I would of said striker however nearly created a war against my self when this was suggested hahaha.

 

We need a striker but equally need a winger but the winger would have to be of the standard of Ziyech

The age old "problem" is that we play one central striker with support from the wide players and Maddison behind, so any specialist centre forward is unlikely to get many or any starts. However when we are behind and chasing a game and decide to go with two down the middle it would help to have someone capable of making a significant contribution. A better option could be to put Gray, Barnes or Maddison in there, more central, and have a new wide player in their place for those 20-25 minutes or so, just to get an extra body closer to goal.

 

The huge problem would come if Vardy misses games through injury or suspension. If he pulled a hamstring v Wolves after the window's shut we'd have Nacho and (presuming Slimani has gone) no option(s) on the bench. Unless one of the U-23's steps up big time we need at least one more CF on the books considering we're losing Shinji and probably Slimani. Someone who can do both like our old friend Kramaric would therefore be ideal but he'd expect to start.

 

So my cheat-y answer is someone who can do both, who has more chance of playing wide but has a bit more CF than winger about them. Kram'imin!

82% say winger as i post ...  think we all seem to agree ...   :thumbup:

Logically if 82% vote in one direction then the remaining 18% must disagree, given that we don't have a "Don't Know".

 

BTW I disagree and voted Centre Forward, since we only have one who can score goals

A player with the technical ability to do both.

 

We were linked with Nathan Pepe last season, he would have been top quality and able to play both roles. For a club like ours we need to ahead of the curve and spot these players a season before the big clubs.
