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]

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

 

[Magwitch]

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]

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]

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.

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

 

[lord_garrincha]

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

 

[letsallsingtogether]

Nar just put Max upfront we'll be alright.

 

[harvey098]

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]

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]

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

Yesterday showed the answer to this couldn’t be any clearer

 

[Deleted member 2477]

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

 

[covcity4life]

100%

Max and baka out

Godden relegated to 2nd in pecking order ideally

 

[cc84cov]

100%

Max and baka out

Godden relegated to 2nd in pecking order ideally

If we get offers for them 2 possibly

 

[shmmeee]

100%

We need more than two strikers.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

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]

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]

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]

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]

We need 2 strikers at least

 

[cc84cov]

Where’s Dacosta ?

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Where’s Dacosta ?

In da Upper Precinct.

 

[cc84cov]

In da Upper Precinct.

Strange

 

[covcity4life]

We need more than two strikers.

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

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

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

 

[better days]

Where’s Dacosta ?

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