I think though we have to move forward now and start thinking like the potential title winners which we looked like towards the end of last season. We've passed up the opportunity of signing Owen on a free and time will tell if that was a good move, so you can only hope that we've got our eyes on bigger, better and fitter fish. Obviously we've got problems in other areas at the moment with the ongoing transfer saga with our two central midfielders, but we are surely at some point going to have to address the "cover for Torres" slot. That is unless we are going to go into the new season with a combo of Kuyt, Voronin and N'Gog as our prospective cover. Such an option would be cheap, but I think it's inconcieveable that the manager would go that way.
Unfortunately though, sparce though that cover looks I'm not sure little Louis would massively improve it. I'd have gone for Owen*, but not for Garcia.
*Just to point out, that doesn't mean I "hate Rafa with a passion", it just means that as cover (third choice behind the new striker we are hopefully going to sign) I think he would have been a good shout. I don't FWIW think ANY of Kuyt, N'Gog or Voronin are good enough, hence my feeling that we actually need two new strikers not one.
good post and i fully agree
