If in doubt, the club should do the exact opposite to last season :hehe:Quote:

I expect we did last time, but it isn't easy for a number of reasons:Quote:

Id say its bloated as theres loads of players who need to be moved on.Quote:

Yep, I’m ready now. Let’s get some players in Erol.

So our options are to look to the foreign market and bring in a few players from there, hope that some of the youngsters step up (Davies perhaps) and also bring in a championship striker who might not be prolific, but can lead the line and chip in with 7 or 8 goals themselves (probably all we can hope for given our circumstances) - I think we HAVE to do all three of these and hope for the best.
Given how our season went last year, I was disappointed that we didn't look to keep Uche on after his loan stint - a cheap option, he liked it here, scored a few important goals and provided some quality hilarity.
The manager and club obviously thought we were better than him but actually we were better with him than without - as the season proved.
Yeah, I was being a bit tongue in cheek saying that as obviously the club wasn’t completely ignoring the striker position last summer and signing a quality Championship option isn’t easy, but as mentioned we had options we let go (Collins and Uche for two, without considering other options in the market) who were better than the options we went into the season with - to me there was a certain arrogance in what Morison was trying to do, it almost seems like he wanted to play such dazzling football that we could just pass the ball into the net and it wouldn’t matter that our strikers were either converted wingers or players who had never had success past league 2.
Where's ccfcwelshlad when we need him?

Bigger picture.
Jack Leahy has joined Morison at Hornchurch
Mehmet Dalman on Radio Wales this evening said the club would love Ramsey back but at the moment it's Ramsey's decision to makeQuote:

Was surprised at that.. I thought he could have stayed in the leagueQuote:

He doesn’t need a mentor he needs a rocket, even now he wouldn’t cover half the ground Ramsey does in games.Quote:
