Never played it, is it good then?
Plenty of clubs manage to have a decent stream of strikers coming though, being bought or on loan. We are not very successful in securing Championship quality strikers. This is our fourth season in the Championship and we have had a grand total of one striker...
I think the club let Murray go without securing a replacement and the fact that it took 18 months to secure one says more about our tardiness in signing decent strikers than my over simplifying it. We are back in the same cycle now having got good money for Ulloa but not replacing him. Maybe we...
If I was paid to spend my life looking I can assure your 100% that I could, as it is I am not employed by the club to spot strikers. But I'm not glibly going to shrug my shoulders and not query why we have such small strikers by assuming that was all that was available.
None of our current strikers in any way resembles Ulloa, so we either haven't bothered or we have decided Ulloa type strikers are not what we need surely? We didn't have to buy small strikers.
I find it hard to believe that there isn't a big striker who can hold the ball up and score goals out...
The most suprising thing about the Ulloa transfer, which I did think was a phenomenal bit of business, is that we haven't bothered with a replacement of a similar type of player but have gone for small strikers and a journeyman as his replacement.
It is the lack of quality upfront that sees us...
