So which forwards did you honestly believe would struggle in the PL after seeing them in the Championship and below, but have gone on to be reasonably, if not very successful in the top division.

Jamie Vardy
Sam Vokes
Troy Deeney

Ulloa. Should have made the desperation bid for him rather than Janson. It would have been a lot cheaper and he probably would have liked to come back as well.

Our boy wonder Micky Small. I didn't remember he got 13 goals in 3 months in leaving us for West Ham. Bad times after that.

That was a good read.

Small and Byrne were a fantastic partnership for us, the perfect blend of power and skill.
