I would rather have Lukaku then Andy Carrol, Andy carrol would want to play straight away regardless.

Firstly, yes we need to look at bringing a striker to the club. However not just a striker we are crying out for talented attacking creative players. I know most people are looking at the CB position and saying that is where we need to most urgently recruit from but i disagree, i think we need a a centre forward, a winger and a creative attacking midfielder. This will not happen in January though.

Going back to the striker though, we do not necesarily need a player in the Drogba mould, yes Drogba is perfect for playing the 4-3-3, but what we really need is someone who can take up the right positions for a lead striker in a 4-3-3. Nico tends to go walkabouts playing there which makes it more obvious what Drogba does when he is out. But lets go back a few years and look at forwards who HAVE worked as a lead striker in a 4-3-3, Gudjohnson and Crespo for starters are not exactly Drogba like players, we are not the sort of team who want to lump the ball up to a big forward, what we need is a player who can hold the ball up and bring the wingers and attacking midfielder into the game and obviously bang in the goals. Take a look at Borini, not the biggest or the strongest but he leads the line in a 4-3-3 perfectly.

Basically what i am saying is that we do not need to look for a Drogba like player. Although saying that i would like to see us sign Lukaku.

Personally i think an attacking midfielder should be number 1 on our priority list, where we are badly falling down without Lamps.
