| When is a deal for a new 9 not worth it? 18:00 - Jan 30 with 1516 views | SheffordBlue |
Was going to do this as a poll but would rather see some broader answers.
If we get a striker on a permanent we are probably looking at £10-20m and a 3-4 year deal as a minimum. What % improvement on our current strikers makes this worth doing for you?
E.g. If we can only get a 10% improvement on what we have with the money/available players then that's probably not going to be enough for the Prem so is it worth doing now?
So at what point does it become viable/worth it? |  |

I expect the club are constantly looking for upgrades for what we have in all positions. One imagines that we're looking at strikers that also see themselves in the Premier League and it is going to be harder to persuade them to come to the Championship. Not impossible of course, especially as we can offer a good chance of Premier League footballers, but hard. | |

I'm pretty much where you are. Would be really easy to spend a whole lot of money without significantly improving things and finding someone much better on a deal that works for both us and the player is difficult.
Also a good chance that either Hirst/Azon/Akpom come good in the remainder of the season. Azon in particular has been unlucky as well as wasteful and the former can change even if the latter doesn't! |
And equally a good chance that they don't. My view is this, strikers and goals win matches. I agree however with anyone who says we need better than we already have got and not just simply a finisher ( though that would be a novelty! ) but someone that can join in with general play too. | | | |

About the time you are asked to pay £10+ for a player having a breakout year when they are over 25s. I would either like a breakout season at on target 20 goals sub 22, probably more like £25m, or a player who has regularly scored at champ level. The problem is they are few and far between because people keep paying silly money for players on prospects rather than delivery! | |

If we can get a player that's any percent better than what we have then it's worth doing. They might end up better than that due to coaching or fitting the system well, or they may end up worse. Either way, you always try to improve if you can.
Whether they are good enough for the Prem is irrelevant, we have to get there first. Players who aren't good enough for the Prem can be sold. |  |

The right striker, like Marcus Stewart in 2000, would be worth his weight in gold to us.
At the moment that is the missing piece from our jigsaw, we have extra pieces in some areas, which are all a bit scuffed and not quite fitting (no. 10s). | | | |
