I agree we need him back for his goal threat. But I don't think you can say Emile hasn't enabled us to play the 4-2-3-1 properly.. His hold up play has been brilliant. But he won't get more than 5 goals even if he plays all season.I was going to say we can't possibly afford to do that. Although I do have a vague impression that Valencia won the league with Carew playing the lone striker role and only scoring once all season. That doesn't sound possible tQuote from: Matt Collins on October 24, 2010, 11:26:11 AMI agree we need him back for his goal threat.

That doesn't sound possible though!I don't recall much about Valencia but presumably they had support strikers who played off Carew and scored the goals. We don't seem to have ANY effective strikers at the moment so the best ambition at the start of a game is a 0-0 draw!
