Surely a decent striker is worth a decent investment? Goals and wins puts 'bums on seats' and last season could have been so much better with a proper striker up front - we may not have fallen short on goal difference on the final day.
I'm just getting more and more frustrated at the seemingly lack of ambition at Argyle and our bargain basement approach to key player positions.
A decent striker should get a cash return if it doesn't work out. No need to invest beyond our means, but let's have someone to light up our season up front.
We also need to learn how to consolidate for more than 2-3 minutes in a match.

Planet Earth.oldage":2rpffmsq said:X Isle not sure what planet you are on. I am not advocating spending a huge amount of money but spending it wisely. Goals win games but we seem to concentrate on getting players for every position other than striker.As is often said we are all entitled to an opinion and mine is that a goal scorer should be a priority Surely DA has been manager long enough now to find one.
Which is investment in permanent infrastructure that will offer a return over a number of years. Well done Argyle :thumbup:loyal1970":2qppxofj said:but we do have a fantastic training pitch.

I hope that wasn't meant to be sarcastic*. The training pitches at Harpers Park were a disgrace and this was a crucial and very welcome bit of investment.
