The reality is that even with changes within our recruitment team, finding the right player at the right price isn't easy.
Let's look at strikers that have come in over the summer across the league.
Max Watters - previously at Barnsley.
Kyle Joseph - part of a bigger deal.
Dan Nlundulu - previously at Bolton
Jervani Brown - 1 in 5 goals per game
Cole Stockton - 1 in 4 (and only one outstanding season)
Alfie May - decent signing
Conor Washington - on his last legs
Joe Piggot - not done much for a few years
Dan Ageyi - unlikely to return, step too far?
Tyler Walker - one season with Lincoln, nothing since
Tshimanga - gamble at this level
Sam Smith - decent signing
I'm not sure that we would have wanted, or would have got many of them. And Mark Harris has the potential to be up there with many of these.
Max Watters was at Barnsley last season and Kyle Joseph was a make weight in the Jerry Yates deal so neither were on the cards. Even Cole Stockton, Alfie May and Sam Smith have split opinions, and they're the best of a pretty average bunch.
So you can have all the money in the world and the best people working night and day, but you can't magic a decent striker out of thin air.
With your extensive knowledge of football, who do you think that we should have signed by now for the elusive goal machine?
