I'm a little confused about why people are quite so disappointed we didn't sign anyone. The league is in Liverpool's hands. Maybe signing a striker would get us some points we wouldn't have gotten otherwise but there's little guarantee a new striker would win us anything. There's a much higher chance that Liverpool wins the league anyway, or that if they do capitulate, we can win it with Kai at 9 anyway.
I think we have a good and clear long-term plan that doesn't allow for big-money band-aid signings in January.
We have no depth which means we're gonna have even more injuries. Kai should not be a starting striker for a title winning team. We won't be a title winning team with him as a striker.
We are still in the champions league, even if the league is gone. These players are playing way too many minutes. With Martinelli's injury today we have only Trossard, Havertz, Sterling, and Nwaneri in our top three positions.
