I suspect it's fair to assume that a landmark signing is unlikely in this window. I have a feeling that Arteta will soldier on and hope for the early and effective return of some injured players, and use the summer for more radical surgery up front.

Happy to be wrong, however HB.

I've no idea what Arteta and the club will do HB but it's become very clear over the last 3 games that we are not good enough as we are. I thought the players we had could we improved in front of goal but its not happened and its costing us big style. If we get knocked out of the CL by Porto it would be awful and if dominated them but failed to get past them without trying to address our issues when we could have it would be even worse than awful.

I hear you. I think we are caught between available funds for the desired players, and the rigours of FPP. I wonder if they cannot buy without selling, but can't risk selling and ending up with nobody. HB.

I think your right John.
5 league games before we play Porto
2 home 3 away. If we have not been able to address our problems in front of goal then pressure on us when we play Porto will be immense.
I agree with you HB, players will have to be sold before any new players come in. Fees being touted for Toney, Vlahovic and all the other players we have been connected with, there will have to be a few players going out the door.
Lets hope a few days in the Dubai sun revilitise them, a bit like when we had a weekend away at Skegness back in the day.

Very fair comments HB and Bill ?

Are there no free agents who knew where the goal is and aren't afraid use it ????.
