Well, if we’re having reunions, maybe Milner and Mee…Subsequently clarified that Brighton and Brentford have both apparently indicated willingness to do a deal
The obvious candidates would be Ferguson and Toney but wonder if it might end up being someone more left field?
Hickey and Henry have looked promising, but I don’t see either as needed.

He’s not fit enough to get in the Ajax side, according to reports in the Dutch press, though the club are open to him moving.Brian Brobbey?
Evan Ferguson would be a great signing and would become great for us and even though it’s big fee it could be a bargain in future years .
I actually think Brighton could sell, they have a lot of depth in attacking positions.
But as you say big bucks
Excellent point! What happens to Doku and Savinho in a false 9 system? False 9 as a true back up plan (20+ matches) is not a good plan, simple as...Going to be even more frustrating if we have natural wingers with no centre forward if Erling isn’t playing. We definitely could do with a striker, if Erling isn’t playing we have to change our entire system.

Exactly- we did it as we were forced to do so with no really option otherwise- it's not something you planfully set up to adopt as a game strategy if you can come up with even a halfway decent alternative.Excellent point!

It worked, but as you say we had no real choice at the time. Also, we played the false 9 exclusively, not sporadically.Exactly- we did it as we were forced to do so with no really option otherwise- it's not something you planfully set up to adopt as a game strategy if you can come up with even a halfway decent alternative.
Something to consider,,,is it a coincidence that Sterling went into a deep decline during that time?
Doku and Savinho are not best suited to play in a false 9 system...these type of players have been brought in as we move further and further into maximizing Haaland's presence. We need a Haaland lite, not a false 9.

I reckon Savinho could adapt to it more readily than Doku.It worked, but as you say we had no real choice at the time. Also, we played the false 9 exclusively, not sporadically.

It's a better plan than signing a 9 that isn't good enough to rely on when Haaland is out. Who would you be comfortable with us starting 10 games in a row (for example) if Haaland is out injured?Excellent point! What happens to Doku and Savinho in a false 9 system?

I can't think of a player that is good enough, available and willing to take a back seat most of the time. Better off going with what we have and then deploying a false 9 as and when necessary.
