One or two is a start but we need 3 at least IMHOWe need to get one or two in, it would just give everyone a lift.

fighting for survival.
Agreed but like I said earlier, the optics of selling their most valuable player while they've still got 16 games to play and they're not condemned to relegation *yet* would be awful. I'd be amazed if they let him go in this window, it's not like he's going to lose value between now and the end of the season, he's obviously a star in the making.That's an incredibly generous description of what they're doing.
surely they won't sell to relegation rivals? it would only strengthen us & help us stay up!Agreed but like I said earlier, the optics of selling their most valuable player while they've still got 16 games to play and they're not condemned to relegation *yet* would be awful.

Apparently "sale and loan back" isn't possible between 2 clubs in the Premier League. That said, a lot of teams would see that as a challenge to get up to a bit of creative transfer malarkey to somehow get around the rules and never be punished, except for a pissy little fine 5 years down the road.I would guess there could be a deal to be done and a loan back for the season
Though saints are doomed in a fight for premier league survival. Either way no way does this kid play in the championship next season
If it happens then I think it gets done for the summer anyway. Can't see him going anywhere while they're fighting for survival.

Even of not able to loan back, I think we might be able to sign him with it coming into effect July 1stApparently "sale and loan back" isn't possible between 2 clubs in the Premier League.

Moore to singlehandedly save our season!Quite worrying if our main priority is just a striker but then again this is Sky Sports
"We tried" getting queued up by the PR team for the end of this window.Quite worrying if our main priority is just a striker but then again this is Sky Sports
Yeah honestly that was my biggest take away from that.Quite worrying if our main priority is just a striker but then again this is Sky Sports
A striker is absolutely priority as our current options aren’t good enough. One of our failings this year is the inability to hold the ball in the final third to relieve pressure on midfield and defence. We need a cute, clever, composed striker who finds time, space and can retain the ball under pressure.Quite worrying if our main priority is just a striker but then again this is Sky Sports
I see your point, but isn’t that what £65mil solanke is supposed to provide!A striker is absolutely priority as our current options aren’t good enough.

I do wonder if this is exactly what we're doing. Perhaps the thinking in the wide positions is that we are well stocked with these young players Moore, Odobert and Yang that we don't want to block their growth for next season.Yeah honestly that was my biggest take away from that.
Whilst I understand we obviously need more reliable depth there, we have major issues with our chance creation especially against low block teams. Our technical level is just so so limited up top it’s painful. That is not going to improve with another striker.
By all means buy or loan a CF but we have to get another more dynamic attacker alongside that. We really can’t pin our hopes on 17 year old Moore, Odobert who’s missed most of the season and may look a shadow of his former self for the remainder and Yang who is likely very far from being remotely ready for the PL.
That's us screwed then! It's by the book or not at all!!!Apparently "sale and loan back" isn't possible between 2 clubs in the Premier League.
