I think a strong focal point type striker who can hold the ball up would benefit the team a lot until Benteke is fit.

Altidore isn't a very good player though, unless I'm missing lots of unsung good work he does.

Better than milner central midfielders in order that I remember them...

Mortimer
Sid
Barry
Townsend
Richardson
Hendrie
Mcmahon
Platt
Delph
Oh dear.
The top three in your list were comfortably better than JM.

Townsend - hmmm, not sure: more drive but not the range of passing that JM has.
Platt was a No 10 and played a different game to JM.
Delph has yet to do it.
Richardson was a water carrier who occasionally weighed in with goals.
Hendrie was inconsistent and prone to acts of stupidity.
McMahon sadly played relatively poorly for us - great at Everton and Liverpool.

Kieran Richardson?

Townsend was better than Milner in pretty much every department, including passing.

Townsend in some respects was Milner before Milner. He had almost everything you'd want in CM. Strong, aggressive, great left foot. A really good leader too.

Talks complete bollocks now mind you, but he was a super player and captain.
