All this talk about how can we keep ade and vucinic happy is a little strange to me.
a) we have 38 league games
b) europa games + domestic cups
c) injuries
d) african nations cup (he can always go back to play for togo if they make it - i dont actually believe that he's fully retired from international despite what he says)
e) loss of form/rotation (yes i know harry is notoriously bad at this)
people worrying about VDV on the right, the reason why he was ineffective there was not because of his lack of ability, but rather he had donkeys to aim crosses and through balls to, whereas as support striker, he could make more of a direct impact unilaterally.
If we decide to play 442, we'd have sandro, hudd and modric for the middle. bale/modric/lennon/vdv (can cut in like modric 2 years ago) and lennon/vdv for the right with ade and vucinic up front. 451 speaks for itself. We can always change it up, put bale as left back.
If we're serious about challenging for third/honours, we need both for options and strength. If we get just Adebayor, because we worry about keeping both happy, what happens when he gets injured? Or if vucinic peters off towards the end because he's not used to playing through the winter.
WE NEED TWO NEW GOOD STRIKERS. Keep either Pav (good subs/number 2 stats) or Crouch (freak of nature can be awkward to defend against).
