Does it though? They’ve also lost their best players in that time frame to fund the signings they’ve made and lost O’Hare on a free this window.
Coventry have been able to make the signings they have due to big sales. All it really highlights is the difference a big sale can make to a clubs ability to spend in this league.

They've done almost exactly what we're trying to do. Gyokores and Hamer were nobodies when they went there, and Coventry were new to the Championship, but they developed them and challenged. They didn't go up so they had to sell, but now they're using that money to make sure they can compete every season.

The biggest difference between us and them is Mark Robins, we haven't found our equivalent.

yes i used the word striker as its often used..as a general, or imprecise term for a player that plas in the firward positions...if i had said: "we have spent millions on centre forwards" that wouldnt be true..because thats a very soecific position and SAFC dont have a player in those positions

So what is your point? I used the phrase strikers too? You just post for reactions, I notice your Irritable Vowel Syndrome has kicked in again.

Us it any different to the handling of the others? Hemir, pembele, Ba? None ready for championship yet thrown in the deep end and subject to constant criticism. Same for loaning burstow, jobe to a large degree, rusyn aswell.

Our strategy hasnt had very much thought put into it since we left league 1. Speakman @Birtley Lad aint As clever as he thinks he is.

The amount of dosh spunked on hit and hopes has been silly. Could have bought 3 or 4 proper 1st teamers for money wasted.

Why do uninformed people criticise Speakman? We have had two other Directors of Football who got almost virtually no criticism.

Lee Congleton wasted tens of millions of the club’s money. For example bought Jack Rodwell for 12 million on a 5 year contract on huge wages. Robert Di Fanta also wasted tens of millions - look up his recruitment gems! Almost received no abuse from fans yet raped the club.

Speakman takes us from a very old, talentless squad with no asset value. He spends almost nothing and now we have emerging crop of young payers like Clarke, Ballard, Cirkin, Ekwah, Alese, Hume, and retained young talent like Patto, Rigg, Neil who are worth approx 100 million. He has also brought in people on loan likes Amad, Broadhead, Simms who the club couldn’t get over the line as permanent deals.

And yet he is criticised by people like you - with snide comments like he is an arrogant know-all and you’ve probably never met him. But yeah you just buy the negative garbage of people who know nothing about football and nothing about what is going on in the club - mostly people who have achieved nothing in life who feel more secure when they criticise people who have. Start thinking for yourself based on facts and not the opinion of fools!

my point ois the club spent millions on strikers...but not on centre forwards..despite the lies on here..

And you point has nothing to do with what I posted, when people use Will Grigg as a reason why we shouldnt be over spending on strikers.
What lies and by who? Because you have form for that.

i answreed the qwill grigg did in a different post to you..agreeing with your viewpoint.
the lie on here is that SAFC havent signed a striker for 18 months..
they have spent millions on strikers..
just not on centre forwards..its not even controversial as a statement

I hadn’t realised this was the deal with Burstow.

How many minutes per game did we have to play him to avoid the 100% wages?

Genuinely, don't know. I've posted on here before how one of the Chelsea Development Coaches was my son in law's best man. He told me that was the deal upon which got Burstow

not stir the pot..stir the debate..
ive also said on here there is no such position on a football pitch as "striker"
there are centre forwards and forwards.no.9s and no.10s...
so if someone uses a term as imprecise as "striker" they must expect a pedantic reply..

You're either on a massive wind up or you have zero football knowledge here. I'm inclined to believe both are true.

Most people say we haven’t spent it on a striker, I don’t recall too many specifying a centre forward.
Does Qwill Grigg take the pens?
