JH Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Our failure to acquire a striker having had ample funds and from January to find one is quite frankly amateur and shambolic and WILL cost the football club points.[/u] Is that a fact? We could have brought in Maiga or Cisse and found out they're s****. I don't understand the attitude of spending lots of money = better. It was tried under Shepherd and the club was in bits by the end. Look at Leeds too. Still though, buying is better than not buying Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to separate between whats possible and whats realistic. Yes its possible they would all flop and make our team worse, however not very likely is it. Spending money is not always the solution, I`ll give you that. However I cant think of a single team who`s had success WITHOUT spending any money. *shrug* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There just seems to be an attitude of just buy anyone with a better reputation than that of our strikers, because if we're spending money, it means good things. The thing that gets me is the fact they haven't targeted realistic players to bring in and generally seemed to have faffed about, not the fact they haven't spent X number of pounds on any old striker.

Guest Rainforest Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Any striker younger and with a better goalscoring ratio than Lovenkrants and Shola would be a start.. I guess around 100 strikers throughout europe would qualify. Lets take it from there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was tried under Shepherd and the club was in bits by the end. Look at Leeds too. No of course it's not a fact but it makes it a hell of a lot more likely. That's what good scouting and backing the manager's judgement is all about. Using your logic we'd never buy a player ever again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope we can select Ba and Best to start absolutely everything with Sammy as backup, instead of rotating like a poor-mans SAF solution with noone getting the consistency they are needing. Have Ba as the first striker, Best to partner him in a 4-4-2, and Sammy warm and ready on the bench... just my 2 cents... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
