    Well we certainly need somebody who can give us 20 goals.

    I agree (about Davis). One of the first names on the team sheet for me.

    I think our success is about not having a best player. We have had a group of players that fit each other well.

    We've not had one of those in the Premier League since our return. Not many teams do.

    For me, it's not so much about a goalscorer per se, more about a goal threat. Someone who scares the opposition, makes things happen and can win you games. In short - a Mane type player!

    It could be Redmond but I'd prefer to add another, especially given the number of games we will potentially play this season.

    The Derek Reeves days were wonderful for goals. Served by two excellent wingers Paine and Sydenham
    Not Premier League I know.

    But it's impossible not to have a best player...

    I was going to make a case for VVD or Fonte. But I'd probably go with Forster. I have said long before now that he is England's best keeper. One of the best goal keepers about at present.

    20 goal a season striker is thrown about so easily. Here are the only players to score 20+ in the past 10 seasons:

    Henry
    Van Nistlerooy
    Drogba
    Ronaldo
    Adebayor
    Torres
    Rooney
    Bent
    Tevez
    Lampard
    Berbatov
    RVP
    Aguero
    Suarez
    Bale
    Sturridge
    Toure
    Kane
    Costa
    Vardy.

    Very few of them could we ever imagine playing for Saints!!

    Although funnily enough one of them already has.

    Pretty sure we could get Bent if we tried.

    Amazing to think that some fans on this forum were slaughtering him 20 months ago.

    I'd be disappointed as I think he has so much to offer.

    I've never slaughtered any of our players but I'm still to be convinced by big Fraser.

    Forster is good, but he has room for improvement. Have no complaints about having him as the keeper at Saints....how much would we have to pay to get another keeper who was that little 10% better? Nice to have an area we don't worry about.

    People shouldn't just watch Forster but listen to him too. He's a fantastic organiser.
