I have carefully considered the contents of the OP and have come to the conclusion that it's absolute bollocks.

What on earth are you on about?

DF scouted Murray in League 1 for the Champ and got him to agree shortly before his contract ended. That doesn't happen very often and happens hardly ever in the Prem.

The nearest you get is bringing Defoe back but he is proven anyway.

Or you sign bargain after bargain and never find the answer, and haven't we just done that? And we are not the only ones to do that either.

It can be the difference between Prem survival or Championship oblivion.

And end result is you're left with 3 or 4 mediocre to not good enough at Prem level strikers on more wages than 1 that IS PROVEN. Now we have 1 on a huge wage and one on a medium one and one on loan. There is no problem upfront fella.

Defoe was hardly free anyway considering they had to give him a 5 year deal on huge wages.

We paid under £10m for a 22 year old kid who has shown massive potential. When fit last season and after a run in the side he showed he is as good if not better than Murray and at ten years his younger is a good bet to improve.

Mental money for Benteke?

We paid £30m for a player who has scored 51 in 118 Premier League games and in his 'terrible' season when he was a flop at Liverpool, still banged in more league goals than anyone in our squad.

Seems a pretty fair deal to me.

 


Employee of the month is a good example of how someone can be both a winner and a loser at the same time.

What? Are you seriously suggesting the four big target men (Sanogo, Wickham, Adebayor and Benteke) were not attempted replacements for Murray.

While I'm on here a quick message to everyone: Nowhere in the original post did I express a desire for Glenn Murray to still be our centre-forward.

Forward line has been a big problem since promotion and now the board has addressed it. It time to get behind the boys.

Connor Wickham was bought on 1st August 2015 whilst Glenn Murray wasn't sold until one month later so he obviously wasn't bought as a replacement.

I think that the main problem wasn't Wickham but Fraiser Campbell who has never really been a great success for us and Adebayor and Benteke were probably brought in to replace him

I am not sure what point you are making. Two of those were loans and were never anything more than stopgaps and two signings that I think will do just fine

Exactly. This is the most expensive league in the world and tv money has to be spent to keep up.

We were paying 3 players who couldn't cut it more than we're paying Benteke who will IMO.

Benteke £130k or £140k

Adebayor £67k
Gayle £30k?
Chamakh £40k (best season had left him)
Campbell £30k?

And Gayle not leaving to Bristol City.

Give up mate. Bottom line is we tried to do it on the cheap and nothing worked so now we pay for goals like everybody else or we risk getting relegated. Which would you prefer?

Or we could've spent quite a bit more than we did and wasted more on average or less strikers.

The position we are in, is very different from when Murray arrived. Ever since he got injured in the play offs, he was never the same player again unfortunately. He hasn't set anywhere alight since he left, so selling him was the right move.

We have gone from a turnover of about £12m then to £120m now. Players are going to cost more, as clubs know we have money. Sometimes you need to take a gamble on players Sanogo and Adebayor didn't pay off, but strikers are hard to come by.

Ferguson took many gambles that didn't pay off, but he is regarded as the best Premiership Manager ever.

I don't see why you feel the need to try and make out, the club has no idea what its doing.
