I am still absolutely certain that a decent striker will arrive.  { I still say Grant. } there could also be a couple of outgoing’s. I can’t get downbeat because we had a two year plan for promotion we did it in one, if the worse does happen and we are relegated we now have Saleable asset’s which we have not had in a while. Not that I think that we would sell straight away. We are well run without the huge bankroll of other clubs. We should be grateful there are lots of Big Name clubs who would swap places with us. Even during Covid we have managed to keep most staff and get promotion. I’m a happy Baggie.

I do admire your glass half full attitude.

I struggle to be positive mainly because I think we are a soft touch. The budget is disappointing, but a bigger disappointment is just that we haven't invested in players who wear the shirt with pride and fight.

I fear we could be the laughing stock and embarrassed by our rivals...

Of course, Bilic might stiffen us up by adding Ivanovic and moving Ajayi into midfield or even utilising Ivanovic as a sitting midfielder, a role that Chelsea fans suggested he would be good at. I do hope so. But he seems very stubborn on playing lots of luxury players in midfield with Livermore carrying all of them.

As for the striker, we have to get one in, so it will happen. The question is, will it be Grant or a cheaper model? Time will tell. Either way, we needed 2 really...
