Can we just reconsider the myth that a decent striker costs a mint? Firstly the loan system works very well for clubs. We have not been to good at it though as far as strikers are concerned ( Coulthirst ) and maybe just a bit unlucky, although I do wonder about our scouting and assessment capabilities over the last few years on the striker front
Lets just take the top 2 teams, I could go through the whole league but know the answer. Other clubs also without much cash have done quite well in the market at getting in successful strikers one way or another. Two a week have been signed into league 1 since 1st October. Most have been on loan or unattached, cost very little !
So top of the league Burton Albion. Top scorer Abdenasser EL Khayati ( 8 goals ) Came on a trial , signed for nought from Dutch 3rd tier. Well done Jimmy FH good imagination and spot to go outside English Football. Next up Coventry, like most clubs here boast 6 strikers,( only one fee) Top two goalscorers are Adam Armstrong - 13 goals and Jakub Murphy 7 goals in just 6 appearances , thats erm 20 goals with both players on loan, no buying expenses players there then??
