Well I’m not big on my RS history , but didn’t they spend £35 mill replacing Torres with Andy Carroll?
But I agree with your sentiments re our scouts.
They signed them both at the same time for the money.
The kopites version was that he was signed to play alongside Torres but easy to say that after he has already gone I suppose.
I just mean that when you compare the two clubs, they seem to scout and find the right striker for their needs. When we do that in general we struggle so badly as proven so far. That isn't a criticism of tosun, he has really impressed me so far but he isn't the star striker that them lot seem to find.
It's just bloody fortunate that their scouts are only striker based so they keep buying crap for the rest of the team!
