Striker mate. Between keeper and DM on your list for me....
I agree to a point. We need to build more QUALITY depth for our front 3. You can’t have Lallana, Ings, and Dom as your replacements for the front 3 in big games. However, a true Coutinho replacement can move upfront in a pinch, so can Ox. I would love to get a real striker, but I like Bob as much as any striker in the PL in our system. Building an attack from the back forward is what we need. We need a good DM to take pressure off the back 4 and than have better link up play from the other two midfielders (the way Ox was starting to flourish into before the injury). Kieta and a Couthino clone can hopefully bolster of link up play.
As far as CB’s go I would love to improve VVDs playing partner, but the way Lovern grew with VVD makes me think they trust him enough to just build depth instead of a replacement. As far as LB goes we just need someone to be serviceable in smaller cup games and the occasional PL when Moreno leaves and Robbo needs a rest.
