A proven quality striker in today’s market would be in the region of £200k plus as illustrated by James Collins at Luton in league two.
As illustrated by muddy waters (0 goals this season) 50k doesn’t buy a proven league one striker.
So to answer the question I’d say a bare minimum of £300,000 to try to get in two strikers who can actually score at this level,though to be fair the jan market is always tricky so maybe £400k will be needed.
Creativity may come cheaper but not much a decent winger will be a minimum of £150k and we could do with two creative players.
So if we actually want to compete at league one level I’d say £700k needs to be spent.
We can of course not spend and rely on our plethora of strikers who are not good enough for this division.
We unfortunately won’t be recouping much if any money from player sales as who has any sell on value amongst those who will be surplus to requirements.
£700k to be competitive with the likes of mk dons,oxford,posh or even Luton in league two.
They’ve signed Collins for £250,000 Luke berry £250,000.....
That’s in league two!!
That’s the going price for decent players if you wish to improve
Especially true in the case of forwards as we are finding to our cost
Collins or waters??
Fair point, was surprised at Collins going for that much but if that is the going rate I would be surprised if we had that much money.
Really only £50K FOR Waters?
