Strikers

But we bought Washington 'to improve him' as he wasn't 'the finished article'......do you honestly think the best players in the world are not coached any more once they've broken through?

Well its a odd one with washington & yes youre right they did, i just think hes got a big issue when it comes to finishing nerves wise, like that miss at birmingham was shocking especially when he had time, but yeah as a striker you should know all the movements, but it seems speed and pace has been chosen over talent these days if there needing to coach players how to play especially upfront

What about other teams that improve their team through shrewd frugal recruitment and good coaching?

Come to think of it what is Pollie good at?

Only Luongo has improved under Pollie. Can name numerous who have gone backwards. He is the Frank Spencer of football management!
