I'm actually confused about how we let former targets like Lewis Grabban and Josh Windass go to somewhat unfashionable clubs for not much money. Neither is Jimmy Greaves, but they could both have done the job for us
We didn’t let Grabban go we didn’t want him in the end and I’m not sure Windy Arse was ever a serious target.
Indeed windy arse was just hot air

Ah..... I think there were serious approaches for each of them, but no matter. Don't you think either of them would be a useful option in our present predicament ? I only mention them because if we had bought an extra striker I think it would have had to be a budget one and either would have been cheap.
I wonder whether there's not a championship team who'd do a loan exchange for Lee Tomlin ?
