Striker
....and Speakman still hasn't secured a Championship standard, proven striker.
Three weeks to relocate to the region, settle in, integrate into the new coaches playing style and effectively get to know your teammates. Already a big ask. Pre-season games will soon be lost opportunities to achieve the same too.
Once again, Speakman running out of time and not demonstrating lessons learned from last season.

Not to mention opening a bank account and locating the nearest Sainsbury's. Need to get themselves affiliated with the local club anarl, pay their subs. It might already be too late ffs.

Pre season tour underway and no new back room staff on it.
Predictable.

You just beat me to it👍

Very predictable, and not surprising in the least.

Proven championship strikers don’t come cheap. We have to live within our means.

Yeah, a couple of packets of space raiders and a mars bar, isn't going to get the club much to be fair.
 
Didn't realise all business must be completed by the opening day. Obviously it'd be nice but it doesn't happen for any club.

Can we have a list of championship proven strikers and how much they'd cost please?

Just want to know how livid I should be.

You, along with one or two others, are losing a point for your inability to read a thread accurately.
A 'proven striker' at 'Championship standard' does not need to have played in the Championship at all. Could be an overseas player or a lower league player. Scouting is key.
The point remains, this should be done and dusted. It's simply not good enough.
