What if we just went with Delap, Jesus, and Torres?

If we want to win against the top teams and fend off rivals for the title - Yes.

If we are happy crushing lesser sides only - No.

Isn't Torres a centre forward type striker?

Wouldn't it be worth trying to blend him into the system? I don't think hes quite ready yo take the role on full time and intensively yet but.....

The options we have with him, ie picking him for certain games and letting him sit out others is quite phenomenal I think.

One of the reasons I posted is because of the praise Torres has been getting recently. We know he's got an eye for goal, and he's been getting praise for playing like a striker, but it's mostly been "Torres is making all the right runs, but City don't play those kind of balls".
 
Yes Yes & Yes... Against Spurs and Norwich some of our high and low crosses were crying out for a natural striker to put his head into it or stick out a leg and score!

We could have won the game against Spurs if we had a Natural Striker.

We will lose more games like this if we don't get a striker.

So is it a question of adaptation and trying to work him into our system or do you think he is the plan "c" option, with plans "a" being buy in a big name, plan "b" being play without a no.9 and plan "c" being Torres?

Or should that plan "c" be plan "a"?
 
Bit disappointed this has been merged with a thread about Jesus, Torres and Delap, as that's surely about whether those three are good enough to be our "striker" and this is more about how todays tactics make the concept of "striker" meaningless.

And everyone who said yes to my question, would say no to the original thread question :)

ps, there may be a thread this needs merging with if I've missed it (apologies), but not sure it's this one.

How about we just give Gabby a proper chance, I could see him becoming the prolific striker we’re looking for. It’s certainly a better option that taking a punt on Vlahovic
 
If we dont end up buying a striker before windows end, would really like to see Delap given a decent shot this season. The kid will be a star for us in the future, but he's certainly big enough to handle himself and give us a decent goals return right now.

He is a way off Prem quality,but sometimes when thrown in the deep end you suddenly learn how to swim.
