Tranfer window might have been a problem there.

Surely the point is WHY are they're underperforming.

Put that right and you might get the player who was originally worth (in somebody's eyes) all that money in the first place...

Picking them up for less because of their current lack of form could possibly mean it's the best time go for them.

6 goals in 15 apps this season including 3 in his last 3. He's doing something right for them.

Still not the player for us though...

He is a big target man, a traditional centre forward, and would be (IMHO) an adequate replacement for Kitson.

Dave Mooney? His height is presumably one of the reasons why he was brought in when Kitson left; and his performances in the reserves have shown he definitely has an eye for goal. I would have thought that if we wanted a target man then it would only be fair to give him a chance to prove himself before we looked to bring in someone else.

Good thinking Batman
