i really should be somewhere else
i started a thread before the season started and i said we need FIVE available good quality strikers to call on. At that time we were still in the carling cup! I said all the top teams (except arsenal) have 5 strikers to call on!
I knew tevez would be our main striker and i also knew caecido, rsc and jo could not be relied on!

I took loads of shit for this thread. I am now not gloating or happy to be proved right, anything but! but we need to address this in jan if we are to mount a serious challenge on our remaining 3 poss trophies!

If tevez suffers a serious injury tomorrow in training or goes walkabouts in argentina, who is going to play up front for us? and would you be happy with your selection fellow blues!

We need Dzeko and also one more proven striker and then ade could be the 4th! I would lose rsc and jo as quick as a fox in a henhouse! We have a long and arduous season and as the last few matches show in quick succession.

The trouble is i have no confidence bringing on rsc or jo in the 65th min at craven cottage if we are one down! Lets spend big again in jan and secure the gold at the bottom of the rainbow this year!

Can't wait for stoke away and watch mario take some pressure off king carlito!!

Though Ade is not going to be a 4th striker. You think his attitude sucks now as a number 2 wait until he is buried on the bench. He will walk away in January and we should be thankful. Jo will work as a 4th behind Mario and Dzeko until we get someone better this summer.
 
Problem is keeping them all happy bud, particularly when we rarely play more than one up front although that said we were getting linked heavily with Dzeko last summer and this speculation has resumed again so we'll see. Definitely agree with you.

I think if he had right pair we would be playing two every game. Tevez/Balotelli; Tevez/Dzeko would work well.

mancini will go after audley harrison in january, after he made no attempt to go forward and attack on saturday night... :-)
 
I dont think we need any strikers (although I think we might have to bite the bullet with Tevez and let him go, he is a great player and earns every penny but he dosnt want to be here I salute his commitment under those circumstances agree Dzeko would be ideal) What we really need is some creative offensive midfielders to provide the ammunition the strikers we have.
We are two players away from dominating the premier league.
 
Why such a hype over Dzeko? Is he really as good as everybody paints him out to be on here? From what ive seen he looks nothing more than average.....
If anybody can prove me wrong through videos or what then please do.

Agreed a creative offensive midfielder is essential (schweinsteiger please,) BUT I agree with the OP a striker also required, I would sign Torres, proven prem class and on his day second only to the Drog.
