Go for a proper striker and, if we can't find one, back the lad we've produced instead. Don't clog up the squad with more crap that comes with massive wages and transfer fees. Be brave in the market too. Spend the money on midfield and the fullback positions if we can't find the right quality to put up front. We would have been in Champions League right now if Eddie had been our second choice striker going into this season, that's the long and short of it really. We can get there next year with him up top, but we can't do it with Tierney playing 52% of all games. We can't do it with Xhaka in midfield and Cedric at right-back.
Some points in regards to this:
1 - we need a proper striker because we don't score enough goals across the team;
2 - we need a proper striker to convert our early chances created because we do not react well to going behind;
3 - we need a proper striker to score goals so we can take points after going behind; and
4 -we need a proper striker because we haven't had one post RVP.
I don't think Nketiah is that guy atm to lead the line in lieu of signing a proper striker, at least not next season at a club with supposed intentions to regain top4/UCL.
