That's the thing we're trying to play Moneyball with our transfer strategy

In the hope we can turn a profit on a player in 2 to 3 years. While other teams are recruiting to build a strong squad with good options off the bench.

Our first choice 11 with no injuries/suspensions is up there with most in the league but our squad depth is non-existent compared to most of the top half teams.

Hernandez as the backup striker is the perfect example of that. Since Crnac is not trusted by JHT to be the backup striker. The fact that the club have decided that that's an ok situation is worrying.
