John Smithmuirinhomambo3 2 premiership loan plays last season and Premiership players the season before.
What striker have we had, that is decent enough, and has remained uninjured long enough to get a good run in the side, do you think we should have played, that wasn't being played?
I'm not sure who your question was aimed at or what the purpose of it was.
My question to you would be, are you satisfied with Bodvarsson as a signing?
It was aimed at mambo3 who seemed to be saying we should have used our academy products/existing players rather than bringing in players on loan. I don't think any of them were good enough, or robust enough, or both, as shown by where the academy boys have ended up, and by what I saw of Mendes and Samuel.
Unless we pay absolutely ludicrous money, we have a choice between
-a striker on loan,
-or a forward who isn't a 15-20 a goal guy but will work his socks off and provide assists, defensive work as well as -a smattering of goals,
-or a cheap gamble from abroad,
-or an ageing PL start, who won't have a transfer fee but will cost a pile in wages,
-or an academy product.
Of those options, I'd go for an academy product if they were good enough followed by the "non-highscoring striker". And hope that our goals would come from all over the pitch. Like they did last season.
And that is what we've got.
Edit: to make it clear, yes I'm happy with Bodvarsson. With Mendes to improve, and Kermorgant to chip in here and there, once he gets back from injury. And maybe the occasional cameo from the likes of Danny Loader.
