Leeds turn down $2m for mcc
Reading rumoured to have bought sharp for $800k
Lets see if ross can score 2.5 times more goals.
Leeds buy smith and hunt instead of those 10-20 other strikers they could have got on loan that will out score both those two put together.
Mcd insists he only tends to use loans that lead to perm. Not sure that is the modern way
We have 1.5 days to get a striker or winger in before millwall ( should win that one anyhow. But by a few goals would be nicer). I know mcd and gfh are doing there best but a few decisions are a bit baffling. I mean if there is dosh there why wait so long and miss the cream?

Should win that one anyhow?

I am not too sure on that. Our record down there is not very good and they are on a bit of a roll at the moment and we are the opposite

Are you really relating price paid to goals scored?

Bale cost 85mil, Soldado 26 so in your theory, Bale will score 3 times more.

Actually, he probably will.but you can't use value today what they shold or shouldn't do compared to another player.

But I do agree, a lot of strikers have moved and going to do damage, and we are just watching them go by. I respect BMD but we just need someone who will score some goals.

See this is why I don't always agree with your statements Aus, whilst I respect your opinion, you can't justify price of player to goals they score;

Factors behind this are:

Ross plays as an Attacking Mid now, Billy Sharp as a poaching goalscorer.

The service given to the players would be different at Reading than what he'd receive at Leeds.

The gameplay and tactics are different.

You can't say a player is better because they sit up top and score more goals. is Billy Sharp better than Vincent Kompany? because he scores more goals?

Or Erik Lamela should score equal amount of goals as Soldado this season as they cost the same.

If Ross played up front, he has proven he can score just as many goals in a season than Billy Sharp.

So in my opinion, your point is moot.

How can reading buy him when it's only loans at the mo?!
