Winter Transfer Missed Opportunities and Regrets

I still think / hope we are going all in to bring Sesko here now rather than in the summer, he definitely seems like the best option both now and in the medium-long term

Sesko is not really a striker though, is he? Not like Watkins. I've warmed to the fantasy of Watkins. At least he could hit the ground running and he'll get us goals. And I suppose that's what we actually need above all else. Trouble is, he'd get injured in the first match, so there is that.

Different attributes, Sesko and Watkins could actually play together if we were back in the day where you had two up front

Watkins bit like Henry did plays off the shoulder of the last defender, where as Sesko holds the ball up and would provide more of an aerial threat

Probably could afford both as well, but I don’t think Tom Selleck is that generous

Indeed, either injured or sent off...

He is apparently a gooner so quite keen to come here, so it could have been more of a possibility if they weren't selling Duran i guess

Offer for Evan Ferguson fills in the F's, leaving us just with G, X and Z to go.

Apparently we've signed Watkins. Or at least agreed the deal.

Nope. Fake news. We agreed terms with the player. A far cry from agreeing terms with the club who, by all accounts, are about to sell their back-up striker. Dick Emery even spoke about it in his presser.

They want at least £80m for him - that is ridiculous money when Gyokeres' buy out clause is around £73m

Too late now for Gyokeres, Likely too late for Watkins too. What the hell are we doing? We've needed a striker since the season kicked off, and here we are in the last hours of the Jan transfer window, still no striker but with the added advantage of season ending injuries. How can we not have acted by now?

My worry is that we now have some players coming back form injury so Arteta may be thinking we will be ok.
