Trueblue1982 48 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 There are lots of options but I don't think that finding a main striker should be the priority this Summer. What will be the point in having a main striker if we cant create anything for the striker to feed off of? Priority number one must be a creative midfielder. What is the point in having a main striker if, at the other end, we are leaking goals by the bucket load, a rejig in the defence, be it a new right back or a new centre back, must be priority number two. Then a new striker is priority number three, I also wouldn't say no to another winger.i think you hit the nail on the head there, all this talk of a new striker, a new striker will be in the same position as the strikers we already have no service, and i see everyone is jumping on the hate Torres bus still/again 9getting boring now) most games this season it has been the midfeild where the game has been lost, Drogba hasnt done that much this season aswell. lets wait and see what happens at the end of the season and who we buy, but we need creative midfield, solid holding role (think essien will be that guy) solid right back and natural width we dont need two, just one with two good feet that can switch sides and mix it up and give us a plan b when plan a isnt working.

We need people who can supply them; rather than buying a playmaker (which we already have in Mata), we need two decent wingers, and a right-back. Believe it or not, that's all. Maybe a couple more squad players like Meireles as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have scored 47 goals this season giving us an average of a goal every 10 shots, while utd only have 421 shots and 66 goals (a goal every 6.3 shots). Had we had this ratio of efficiency we would've had 74 goals, which is more than any other team in the EPL including city.Really comes to show that having a few decent strikers can make all the difference in the world.http://www.thescore....lits?type=goalsEDIT: Those stats don't include our single goal from 23 shot today.

MetsajCFC 1,255 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Cavani, but that would mean we'd sell off Torres and Drogba leaves or takes lesser role, which he won't. Cavani, Sturridge and Lukaku are the only CFs we need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesman2610 1,423 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Higuain as it stands today with madrid and not getting every start 17 goals and 4 assists hes the guy for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranklyFrank 103 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Higuain as it stands today with madrid and not getting every start 17 goals and 4 assists hes the guy for meI would like him too but would Madrid sell him? We also need to get another good winger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesman2610 1,423 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Higuain and Torres seem similarTrue in the sense that both are the poacher type striker.. the only difference currently is form..Higuain was in a funk as well but got out of it through the stability of the manager situation at Madrid Torres on the other hand well we have seen what stability we have on that part of the field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English Freak 456 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Once we get a proper winger (Willian, Hoilett), Sturridge should be played as a CF.As for Torres, if the club can get 10 - 15 million, let him go and possibly re-invest the cash into signing a winger/playmaker.
