Be careful what you wish for.
I like short succinct statements like this. Cue the Billy Nick quotes about aiming high but if only we'd had a Levy around 50 years ago.

a football fan cast article but a lot of decent points raised IMHO
In one respect he has and in a big way. Failing to sign any striker worthy of the name since Berbatov has cost us big time. A high quality striker in each of the last 2 windows and we would have made CL both times. Unfortunately top strikers cost top money and he is not willing to pay it. Without wishing to be pessimistic I cant see us landing any of the top strikers we have been linked with and most likely we will have the usual futile deadline day attempts to buy ( or be seen to be trying to buy ) a big name. Sorry but I have to say it how I see it.
Really? Where's the proof of that?If it weren't for Levy (and of course Joe Lewis), our biggest London derby this coming season would be against QPR.

How easy is it to sign a high quality striker?
I can't believe you're using City as a yardstick. They have quality strikers coming out of their japsIt's all well and good people saying pick up a Michu or a Benteke earlier, but the risk is huge, and for every success there are many many more failures. People make out like signing a striker is easy, when it quite clearly isn't even for the likes of City and Chelsea.
