Where is the next David Nugent when you need him?

Probably is some Prem academy/U21 squad

ironically the one season we tried that, in signing Scott Sinclair, he turned out to be shit and well past his best.

Short term deals have their place but we need the longer term projects as well. Something we don't have the leadership, scouting network or development set-up to make work.

Yet next season another £10million+ is going to be paid out to a bunch of Championship plodders who are made up if they finish 11th.

Sinclair when we actually signed him and played him in his actual position was pretty good.

Got much worse when we stopped playing wingers of course.

I'm not sure he's worth chasing.
Yes, great for us last time but both Leicester and now Sheffield seem happy to let him go who are after all now in the same division as us.
There must be a reason and I can only presume he's not deemed to be good enough.

But sometimes a player just fits a club....being happy in your life helps too.

Wasn’t he our top scorer in 2020/21?

He was. 9 goals.

Let's make no bones about it. Our prem loans have been mostly excellent for several years.

The elephant in the room, however is that they don't increase the value of our squad. They increase the value of somebody else's squad.

Successful teams make increasing the value of the squad a priority - through youth development and investing (not 'trying' to invest) in the squad.

Not easy. But worthwhile if success is important to you.

And yes. If love is to sign Cannon.
