I'd rather have a good loanee for the rest of the season than splash out big bucks and a two and a half year contract on a striker who would have to be shipped out fairly promptly next season if we go up, because he is not good enough for the PL.
I'd like us to get in a top striker to help the promotion push, and I'm sure the club will be looking to improve our striking options (as indeed I would hope they are looking for potential improvements in all positions). However, I for one won't be shouting or moaning about it if they don't...
