linkenholtroyal I was being sarcastic and I think Forster was playing In the equivalent of league 1 at that point
When we signed Forster he dropped down a division to join us and he'd previously scored at a good rate in League Two (our division). He was a big money signing at that level and nothing like a young and unproven player like Kitson or Doyle.
Lita, as a £1m signing wasn't either.
When Cureton came to us, again to play in what was then League Two, he was about as proven a goalscorer at that level as you could wish for. He'd been consistently banging them in for Rovers for 3 or 4 seasons and how we got him on the cheap as we did was excellent business, some might say a bargain!
At the same time we also spent £750k on Martin Butler, another proven scorer at the level we were playing at. His partnerships with Cureton and Forster where fundamental in the success we had around that time but we'd paid big money for 2 of them so it just goes to show that although Doyle and Kitson were good cheap gambles we've had just as much success buying proven players as well.
