I see no point in replacing someone for the sake of it, especially in January, we will not miss H?
We have enough players up front and midfield that can and are very capable of scoring goals even when Ant is unavailable? DM has said he is looking from within the squad which I think is the thing to do, then wait until the End of season window! Surely also give some youngsters an opportunity if needed, otherwise what is the point of having an under 23 squad that are not good enough to step up?
Yarmelenko although one dimensional, is very capable, Bowen and Benrahma should be encouraged more when given the playing time to get in the opponents penalty area, it should be a team effort to score goals not continually be reliant on Antonio!

I agree mate. Yarmalenko in particular should be strong enough to play in attack up front with Bowen on the right.

1 striker that was converted from a winger isn't really good enough for a Premier league squad especially considering how injury prone he is.

It shouldn't be a case of buying someone for the sake of it we should have plans already. GSB have a valuation of the club at some ridiculous figure like 700m why don't they start running it like a club fitting of that price tag. This lack of ambition and planning could see us slide down the table pretty dramatically. Why would our best players like Rice, Soucek want to stay?

Its not just the goals Antonio brings his running creates the space for those attacking players to flourish create and score. If we lose that the goals will dry up we seen abit of that already when mick was out.

We should 100% be being a striker this window and another in the summer if odubeko can't provide an effective option.

Yarmelenko 2nd all time best scorer in his country behind shevchenko.

Iron, Are you forgetting why Arnautovic became such a massive player for us, it wasn’t as a winger! ⚒⚒⚒.

Difference between Arnautovic and the wingers we have now is that he had all the physical attributes particually speed and strength. When he was at it he was unplayable even out on the wing.

If we want someone like arnautovic why not the man himself, would you take him back?

I would providing he proves his fitness if someone offered to triple or quadruple my wages I’m history it’s all about the money if still capable of doing the job and is up for coming back and putting a shift.

I don't think sulli would be too pleased. didn't arnautovic take a new contract with some loyalty bonus then leave anyway?

Yeah providing his fitness and sharpness are up to scratch and he hasn't been wasting away in the Chinese league i'd take him back rather nothing.
