I thought we needed more goals? More back up to Kane?

We are scoring on average just over 2 goals a game how on earth do we need to score more goals, also why would Kane need a backup when there are 2 players who can come in and play in his position?

Why are you ignoring Son who is a far better player that Rodriguez?

He's ok up front but it's not his natural position and I feel back up cf is definitely somewhere we can improve, I'm not advocating signing Rodriguez btw

Rodriguez' natural position isn't up front either, who else can we sign that would be able to come in and hit the ground running for a decent price?

I think our striking options are the best we can hope for this current time, there's people out there who want to see players like Rodriguez come in because they don't have any patience or foresight.

Your post that I quoted said why would we need anyone, I disagree that we don't need anyone up front

I'm pretty sure Rodriguez was originally a striker could be wrong though

What we need to do is support Janssen and give him time and patience, which is exactly what we are doing now.

Not sure on that, all I know is that Son is a better option that Rodriguez either playing as a forward or as a striker.

It's his first season. A couple of seasons ago many on here would have liked us to bin Danny Rose and Kyle Walker. Now we have the best attacking fullbacks in the League who aren't too shabby defensively either. Janssen is having a tough run but his head hasn't dropped. He hits a shot on target and it gets deflected wide whilst other players hit a shot headed for the corner flag and it gets deflected into the net. Poch backs him and that's good enough for me.

Well I guess we'll have to agree to disagree

Are you talking about the same Hull City that are 1 place and 1 point off the bottom of the league? With a -27 goal difference ??

Just checking to make sure you're not going insane.

The same Hull who are also only two points from safety. There's only six points separating the bottom six, any three of them could go down (although any combination will probably include Sunderland.)

Ighalo seemingly the next one to take the China bait.. it wasn't so long ago that he was banging them in the PL and attracting interest from big PL clubs..

He rejected China either last January or in the summer. Looks like he regrets that now. Goals have completely dried up.
