Yeah agree totally. Leaving aside my obvious love for Carlton, it's generally a path that we've trodden before I think. If we're looking to push ourselves over the line we go for an experienced striker who we can use as rotation or off the bench. They aren't ones you spend loads of money on. Think Stern John or Brian Deane. Alternatively you go for players that have the upside to grow into real top level players. Personally I think BBD and Cannon are too expensive to fit into Pot A and aren't high enough quality to absolutely nail Pot B. Morris would probably be too expensive to fit into the first group as you say - although I think he'd be the most effective of all three of those names. That type does appeal to me, though, for a whole host of reasons. That profile of bench/rotation player who we could rely on to be effective, but doesn't necessarily make us duty bound to start them. No idea who that could beAye, I'm being a bit flippant but if we really want to make proper progression as a club built on solid, sustainable foundations then we have to be imaginative in our recruitment in my opinion, we can't be seeking to compete with parachute payment clubs for top end established Championship players (including Morris!).
It's what I've wanted since we dropped from the Prem and it's what we've done (in the main) since KLD came in - I love it and wouldn't want to diverge now.
