HampsteadCanary 0 Posted March 3, 2016 Canary One, I''m inclined to agree with you. We need our own strikers who have ability and appetite. Bamford and Mokani aren''t going to be here next season. We only have Jerome and Lafferty on our books now, with the youngsters Loza and Morris. Naismith is good quality alternative for Wes, but hasn''t really pushed on since the Liverpool game where he looked a breath of fresh air. That front four was lethal, Wes, Naismith, Redmond and Mbokani, the movement was amazing. I''d love to see a return to this, with one holding player and the back five. I agree that Lafferty can''t do much worse, and I''m willing to bet he''s scored a higher percentage of his chances than Jerome this season. In the two games he''s played...

We can''t know what went on behind the scenes, but I doubt we''d have been able to match Bournemouth''s offer and we don''t know what other interest there was in the summer. If he had the choice of us or Bournemouth, even given similar wages I doubt he''d have chosen to come here when Bournemouth are the club showing more ambition to stay in the PL.
