Problem with buying strikers is as soon as they score a goal clubs want silly money for them

A moan would be slating GR. & the sub standard forwards we have & how we do not play to their strengths (?)..but if you call it a moan so be it

If they even clicked on it they are some sort of cunt
for giving the fat cunt anytime at all
We haven't failed, Afobe and they're trying there best to get another striker in. It's not easy or straight forward to just buy who you want.

Ideally, I think that GR would want an experienced Championship forward who can score goals for fun (someone like Adam Armstrong who it seems isn’t wanted by Southampton anymore), but a player like that might cost a decent fee and probably isn’t on low wages, and it’s not always possible for a club of our size to justify paying £20,000+ every week, with no guarantee that the player is going to succeed and do the business for us!
I’m just surmising here, but does GR have an aversion to looking at some of the half decent forwards from League 1 this summer? Cole Stockton of Morecombe and Swindon’s Harry McKirdy know where the goal is and yes, they’ve only been prolific since last season, but that doesn’t mean they can’t repeat their success this season, either with their current clubs, or with one of them signing for us!
Don’t know what their clubs are paying them in League 1, but if we were to offer say, £500,000 to £750,000 for one of them to sign permanently (if they’re still under contract), and pay that player say, £5,000 a week, then surely that would be a win-win for that players club, our club and the player himself?

League 1 clubs are as big eyed as championship clubs these days. It’s a Knock on effect. These clubs ask big dough for their best players now.

Yes, if the club doesn’t want to sell a prized asset, but what about league 1 clubs that do need the money? £500,000 to £750,000 doesn’t sound like much to a Championship side, but to a team like Morecombe who struggled in league 1 last season (on the pitch and probably off it financially), then that sort of money could be manna from heaven to a club like them!

Difficult to understand him at the best of times.
A premier loan apparently. Tried for (buy) another foward from overseas but no joy, club won't sell right now. May go back in when his contract runs down as we did with Flemming.
Is that the Dutch kid? Can’t remember his name now.
It is yes, should be doable in January.
Wouldn't give either of them the steam off of my piss never mind fund them.
It’s driving me mad I can’t think of the fellas name. I can visualise his face, brown haired kid (if it’s the one I am thinking of)
