So we are two days into the transfer window and already we have seen a couple of moves including Chelsea
Daniel Sturridge, highly talented but frustrating all the same, has gone to Liverppool for 12m pounds
And its a medical away from confirming that Demba Ba has joined Chelsea from Newcastle United for a fee of 7.5m
Shrewd business you would say
But to me we are still lacking one more bit of firepower
I dont think we can continue to compete with only two strikers when you see that our rivals United and City have four strikers each than can put the ball in the back of the net
But with Torres and Ba we have two strikers who are viewed as decent, Torres isnt the player he was and Ba has yet to be proven for our club, although hopefully it wont take long.
I think that we need to sign one more striker, but he needs to have certain attributes
Power, technical ability, able to hold the ball up, can frighten defenders and most importantly a clinical finisher
You would think all this applies to one Radamel Falcao, and we all would love to have him in a blue shirt as soon as possible, but it isnt possible right now. So who else is there that can be a good signing for the club and give us the goals that will bring us back to the top
Some will say that we have too many attackers, but when lat years January window opened we had Didier Drogba, Nicolas Anelka, Daniel Sturridge, Salomon Kalou and Fernando Torres on our books, right now we have just Torres
My personal pick would be trying to hijack Juventus bid for Fernando Llorente
The guy is 27, has quick feet, can finish and holds up the ball well. And he is out of contract in the summer, we could possibly get him for around 10m considering the standoff he has had with Bilbao this season.
