I'm struggling to figure out the striker situation at the club. Let's break it down.

Eddy - Critical

Can't lose him this window but there are talks of a 30-40m price tag which teams seem to be willing to pay? ever since the Dembele/ Tierney sales and showing there progression. It almost seems like we've continued to increase our prices which is great.

Griff - Important?

What is the situation with Griffiths does Lennon trust him? Can we be certain he's ready? If he goes awol again we are a striker short. Again another unreliable.

Klimala - Prospect

All be it Klimala has came in learned the language and really pushed for his chances. He's looked a good prospect but again is unreliable running into the transfer window.

Bayo - To be sold

Hopefully off the books. To much uncertainty again and if we can get someone better in it's no loss.


Toney, Ajeti continuously linked. Fletcher again in talks?

Due to all this it looks like Lennon wants both Toney and Ajeti. Assuming they replace Bayo we will have 5 strikers on the books. Does anyone have a feeling Griff and Bayo are to be sold or to go on loan? That's if we keep eddy.

What we see is continuous touting in the market. Whether Ajeti or Toney or Fletcher signs we'll not know until it happens. NL is on record as saying he'll be looking for another striker so every name under the sun is being linked just about. There isn't anyone oven ready in the Development Squad who could come in as a fourth or fifth striker - possible Cameron Harper but he would be developmental.
Clearly Lennon was critical of Griffiths re the condition he came back as - and then he praised him. Possibly to big him up to be sold or to keep him due to the record (goals) he has achieved.
Whatever the scenario there sure does appear to be something happing in the forward area. especially if Eddy keeps us waiting until he finds what's out there to suit himself.
Klimala is starting to prove himself so he'll not be going anywhere. It's anyone's guess between Eddy, Griff and Bayo.

I obviously hope Edouard stays but if he doesn't want to remain then I would rather sell him now rather than him leave in October when we will be well into the season.
When Dembele left a couple of years ago it happened right at the end of the window and we couldn't get a replacement in, it left us well short in the striking department and we were relying on getting no injuries.
I haven't a clue whether Edouard wants to stay or not, but if his heart isn't in it then I would rather get it sorted sooner rather than later. I don't want any nasty surprises right at the end of the transfer window.

For me it looks like we wa t both toney and ajeti as long term replacements for eddy and griffiths. Fletcher has just fell in their lap and they are considering it.

Be surprised kev if we sign both.

I think we’re all on the same page roughly. I’m thinking Griff might be offski due to the whole back and forth situation and isn’t reliable enough for such a big season. Klimala to stay, Bayo sold. That leaves us with Edouard and Klimala but Lennon wants 4 so Toney and Ajeti.

After that it looks like a CB is needed but I’ve not heard a thing in regards to a CB in a long time. That concerns me slightly. Id like to see how Taylor fairs over the next few games before making a conclusion on if he’s good enough.
