I still feel that the team is lacking a centre foward. If
Anderson were to be pushed up as the link between midfield and
attack, he will be playing in virtually the same role as Rooney,
the one that Totti is famous for, the trequartista.
While you need players to do that, you do need some one up front,
to either compress the defence, creating space for the
trequartista(s) or making darting runs off the shoulders of
defenders or just as an added attacking dimension in passing and
finishing off moves. the danger is that with so many creative
players, we might end up like arsenal, great at passing but always
forgetting to shoot.
Ronaldo has shown his willingness to shoot and Rooney always likes
a crack at goal, it remains to be seen if the two new boys are the
same.
Rossi and Dong don't quite cut it as centre fowards, you need
someone big, tall and strong for the presence. Huntelaar would have
been nice, but i feel that Afonso Alves is more likely to
come.
A foward seems quite likely to be on the cards as Smith doesn't
quite cut it and Saha isn't really there. Solskjaer is too old to
lead the attack so someone is defintely needed.
