I think it’s a valid argument. Clearly we all thought we needed another striker, including McKenna and Ashton otherwise they wouldn’t have pursued Bamford, Piroe and presumably Wilson and Surridge.
Signing Armstrong would have been good for the Championship but he doesn’t really fit the tactics and he won’t cut it in the Prem. Him signing for Wolves and not Boro has done us a favour.
I was completed underwhelmed when I saw Maja linked yesterday. The likes of him and Kone are no better than what we’ve got.
And maybe we didn’t rate Vipotnik or Swansea wouldn’t let him go.
So that leaves players abroad or going under the radar. Maybe we’ve missed out, maybe they weren’t available or maybe they aren’t an upgrade, I genuinely don’t know.
I am disappointed but I will support Hirst or Azon tonight because we need them to start firing and mindless abuse is never going to help that.
The bid for Azeez obviously says a lot about our goal threat from the right and the centre as well, so it’s not completely fair to blame Hirst when his numbers aren’t too dissimilar to our promotion seasons.
It’s just his all-round game looks so short of confidence and his touch has deserted him. Hopefully, now the uncertainty is over, tonight will be a turning point. |  |
