Why are we waiting?

We sold last seasons top championship striker for 15 million. 99% of clubs like your Brentford's, Reading's, Bristol City's would go out and get the next best striker available. So why don't we? Norwich sold Pritchard for 11-14 million. Watch them go and sign unknowns from Slovakia, nah they'll get your Marriot's and your Hugil's

We've a huge home game on Saturday and Berardi is this year's top scorer!! We need quality in before the weekend, as it stands, I bet Millwall are clock watching.

Come on board, do what everyone else can see!

Sheff Wed have a squad of strikers (British) who they paid big bucks for ..... look where they are ..........

Hooper/Winnall/Rhodes ............ all great and better than what we have on paper, yet with exception of Hooper delivering nowt.

Buying/paying £6m or similar for someone like Marriott is a huge gamble.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Winnall is at Derby now, scored 6 in 14. All goals that gained them points, not doing too bad are they?

I take your point though, having a load of "quality" strikers at this level doesn't guarantee success, but it would be nice to have some proper options. Wednesday have also had a lot of injuries this season.

wednesday are missing their Saiz.

wonder if hes fit again.

Probably tying to sort out his wages. £30k a week would mean Derby would have to subsidise them I think. But will they let him come to a top six rival?

If they do, probably means they think we're not
a top six rival. Which I'm starting to think is true.

If he does well we may well be, Derby only care about top 2 though (and I know they've blown up big before).

Speaking of Derby, great move appointing Rowett.
Birmingham look like complete morons.

If we spend decent money on a striker, we have a chance of a top six finish. If not, I think we'll be lucky to finish top 10 for the following reasons: I believe we've been more lucky than unlucky in our points haul so far this season. The team temperament (and morale) looks more fragile than ever after the Newport debacle. We're only 3pts above 11th placed Brentford, with a similar goal average so another bad run of form will quickly take is well into the bottom half.

I think we've looked like morons for 10 plus years.
Sadly.
