I think we want a player who is versatile i.e. can play centrally as the striker or move out wide. Someone with pace and a good touch as well. It makes me wonder why we were targeting someone like Bony in the first place.
Maybe cause we're short at the 9 position, whilst having a number of forwards that can play wide. But I agree, it is best to find that versatile forward who can slot into any of the front 3. Those are usually class players though, and from this bit, I don't see Rodgers going for that calibre: BR to LFC website: "Across the board, we still want to add a little bit more depth to what we have."
