All fair comment. What I find curious, however, is that we seem to have little or no difficulty signing non-strikers, such as Duffy, sometimes for large money. I hope we invest the £8M we were going to spend on Pritchard to buy one or more strikers before the window closes but I'm not holding my breath with only a week to go. Getting the right player is clearly important but equally it's important not to leave ourselves with insufficient cover to plug the injuries/suspensions we're likely to get between now and the end of the season. Is there another top half club in the Championship that only has two permanent first team strikers on its books?
Just for the record this is not intended to be a criticism of the club. I'm as delighted as anyone as to how this season is developing but the ongoing striker issue really bugs me and seems to be an unnecessary risk.
Because it is...
