We absolutely have to strengthen our attacking options in the summer or next season will be a struggle for survival.
Agree with everything you've posted apart from the 1st bit,hard to predict how a loan signing like him would pan out and I'm sure when Maddison went on loan to the sheep he had very little or no 1st team appearances at Norwich at the time. He's done no bad though aye...been loads of greenhorns like Akinola went on loan and done well at clubs in Scotland,just a pity it never worked out for him and I was at Patrick away for his only 45 mins and I thought he did OK and was unlucky to be substituted at HT.....in saying that we've been helluva unlucky with young loanees. Best one ever has to be Curtis Good. What a player he was.
