The prospect of Kevin Doyle in January isn't one that would be overly welcomed, by the looks of it, but I think it is fair to say that we [still] do need another striker.
Defoe could well return and set the premiership alight, and all of this will be forgotten about, but I think his current injury highlights the fact that we need more than just him, and our options at the moment are not great. We definitely need another stiker who can score goals, bu this usually entails having other qualities that enable them to get into positions to score goals, such as aerial ability, touch and control, strength, ability to hold the ball up, work rate, finishing and composure in front of goal.
Now, while we don't actually have a wage cap, we are restricted in how much we are going to offer new players, and I don't believe we would offer anyone over £100k a week. I'm not entirely sure, but I think the current top earner is on something like £70k a week (open to corrections). Given our current wage policy, are there any strikers who you feel would be worth signing in January? assuming that we need someone who can slot straight into the team, without needing too much time to adapt to the premiership.
