Do we need a back up for Zlat?
Or can we rely on Rooney or Rashford (possibly Martial) to step up as the main centre forward, should the big man get injured?
Looking at the state of the table at the time of posting, our 'goals for' column is considerably weaker than anyone else in the top six and I'd question: Rooney's fitness and ability to operate up top, on his own; Rashford's experience (asking too much of him, too soon); and Martial's goal scoring record. If so, who could he get in? |

Absolutely nothing wrong with rooneys fitness.
Buy Defoe.... It's a tricky one...we have the numbers for back up, but would the bring the number of gols that Zlatan brings.... It's too much of a risk to bring in an unknown striker..I'd like a bit more pace, but I feel we're covered ok for now.. |

I am absolutely convinced that there is a plan in place, if not already executed, to bring in a top forward player (for example, Griezmann), to essentially 'replace' what Zlat is doing this season. He won't be out of the setup entirely next year but will take a step back inevitably due to his age. It's obvious Jose does rate Martial and Rashford - who are the obvious immediate replacements - but neither are suited to being up top in our current system with the way we play. Martial for me has more potential to play that role (Rashford is still way too young) on a consistent basis, but he's not there yet and who else is there? Next year, ideally for me, will see a forward line of: Martial/Rashford - Griezmann - Mkhitaryan/Lingard/Mata Defoe is a fine player but not a long term solution, and I don't believe we need anyone before the end of the season. |

Given a choice of whether you'd play him or Rashford as a centre forward, though, I'd be picking Rashford every time. And is Rashford ready to be the main man, should Zlat's incredible injury free career take a nosedive? |

Look like he'd be something special when he was at Wimbledon. All down hill after the Crank that video he did with Anton Ferdinand that Soulja Boy didn't use cos he didn't know who threw were. |

Personally I'd say Rooney is most suited to the role depending on his fitness but I'd rather see Martial or Rashford there. Sounds odd but Sir Bob's record remaining intact until the end of the season would be hilarious. |
