As I suggested before,maybe you need to build a team of people who have experience of playing up front at this level.... needn't be too expensive could be on a part time consultancy basis......get  people like  Gash, Simeon Jackson etc (not necessarily those individuals) to vet our targets before committing to them. We also don't seem to have great contacts, so somehow  we need to develop these with other clubs....... expanding outwards to the catchment ( to supporters and to other clubs) and beyond ......... building friendships etc etc
