Looking at it slightly differently, we're going into a game against one of our major rivals without a recognised C/F in the 18 (unless Danny Ward makes a recovery), which is insane!
I want us to sign a decent striker like everyone else but at what price and who is making the final decision ? Warnock got it badly wrong with Madine, and with his and Pilks. departure, Kens injury woes etc, we are left lightweight and looking desperate, which we are now.But signings have been poor to date, not including our loanee midfielders in this, we as a club are probably going to pay over the odds to get anyone in, and the sellers and agents know it. We should have had a striker in by now, Hudds. on Saturday is huge and Wagner has said its a must win for them.
