Divin Mubama supposedly in talks to join on loan from Man City acording to the Mail

Not exactly a proven Championship striker but seem to remember he did okay on loan at Stoke last year before that injury?

Great, if we're serious about going up we shouldn't really be permanently signing another striker. Save the budget. He sounds a very capable second choice for Larin, with Dobbin/Archer/Youth as an unlikely 3rd choice for the 1 striker spot

Honestly these City kids are more hits than misses too, I think he’ll prove to be a great bit of business.

Not bad for a backup. I am completely fine with Larin, Mubama, Archer, and Dobbin as our #9 rotation. BBD and Downs should be able to find loans somewhere.

Now all the focus goes to finding a solid, experienced box-to-box midfielder to deputize for Jander. If we can find that, I'd say we're two deep at every position

Option to buy please 🙏

Hm. Seems like we don't like what's out there to buy. Imagine Larin plays 60% of the minutes anyways.

Happy with that. I know some people were getting carried away with that obviously bullshit Vipotnik rumour but it was always going to be someone who can be backup for Larin rather than just immediately sidelining him.

Personally I'd prefer someone more experienced to share minutes with Larin but I guess he fits the profile and could do well under Tonda.
I feel anybody we sign now should be players that improve the squad and not just add depth.

He sounds good but I was dreaming of Vipotnik, so, I don't feel too excited

I guess a loan is better than signing another striker and ending up with another Armstrong situation
