It's guaranteed income though.  It'll be spent this window.

Sure, that was my thinking. But it doesn't look good unless they've got a couple of big deals in stealth mode.

I agree with you that there's no doubt it's been a frustrating window for Rafa, but the money's still there till the window shuts.

 

It will be spent.

My thinking still is we need a No.10, a Tier 1 striker and a left back. Benny is good enough to juggle the rest.

Defo still need another CM and probably a winger too unless I'm forgetting someone.

What's a tier 1 striker? 

Proven goal getter in a top league (Not Portugal, Denmark or Holland). Approaching peak years ie 24 and upwards but under 30. Striker ratio of at least 1/3 with 2/3 good season under his belt. Price would be around 25m plus. Tier 1 is a good striker with more to come but not yet World class. Obviously we won't be buying a world class striker. So Gayle is a Tier 2 striker. Has PL experience and decent goal getter who will improve. Kane is Tier 1 etc...

I would Say Kane is Premier Tier!

I think for a Tier 1 now you're looking at £40m+ with todays mad prices

We have to get one.

 

Was just looking at Troy Deeney stats 10/31, Rondon got 10 goals as well which is very good for a struggling side. Gayle will have to get at least 10 goals. I think both are better than what we have.

Aye, I fully agree.  Without goals in this league (well in any, thats the aim of the game!) You will struggle.

Half of those are world class. My vision for the club is probably different to yours. :D

 

We could have signed the bloke who's gone to Huddersfield 1/2 in Ligue 1. They paid around 11/12m. You can hunt around and get a Tier 2 striker who on analysis will be Tier 1. Mitro and Gayle will never be Tier 1.

Would you have been happy with that? Considering he has less experience in the prem than either mitrovic or Gayle?

 

You said more than one good season too, he only started playing regularly this season so doesn't meet your criteria

Totally agree with this.

 

@Park Life, there must be a tier 0 by your reckoning too?

He's better than ours. 1/2 in Ligue 1 is proof of that. It's not a muppet league. Think he's 22/23 iirc. So he misses the exact criteria but the sheer no of goals cancels that out.
