is not simply the lack of one really good goal scorer but any real competition if we did by some miracle sign one. Was watching the Spurs match on Sunday and they brought off Defore and someone else I think then brought on Pavelechenko and Crouch. OK, before I'm shot down in flames of course I realise we can't sign players of that quality. But Spurs have the kind of aspirations for the Premiership that we have for the Championship and they recognise that you need quality and competition. Even if we were to sign, say, Nugent or whoever the latest striker linked to us is and say its not happening for us in the 80th minute - who wd we bring on to turn the game? Helguson? Agyman? Percolator (who admittedly might prove better for us than his goal record suggests)?
So after selling our best striker in the close season when we were already at least one quality striker down it was clearly a failure to sign not one striker but two.
