It is only an educated guess but I reckon that the plan may well be not to waste any money at all on duff strikers.
There is certainly a sense that the club is on the cusp of changing hands. LT (and KH?) must surely have been involved in discussions with potential new owners. Would they have tipped him/them the wink to hold off and wait for proper funding for proper monies to be available for some real signings?
As speculation – this does make some sense. What other scenario would involve not even attempting to bring in some strikers – cheapo ultra longshots from pub teams 0r whatever?
