Givern we do not have a bottomless pile of cash, would rather spend what we do have on gibson, rather than spend cash on a 3, 4 or 5 choice striker, get a target man on loan and look again in January.

I have to disagree. Yes a CB would be great but so far this season our defence is doing well. A solid goalscorer is much higher priority!

Id go all out for dembele and gibson. Bit of a risk with dembele, however he has impressed me both at celtic and at fulham. He had some big teams after him but he choose celtic cause he didn't want to sit on the bench of a bigger club. And let's be honest he certainly knows where the back of the net is. Hard to believe he's still only 21.

I don't think we will necessarily get a prolific forward. i think more likely is someone who can hold ball up to allow sigurtson, klasson, Rooney, Sandro, marallis to get the goals. So whoever we get should not be judged by his tally - rather Koeman judged by total number of goals by team.
Don't get me wrong - I'd love giroud. Jimenez is one goal in 4 games - so if he comes 10-15 goals probs all that can be expected.

Jagielka, Holgate, Williams, Keane and Besic can all play CB if needed so that's 4 players for 2 or 3 positions depending on formation, add to that the defense has been solid I would say a forward is more a priority than a CB.
