We are light on qaulity cover, Jo, RSC arnt the level we need. However it doesnt help that Tevez and Ade play so deep. Even when Ade was brought on today he was challenging for the ball by the touchline on the half way line, we need an outlet up front.

I still say we could use a world class front man. Look at Pool today, not a great performance by all accounts but 2 chances dropped to Torres and he put 1 away, game won. I feel thats what we lack

Definitely need a top quality goalscorer imo. All the possession in the world may look good, but we need someone to put the ball in the back of the net. Tevez is a great player, but he's not the answer. Adebayor is a great player, but seems to be sulking. Maybe Balotelli will step up to the plate, but he's young and new to the Premiership. I'm amazed Mancini didn't go in for Ibrahimovic.
 
Definately yes. We are relying on Tevez having a season like last, what 27 goals ? ade got 14 goals last season bellamy 13. Ade doesnt look interested, Tevez isnt really firing on all cylinders at the moment. We cant expect him to get the same return as last season without Bellamy in the side.

From the get go Silva and Mario need to be replacing Bellamys 13 goals and similar number of assists, its going to be difficult especially with Mario injured currently. Silva looks miles off making a contribution at the moment.

Ade + Bellamy + Tevez what 54 goals and god knows how many assists last season thats a big ask when Ade and Tevez look out of sorts (Or disinterested in ades case) + Silva and Mario who are new to the league.

We need a proven top quality forward who is guranteed to get 25 - 30 goals every season IMO - we dont have one currently. Cant see it happening now though. Jo, Caicedo and RSC as backup and options is not going to be good enough if we want to finish top 4.

We brought on Ade and Jo and it basically cost us a point in that game we were relatively comfortable until that. My take anyway.
 
We have some amazing talent up front but i still wish we had a 'proper' centre forward, someone like Dzeko or Zamora would do me.
 
look, we're hardly light, but, when you compare it to our options in other areas of the pitch, then undoubtedly yes. Jo should be nowhere near a squad of 25 for where we're trying to get to.

putting the ball in the net is the hardest thing in footy and it seems pointless to have spent all this money and not have better options at the business end

Edit - if today makes us rethink our transfer strategy and go and get someone, it could be the most important result of our season.

Oh for the love of god to have bellamy on the bench today....never thought I'd say that!

Agree with you though, I trust mancini and hope he also knows this and there is something in the offing.
 
IF WE HAVE ANY MONEY LEFT, BUY A GOALSCORER, , ,WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO SCORE IN 90 MINUTES AGAINST TEAMS LIKE SUNDERLAND, THE RAGS WOULD HAVE DONE, AND CHELSEA, WE DONT GET ENOUGH GOALS FROM MID-FIELD. ITALIAN MENTALITY. BUY A GOALSCORER. IF TEVEZ & BALOTELLI GET CROCKED, WERE GOOSED. BUY A GOALSCORER MR MANCINI. ITS ONY MONEY. !
