Either those clubs are wasting money or the players are superior quality.

Burnley is a small, unpopular and unwelcome member of the PL. we cannot afford 100 million + on one player, but the players we can afford are expected by some to be just as good. That will never be the case.

SD took us to 7th and Europe. He was blessed with Ashley and Chris upfront with McNeil and Roberts putting in crosses that they could feed off. SD showed that you can compete despite the economic differences.

I acknowledge that the quality in the PL is probably higher now, but it is clear that we have lost that attacking impetus in the current set up. So far, I think that Walker has put in one good ball this season. On the left there is nothing. Both Foster and Fleming need service. I guess Broja is the same.

And by the way, what has happened to Amdouni?
Hartman has played in a couple of killer balls which Flemming put away. Against Chelsea for instance, crosses came in but we had no-one following in for the tap-ins.

We really could do with an apex goal predator, a "Fox in the Box", but so could loads of other teams.
