….the point you permanently make is we should be playing youngsters instead of Ashley Young and Michael Keane types and the answer is because none of ours are good enough. Harry Catterick couldn’t even magic them up from our Academy :lol:

….maybe because Branthwaite was properly developed. He was always a talent that would come through. It doesn’t happen automatically, diamonds are hard to find, it doesn’t often happen.

Only way we sign another out and out striker now is if there's something on the cards in regards to Beto's future I would think.
Closest we would get to another striker would be if we signed a winger or attacking midfielder who can also play...
