If there were only a couple of strikers in the world, yes, they'd have us over a barrel. As it is, there are many strikers. We will be trying to get any one or two of several. A few clubs will be trying to get well over market value, and a couple of clubs will probably accept close to market value.I think it has got to a point where any club now knows our striker crisis and these clubs, players, agents all have us over a barrel, when so late in the window.If we show interest in any player now I suggest £££££ signs above the norm will be expected.
If it was simply a case that all prices go up extortionately at the end of the window, then clubs would be daft to sell before the end of the window.
