I don't think we are. An inspired January loan signing of a striker to help Ollie's workload , you never know. The fact that Arteta played Rice so deep today suggests he thinks we are title contenders though !

Not going to get ahead of ourselves but today is a statement of intent

If we sign Ings or Benteke on a free in January, then I might believe.

Still think we are 2 or 3 players shy of a tilt at the title, top 4 is well within our grasp and then let’s hear the Press try to sell our best players again! Why would anybody want to play anywhere else? UTV

No. Still

Top 4 we have a chance.

Honestly I think 2-3 is more than we need 1 or 2 would be enough to just give us a little boost. If you ignore August, when we were clearly struggling after a summer of not being able to do the business we wanted to, we've scored 22, conceded 11 (for +11 giving us the 3rd best goal difference in the league), and got 29 points from 12 games. Nothing about that run screams that we are desperate for more players. With Watkins, Sancho and Guessand seemingly getting better after a tough start to the season we're in a good place there as well.

Elliott is the clear standout as a 'problem' right now and if we can agree to cancel his loan and use that to add someone who can bring something up front then I'd be happy with where we are. I thought the midfield today with Tielemans ahead of Onana and Kamara looked superb and I'd like to see us use all 3 more often. If we do that the other possible 'gap' is another one in there to compete with Barkley.

Or Grant Holt?

Serious option, I'd have a long look at Ueda from Feyenoord in Janaury but really I'd be looking to throw whatever it took to get Panichelli from Strasbourg in the summer, him alongside Rogers and Malen would be an exceptional front 3.
