After yesterday's win I think it's going to be tough to stop them anyway but the signing of Rhodes (or Mcormack) should give them the insurance.

Keeping clean sheets isn't a problem for them so adding a top striker to their other strikers should see them over the line.


I wouldn't be surprised if they get Bamford back from Chelsea on loan, would be an excellent move for the player and both clubs

How can you compare a GK value to a strikers? Strikers come at a premium.

Is 10m really that ridiculous when compared to what other clubs have paid for top strikers in this division? Burnley paid 9m for Gray and Fulham 11m for Mcormack? He has more goals at this level than both of them.



in my eyes a top goalkeeper who will win you games is just as valuable as a 20 goal a season striker. I understand they come at a premium but my point is that goalkeepers are undervalued.

marshal is prob the best goalkeeper in the division is he really worth half of what the top striker is? It doesn't make sense to me.

Also, just because other clubs have paid around the same price for strikers in this division doesn't mean the price isn't ridiculous. It's ridiculous for more than one reason, and the main one being It means fans like us continue to have to pay more and more due to the inflation.

Yes the money in football is ridiculous and I totally agree all the money that's come into the game has gone on players transfer fees and wages with no regard for the fans is a disgrace.

However, given current market values then I don't think 10m for a 20 goal+ a season striker in the championship is ridiculous when compared to what other players in the championship have sold for. A championship left back sold for 8m in the summer and a winger 7m.



Were just making two separate points really

That would probably be the wisest rather than spend 10m.
