A striker (25 replies)
I think today, as many expected, showed that there is a glaring hole in our squad.
A striker with pace who can run behind but also hold the ball up.
Basically a younger Donaldson or maybe the Che Adams we had when we sold him.
Obviously it's pretty blatant that a £15m striker is needed but that's just an example.
Donaldson for instance would have been perfect in this team.
I don't know if Leko is the player that can fill this role, I don't know him well enough. If he is the option there then I think we will need another winger.
Any team worth their salt that comes to St. Andrews can park the bus and say come at us and we won't score, with Juke 30 yards from goal we offer very little threat.
We didn't look like conceding again and the improvement is vast already, it's early days, I would just say this is something that needs to be addressed this window if we have any designs on the top 8-10.
We are in absolutely no relegation danger so I don't mind if we wait for the right player, we can get by. The money we have in the bank in this buyer's market puts us in a strong position to address it.
Who's out there in the Championship or on the fringes in the Prem? Will we go for someone like this from Europe?
