I personally think if we can get in a really top drawer striker who will allow us to play 4-5-1 sometimes and a midfielder who could get 10-15 goals a season we would be in with a shout at the title
People are leaving out Palacios of their starting 11s because Huddlestone is our first choice central midfielder and Modric has to play. Doesn't mean he isn't an important part of the squad.
Really? I wouldn't agree strongly with that.
Yet he was picked every game if fit...
We had the same debate last season, I can't believe people don't see him as first choice. At least now people aren't championing Jenas ahead of him.
Klose - lethal in the box. Would be fairly cheap and a realistic short term fix whilst we establish ourselves in the champions league.
I'm going to go for getting Berbatov back - it's proven him and Keane are an electric strike pairing so re-unite them!
Good points.
The fact is that we have a developing team who could probably play total football- but how many times did Lennon, Modric, Kranjcar and Bale start a pl game together last season? The answer is none! They only made 20,21,19,18 starts respectively - about half a season each. Dawson and Bassong made only 25 pl starts each. It is amazing that we could reach 4th with such a young squad, and so many team changes, but they have the potential to improve individually and collectively for several years.
To challenge at the top we need to make 2 top notch signings for the first eleven, a "Berbatov" - and a top class central defender.

So you'd prefer a mediocre psychopath to debatably the best winger in the world? SAY WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?
