For me Walcott, Torres and Suarez would be one heck of a front three !

And as for Balotelli - no thanks, I never quite understood all the hype surrounding him...

Not to mention young Raheem! I think if we could get Walcott and Torres for £25m, it'd be good business. Whether either will be available and/or willing to come to the club is another matter (although each have their own fondness for the club) - that's before we even start looking at asking prices their clubs would want.

In terms of forward options, I think those 2 would be sufficient. Suarez, Torres, Sterling, Walcott, Assaidi, Suso, would be a good array of attacking options - with Yesil and Morgan on the outskirts as well. I think 2 attackers added would be plenty. If there are any addition funds (not that I'm saying we'll even have that much to spend!) then we could focus on other areas. that may need strengthening.

Where would young Walcott be playing though in the Suarez-Torres-Walcott, doesn't he want to be the central striker? Torres if he finds his old form would be the choice for me with Suarez given more of a free roaming role but Walcott on the wing.

A front three of Sterling-Suarez-Walcott all interchanging would cause a lot of defences trouble

Finally giving Suarez more space, teams seem to know that if they *try* to keep suarez quiet we don't have many other attacking threats, but he is good enough to not let that happen with his twists/turns and nutmegs, creating something out of nothing!

Walcott's pace would also draw the defenders back and make it harder for us to be pressed high up the pitch so we should be able to have more possession in their half where it can become far more productive

although Sterling has been great for us so far, I still think we need someone with a bit more experience to come in. He is still very young, but he has now tasted first team football if we benched him he want to get away to be playing first team football

Very valid point mate, and I think that may ultimately be the biggest stumbling block in the way of him joining us. Suarez is more than capable of playing wing-forward, but given a front 3 of Sterling, Suarez and Walcott, you'd assume Suarez would be the leading candidate to play central, not Walcott. I think the offer of a CF role could be enough to lure Walcott to his boyhood team, but I doubt he'd come if he wasn't given that assurance.
