... on his way to Swansea for £300k.
2 things spring to mind,
Firstly, how many strikers do they need to sign? I guess Leon is going to have to work very hard to keep his place, or be prepared to accept being rotated, therefore not always playing, or sometimes BEING SUBSTITUTED. Ut-oh, that won't go down well with lickle Leon.
Secondly, can we all now wake up and realise just how difficult it is for us to sign players good enough for the Championship. I wouldn't say the posters who suggested Fallon were thinking he would be particularly out of our league, well at £300k he absolutely is, and that is a striker who has not been scoring at this level, so it would still have got the cries of "but we need TRIED and TESTED at this level, not some League One striker."
FACT - we are not even close to being able to afford the sort of strikers that would improve what we already have. Anyone we do get in will be a risk because they will be of a significantly lower standard tha Fallon, or they will be 35+ or will be seriously injury-prone such as Dean Sturridge.
