Svlad Cjelli Believe it or believe it not, it's the facts.
And think back to the situation at the time - the priorities were clearly the defence rather than the attack, so the couple of days available once the money was confirmed were spent securing Zurab & Harte.
With Hunty just one the way back from injury and effectively also a "new striker" the priority was not a striker then - it's only hindsight, and the failure of the existing strike-force, that has brought the issue to a head now - on paper at the time Long, Hunt & Church ought to have been good enough.
It's not hindsight when plenty of people were saying the same thing over the summer, at the start of the season and then again at the close of the transfer window.
The deals for Kishanishvili and Harte were done deals. They really shouldn't have been masive distractions that stopped the late bid for Morison going through (I think it was more Millwalls willingness to let him go that slowed it down, and not the time frames you're saying were to reason we didn't get him or someone else in).
