Ultimately quality costs and nowhere is this more true than in the final third. Listed below are our purchases of strikers and attacking midfielders since Poch took over. By way of comparison you can see purchases of attacking players by City, Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool and Goons in the same period. This should go a long way to explain our issues and where the owners need to change the financial equation and/or dramatically improve our scouting.
