New striker?

[Колобок]

even though a proper striker could've grabbed 5 against this shambolic lot today, it's not matches like this when you need one. still fancy getting one whose eyes are on the net all the time.

In Torres we have one. Gives Delap a chance as well. At some stage we need to trust some of the talent coming through the academy and give them a chance to make it with us.

Tough tough season ahead, Matches against the likes of dippers, PSG, and Chelsea screams for an elite finisher who can score from half a chance (think of Kun).
I am all in for Delap and confident he will come good but he should pave his way a long a senior striker . Torres in my eyes has great potential but not as a no 9.

Not your expectations though?

Mine are always low, believe me

Let's see how we go until the New Year as I doubt we'll be bringing in a new striker. We might find by then that we're happy with what we have.

Actually shocking to me that the connections in Abu Dhabi really want to face PSG twice without a proper 9. You’d think there would be some pride there

The tough UCL matches only come after the New though. If we qualify

Even today there we struggled to get the ball to someone in the box so that they could have a shot. I think getting a striker wouldn't help as much as people think.

I'd put a cheeky bid in for Benzema, better than Kane and would be good for 2 more seasons, allowing more time for us to developed or find the perfect Kun replacement.

A striker tends to move into positions which a midfielder won't. That's why it's important to get the right striker.

Maybe if Berna were to go, I would make a £152 million offer for Kane to see if...
