Championship striker linked

You have a reported £10m Jan Transfer budget with low wages still on the agenda. What do you do? Huntelaar, Llorente etc no chance so only option is to look in the lower leagues which BR has been doing and it seems Charlie Austin is the latest player linked.

I hope this is NOT true.

If we needed a 3rd or 4th choice striker then it might not be a bad option but no we need a 1st or 2nd choice striker. Someone that can embed in immediately and not need much adjustance having already played against top quality defenders. Unfortunately Austin does not fall in this category and if that finnish kid is a done deal then that's the 2 strikers BR said he would look to buy in Jan.

So what? Are you saying Pele or Maradona would be no good now?

Eh?

What I'm saying (what I've said) is that the pool of good young British players just isn't as deep as it used to be, years ago. Other countries produce better players than the UK does, for host of different reasons.
