In an ideal world 2 strikers: Valmir Sulejmani (Waldhof Mannheim) on a permanent and one of Rushian Hepburn-Murphy (Aston Villa)/Niall Ennis (Wolves)/Adam Idah (Norwich)/Aaron Connolly (Brighton) on loan 2 wingers: Markus Mendler (Saarbrucken) and Charlie Kirk (Crewe) on permanents. Central midfielder: Mark Sykes (Glenavon) on a permanent. Whatever we have to do to make signings happen (within reason) we should do it. If that means we have to shift players out somehow or Wael has to 'donate' funds then so be it. The squad needs a big injection of quality. Big fan of your optimism but can't say I have much faith that Tommy is jetting off to watch the German third tier in hope of unearthing the next Fabian Broghammer... I'd love us to raid Portugal for youngsters like Andre Almeida (Vitoria Guimaraes) but can't see it happening. Realistically though, would love to see either RHM or Idah coming in. We DEFINITELY need a competent Muzzy-esque winger with some flair and another forward.

We DEFINITELY need a competent Muzzy-esque winger with some flair and another forward. There are enough staff on the books to go and watch a game or two in the German 4th tier. Will Dubey has his German connections and considering both the players I mentioned have played a number of games in the Bundesliga he might already be aware of them. I think both players would be better value than players of a similar quality in this country for sure and could even be worth big money to us in a year or two if they perform how I know they can. Edit: Alternatively, they could pull up all Sulejmani and Mendler's games from the past few years on Wyscout and see if it is worth going over to watch them in person.

Obviously a striker would be nice, but we will just go out and get someone in on loan. We should and hopefully I will be surprised, go out and buy someone in league below or conference that is scoring goals.
I also think there are players in midfield that need to find some form,there is too much inconsistencey. I would also like the club to be ambitious bring in 28/29 Yeah old commanding midfielder who wins the ball and can make a pass.

Don't disagree but I'd imagine they aren't given we sold Ellis and plucked Payne/Bakayoko from the list... I'm with you on this though, I'd like us to broaden our scope and maybe go for some Europeans rather than bargain-hunting the football league. MIGHT be cheaper. Worst case scenario is one or two don't work out but worth a shot at least if nothing more.

I'd settle for two strikers, one permanent and one loan.
I like Ashley Nadesan on loan at Carlisle till Christmas and out of contract at Fleetwood in the summer. I'd be tempted to put in a bid, he's hardworking and quite fast for a big lad and might still be in our price range.

I think a striker makes sense.
Other than that I’d like us to concentrate on what we have. I feel our sluggish start has been partly due to breaking in too many new faces. The players are picking up now. Adding several new faces isn’t always the answer.

We won't fork out for a proven goal scorer that's Dam obvious.Probably a young loaner who will sit on the bench for the rest of the season.

The shopping list is: 1) three goalscorers 2) two more goalscorers 3) another goalscorer for luck, and in case of injuries/sending-offs

Gareth Evans of Portsmouth is someone i've always liked the look of. He can play on the wing, midfield or RB and his contract is up at the end of the season.
