As in all walks of life, recruitment is key to build a team. In fairness MM did build a team with goals and then Hurst tore it apart and here we are.
Was pissed when Waghorn went, Didsy leaving I wasn't too bothered as he was injured/not arsed. Then he went to Sheff U and tore it up, that showed me all that is wrong with ITFC. Supple and Bart gave us glimpses too. [Post edited 17 Mar 2021 19:40]

Do we even have a scouting network anymore? | |

They've done well with him. It's not often a club finds a natural goal scorer for peanuts who then goes on to be consistent season after season. There are plenty more one season wonders, but the consistency that show the quality is pretty rare. To hang onto them in the championship is even rarer. |  |

Better. We got one and a half seasons out of Stewart and he cost about the same, so a lot more if you take into account inflation.
Better commercially that is. Stewart at his best could tear up the PL ad did far better with us and then Sunderland than Pukki could manage in the PL. He was much the better player imo. | |

I'm not sure many Prem clubs would be in for him. The ones who might will prob be in the Champ next season.
Would be different if he was 23. |  |

Yeah, I don't think so either. He's top quality Championship, backup PL level. He'd be nuts to think he can push on from Norwich - being a big fish in a small pond obviously suits him. | |

"Was pissed when Waghorn went"
I have had many reasons for getting pissed, but never because a player has left our club |  | | |

Not really, Stewart actually scored premier league goals as well. |  |

Didn't Pukki get 10 or more last season in a very poor prem team where the chasm in quality is so much more than when Stewart played? | | | |

Hawkins was replaced at Pompey by a player we released. |  |

It's service to him too - how many chances do we create in a match? Almost none. Our forwards, good or bad, have very little to feed on.
How many decent crosses do we manage into the area? It is that very basic element of the game that we seem unable to deliver. We have lacked a good winger / wing-back for many seasons. We get someone like Bennets who has the speed but no ability to cross a ball.
If this is the hand given to Cook, he and the coaching team have to improve the players. |  | | |

11, which was half decent. He's no Marcus Stewart, but as I said last night he's certainly a top Championship / lower half PL player. i don't mind admitting that even if he does play for 'them'. We'd be delighted to have had him join us in the Championship (and probably wouldn't be in the mess we are now). | |

According to some on this forum they've never been hidden, but it normally suggests in the online world that I'm just capable of making subjective observations, so I don't complain about the budgie-accusations. | | | |

Yeah true although I guess it would have depended on when we got him and who was manager. For example I doubt Pukki would be anything in a Mick team. | | | |

Alun Armstrong got nearly as many in two incomplete seasons. | |

We got McGoldrick for free. They paid £11m for Naismith.
We can prove anything with one example. | |

That's true which kind of goes shows that spending silly money doesn't guarantee anything,we wasted millions on Naismith and Wolfswinkel and yet Grant Holt and Wes Hoolahan cost less than a million between them.A good player can be found for almost peanuts if the recruitment is spot on something we have got right under Webber. |  | | |

Yep, you continue to build well. One of these times you're going to stay up.
Leaves a bitter taste that you've overtaken us when we've had one hand tied behind our back though to be honest. Just when it looked like Evans was going it gets taken away. | |
