Which do we need most before Thursday, know the answer is both but that isn't happening
Striker. We need someone who can hold the ball up so the rest of the team can move up the pitch. Eriksen and one of the youngsters (Iqbal/Mejbri) can cover on the progressive midfield parts until maybe January.
I’m probably going to fall in to the trap again of Martial will stay fit and Martial will have one of his seasons of good form. So ideally if DeJong is gettable then the priority has to be DeJong. Muddle through with what we have upfront till next season.
If DeJong isn’t and there is money for a suitable striker then bring them in. But no point just buying any striker.
DDG
Dalot-Varane-Martinez-Malacia
Casemiro-DeJong
Antony-Bruno-Sancho
Martial
de Jong and Depay for cheap will do nicely.
I’m fully on board the Dutch train.
Yeah, you're right that we need both. I don't see us signing another midfielder this window. Think we will bring in a cheap striker, but perhaps only in the event that Ronaldo leaves. Need to go big on a top striker next summer.Which do we need most before Thursday, know the answer is both but that isn't happening

Yeah someone of that ilk. I'm holding out a bit of hope for Joao Felix or Lautaro Martinez.Osmihen/Schick when back in Champions League, could also throw Nkunku's name in there as well
Not really a fan but if he’s available for say 25 mil guess it makes sense but then a Johnathan David for 50 if there is cash might be a better option. Neither really to me are that inspiring or better options than what we have so I’d still go CM is more important especially if that guy is DeJong.Moussa Dembele is suitable

World class cm, if we can control matches and the tempo in the middle of the park along with varane and martinez being a formidable defence then we can strangle teams to team and squeeze out comfortable wins, we see so many sides coping without a striker like man City and Chelsea in the past few seasons but still score enough because of the amount of chances they create in a matches, there is no point having a great striker if we lack the quality to create clear chances for the attackers.
100 percent this. I'm not bothered about a striker right now because we won't do anything without controlling the midfield, something we have not done yet this season.CM. There is nothing in football more valuable than a midfield that can control games. We have been playing without one for more than 10 years.
If we could pick anyone, I'd go for FDJ at CM. If we can't pick anyone and have to make do, I'd get a striker in and start planning in advance for next summer.
I don't think we'll get anything after Antony + Reserve GK, personally.
Striker, otherwise there's nothing to progress to.
