Throughout our history we as a club now and then find a top striker only to sell them on without any kind of plan as to who will succeed the departed frontman it is for everyone who supports the club very very annoying.
The decisions on buying a new striker is equally frustrating when you see the ones we are "interested" in but decide against it as he is not a Salthouse man!.
Viktor Gyökeres the ex Coventry striker who was doing really well in the championship we had a chance to get this player but for whatever reason you give and the one told is £20million was to much for the player Sporting Lisbon thought not and now his value is said to be at least 3 times that and he is scoring goals for fun. Ivan Toney another one offered to us for £10million and Sullivan said no but admits he does regret that one.
So when you see the list that we were "linked" with throughout the Summer yet somehow decide that Antonio will be worth hanging onto for one more season and Fulkrug and this is not having a go at the player in any shape or form but deciding that we will spend £27million on a 31 year old play that has had injuries seemed very short sighted and a panic buy for me.
Was there ever a Duran deal to be done? if there was whoever knocked that on the head will have egg all over his face now as it appears after his start to the season the valuation is now £80million which if Villa decided to sell they would get easily because of his age and his ability.
So who is out there that could do a job for us as burying our heads in the sand is not going to solve the problem and for me i have to say taking into account our kitty if anything is left and it is coming out of left field here but i would like us to take a chance on a young striker and that is Josh Sargent at Norwich City Underwhelmed sighs i hear but i do think he can do a job for us far better than Antonio can and now that we have Fulkrug injured or not Sargent could learn a lot from him to help his continued development. As a club we have to think more along these lines than getting in an exotic sounding name form abroad and they are not up to standard for the championship let alone the Premier League as we have had to many of those types down the years and more recent times as well and before you have a pop and say Sargent is American i would like to think you know where i am coming from. So who have you been looking at or thinking why not take a chance on this guy or that guy?

Just watching the under 21’s game first time we’ve seen Luis Guilherme and he looks really useful it’s 5days ago and it’s the full game enjoyed this game better than the Brentford game

So Jlo made a few strange decisions for many yesterday specially by taking Kudus off at Ht and so the media who love a drama or is that shit stirring and saying players upset with being subbed well boo hoo just because you are a "name" does not and should not give you special treatment and whilst i find the Kudus decision a strange one the fact he was changed for Soler on the left(really) surely it had to be Summerville but hey i'm just a fan and a girl so what do i know!

Pacman for me had his head in the clouds again and though he helped with the goal i was not surprised he came off Bowen was also playing within himself and though it was late on and respect the point and all that it would not of surprised me had he come off earlier i mean i cannot be the only one wondering why he didn't shoot when he had the chance on his favoured left foot but chose to pass very strange that.

Emerson again caught out by a speedster and it is a position we seriously been putting off dealing with but Bissaka seems to slot over there nicely so maybe he will start there in future and Mav at right back is that a possible answer?

So next week Alvarez is back(till the next red)and we are playing Ipswich god help Jlo if he cannot win that game so i am thinking Summerville on the left play Kudus on the right stick Fullkrug if recovered up front with Bowen and lets not be overly defensive and if that means upsetting a few players who think they should play by right then keep on upsetting them i say.

I Think we all expected this result -and these premiership results we have not won at Anfield since 2015. we all knew that it would take till Christmas till we got used to playing as a team. I think it's unfair to talk about sacking Loppy after 5 games, and I don't think the board will sack him till well into the New Year take our Claret and Blue glasses off and be happy to be in the top ten, This project is going to take a lot of time We all knew that we needed a complete overhaul The same thing happened at Arsenal when Arteta took over and every Arsenal supporter was asking for him to be sacked just like some of us are hoping Lopetegui walks away now. Won't be surprised if Fullkrug will be fit for the International break and Antonio gets injured and the forward situation has been the main problem -no forwards no goals.
Something else that has annoyed me in this round is the draw itself it has made no difference to the greedy six they have ensured themselves that 4 of these clubs will be in the semi-finals and get a place in Europe next season no matter what. This should never be allowed next season it is corrupt and biased plus the fact that they can do this, ensures that they can get a prime draw, but do not have VAR when teams have the facilities they should be using them the whole draw is biased towards the top six if they are so worried about the fixtures then don't play in the Caribou cup comp. and give somebody else a chance to play in Europe
