Rushup Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Hmmmm. I see where you're coming from, but just looking at all the sides who have been promoted over the last few years, they've all had decent strike partnerships where 20-40 goals have been scored throughout the season. I really think this is what's stopping us being a top 2 side, we don't really have a goalscoring striker who is a constant threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottf Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 oh i agree entirely mate- if we had wigans strikers we would have won the league by now cos we are a far better team than them in every department apart from upfront!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rushup Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Did you see The Times football moneymen article? David Laver and two more of our directors are amongst the 100 richest men in football, with assets worth "between 80 to 120 million". Still, why should they plough their personal fortune into the club to aleviate the clubs debt, they didn't become successful by giving money away.

duffman Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Originally posted by scottf When was the last time we had one of those since deane/agana??? we have always had strikers who do the work and with our midfield i think a player who is strong up there will be just as valuble!!! We have had good strikers that could score 20+ a season, thing is we always sold them off. Andy walker did it for a while, Fjortoft, Deane (again), Bent, plus i'm sure there were others, we just got rid as soon as someone was interested. But I know what you mean and lately we have relied on a number of players combining rather than just two strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club isn't in debt tho, we are running a very tight ship at the moment and out accounting is good!! but i agree- mr laver has MORE than helped out sheffield united on a number of occasions with cash. All this TV money we are getting is good for the club at the minute though!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rushup Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 We still have outstanding loans of around 5 million, but it's not serious debt like what lots of other clubs are in. Credit to the board for sorting us out throught the itv digital fiasco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duffman Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Gray is in the FA player of the round. He is currently last in the voting, Sodje of Brentford and Commons of Forest are leading the pack, rightfully so too. Oh dear where are the Arse players? I though Liddell should have won the 3rd round player award and Kenny should be the nommination for this round, he had his best game for us against Arse.
