Well if Sir Jim and his team doesn’t realise how poor our squad options are in the striker department he soon will.
How can teams like Brighton and Villa have the following options ;
Minomoto, Wellbeck, E Ferguson, A Fati, J Pedro, J Enscio, Simon Adingra, A Lallana (Brighton)
O Watkins, J Ramsey, L Bailey, M Diaby, J Duran, M Rogers, Tielemans. J M
and United have - Martial(always injured), Antony (crap), Rashford (out of form), Garnaucho(19), Amad(never used), Omari forson(19) , Hojlund(now injured) , Mount (injured ) and Bruno
Heads in the medical department, recruitment need to roll very quickly !
when will the numb skulls understand goals win matches and we are 30 short ever season since ETH joined?
Any fan that still doesn’t think that our first two recruits this summer must be a new left back and a new established CF.
I mean I’m not sure why you named every attacker and even some midfielders when making a point about strikers. But you do realize buying strikers doesn’t just instantly = goals right? It’s been discussed ad nauseam in this thread that even Hojlund has basically had the least amount of service in the league and many of his goals recently have been his own brilliance. The bigger issue with our goalscoring this season is that for much of the season before this run, Rashford and Antony were genuinely zeros for output both in goals and creativity, and Garnacho is still a learning teenager.
Behind them it’s been Bruno who’s been largely poor and has lost the finishing ability he had when first arriving at the club, and then McTominay who’s actually done well goals wise but isn’t going to contribute much outside of that as a midfielder.
Point being I don’t think bringing in another decent striker instantly brings our goal tally up 10+ with the personnel and how we play at this point. Now that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t get one this summer, as it’s certainly high on the list because right now there’s 0 depth in quality across the frontline (which is why I’d prefer a forward who is comfortable playing across the line over 1 that’s strictly meant to play in the middle or on the bench).
