We need a proven goal-scorer and a creative midfielder.
We did not miss out on Crouch. Which Gudjohnsen? Joey or Eidur?

Looks like Santa Cruz is leaving city in January. He hasn't done much for a while but might be worth a shout if sensibly priced. Could fit in nicely with us in the short term.

OK, so they do exist, but they all cost £20m+

OK, so they do exist, but they all cost £20m+ No they don't.I don't really understand the fatalism about buying a goalscorer. It's never easy to find and acquire very good players in any position, goalscorers included, but I don't see why we shouldn't at least have a go.Of our current strikers, one is injured for a while, one looks like he doesn't give a fuck beyond waving at the Holte End any more (much the pity), one is enjoying a rare spell of good form but will never be relied upon to provide goals, and one is an unproven kid.It's difficult to find a decent striker, but if we don't try, if we just accept that we're not going to be able to find someone, we might as well pack up and stop even trying to improve, surely?
