Forward strength

Sorry SB but another myth. We've spent far less than our other Champ rivals and again and again have found or stuck with strikers that transformed our season and our balance sheet.
Ulloa (financially and goals), Barnes, Hemed (bargain), Murray (bargain) and eventually Baldock (bargain) have all been arguably massive successes getting us in the play offs 3 times and promoted last season. Failing to land Pritchard in the end made no difference.
CMS is only the real big long term failure that cost us ££ with Oscar selling Barnes another error but its (mostly) loanees who've misfired. And most of those did a decent job (Bent,Vokes Lingard, Wilson) compared to the obvious mistakes like Best, Obika, Akpom and/or weren't here long enough/injured so its hard to judge.
The Grabban/Spanish Rodney fiasco being perhaps the only other (cheap) Oscar disaster. Not sure what we saw in Rodriguez.
But where are the long list of £5m, even £10m striker failures that are hallmarks of plenty of other Champ clubs ??
