I don't think anyone is saying that he will easily be replaced, just that it should be possible.
Cast your mind back to when we lost the services of Kamara, Koumas, Hartson and Ellington one summer. They were the scorers of around 50 goals the previous season and yet we managed to adequately replace them, the following season we scored as many goals and gain promotion to boot.
Big difference. We kept our best striker (SKP) though for the following season. HRK is no SKP
That's a fair point - although from memory Kamara outscored Phillips.
But nevertheless the players who I listed as leaving did score around 50 goals the season before and we replaced those goals. Miller and Bedmar went along way to replacing those goals.
It should not be beyond the capabilities of our recruitment team to bring in players of the calibre of those two.
Just cos we found a tenner in the rain doesn't mean we'll find tenners every time it rains (unfortunately).
At some stage we are going to have to find a tenner, Rodriguez can't play on forever.
No one is suggesting that recruiting good players is ever easy, but for a club to progress it does have to happen.
