Do City need to strengthen their attacking options?

With just a matter of weeks to wait until the 2020/21 Championship campaign kicks off, it has been interesting to see the names linked with a move to the Sky Blues. Mark Robins has wasted no time i…

Absolutely.... We need to have a plan b and plan c in the championship

I'd like to see a pacey striker come in to challenge godden and Baka but also to give is options to go two up if we need it

MattyR2020 · Aug 11, 2020

It would be good to have extra options wouldn’t it!

Magwitch · Aug 11, 2020

In a word yes, Hiwula has gone he got in some terrific team created positions to score but forever missed. Need a chance taker, getting one can be the difference as to how we do,

Earlsdon_Skyblue1 · Aug 11, 2020

We need to strengthen absolutely. If we don't we will get relegated. The rest of the team I would say is good enough, but we struggled to score goals as it is in a lower division.

Legia Sky Blue · Aug 11, 2020

I've got a feeling that MR will look to bring in a PL forward on loan to challenge Godden as a starter, and that it might not be sorted until the transfer deadline.

cc84cov · Aug 11, 2020

100% I see another one coming in we don’t need to panic & rush into it though either

lord_garrincha · Aug 11, 2020

I would be shocked if he does not bring two in... With Max moving on and Baka as 4th choice.

letsallsingtogether · Aug 11, 2020

Nar just put Max upfront we'll be alright.

harvey098 · Aug 12, 2020

I don’t know why Baka has suddenly moved ahead of Max in the pecking order. I’m sure Max finished last season ahead of him?

Because most people think bakayoko is better suited to the division.

A lot of Premier League loans aren't sorted until after pre-season, so we might be waiting a while for the final additions to the squad.

I agree, could be a waiting game for us.

I’d imagine that Baka has more attributes to make it at a higher level. Max is always due a screamer but his limitations will be found out a bit more this season - pretty much like Akinfenwa

Madness. His hold up play, in fact all round play, was a level above Baka.

Couldn’t disagree more. Baka is a much better player than Max.

SBAndy · Aug 12, 2020

Let’s face it, though, we definitely need to add to the attack. Striker required and possibly an AM (yes, another one!) though that could be on loan. Would prefer us to sign a younger striker permanently.

stay_up_skyblues · Aug 14, 2020

I do think Godden can step up and be a decent to good player in the Champ. But one or two (inevitable) injuries and then we have Baka leading the line, potentially for a good chunk of the season with God’s injury issue. Whilst I think Baka can come on, him being number one this year at least would leave us relegation fodder. So yes, we absolutely need another forward, and a good one at that.

Thought the answer to this would be no shxt Sherlock

Most definitely yes. We need someone who can score 10-15 in the championship and I dont think our current strikers will

covcity4life · Aug 16, 2020

100%

Max and baka out

Godden relegated to 2nd in pecking order ideally

We need more than two strikers.

Sky_Blue_Dreamer · Aug 16, 2020

I think Mr would be more than willing to sell all of Baka, Max, Ponti and Bremang if there were buyers to give him funds to upgrade.

Greggs · Aug 16, 2020

As it stands, we're weaker than we were last season. That's the worry. No Dabo, Rose, Walsh or Mccallum. Arguably our 4 best players. Time will tell.

fatso · Aug 16, 2020

I’d like to see 2 or even 3 new strikers in, and we need to offload Baka, Biamou, Ponticelli and Kastaneer. Now as popular as Biamou is in certain corners, (and tbf he has served us well so far) he isn’t good enough to have an impact in the championship.
As for the others, they just ain’t good enough full stop. I guess the problem is, who can afford to take them off our hands.

Lord_Nampil · Aug 16, 2020

need 5-6 players id say to cover the squad, will require a few players going out, but still need cover in defence, Decostas injury makes that 2 players we need, still need 2 midfielders and 2 forwards. if 3-4 were permanent that would be great a few loans on top of that would help!!

SkyBlueDom26 · Aug 16, 2020

We need 2 strikers at least

cc84cov · Aug 16, 2020

Where’s Dacosta ?

Chances of buying 2 in 1 window better than godden tho?

SlowerThanPlatt · Aug 16, 2020

Our survival hopes are likely to be down to how good of a loan signing we can secure

Injured
Don't know the extent
We've had a lot of bad luck with our defenders since the restart
