Lots of people rightly defend the club. Let's be frank here we started pre season with two fit strikers neither of whom can run in behind. To be 5 days from the end of the window in worse position with one now fit can only be viewed as a failure. Time is rapidly running out to correct that.
Indeed clubs and agents are rubbing their hands together being aware of our desparate need which will significantly worse if this is true. Makes a mockery of the prices will drop or stabilise nearing the end of the window mantra previously used.
