Absolutely.And those teams rarely look as good with those non similar players, not so well suited to the system play, do they. Liverpool looked fucking awful with Benteke on Sunday. Mourinho would rather play no striker at all than Remy.
We already have N'Jie who the last few times he's been brought on has played off the shoulder as a CF in a very similar role to Berahino when he plays up front (he was wrongly given offside on Saturday when clean through), and he potentially offers more as a wide forward. And what about Son ? If we are going to have a "different" type we've already spent 20m on him (and 10m on N'Jie). And we have players like Harrison coming through, who IMO has the potential to be at least as good as Berahino.
I really hope we don't waste money on a player who doesn't fit the system as a CF, isn't better as a wide forward than anyone we already have there.
