To be fair, I think we would have prioritized a striker during Ole's time if we were not banking on a certain young academy forward to likely be our long term option for the position only for him to waste his entire career before it could get going. I think the club saw Martial and Cavani as bridge options until Greenwood was physically developed enough to play centrally more regularly, but unfortunately that is never going to happen.
Now it is clear that we need to sign a long term option for the position so we need to get it right and not waste money on players who will fill up squad places for years and hardly be an upgrade. The problem is we seem to be skint at the moment.
