Two strikers also gives us 4 strikers not counting Fred and Healey.
Can't see it

Don't get why people still want to make every signing of a player they've never heard of down to Tan.
Warnock could leave tomorrow and get a good job offer. We need him more than he needs us. If players were being foisted on him, he'd probably walk.
Loic has pedigree, given the academy he developed in. He's admitted he had a major attitude problem in his younger days which has almost certainly affected his career.
Loic is a decent age with plenty of experience and plenty of years ahead of him. Recognises his attitude in his youth has hurt his career, a sign of maturity and Warnock's man management skills are clear.
Does that mean he'll be a world class signing? No, but the signs are good - Bosman signing, wages almost certainly wont be overly high. Even if he's just a depth signing, still improves the squad.
Re: Warnock still after two strikers and a midfielder.
to be honest I really do think we are 2 or 3 quality signings from a top six place
but Warnock is a master at turning a sows ear into a silk purse
its just who is out there that's within our budget
as a few have suggested 2 no 10s
id be happy to see.

I'd say Warnock needs about 5 more players. If he is after two strikers then, maybe, he is resigned to losing Zohore. Unless one of those strikers is a youngster from the lower leagues.

I know you tube videos can be very deceiving but you can see enough on there to suggest that he is far more technically proficient than Ralls and Gunnarsson. His body position when receiving the ball will put the team on the front foot far more quickly than we're accustomed to.
Amazing stuff. You're bonkers.

We have lots of pace and power and we have goals up top in Zohore, Ward and maybe Saadi or Fred.
I'd rather invest what remaining funds are left on a midfielder who can both tackle and pass ( maybe Charlie Adam) a proper number 10 and someone who is versatile across the forward line. If we get these 3 and if they're any good we'll make the play offs in my opinion.
Someone like Barry Bannon springs to mind.

Bannan was superb down here when we drew 2-2 under Slade.
Wouldn't he be in Wednesday's plans?

He made 43 league appearances last season, and was in the Championship Team of the Season before that, I'd say this suggestion is optimistic at best! He's been playing a bit deeper for Wednesday too, I'd take any centre mid that can pass. Ralls' passing range is limited, and Gunnar isn't exactly creative.
