Prices for strikers have gone through the roof this season. We were interested in Vydra, but Derby ended up paying £10 million for him. He scored 3 goals last season and has managed only 1 (and that was today) for them in 2016/17.
In addition a loan deal was agreed with an established PL club...
Signing a record fee striker guaranteed promotion for Blackburn with Rhodes and Fulham with McCormack, so it should have worked for us in the summer too.
Is anyone at the club denying that they were in the hunt for a striker?
It looks as if deals were close to being agreed and then the Albion were gazumped or the terms of the selling/loaning club were changed.
