Is anybody seriously bothered if we don't sign anyone today?

We've added half a dozen players in the last few months to a squad that did well last season, does it only matter if we sign them on deadline day? Do we really need an extra striker? Scoring goals was never our problem last year, defending was.

I don't want to see us spending money where it's not necessary this season. Next season, yes, but this season I want us to stay up while being financially sound.

- We need a striker but as u say, last season scoring wasn't a prob (NCFC) - ingi, Aug 31, 23:11:13
  - We've a stronger midfield and possibly a stronger defence. (NCFC) - tim berry, Aug 31, 23:14:24
  - Would be willing to bet lots we'll score less than last season (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 31, 23:12:00
    - Due to more emphasis on defence though perhaps? (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Aug 31, 23:23:14
- Hughton has fucked up in terms of strikers, in my opinion (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 31, 23:09:19
  - & tried to get shot of Morison as well, Morison must feel well up for it for the next few (NCFC) - lovely old job, Aug 31, 23:13:42
    - Where has that been confirmed anywhere? (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Aug 31, 23:14:33
      - You happy with our striking options this season, Lee? (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 31, 23:15:43
        
        Erm, no, I think we need a little more, personally. (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Aug 31, 23:17:19

        I thought it was reported he turned Forest down earlier today, but there is so much (NCFC) - lovely old job, Aug 31, 23:21:03
        
        That's a bit weird (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 31, 23:16:53
        
        ditto (n/m) (NCFC) - lovely old job, Aug 31, 23:18:06
  - not over yet (n/m) (NCFC) - ede, Aug 31, 23:10:00
- No, but a little disappointed, and even a little apprehensive (n/m) (NCFC) - Sugbad The Bad, Aug 31, 23:08:55
- Didn't you get the memo Tim? It's instant relegation now. (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Aug 31, 23:08:50
  - No it isn't, as you know, but it's a bit like not stopping for a piss at the last services (NCFC) - Sugbad The Bad, Aug 31, 23:12:09
- "I don't want to see us spending money where it's not necessary this season" (NCFC) - Edwardo, Aug 31, 23:08:49
  - Yes, so that our existing keepers who rarely get a game can be loaned out. (NCFC) - tim berry, Aug 31, 23:11:03
    - Sure, but that's worth spending a million quid on? As opposed to putting it towards a CF? (n/m) (NCFC) - Edwardo, Aug 31, 23:12:01
      - Why do you assume buying a keeper has prevented us buying a striker? Bizarre. (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Aug 31, 23:13:59
        
        Well, we know it's taken a 7 figure sum out of our transfer budget... (n/m) (NCFC) - Edwardo, Aug 31, 23:15:20
        
        Do we? (NCFC) - Yellalee, Aug 31, 23:16:17
        
        I don't accept the premise of your question - I'm questioning the balance of our spending (n/m) (NCFC) - Edwardo, Aug 31, 23:17:42
- Yes, hugely (n/m) (NCFC) - RootunTootunHootun, Aug 31, 23:08:30
- Nope...we can still loan. (n/m) (NCFC) - Toddus, Aug 31, 23:08:24
