The fact that we are going into this season with Marquis and Harrison is a disgrace. Its not going to be any benefit having a string of midfield players to choose from if we are impotent up front. The case for spending some money on a striker e.g. Stockley was so strong Cowley should have put the case firmly to the owners/CEO.
Pangus ... Stockley's record is not as good as Marquis's. Charlton fans are not impressed so are you saying we should repeat the mistakes of the past only more expensively ?
As well as Stockley, we tried to 'push the boat out' for Pigott, who was far more what we needed so there was no problem with the owners/CEO not being prepared to spend. But I haven't seen anyone that would have fitted our bill going anywhere else in league one so maybe the problem was that what we wanted was just not available rather than we didn't try to get them. Colby Bishop was another worth trying for, but they did not let him go.
