We have literally just played a full season without a proper striker and even when we had a month (January) to sort it so as to try and avoid another relegation battle, we ended the window worse than when we started it which takes some doing when you consider how bad we already were.
This fella should have been fired when the other 3 stooges went and must definitely be on his final chance to do his job properly. Been absolutely god dam awful so far. Got to be a massive improvement immediately.
Lampard pushed for Maupay and wanted his team building around DCL who we all knew wouldn't stay fit mate.
Whilst a CF would have been nice in January the questions raised are:
1. Did we have the money to sign a decent one ?
2. Where there any decent ones out there available who wanted to join a club in a relegation scrap in between manager appointments and a fanbase at war with the clubs board ?
Saints spent £40-50m on that tall Paul and the winger we were linked with and Wolves loaned Cunha and have to fork out €44m to sign him permanently and none of them did anything of note.
There is a shortage in world football of quality strikers truth be told and I dont think in January we would have signed anyone worth the fee we would have had to have paid imo other than Ings who apparently wouldn't entertain a move ere.
