Isn't our main problem a lack of steel in central midfield and at the back? If we have spare cash you'd think addressing those issues should be priorities.
It is, and I agree with you, but they're not as easily solved as goals problems are. We could sign an excellent defenderand or midfielder but I can't say as a unit it would make the immediate impact required. As such, if we stop scoring goals now Jacks gone I think we're well and truly knackered. So he'd be a good fit.
The point about players you think are cocks who play for other teams but are great for you is entirely relevant as well.
Although Martin McDonald was a disappointment and I don't think anyone would ever have coutenanced Jeff Forshaw.
