ruddster 0 Posted August 13, 2008 Goals from many different players is what''s needed for a team to be successful.When we went up Huckerby, Crouch, Malky, Mckenzie, McVeigh, Mulryne, Francis etc all made a contribution to the goals for column. Trouble is now we may have some good attacking players but when you look closely at their records none of them can score goals which is why we got them on the cheap.Goalscorers, no matter what their position, are the one thing that cost money i''m afraid because little scouting work is needed to identify them - their names crop up time and time again along the bottom of the Soccer Saturday screen. Even IF we spend decent money on a striker he will be under so much pressure and at best will ''only'' achieve what Ched Evans did last season namely keeping us in the division.
