I disagree with this, Chelsea and United have two decent strikers like us.
Yes we need another striker but to say most have four decent strikers is incorrect, unless you are classing Welcrap as decent but even then who would be their 4th.......
As for Gerrard what's wrong with Henderson being his long term replacements or Allen, both could possibly step up to becomea great.
Sturridge and Suarez can easily score 40-50 goals between them, then with the midfielders chipping in with a few things are looking a lot better than last season, our defence is looking a lot better.
I am also glad we wasn't held to ransom by players, like Shay Given for instance, he wants 60k a week to keep a bench warm, as if we are going ot do that.
Our best signing this summer was keeping Suarez.
Haha!
Totally agree with this!
Did anyone hear what Mourinho had to say about big squads a few weeks back?
-"I hate big squads. It's impossible to keep everyone happy and at top form if the squad is too big".
To me this makes sense - but exactly WHAT is a too big squad then? It depends on many variables - of which perhaps the number of games to be played is the most important you can manage on beforehand. Injuries can and will always occur, but can you really make place for a top class replacement in any area if the preferred player gets unjured?
Rotating a big squad too much when you don't have Europa games is bad management IMO.
That said, I would definitely have liked us to have signed someone like HM, Costa, Willian or Mata. It didn't happen this time but it might happen next window for all we know.
I just hope in January (or next year in July) we don't find ourselves in a position where we NEED to find a replacement for Suarez - because if a selling club knows that, then it will take stupid money to get a deal done for us.
