I don't think we will, Mangala will cover it for the season along with Tosin and the full backs. Left back is the most likely purchase.
Sanchez will fill in at left back as well

So basically you are saying because everyone else has a weakness in attack we should keep the status quo and remain weak ourselvesDoesn't it just leave us in the exact same amount of trouble as everyone else if one of their strikers get injured?
There seems to be this prevailing idea that were particularly vulnerable at striker, but we're actually much better equipped than Chelsea, United, Spurs, Liverpool, Arsenal, Barcelona, Bayern and Madrid.
Suarez gets injured and Barca are relying on Alcacer.
As Lewandowski has been complaining about recently, Bayern have no back up at all as Muller isn't a proper striker and is already playing.
Madrid lose Benzema and they're relying on Borja Majoral to play every week.
You already know the domestic rivals don't have any one of Jesus' quality if they lose their main striker.
It's just how football is, you get a 25 man squad so if you lose a player in a key position you'll always be relying on the backup.

Or are you saying that because we are weak with defensive backups we should also remain weak with offensive backups to keep the status quo?
WhateverIt's a 25 man squad game. That allows for 1 replacement in each losition roughly. Everyone has to rely on 1 player if one or their starting players is injured.
Up front is where we have the most depth of anywhere in the team.
Choosing to reinforce it over LB, CB or CDM just because we flirted with Sanchez in tje summer is a very poor idea.
Hence Liverpool suffering when Mane was injured and Chelsea when Morata was and Spurs lost the game Kane missed with injury.Chelsea, Spurs and Liverpool are in a similarly vulnerable position to us though, I'll give you that.
And we only have 21 senior professionals.It's a 25 man squad game.
