I agree with their assessment, we don’t yet have enough goals in the side to be confident of staying up yet. 

A second forward is critical to our chances this season. 

I think they might have underestimated us a bit, they could only g on the business done so far, and we're probably half way through ours, or a little bit further on. I think we'll surprise a few next season.

Fecking managerial incompetence only fielding one substitute.  No wonder they would lose. 

kinda hoping it goes Nyland, Richards, Bree, Tshibola, Bjarnason, RHM, Hogan. I just don't want to jump the gun ;)

I also don't think we need  a 20+ goal striker like other sides might.

We have goals from midfield which can alleviate the pressure on the strikers, hopefully we can replicate it in the PL of course.

20+ goal striker would be nice! It's the other end I think they were a bit too dismissive, whilst it's fair to call Smith attack minded he totally sorted out the defense and we always looked very solid under Smith once he'd got a couple of defenders in. I don't think we'll be pushovers.

Plus if we sign players like Luiz and Trezeguet then Wesley will probably be getting way better service than he ever got before. Wesley may have only got 10 league goals last season, but as we know all too well a striker is only as good as the creative players around him.

We can't go expecting this sort of delivery.  Last season, only 4 players managed 20+ goals in the Premier League - Salah, Aubameyang, Mane and Aguero.  The very, absolute cream of the crop.  That's the type who get 20+ goals.

We'd be doing well having a 10+ goal striker.

18/19: Salah, Aubameyang, Mane, Aguero

17/18: Salah, Aguero, Kane, Vardy

16/17: Kane, Lukaku, Sanchez, Costa, Aguero

15/16: Kane, Vardy, Aguero

We don't need a 20 goal a season striker. There are only 2 or 3 in the league that manage it consistently. We need someone to match our style of play, add ~12-15 goals and bring others into play successfully.

I think with Wesley it's more about the fact he fits into our style of play I'm not expecting anywhere close to 20 goals. To me on the face of it he looks like he will get more involved, assist count pretty much suggests that too. Drop deep, hold it up etc He will be more than just someone standing at the edge of the box and waiting for the ball in my opinion. He has the physicality to do it here. Smith pretty much confirmed that in his interview too.

Pretty much this.  I'm basically hoping for a quicker, more agile Benteke.

I was hoping he was too, interested to hear the man's views nonetheless.

I was absolutely serious, I just hope he isn’t snatched from our grasp with a huge money bid before the window SLAMS SHUT!! I’m sure you’d agree Andy.....
