It's almost as if people are happy for Grant to warm the bench, solely for the reason that we only paid £2m for him, when in reality he's now probably a £20m striker. Agreed. I’m shocked it’s been as apparently easy for us to keep hold of him. Can’t for the life of me see why one of the promoted teams or any of the other relegation contenders haven’t been in for him. I can’t imagine PH would’ve been able to turn down a 10 fold increase or perhaps I’m doing him a disservice and he already has! |

Perhaps we ought to wait till the end of the transfer window before we celebrate?  |

In my humble opinion we have two "proper" strikers at the club at the moment - Grant and Mounie. Apart from the opening month of his first season Mounie has not succeeded, for whatever reason.It therefore always worries me when posters say " if we have to, we could always use....." and then go on to name players who are, to put it politely, not very prolific (most of whom nobody seems to know if they're strikers, wingers, or whatever) We are a Championship club with money, not a fortune but more than we've ever had in this division I suspect, so surely we can bring in someone, on loan or not, with goalscoring potential, not our back-up players who have never been prolific throughout their careers. I am not suggesting we splash out millions on someone to warm the bench but surely other clubs have excess strikers (young or bench-warming). I live in Burnley - they presently have six experienced strikers. Agree entirely with this. We were lucky depending on Wells in the championship and we didn’t score enough goals. And then in the prem it was crazy having two strikers, neither who were mobile. Again we got away with it but it effected our ability to counter from the deep block and impacted our goals for. For me I would bring in a young prem striker. Let grant and then fight it out but at the very least, have enough cover. |
