I don't believe we did pay 300K for dickinson. As I understand it, it was closer to the 100-150K range initially, and would increase depending on appearances, goals, success. 7 goals and a mid table finish would suggest we didn't quite reach the point where we had to pay 300k for him.

We made a bit on the sale of Mark Wright to Bristol Rovers but I cant remember how much.
35k we sold him for.
But im presuming we paid a signing on fee, plus 4 or 5 weeks wages.

Why?
A young prem player will be a bigger risk than a striker who has already proven they can bang them in at the lower league level... we've also had more experienced prem reserve players who have failed to make the grade in our first team / underwhelmed...
There is also the chance that a good striker that we own will be an investment for a later sale at a profit...
If we are serious about building a team to get up to / stay in the Championship, then we should invest in a perm striker, IMHO...
