Seems to me that we are maybe concentrating our efforts to find a striker to the Liga BBVA, where the prices seem to be very over inflated.
I would prefer to see us linked to some bundesliga strikers, as i feel they would adapt to the english game better and would be far cheaper. I feel players like Podolski and Muller could do a great job for us. Ok, Muller may be a bit unrealistic, but there are rumours he is unhappy at Bayern and as they have just signed that youngster from tranmere(!) who knows?
Also, there is a young croat at wolfsburg, Mandzukic, who from what i have seen is quick and good in the air, and i feel he might be worth a punt.
Finally, today we have been linked with mata, which is great because he is a great player, but i fell Soldado or Aduriz from valencia would be far more beneficial, as they both tall, good in the air out and out strikers.
Sorry for rambling!!, just a few thoughts i wanted to hear your views on.

We aren't really in a position to be picky when it comes to strikers. We should be bringing in the best that we can and then find a system to work
We should sort out our formation based on the players we can get, not the other way round, which is why we had the problem of fitting VDV into our formation that was set in stone
Ideally we should be getting rid of 3 of our strikers...Get a similar striker to Crouch, but the new striker will have the ability to actually use his height as a weapon and can actually score a goal! And we should be looking for a carbon copy of Defoe, just younger, more skill and can put chances away (Rossi)

Must admit I'm getting a bit worried about the lack of a striker on the horizon. Does Harry really perceive this to be an area that we have covered? Is he just putting his faith in what we have after they had a bad season last year?
Personally I hope Pav absolutely smashes the preseason games and starts this season as 1st choice. He proved he can score from anywhere last season, even coming on cold from the bench. It's who to play with him that is the problem as Pav isnt a lone striker at all.
