Who's our 4th striker?

Milner has to play the part for me - like he did away at Munich last season.

We are not set up to play with one striker and I'm not sure about the Jovetic/Aguero combination anyway.
 
Is it just me who is wondering why there is such a panic at only having 3 genuine strikers?

Aguero, Dzeko, Jovetic
Costa, Remy, Drogba
Giroud, Podolski, Welbeck
Sturridge, Balotelli, Lambert
Falcao, van Persie, Rooney

Nobody else has 4 strikers, so why the worry? I get the whole "but Aguero & Jovetic are injury prone", but so are Costa, Remy and van Persie. Then you have Falcao coming off the back of a serious injury, Rooney not the same player, Giroud out for a third of the season and only backed up by Podolski & Welbeck, and Chelsea are left with an ageing Drogba.

No, me also. We also have midfielders that can push on. That's the idea of the current squad.
It's been set up to be flexible.

Chelsea and Arsenal tend to play with one up front and Rags don't have Europe or the league cup to worry about.

It wouldnt surprise anyone if Aguero and Jovetic missed large chunks of the season and while we could play one up front with a Silva or Nasri in support its asking a lot of Dzeko.
