This. Unless of course I'm wrong and they do turn out to be better. But otherwise, this.If we can't get Lewandowski, Mbappe or Haaland this window (which we almost certainly can't), then we should just stick with what we have. None of the other names being mentioned are an improvement on what we already have.
I think when KDB and Foden get fit we will drop the centre-forward.If we can't get any of the top strikers in then i'd stick with Torres this season and see just how well he does.
This kid could be a star, i know the game is littered with 'could be stars' who never quite make it but i think he could be the real deal, given time.
It's tempting to think we would have beaten Spurs with a fit and full squad but those out and out defensive sides are the ones we struggle with.I appreciate we've only played canon fodder so far and real tests are to come against Leicester, Chlsea, and the Coach Wreckers.
But we've already scored 10 goals. The most in the league. If we'd played our best team against Spurs, we'd have won that as well. And should have won it. We also have goals in KDB and Foden to come.
The false 9 works because we have no striker, and no focal point up front, so other (managers) and teams aren't sure who to mark or who pick up when we attack. Our playing system is fluid, with players interchanging and moving about freely when we attack.
Arsenal and Norwich were blown away and they tried to defend, our biggest problem is counter attacking teams, we have issues with those.It's tempting to think we would have beaten Spurs with a fit and full squad but those out and out defensive sides are the ones we struggle with.
Because the DM's aren't quick enough. Like someone said in another thread, get Bissouma now and a striker next season.Arsenal and Norwich were blown away and they tried to defend, our biggest problem is counter attacking teams, we have issues with those.
It is not just their fault, we leave ourselves wide open at times, added to the fact we miss far too many big chances in the big games.Because the DM's aren't quick enough. Like someone said in another thread, get Bissouma now and a striker next season.
No point buying one themI think when KDB and Foden get fit we will drop the centre-forward.
