What is needed most ?

For me it is a wide creative attacking player . we can have two outstanding strikers but will mean feck all if they dont get give the chances . as i have stated already how many teams in recent years have one the league with two outstanding strikers , it has always been one plus outstanding wide creative players like fakey, pires,lunjdberg,robben,cole,duff,giggs

that is the sort of player we are missing.

Of course both would be great but think the wide player more of a priority.

i think we are more in need of wide attacking players ie players who fecking stay glued to the wings and nip in a decent cross that at least beats the first man :bat:

to stop kuyt going out there to supply the balls in to enable him to get on the end of things and maybe nick a goal to boost his confidence.

Hang em first. Question em later.
If Kuyt's the target for these creative wingers with their crosses then they might as well not bother. Kuyt's heading is worse then Crouch's.
To be honest I think we need both. We need to spend the money to buy the players we need and not worry about making enough money back on sales for once.

The letters 'e' and 'd' in the threat title.

Or alternatively, a striker a la Torres.

Even when he gets chances, Kuyt isn't a goalscorer. He's not alert or hungry enough for goals - I've lost count of the number of times the ball's broken in the box and he's been on his heels and not able to react or anticipate.

threat title ? ! So you would get another striker before a wide player ?

I think that's what I said. Yep, it is.

And yes seeing as you ask. The thread title is "what is need most?". A simple "-ed" on the end of the word need makes it a coherent sentence. :ale:

well i would of thought before insulting my grammar ensure your own spelling is correct as well to save yourself looking stupid ;)

There is no point getting another striker when we wont have the wide players to create chances for them . would rather spend 15-20 mil each on two wide players than 20 mil on a striker , best case would be one wide and one striker.

i would like to have 2 wide players and another top striker and get rid of Voronin, have Crouch, Torres, Kuyt and the new striker and i'd be happy... i do honestly think that if we had the 2 wide players and Kuyt got around the box a bit better he would start to score a bit i think the lads a bit confuzzled about his positioning at the mo, as in Holland he was an in the box type of player which is what i thought we bloody bought him for...

but with 2 wide players i think everyone would know what their doing as i think there is a lot of confusion with our team at the mo with everyone cutting inside and out and no-one knowing whos going to stick out on the wing.. just my two pence for what its worth(probably nowt mind :lmao: )

i agree with everything you have said , if i had to list them in priorities would say left wide player first then right and maybe even a left bck then a striker . would get rid of voronin , kewell,riise

i think riise's main problem is he can't make up his mind what he is, left back, left midfield, or striker and he very rarely does any of them well.

i would say left flank is probably top priority, as we still have pennant, who i'm still unsure about, he's another one when we bought him he was a player who seemed to hug the wing at his previous club and cause a bit of trouble ;) but he seems to cut inside as well.

i do like yossi, allright hes not ever gonna be the best in the world but he does create quite a lot, and gets in or around the box, but wasn't he another one signed as the answer to the wing issue?

i think yossi was signed as more of a garcia replacement , a bit of creativity as opposed to being a wide player

A difficult question to answer, but if pushed really hard I'd say it was the wide men needed most - albeit we're buggered if Torres gets injured.

We currently have no really viable wide left option - Kewell has lost it, Riise is not good enough, nor is Aurelio and Babel is out of position. We have got Pennant and Benayoun on the right, although neither fit the bill as they can't go past defenders and get behind.

We do, however, need another quality striker to go with Torres. I'd like to see Babel being used with Torres and also to keep Crouch. Voronin just isn't good enough and whilst Kuyt's workrate is excellent he is woeful in front of goal.

I'd get shot of:

Kewell
Riise
Aurelio
Pennant
Kuyt
Voronin
Benayoun

And bring in:

a left back
a left winger
a right winger
a striker

i expect a few people want babel up front but everytime he has started he has been toilet , stick to him coming on as a sub for the time being .

but everytime Babel's started it's been on the wing, so i would start him up top, and would stick with Pennant on the wing until we can get someone in the summer, but if we are stiuck with an LW then stick Babel there and bring in Pandev or Podolski and Nicky Shorey for LB

Good bout with Pandev i have watched him a few times playing for Lazio and he looks like he has the makings of a quality player
