for goals, Mitro could break his leg tomorrow then what ?  Cav, AK47 will not play now we have Lookman who transformed our attack v Wolves.Cairney can feed him.Abandon the idea of two wingers and play with two up.

Then we will be able to counter attack again, stop the slow build up add a a bit of pace and intent.We have the full backs now for that.
