Default Do we really need a centre forward?

Call me old fashioned - I loved watching the likes of Don Weston, Wyn Davies, Billy Ashcroft and Dixie McNeil (254 goals between them) also the greats - Gary B and Andy M.

However if you look at the way Liverpool qualified for Europe (with a very dodgy defence) their goals came from all over the team without an obvious stereotypical number nine;

Philippe Coutinho 14
Sadio Mane 13
Roberto Firmino 12
Divock Origi 11
Adam Lellana 8
James Milner and Daniel Sturridge 7 apiece
Georginio Wijnalddum 6

We all seem to agree that centre forwards are very highly prized and expensive. Maybe Dean is looking for quality players who have movement and flexibility with the potential to find the net.

I hope this is not the case, Billy Ashcroft's hair alone was worth a goal start, but especially with Carl on board it wouldn't surprise me if we go for the Liverpool model.

Holroyd needs a strike partner no matter what number you tag him with

Spain won the world cup without a centre forward, is Robson-Kanu a centre forward when he plays for Wales?

I'm expecting 10-15 from Holroyd, so we've then got Rutherford, Mackreth, Wedgbury and Hurst (at the moment) in midfield/attacking positions how many goals do you think will come from these? I'll guess 6, so yes we do need a centre forward.

I think that's a fair assesment. The squad looks solid so far but we haven't signed the goalscorers yet. Holroyd and possibly Hurst may get a few each. But then the next highest scorers would probably be Pearson's and Smith who you'd expect to get a handful each. Scoring goals all over the pitch is fine (Mills team did it two seasons ago) but we don't have the players to do it.....yet.

A proven goalscorer is urgently needed!
