Strikers: So Is That It? 18:56 - Jul 16 with 6820 views | DylanP | We entered the off-season knowing that our most important weakness that needed to be addressed in the offseason was at the striker position. And yet nothing. Nada. Zilch. Nobody in. Nobody out. Same old, same old. Maybe Armstrong is a year more mature? Maybe the Dev Squad will throw up a gem? However you polish a turd, it’s still a turd! | ![](/images/avatars/2677.gif) |

Strikers: So Is That It? on 19:07 - Jul 16 with 4142 views | Landshark | This has been the same for the last 2/3 summers at least. Everyone knows it's the issue we need addressing. Unfortunately cheap or free strikers are not easy to find. I'm sure the club are working hard to find a striker but it's not that easy. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Strikers: So Is That It? on 19:17 - Jul 16 with 4064 views | OakR | I suspect we are waiting to see if we get an offer for JCS, or get any Eze money. Whilst we might miss out on a bargain, I think it's worth the risk to see if we can have more to spend as a good striker could really transform our season. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Strikers: So Is That It? on 19:17 - Jul 16 with 4064 views | BazzaInTheLoft | Decent strikers don’t grow on trees, especially for teams trying to respect FFP. No criticism for the club here from me.

Millwall seem to have found one Brizzle City Sioke look like they might have a target We as a club just always seem to stock up on midfielders I’d trust Mr C’s judgement even if it is Manager wants Manager gets. | ![](/images/avatars/4057.gif) |

Strikers: So Is That It? on 01:03 - Jul 17 with 2730 views | DylanP | Obviously, everyone who says “it’s too early to worry” is right, in a way. But also wrong, in a way. Clearly, there is plenty of summer to go. But also. When players come in late in the offseason, they don’t get a chance to train with their team mates, acclimatize to the manager's system and quirks, and get their match fitness up, and so on. Then we spend the first month of the season wondering if we got a dud and speculating if we can do better in the January window. For once I would like to start a season ready to go. We have a manager in place, is it too much to expect a squad as well? | ![](/images/avatars/2677.gif) |

As a club we can't buy a striker until we've sold one or both of Dykes and Armstrong otherwise we'd be exposed to FFP if either deal falls through. We will hopefully be identifying replacements that fit Marti's style of play, so acclimatisation will hopefully be nominal and Frey will be there to lead the line while they get up to speed if not already. We don't really have much of a choice other than to be patient and wait for the right time. | ![](/images/avatars/1382.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Selling Armstrong will make little difference to FFP as we will get a nominal sum so shouldn’t stop any other purchases. I also thought we had more financial leeway on FFP this year as a big loss year had dropped out of the calculations? | ![](/images/avatars/24226.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Strikers: So Is That It? on 08:31 - Jul 17 with 2264 views | dmm | It's probably worth remembering the loan market which becomes more active as the end of the transfer window draws near.
