I don’t think we need a Messi or Ronaldo for that matter (in their prime, oh yeah) or the likes of a
Sancho or anyone else who runs fast into space beyond the back line. We don’t generally play a counter attack game
What we need is a guy who arrives in the right spot at the right time around the six yard area.
A fox in the box.
A tap in merchant.
A Gert Muller.
A Gary Lineker.
A big Lewendoski type or Haaland would be nice but ultimately someone cute and quick over 5 yards.
Basically someone who will up our conversion rate from 1 in 5 or whatever.
Can Torres be taught?
Is Delap that guy?
Haven’t a clue, but let’s not get giddy about every guy who scores in two games in a row for teams that don’t play anything like us.
If we don’t get a striker this window, yes I’m disappointed, but let’s leave the recruiting to our guys at City who have the whole picture.
