Oh goody another ENIC debate. :D

Well 25 years spanning ENIC's ownership and conflating it all together is pointless, like for example comparing first 5 years

Despite all this I don't get your point if you're referencing the fact that they didn't buy a striker last year because they were being cheap is nonsense because a) There was strikers on the market well within their price range that we could have bought but we didn't bite - that's nothing to do with price or being 'cheap', that's down to strategy.

What strategy is that then? Having one average injury prone striker.
I can see why other posters are like they are with you, you pick petty arguments and keep moving the goalposts 😂
Have a good evening 👍

The same network of scouts that did some pretty amazing business last Summer and bought in players like Vic, VDV, Drag etc..., you can bet that they looked at the market and thought Nah...

So we either trust the scouts or we don't, they're either doing a good job or they aren't...you need to pick an argument.

And not one of them cost 35m+, how much do good strikers cost?

We had 2 strikers this season if you hadn't noticed, do you actually pay attention?

The irony of you saying that Richy is average striker and here you are desperately wanting to sign a striker from the Championship 🤦‍♂️

No goalposts have been moved, your argument is just a load of shit.

Fair point. Also there's the £8m from Parrott, so that's £18 from him and Rodon. Then, conservatively:

Emerson £18m
Hojbjerg £15m
Gio £12m
Reguilon £8m
Skipp £12m
Gil £7m
Spence £8m
Richy £40m

That's an additional £120, but we won't manage to ship all those players, I imagine a few will be loans. We probably won't find any takers for Solomon either.

The big one is the Richy fee, and much as I want to move him on a lot will come down his willingness to go to Saudi, which I don't really see happening. I don't see who else plumps up the cash for him or where he'd be willing to go.

We won't be getting anything near those values for Emerson, Pierre, Gio, or Reg.

It was a hypothetical argument to counter your view that there were no good strikers available .
Were we/are we going to get a striker as good as Kane? No but that’s not the right question to ask now. The question we should be asking, is can we buy a striker who is better and more suited to the system we now play and the answer is obviously yes

Obviously?

Is that fact or opinion?
